HISTORY
The Notional Man was born in an alternate timeline through a "phantom pregnancy" because his mother wished for a baby. Seeing himself as not truly alive, he used his strange abilities as a professional super-hero and porn-star together with fellow superhumans Front Page, who became Notional Man's lover, and Nowhere Man, who took away with the trio's money.
A fight with Nowhere Man and Animal Man – who had accidentally crossed over to this timeline – left the Front Page dead. The vengeful Notional Man then kidnapped this timeline's version of Animal Man's daughter Maxine to kill them both, but Animal Man had a fit of rage and ripped the Notional Man's head off – the tortured non-existence was finally over.
POWERS AND WEAPONS
Notional Man had the power of "not being noticed", and was an exceptional tracker through his ability to smell memories and thoughts. He also possessed a pair of forceps that could drain the lifeforce of anyone.
