History: (Animal Man #28-30)-Nowhere Man is a resident of Earth-27, a hypertimeline almost identical to our own. When Nowhere Man was an adolescent his mutant powers manifested themselves, causing his mother to abandon him. He was taken in by his uncle Barney and made a star of a circus sideshow as the Molecularly Displaced Freak. After leaving the circus he decided to earn a living as a superhero, teamed up with fellow third-stringers Notional Man andFront Page. They achieved a small degree of success, but their adventures didn't pay the bills, so they began side careers in the pornography industry. Nowhere Man thought the films weren't up to his artistic standards, so he split with the team's money. Front Page and Notional Man swore revenge, and began tracking him down. The C.I.A. then contacted Nowhere Man and recruited him to bodyguard President Eagleton from the Angel Mob, a trio of mutants with immense mental abilities. Nowhere Man was supposed to convince Animal Man (who was currently displaced from his own timeline) to join this mission, but when they met Front Page and Notional Man suddenly appeared. Nowhere Man's former friends were killed by Animal Man, and the time had now come to protect the President. The team of Nowhere Man and Animal Man successfully protected the presidents' life, but the Angel Mob escaped unscathed.
