Harley Quinn’s New Variant Hints At A Hilarious Trend For DC Heroes and Villains

In DC’s Christmas special, a new variant of Harley Quinn indicates that there may be more to the Fifth Dimension than Earth’s heroes know.

Caveat! This post contains SPOILERS for DC’s Grifter Got Run Over By A Reindeer #1In the DC Comics Christmas special, harley quinn The new variant sparks quite a fun trend for DC heroes and villains. While trying to enjoy the holidays, Harley finds Gotham under siege by a version of herself from the Fifth Dimension that seeks to make things much more chaotic and entertaining. Combined with the recent debut of by nightwing The fifth-dimensional imp, a pattern is potentially beginning to form in the DC Universe.

in the new DC’s Grifter Got Hit By A Reindeer #1, the anthology special features a short story by writer John Layman with art by Juan Doe. Starring Harley Quinn, the story is titled “Eight Crazy Nights” in which Harley meets Ms. Trxlchyk, her own fifth-dimensional imp responsible for the recent Gotham City crisis featuring giant monsters, rabid reindeer, muggers of snowmen with mint mangoes and more. As such, Tryxy’s existence potentially suggests that each hero and/or villain has their own variants of imps with a penchant for mischief.

Does every DC hero and villain have their own fifth-dimensional imp?

Fortunately, Harley dissuades Mrs. Tryx from ruining Christmas, though DC’s newest imp promises to show up for other festivities like next Halloween. Regardless, it’s worth noting that Dick Grayson’s Nightwing just got his own fifth-dimensional imp, aka Nite-Mite (a mirror of Batman’s Bat-Mite imp). While Trxy claims that he is from the Fifth Dimension and a Half, the theory still stands that each hero and villain may have their own imp and could one day meet them when they decide to come to DC’s main reality.

While the original fifth-dimensional imp is Superman’s nemesis Mister Mxyzptlk, she’s not exactly a counterpart to the Man of Steel the way Bat-Mite, Nite-Mite, or Ms. Trxlchyk are to Batman, Nightwing, and Harley respectively. Perhaps Superman’s direct counterpart has yet to be seen? Either way, these new imps from the Fifth Dimension could certainly lead to a very wild DC event down the road.

In any case, it would be a lot of fun to see Trxy return for a new story in next year’s Halloween special, just as promised. harley quinn. Likewise, the precedent she and by nightwing Imp has established it could be a lot of fun in the future. After all, who wouldn’t want to see mischievous versions of Lex Luthor or Darkseid not being left alone? DC’s Grifter Got Hit By A Reindeer #1 is already on sale at DC Comics.
