Description
Jeremiah Strauss, aka Mr. Nobody, is a shapeshifting character in
several Wild Cards novels created by Walton Simons. In his first
appearance, he became a woman to have sex with his girlfriend and
was "jumped" (swapped) into the body of a woman. A hard-core movie
buff, Strauss loved to transform into film actors, such as Ingrid
Bergman (Wild Cards IX, briefly) and Julie Newmar (Wild Cards:
Marked Cards, very brief albeit interesting). In the latest
(final?) book in the series, "Wild Cards: Black Trump", Strauss
becomes a woman twice. (This is a followup to an entry in the main
short stories section of the list.)
