At the dawn of time, twin entities were spawned that were anomalies to their surroundings.
Neverwas could be described as a gigantic ameoba like entity, with a rudimentary intellect and a inherantly peaceful nature. However, due to its solitary nature and seemingly vulnerable state of being, it always attracted the attention of predatory creatures in the prehistoric era it lived in. Manifesting an ability to open a portal in time, Neverwas thrusts itself into the 20th century, where is attacks a metropolitan area and attracts the attention of first Hawkman and then his Justice League of America allies, who seek to subdue it.
The doppelgänger of Neverwas also resided in a distant era of time when it was thrust into the 20th century due to its unusual connected with a female pirate named Nifty. The henchwoman of criminal mastermind Redbeard, Nifty attempted to steal the secrets of atomic energy from the mind of Holliday College Professor Chemico. This attracts the attention of Justice Society of America member Wonder Woman and her allies in the Holliday Girls, who attempt to oppose Nifty, Redbeard and the other pirates whAfter Hawkman’a initial confrontation with the chronological l creature and becoming overwhelmed, Superman next attempted to intercept Neverwas and was thrown with a building full of people to a prehistoric period of time under a red sun which de-powered the Man of Steel. Aquaman encounters Neverwas-Two, the replicated form of the original, and is likewise overpowered. After Superman returns to the present day to join his fellow Justice Leaguers Batman, Green Arrow, Green Lantern, Hawkman and Aquaman for a final fight with their fearsome foe. Neverwas and his clones are merged back into one being and returned to its native time.
While her Justice Society teammates were busy fending off an invasion of Metal Men of Jupiter, Wonder Woman and the Holliday Girls pursued Nifty and her cronies back to the 18th century. Following a clash on the high seas with pirates of that period, the heroines and their amoral adversaries were pulled further back in time to the era of Imperial Rome. There the Amazing Amazon first encountered the immortal villain Vandal Savage, a future foe of her Justice Society teaammates Green Lantern and the Flash, while he was using the assumed identity of Julius Caesar to found an empire in ancient Italy. Following this encounter, Wonder Woman and her sororiety sidekicks subdued Redbeard and his pirates, along with severing the chronological creature’s connection with Nifty. Why this thing of time was mentally bonded to Nifty is unknown, although it was fiercer than Neverwas in its disposition.This experience motivated Nifty to intensify her criminal career, and under her new alias Jolly Roger have recurring clashes with aviator hero Hop Harrigan in the years that followed. Although her counterpart Lisa "Golden Glider" Snart never tried time travel, her enemy the Flash of the Justice League did traverse time on multiple occasions. And, in fact, both the League-Flash and the Society-Flash together pierced the time barrier when manipulated by a Vandal Savage of the 20th century, now aged and seeking to access time stream to expose himself once more to the age-extending meteor that mutated him centuries earlier. Thankfully, the two Flashes avoided encountering Wonder Woman's time-traveling tormentor, as that monster was shunted into a past millennia far removed from the present day.
Perhaps, like its counterpart Neverwas who was gifted a massive toy by Superman to preoccupy it and cause it to remain in the past, that eerie entity found something entice about its era that kept it there for the rest of eternity. Or perhaps, both beings are taking their… time… to reappear and terrify mankind once more! They would be ready-made pawns for the temporal tyrants known as the Lord of Time and the Light of Earths One and Two to utilize in their campaigns against their foes in the Justice League and Justice Society, along with individual members whom they've faced among both team's membership rolls. In fact, maybe they were these beings prime instigators behind the scenes when the appeared? The chrnonological chaos unleashed from Neverwas and its counterpart can truly bend all reality to the will of these bearded baddies.
