John-A-Dreams

John-A-Dreams was an Invisibles operative in King Mob's cell.

He was working with King Mob in Philadelphia to track down the Hand of Glory, when they saw a "fracture". King Mob was a "gibbering idiot for a month", and John was taken through the fracture and presumed dead.

Dane McGowan was recruited to replace him.

The name John’s Dreams refers to someone who spend all their time daydreaming. It originates in the 17th century and the first recorded use was in William Shakespeare’s Hamlet.

“Like John-a-dreams, unpregnant of my cause”    —Hamlet
