Vext is a god from the Jejune Realm (also known as the Borough of Mawkish Indifference) in the Pan-Dimensional Pantheons. He is the "patron deity of mishap and misfortune" and true to that appellation, his world was phased out of existence because he and the realm's deities were no longer actively worshipped. From childhood, Vext has been beset by misfortune, accidentally causing the fall of man and the sinking of the RMS Titanic.

After the Jejune Realm is destroyed, it takes 23 years for its gods to be processed. Vext is evicted to a random realm, which turns out to be Earth. He is given sufficient funds to start a new life and not much training. He is told he cannot interfere with the course of human affairs, try to take over Earth, or become a superhero.

Vext rents an apartment in Delta City, which is also the home of a hero known as the Heckler. Vext's next-door neighbor is aspiring writer Colleen McBride, who does her best to help Vext adjust to his life on Earth, not knowing that he is a god.
