Although a part of the Multiverse, the Fifth Dimension is not referred by the typical naming of "Earth Number", and is seen as something entirely alien to Earth and Earthen reality as whole. This allows its denizens to alter reality while staying in present in a universe such as Earth Thirty-Eight. The powers that beings native to this dimension hold have been interpreted and labeled as magic. Throughout history, such beings have been known under many names, such as genies, djinn, leprechauns and imps. Before the catastrophe that destroyed the sister planets of Krypton and Daxam, the Daxamites had knowledge of the Fifth Dimensional imps, coming in contact with those creatures.

While, at Mon-El's admission, they knew how to party, the imps were considered too dangerous due to their immense reality-warping capabilities, resulting in a no-tolerance policy for their shenanigans, forcing them to seek weapons to stop the imps' powers, in addition to killing them upon sight and identification.
Somehow, despite Krypton's proximity to Daxam, the former's inhabitants would appear relatively unaware of any contact that happened between Daxamites and imps all the way to their planet's destruction. The denizens of Mars were also implied to have had contact with the Fifth Dimension, as J'onn J'onzz had knowledge of their powers and activities.
A Fifth Dimensional intruder, Mxyzptlk, watched Kara Zor-El of Earth Thirty-Eight for some time, eventually becoming infatuated with her. Appearing on Earth, Mxyzptlk started a disastrous campaign to woo Kara with his reality-altering powers, alternating between surrounding her with adoration and flowers, trying to create a crisis to solve for them together, and trying to fight Mon-El over Kara's heart.
Despite the imp's overwhelming powers, Kara managed to trick him, forcing the imp to spell his name backwards at the threat of her suicide in the inescapable Fortress of Solitude, the choice of free will that the imp could not prevent with his powers. A lover scorned, the mad imp dissipated to his dimension, angry at Kara for rejecting and banishing him.
