 Following his death in a car accident, he proved too infuriating for even [[the Devil#In Reality Z-25 31-H|the Devil]] to deal with and he was banished back from [[Hell#In Reality Z-25 31-H|Hell]] to the land of the living in the form of a talking, walking skeleton some nicknamed “'''Boney'''”. The resurrected Armstrong continued to enjoy a life of wild partying and, indeed, ended up mellowing down to an extent and joining [[the Odds]]. During this superheroic career, he was sometimes referred to as '''the Living Skeleton'''.

In Armstrong's case, this allow him to party wildly and merrily with the [[Valkyrie]]s [[Gertrud]] and [[Brunhilda]]. He then returned home on the same plane with the other Odds, save for Jenny and Centennia, who decided to stick around on Kokotomo.

+The Odds, now reduced to the Captain, Armstrong, Merv and the Blue Knight, finally went on the low-key road-trip in the American countryside that Armstrong had initially suggested, trying to forget their troubles and simply enjoy life, camping out in the countryside at night. Eventually, however, during one particular pit-stop near a creek, they ran into trouble as a duo of corrupt, drug-trafficking policemen knocked out Armstrong, Merv and the Knight with tranquiliser darts and took them prisoners, afraid that the heroes would meddle in their trafficking.

([[COMIC]]: ''[[Road Trip Of No Return (comic story)|Road Trip Of No Return]]'')]]They missed the Captain, however, who had gotten knocked out as part of an unrelated accident while away from the group; teaming up with [[Jung-La|a young, naïve and surprisingly athletic Sheriff]], who knew nothing of her subordinates' corruption, he found the drug-dealers' lair and helped his friends break out, after which they easily overpowered the villains — while their leader [[Druggo]] had previously claimed to have superpowers, it turned out that he was simply delusional. The Odds then went for a midnight swim in the creek with the Sheriff, who needed some time to relax and rethink things. As he advised her on how to deal with this betrayal, the Captain realised that he needed to take his own advice to her to ultimately “just keep going”, and decreed that the Odds should return to New York as there was “work to be done”.
