The Blue Knight was knight-errant of King Arthur's era in Reality Z-25 31-H, who derived their invincibility in battle from magical blue armour given to them by Merlin. The original Blue Knight was Sir Dennis of Inde, whose career in the medieval age ended when he became trapped under a boulder for centuries — his spirit kept alive by the magic of the armour, but unable to leave, while his body withered away to nothing inside the armour. After being freed by the Odds, the half-alive Sir Dennis merged with the body of his last living descendant, Chief Inspector Dennis of Scotland Yard, to become a fully-revived Blue Knight who became a member of the Odds himself.

As Sir Dennis of Inde

Living in King Arthur's England, (COMIC: Defying the Dragon) Sir Dennis of Inde (COMIC: Encore) became the Blue Knight when they were gifted their enchanted blue armour by the “legendary” wizard Merlin. (COMIC: Defying the Dragon) At some point prior to becoming trapped under a boulder, he fathered at least one offspring, founding a line of descendants stretching into the 21st century.

However, he had not realised that the Princess was actually in love with the Dragon and had eloped with him. Climbing up a nearby cliff, the Princess rolled a boulder off the edge; dropping down onto the Knight, it pinned him in place, even if his magic armour prevented him from being killed.

Resurrection

Headless Blue Knight in Encore.png

Sir Dennis remained under the boulder for centuries, kept magically alive by the armour, but without that preventing his body from wasting away into dust, though he did not realise this. Eventually, in the early 21st century, the Odds, while in the area to deal with Insecto's attempted takeover of a city, detected the magical energy emanating from under the rock, and Merv the Griffin lifted it. In thanks, the Blue Knight pledged his alliance to Captain Evening, the leader of the Odds. Taking off his helmet, he realised, much to his dismay, that he had become incorporeal.

Just as Chief Inspector Dennis, of Scotland Yard, arrived on the scene to chide the Odds for disturbing an archeological site without permission, Merlin materialised out of thin air, having projected himself from the past. He revealed that Chief Inspector Dennis was Sir Dennis of Inde's last surviving descendant and cast a powerful spell, against either Dennis's will, to merge them into a single being, essentially transplanting the Blue Knight's spirit and power into the detective's body. He explained that he had been ordered to do so by destiny itself, and vanished. At a loss about what to do about the strange situation, the Odds decided to call Professor Madison for help.
