In Reality Z-25 31-H, the Odds were a team of superheroes gathered around Captain Evening. While posing as Jenny Everywhere, a version of Jenny Nowhere was, surprisingly enough, a founding member of the team.
History
Formation
After rescuing her from Doctor Brain, Captain Evening invited interdimensional traveller “Jenny Everywhere” (actually Jenny Nowhere) to stay at the Fortress of Evening for as long as it took for her shifting powers to regenerate. (COMIC: Tales To Behold) She ended up staying even after that. (COMIC: Redistribution) He extended the same offer to the griffin Merv, whom he freed from a magical compulsion bplaced on him by Doctor Brain, this time so that Merv would have a place to stay, and allies, as he sought his revenge on Doctor Brain specifically. (COMIC: For Whom The Toll Bells) Completing the original line-up was Armstrong Fatbuckle, an unkillable undead skeleton, whom the Captain, Merv and Jenny encountered while foiling the Legion of Light. (COMIC: Enter–the Legion of Light!)
All of this occurred within a few weeks of Jenny's arrival in Reality Z-25 31-H, but by the end of that period, Captain Evening's team, now referred to as “the Odds”, was becoming known to the authorities, who bade them to look into the “reverse robberies” plaguing the city. (COMIC: Redistribution) Shortly after this incident, they were even called to England by Scotland Yard to deal with an “odd” situation, the invasion of a city by irritating but non-violent Insect People. (COMIC: Battle of Britain) Extending their stay in England, they were joined by a new member, the Blue Knight. (COMIC: Encore)
Against the Cosmic Solution
When Robot Madison summoned as many superheroes as she could to New York City to stop the Cosmic Solution robot, “Captain Evening and the Odds” were the second group to arrive. In this instance, the group included the Captain, Merv the Griffin, Armstrong Fatbuckle, the Blue Knight, and, unusually, Centennia, who more often acted by herself. With the help of Madison, the other heroes already on the scene, reforming mad scientist Hank Richards, and even Glow Girl, (COMIC: Journey Out Of Misery) a retired hero who had previously declined to join the team on a regular basis, (COMIC: Glow Girl!) the Odds were able to begin draining power from the robot and cause it to shrink. However, much of their progress was undone by a more experienced team, the Protectors, who barged in and refused to listen to their observations, attacking the robot head-on and consequently feeding it enough power to grow to gigantic size again. They then bore witness to the destruction of the entire Protectors team by the Solution. In the end, the Solution agreed to leave the Earth of its own accord after being called off by another agent of the Cosmic Order. (COMIC: Journey Out Of Misery)
