Captain Evening was a major superhero of Reality Z-25 31-H and the leader of the Odds, a team of superbeings. At one point in its history, the team included a shifter claiming to be Jenny Everywhere, but who was in actuality Jenny Nowhere. Other Captains Evening existed in other universes, including a heroic zombie.
Description
Physical appearance
Captain Evening was a muscular white man with a square jaw. He was never seen without his black helmet with an opaque visor, which left only the lower half of his face visible, and whose forehead was adorned with a picture of the Moon. In full superhero regalia, Evening also wore a black form-fitting outfit, lighter-coloured gloves and boots, and a cape. (COMIC: Tales To Behold)
Personality
Captain Evening broadly acted like the epitome of the noble hero. However, he was criticised (even by his own enemies) for his tendency to stand around making grand moralising monologue instead of actually helping with the matter at hand, even if he usually eventually fixed the problem. (COMIC: Tales To Behold) This bad habit aside, he was quick-witted in a crisis, able to quickly assess a situation and strategise, although he was not an especially brilliant tactician. (COMIC: Journey Out Of Misery) He obsessively protected his “secret identity”, never taking off the mask that covered most of his face, even when he was showering. (COMIC: Meanwhile, On Earth)
Powers & abilities
Captain Evening was skilled at physical fighting and at flying his Skycicle. He also allegedly had actual superpowers, although he used them very rarely, (COMIC: Enter–the Legion of Light!) one of them appearing to be increased resilience: he was seen withstanding a direct blast of fire from the Cosmic Solution with no visible injury, although he was left dazed by the experience. He also carried a handheld laser-gun of some description. (COMIC: Journey Out Of Misery) He also demonstrated superhuman strength on some occasions, such as breaking out of a pair of handcuffs through sheer physical strength. (COMIC: Road Trip Of No Return)
Biography
In Reality Z-25 31-H
- See main article: Captain Evening (Reality Z-25 31-H)
The most commonly documented version of Captain Evening was a lovable superhero from Reality Z-25 31-H's New York City. (COMIC: Tales To Behold, etc.)
Zombie Captain Evening
- See main article: Zombie Captain Evening
In one universe where “everyone was a zombie”, Captain Evening was no exception, looking like a dull-witted, undead version of his Reality Z-25 31-H self. In this latter reality, when faced with Merv the Griffin, who was magically compelled to “kill Captain Evening”, “Jenny Everywhere” quickly switched out her Captain Evening for the zombie one. Merv hit him with what would have been a fatal blow, satisfying the magical compulsion and therefore freeing him. She then brought the real Captain Evening back. The zombie Captain Evening then just wandered off and was not actually returned to his homeworld, (COMIC: For Whom The Toll Bells) becoming a minor superhero in his own right.
