Immediately after his resurrection, Armstrong Fatbuckle attempted to simply resume his old life of wild partying. He had one wild soirée, until he discovered the trick the vengeful Devil had played on him: finding himself alone with the woman he'd flirted with, he realised that as a skeleton, he utterly lacked the physical means to make love to her, at least in a way he would enjoy. However, his despair was short-lived, as he quickly decided that he still could party and dance away a night, and that, anyway, this fate still beat being damned by far.

Armed with this new heroic resolve, he constituted himself the ally and protector of the group of strippers he had been partying with. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Enter–the Legion of Light!

=== Facing the Legion of Light === | |||
Armstrong's first opportunity to do good did not take long to arise as the night-club was attacked by the self-righteous, bigoted [[Legion of Light]], latter-day knights in armour who held a [[Magic Sword of the Legion of Light|Magic Sword]]. Believing Armstrong to be a [[demon]] when he leapt to the girls' defence, the Legion used their sword to summon “another” demon, [[Red Vicious]], to fight Armstrong. Although initially managing to use his ability to keep moving detached limbs to his advantage, Armstrong was overwhelmed by the red demon, only for the thankful strippers to help him fight him off. [[Captain Evening#In Reality Z-25 31-H|Captain Evening]], [[Jenny Nowhere#In Reality Z-25 31-H|“Jenny Everywhere”]], [[Merv the Griffin]], [[Professor Madison]] and [[Rodney Rabbit]] then crashed the now-largely-figurative party and helped finish routing the Legion and apprehending its members. Once it was clarified that despite his foreboding appearance, “Boney” had been on the right side of this fight, Evening and his friends took him back to the Captain's home, where they painstakingly reassmebled Armstrong's skeleton. They then offered him the opportunity to join the [[The Odds|growing superhero team]] coalescing around the Captain. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Enter–the Legion of Light!
