}}'''Merv the Griffin''' was a bipedal, anthropomorphic [[griffin]] from the [[Sixth Realm]]. He was summoned to [[Reality Z-25 31-H]] by [[Doctor Brain]] and magically compelled to seek out and destroy [[Captain Evening#In Reality Z-25 31-H|Captain Evening]]. After being freed from his magical binding by the Captain and [[Jenny Nowhere#In Reality Z-25 31-H|Jenny Nowhere]] (then posing as [[Jenny Everywhere#In Reality Z-25 31-H|Jenny Everywhere]]), Merv remained in this new universe in order to get his revenge on Doctor Brain and [[Jesse Brain|the Wicked Witch]], and ended up joining Captain Evening's [[The Odds|superhero team]]. | }}'''Merv the Griffin''', also known as simply '''Griffin''', was a bipedal, anthropomorphic [[griffin]] from the [[Sixth Realm]].

[[File:Merv the Griffin in Battle of Britain.png|thumb|right|250px|Merv punches an [[Insect Person]] sentinel. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Battle of Britain (comic story)|Battle of Britain]]'')]]Merv accompanied the other [[The Odds|Odds]] to [[England]] when they were called by [[Chief Inspector Dennis]] of [[Scotland Yard|the Yard]] to help deal with the matter of a city which was being taken over by [[Insect Person|Insect People]]. It turned out that the Insect People were not taking it over militarily, just showing up all over the city and behaving in unpleasant but not violent or illegal ways. As the only Odd who could currently fly, he carried [[Armstrong Fatbuckle|Armstrong]] and [[Jenny Nowhere#In Reality Z-25 31-H|Jenny]] up the giant anthill to enter the Insects' hive; he offered his assistance to [[Captain Evening#In Reality Z-25 31-H|the Captain]], who'd been forced to leave his [[Skycycle]] behind, but the superhero was too proud to accept it. | [[File:Merv the Griffin in Battle of Britain.png|thumb|right|250px|Merv punches an [[Insect Person]] sentinel.

In the end, a fight still broke out after the Odds entered the Insect People's giant anthill to speak with their [[Insecto|their leader]], when they refused to abide by the labyrinthine waiting line the Insect People insisted they go through, during which Merv fought very successfully. They managed to gain entry into the office of the Insect Peoples' leader [[Insecto]] and convince him to abandon his plan to get the humans to vacate the city by annoying them relentlessly. After this anticlimactic resolution, Merv suggested they stay in England a while longer | In the end, a fight still broke out after the Odds entered the Insect People's giant anthill to speak with their [[Insecto|their leader]], when they refused to abide by the labyrinthine waiting line the Insect People insisted they go through, during which Merv fought very successfully.

[[File:Merv the Griffin in Encore.png|thumb|left|Merv the Griffin using [[Professor Madison's device]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Encore (comic story)|Encore]]'')]]Using [[Professor Madison's device]], Merv was able to pinpoint its location to under an ancient monolith, which he lifted. Underneath, they found the remains of [[the Blue Knight]], an [[King Arthur|Arthurian]] knight made immortal by his magical armour, who had been trapped under the boulder for centuries, magically kept alive. In thanks for their freeing him, the Blue Knight quickly pledged his services to the Odds, bowing to Captain Evening as his new “liege”. After they discovered that, over the centuries, the Blue Knight had degenerated into an incorporeal spirit animating a hollow armour, [[Merlin#In Reality Z-25 31-H|Merlin]] appeared out of nowhere and transferred the Blue Knight's spirit into the body of his [[Chief Inspector Dennis|last descendant]].
