 ===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 (comic story)|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]]: ''[[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]]. To deal with the confusing situation, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Encore (comic story)|Encore]]'') the Captain called Madison once again, whereupon she informed him that he had completely missed the adventure she had phoned him about earlier.

-[[File:Cosmic Solution zooshes Captain and Madison.png|thumb|left|The [[Cosmic Solution]] opens fire on [[Robot Madison]] and Captain Evening. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Journey Out Of Misery (comic story)|Journey Out Of Misery]]'')]]After a robot known as the [[Cosmic Solution]] began attacking [[New York City]] (having actually been sent by the [[Cosmic Order]] to carry out the destruction of humanity following [[Armagedda]]'s failure), [[Robot Madison]] summoned as many heroes as she could. Although a small team including [[Mysto the Space-Wizard]], [[Terry Tornado]], [[the Big Bad Wolf#In Reality Z-25 31-H|the Big Bad Wolf]], [[Red Riding Hood#In Reality Z-25 31-H|Red Riding Hood]] and [[the Human Tree]] got there first, the Captain soon answered the call, leading most of [[the Odds]] into battle on his [[Skycycle]] — the team consisting, in this instance, of him, [[Armstrong Fatbuckle]], [[Merv the Griffin]], [[Centennia]] and [[the Blue Knight]].
+[[File:Centennia is recruited into the Odds.png|thumb|left|The Captain speaks with [[Centennia]] in the aftermath of the battle against “[[Ultimatron]]”. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Meanwhile, On Earth (comic story)|Meanwhile, On Earth]]'')]][[Jenny Nowhere#In Reality Z-25 21-H|Jenny]], announcing that she had recovered her powers completely, [[shift]]ed the entire [[The Odds|Odds]] team, now including [[the Blue Knight]], back to the [[Fortress of Evening]] in an instant, with them appearing in [[Professor Madison]] and [[Rodney Rabbit]]'s bedroom. Madison began running tests on the Blue Knight while the other heroes freshened up in the Fortress's shower room. They soon had to leap back into action as Rodney informed them, based on what he was seeing on live television, that the ceremony where [[Captain Perfect]] was to be given the Keys to the City by [[Mayor Wilson]] was under attack by a giant robot called “[[Ultimatron]]”. The Odds rushed to the scene, but only succeeded in distracting Perfect, who was knocked out by the robot. They tried to defeat Ultimatron, but had little luck, with [[Centennia]] soon arriving and dispatching it herself.
+After it transpired that the entire attack had been staged by Captain Perfect as a publicity stunt, he was punched into the distance by Centennia. Impressed, Captain Evening asked Centennia if she would consider joining “the Odds”, and she seemed to agree. To celebrate their victory and Centennia's joining, Captain Evening organised a party at the Fortress, inviting “all his hero friends” — including the Odds, the [[Terrific Two]], [[Glow Girl]], [[Mysto the Space-Wizard]], [[the Big Bad Wolf#In Reality Z-25 31-H|the Big Bad Wolf]], [[Red Riding Hood#In Reality Z-25 31-H|Red Riding Hood]] and [[Terry Tornado]]. Jenny soon drew him away from the heart of the party and the two slept together, though they agreed this was simply a casual bit of fun between friends and they weren't dating.

+==== Fighting the Cosmic Solution ====
+[[File:Cosmic Solution zooshes Captain and Madison.png|thumb|left|The [[Cosmic Solution]] opens fire on [[Robot Madison]] and Captain Evening. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Journey Out Of Misery (comic story)|Journey Out Of Misery]]'')]]After a robot known as the [[Cosmic Solution]] began attacking [[New York City]] (having actually been sent by the [[Cosmic Order]] to carry out the destruction of humanity following [[Armagedda]]'s failure), [[Robot Madison]] summoned as many heroes as she could. Although a small team including [[Mysto the Space-Wizard]], [[Terry Tornado]], [[the Big Bad Wolf#In Reality Z-25 31-H|the Big Bad Wolf]], [[Red Riding Hood#In Reality Z-25 31-H|Red Riding Hood]] and [[the Human Tree]] got there first, the Captain soon answered the call, leading most of [[the Odds]] into battle on his [[Skycycle]] — the team now consisting of him, [[Armstrong Fatbuckle]], [[Merv the Griffin]], [[Centennia]] and [[the Blue Knight]].
 He quickly took charge, ordering Centennia, Merv, the Human Tree, and anyone else noted for physical strength to try and keep the robot contained while he worked out a longer-term solution with Robot Madison. With [[Hank Richards]]'s surprise contribution, they managed to work out a plan to distract the robot and drain power from him, but this progress was all undone when [[the Protectors]] showed up late on the scene and ignored the other heroes' advice, hitting the Robot directly and therefore powering him back up, stronger than ever. The Captain received a direct blast of fire from the robot's now gigantic fingers, as did Robot Madison, and was significantly frazzled by the experience, although not visibly injured. When the Cosmic Solution eventually returned to outer space of its own accord after being called off by yet another [[Agent of the Cosmic Order (Journey Out Of Misery)|agent of the Cosmic Order]], the Captain was barely standing, helped to his feet by Merv.
