 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.

([[COMIC]]: ''[[Meanwhile, In Queens (comic story)|Meanwhile, In Queens]]'')]]Shortly after Evening announced to the other Odds that he had been secretly filming them within the Fortress of Evening, [[Armstrong Fatbuckle|Armstrong]] made a confession of his own: that [[Armagedda]] was back in New York and he'd gone on another date with her. The heroes quickly headed to the building which Armagedda had presented as her home to Armstrong. This soon turned out to have been a ruse, as Armagedda had joined up with [[Doctor Brain]], [[Captain Perfect]], [[Jesse Brain]], [[Insecto]] and [[Red Vicious]] as part of an alliance of the Odds' enemies, organised by [[Evil Cloak]]. To the Captain's bafflement, “Evil Cloak” took off her hood to reveal she was one and the same as the “Jenny Everywhere” he'd been adventuring with, and that she was really the villainous [[Jenny Nowhere#In Reality Z-25 31-H|Jenny Nowhere]].
+Without giving him time to process, Jenny ordered the villains to attack the Odds, with Evening doing his best to strategise for his team while fighting off Doctor Brain bare-handed, all despite still reeling from the betrayal. Soon after, Nowhere, frustrated with the way the battle was going, used [[Doctor Brain's Portal]] to summon the demonic entity [[Gazoom]] — and instead of obeying her commands, Gazoom ate her without a second thought then went back the way he came. The heroes and villains agreed to call it a tie and cease fighting for the day, each group going its separate way, though Evening warned Doctor Brain that he wouldn't forget what Brain had helped do on this day.

 ==== Fighting the Cosmic Solution ====

([[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]].

([[COMIC]]: ''[[Journey Out Of Misery (comic story)|Journey Out Of Misery]]'')]]Back at the [[Fortress of Evening]], the Captain and the Odds prepared to part ways, as [[Centennia]] had decided that she didn't feel up to being part of a team full-time after all, and Armstrong intended to take [[Merv the Griffin]] and [[the Blue Knight]] on a road trip to show them the sights of modern-day Earth. However, as they were about to toast to the good times they had, they received a call for help from [[Mayor Wilson|the Mayor]], ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Meanwhile, In Queens (comic story)|Meanwhile, In Queens]]'') as a robot known as the [[Cosmic Solution]] had begun attacking [[New York City]] (having actually been sent by the [[Cosmic Order]] to carry out the destruction of humanity following [[Armagedda]]'s failure) Although a small team summoned by [[Robot Madison]], comprising [[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 the remaining Odds into battle on his [[Skycycle]].
 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.
