([[COMIC]]: ''[[Road Trip Of No Return (comic story)|Road Trip Of No Return]]'')]]They missed the Captain, however, who had gotten knocked out as part of an unrelated accident while away from the group; teaming up with [[Jung-La|a young, naïve and surprisingly athletic Sheriff]], who knew nothing of her subordinates' corruption, he found the drug-dealers' lair and helped his friends break out, after which they easily overpowered the villains — while their leader [[Druggo]] had previously claimed to have superpowers, he turned out to be delusional. The Odds then went for a midnight swim in the creek with the Sheriff, who needed some time to relax and rethink things. As he advised her on how to deal with this betrayal, the Captain realised that he needed to take his own advice to her to ultimately “just keep going”, and decreed that the Odds should return to New York as there was “work to be done”.

==== Against the Shadow Queen ==== | |||
[[File:Captain Evening and Shadow-Captain-Evening in Chasing Shadows.png|thumb|right|215px|Captain Evening waves goodbye to [[Shadow-Captain-Evening|his shadow self]] as the latter returns to being a simple shadow. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Chasing Shadows (comic story)|Chasing Shadows]]'')]]When [[the Shadow Queen]] attacked [[New York City#In Reality Z-25 31-H|New York City]], [[the Odds]] — the Captain, [[Armstrong Fatbuckle]], [[Merv the Griffin]] and [[the Blue Knight]] — responded almost immediately. Despite their speed, they did not fare well in their first battle against the Queen's shadow-warriors, who were intangible when they tried to punch them, but very much capable of dealing damage to flesh-and-blood opponents. Only the setting of the sun brought an end to the fight, forcing the Queen to retreat lest her shadows dissolve into the darkness of the night. However, the Captain managed to hurl a tracking device at her. | |||
In the middle of the night, the Odds followed the tracking device to the Queen's house, where they distracted her by cutting off her electricity. In the confusion, they stole her [[Shadow-Ray]] and, getting [[Professor Madison]] to walk them through it over video-phone, reprogrammed it to create shadow-beings loyal to ''them'' rather than the Queen. When they attacked the Queen and her shadows openly, it was with the help of [[the Shadow Odds]], living versions of their own shadows (including a [[Shadow-Captain-Evening]], who handily beat the Queen's warriors. After she surrendered and was taken into custody, the Captain was interviewed by [[Amanda Allen]], explaining how they'd beaten the Queen. At Armstrong's possession, the Odds then took possession of the Queen's [[Flying Platform]], which they used to chase down remaining evil shadows, returning them to normal using the [[Reverse-Shadow-Ray]].

([[COMIC]]: ''[[For Whom The Toll Bells (comic story)|For Whom The Toll Bells]]'')]]In [[Universe (For Whom The Toll Bells)|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 Nowhere#In Reality Z-25 31-H|“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. Notably, the zombie Captain Evening then just wandered off and was not actually returned to his homeworld. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[For Whom The Toll Bells (comic story)|For Whom The Toll Bells]]'') | ||

([[COMIC]]: ''[[Interview With A Superhero (comic story)|Interview With A Superhero]]'')]]Still having heroic instincts like the living version of the Captain in spite of everything, the zombie Captain thus proceeded to try to fight crime and be generally heroic in the living [[New York City]]. After he stopped an armed robbery in the East Village, he was reported upon by the ''[[Hero Hour]]'' TV program, who described him as a “strange doppelganger” of the one who was to them the [[#In Reality Z-25 31-H|“real” Captain Evening]].
