=== Against the Shadow Queen === | |||
[[File:Merv the Griffin in Chasing Shadows.png|thumb|left|275px|Even Merv struggled during the Odds' initial battle with [[the Shadow Queen]]'s armies. ([[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]] — including Merv, [[Captain Evening#In Reality Z-25 31-H|the Captain]], [[Armstrong Fatbuckle]] 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-Merv]] whom the Blue Knight found particularly scary). They handily beat the Queen's warriors, with Merv and the Shadow-Merv teaming up to prevent the Queen from escaping aboard her [[Flying Platform]]. 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 suggestion, 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]].
