To achieve this, she created large amounts of money out of thin air and, hiding out in the sewers of [[New York City]], hired masked henchmen to “reverse-rob” banks, forcing them to add this money to their vaults and registers, thus flooding the economy. | [[File:Armagedda in her true form in Redistribution.png|thumb|right|235px|Armagedda holds court in the sewers of [[New York City|New York]].

Although hardly world-ending, these puzzling occurrences caught the attention of the New York Police who, unable to crack the case, asked [[the Odds]] for help. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Redistribution (comic story)|Redistribution]]'') [[Professor Madison]] and [[Rodney Rabbit]] were unavailable to help, as they were away at a summit of scientific geniuses.

([[COMIC]]: ''[[Battle of Britain (comic story)|Battle of Britain]]'') [[Jenny Nowhere (Reality Z-25 31-H)|Jenny Nowhere]] was able to use [[Professor Madison's device]] to detect cosmic particle residue at one of the banks and follow it to the sewers through [[shift]]ing. There, the Odds overheard Armagedda monologuing to her henchmen about her plans. [[Captain Evening (Reality Z-25 31-H)|Captain Evening]] ordered an ill-advised charge which saw Armagedda easily incapacitate him, [[Merv the Griffin]] and [[Armstrong Fatbuckle]]. However, when she asked the “Earthlings” what they hoped to achieve, given that the destruction of the Earth was fated and inevitable, Armstrong improvised an answer claiming that they wished to survive long enough to pass what he called humanity's greatest cultural achievement: the “all-American date”.

([[COMIC]]: ''[[Redistribution (comic story)|Redistribution]]'')]]Armagedda was reluctantly convinced to accompany Armstrong on a date so as to “preserve” it, taking human form for this purpose. This took the better part of the evening; she was unenthused by most of it, although she seemed to mildly enjoy going back to Armstrong's place and what they did there. Returning to her sewer lair, however, she was punched by Merv the Griffin while still in human form; before she could turn back to her true form, Jenny used the [[Magic Sword of the Legion of Light]] to channel her [[shift]]ing powers and banish her to [[Universe (Redistribution)|another randomly-selected universe]]. There, she found, to her dismay, that she could no longer use her powers and thus couldn't shed her human form; to compound matters, this was not a universe where [[Homo Sapiens|humans]] were the dominant species, instead existing only as non-sentient cattle by anthropomorphic bovines.

([[COMIC]]: ''[[Armagedda (Reprise) (comic story)|Armagedda (Reprise)]]'')]]Persistently treated as a farm animal, Armagedda resigned herself to her fate, caring little for her own welfare (though her fall from grace did wound what pride she had) but worrying about how the [[Cosmic Order]] would be maintained without her help. Eventually, she was visited by a mysterious hooded rider calling herself “[[Jenny Nowhere (Reality Z-25 31-H)|Evil Cloak]]”, who offered to restore her to her full glory if she pledged herself to Evil Cloak's service. Armagedda defiantly refused, and Evil Cloak rode off promising to come back soon enough to see if Armagedda changed her mind after thinking on her proposition.

([[COMIC]]: ''[[Meanwhile, In Queens (comic story)|Meanwhile, In Queens]]'')]]Eventually, Armagedda accepted [[Evil Cloak]]'s offer and was returned to [[Reality Z-25 31-H]] with her powers restored. Indeed, she proved essential to Evil Cloak's masterplan, serving as the bait to lure [[the Odds]] to their doom. She tracked down [[Armstrong Fatbuckle]] and claimed to him that she had reformed and wanted to go on another date with him purely for the fun of it. After a pleasant evening, she took him back to “her place”, a building in Queens that was really the home base of all the allied villains gathered by Evil Cloak. When Armstrong, gnawed by doubt, admitted to the other Odds that Armagedda was back, he led the Odds to the building, where the assembled villains were lying in wait. | ||
When Evil Cloak, after revealing herself as [[Jenny Nowhere | When Evil Cloak, after revealing herself as [[Jenny Nowhere (Reality Z-25 31-H)|Jenny Nowhere]], ordered her villains to attack the Odds, Armstrong prepared to fight Armagedda, but was surprised to find that she wasn't attacking. She explained that she did not, of course, actually love him, but was simply prevented from harming Earthlings by her earlier vow not to “pulverise the Earth or its inhabitants”. She had no further involvement in the night's events, and, after Jenny Nowhere was killed by [[Gazoom]], left with the other villains as they and the heroes agreed to call it a day with no more fighting.
