However, she did agree to lend a hand should her rather unique, but infrequently useful, superpowers ever prove themselves necessary to a crisis at hand. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Glow Girl!

It turned out, however, that she didn't want him to scold Armstrong about the honest mistake itself, but rather, needed his advice because she had attempted to [[shift]] in her surprise, only to find that she couldn't. The Captain helped her to the guess that it was the effort of banishing Armagedda that had temporarily sapped her powers, and that they would soon return.

[[File:Captain Evening in Battle of Britain.png|thumb|left|275px|Captain Evening confronts one of [[Insecto]]'s [[Insect Person|Insect People]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Battle of Britain (comic story)|Battle of Britain]]'')]]The Odds were called away to [[England]] to deal with a city that was being taken over by [[Insect Person|Insect People]]. With Jenny unable to [[shift]], they travelled by aeroplane, which meant, to the Captain's irritation, that he had to do with his [[Skycycle]], which he couldn't take through customs. On the way, he phoned [[Professor Madison]] to ask her and [[Rodney Rabbit|Rodney]] to house-sit for him while he was gone. Arriving at their destination, they were greeted by [[Chief Inspector Dennis]] of [[Scotland Yard]], who explained that the Insect People were not mindless warriors, and were in fact not breaking the law, but that they mingled with the population and seemed to do their best to be as irritating as possible in non-actionable ways. Their leader was not returning any of the human authorities' attempts to talk. | |||
Though disappointed the adventure wasn't more “epic”, the Captain agreed to lead the Odds up the giant anthill and into the Insects' hive to try and talk things out with them. The Insect guards did their best to be irritating as was par for the course, and when the Odds tried to cut through the labyrinthine waiting line through which the Insects wanted them to go before they met the “manager”, a fight finally broke out. During this fight, Captain Evening received a phone call from Madison, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Battle of Britain (comic story)|Battle of Britain]]'') who wanted his and the Odds' help to besiege the [[Bureau of Singularity]]'s headquarters at the [[Nexus of Realities]]. The Captain told her that he and the Odds were otherwise engaged at the moment, but that she could engage his computer's Omega Program to summon some of his other superhuman allies to her aid with his blessing. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Singularity War (comic story)|Singularity War]]'', ''[[Battle of Britain (comic story)|Battle of Britain]]'') | |||
Finally making their way to the “manager”'s office, the Odds confronted the leader of the Insect People, [[Insecto]]. Playing to his ego, [[Jenny Nowhere#In Reality Z-25 31-H|Jenny]] managed to convince him to do away with his scheme to irritate the humans into leaving town out of sheer aggravation, and instead stand for mayor openly in a democratic election. He was defeated in a landslide, in large part because the Insect People didn't have the right to vote. The Captain found this resolution anticlimactic, and was easily convinced by [[Merv the Griffin]] to stay in England for a little while yet, particularly after Madison phoned him again to assure him that the situation she'd been dealing with was now under control.

([[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]].
