Captain Evening was a muscular white man with a square jaw. He was never seen without his black helmet with an opaque visor, which left only the lower half of his face visible, and whose forehead was adorned with a picture of the Moon. In full superhero regalia, Evening also wore a black form-fitting outfit, lighter-coloured gloves and boots, and a cape.

Captain Evening broadly acted like the epitome of the noble hero. However, he was criticised (even by his own enemies) for his tendency to stand around making grand moralising monologue instead of actually helping with the matter at hand, even if he usually ''eventually'' fixed the problem.

([[COMIC]]: ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Tales To Behold (comic story)|Tales To Behold]]'')]]Long after his enmity with the mad scientist [[Doctor Brain]] was well-established, Captain Evening was patrolling the skies of his home city at night when his attention was attracted by chaos seemingly coming from an abandoned building. It turned out to have been used by Doctor Brain as the location of [[Doctor Brain's Portal|an interdimensional portal]], from which Doctor Brain had summoned [[The Monstrosity|a monstrosity]] which he couldn't defeat. Evening managed to prevent the entity from crossing over from its home dimension by removing the Portal's power source, which was none other than a woman, who introduced herself as [[Jenny Nowhere#In Reality Z-25 31-H|Jenny]].

After [[Professor Madison]] visited, she granted the Captain the use of a [[Professor Madison's device|new device]] she'd built which allowed one to detect the opening of transdimensional portals. Rushing to the site where one had been detected, the Captain and friends did not run into Doctor Brain, but rather into a battle between a group of strippers helped by [[Armstrong Fatbuckle|a living skeleton]] on one side, and the [[Legion of Light]] and the [[demon]] [[Red Vicious]] on the other. Though the strippers already had things mostly under control, the Captain helped finish to tie the villains up, and lectured them on their bigoted, self-righteous ways. He then took the disassembled Armstrong Fatbuckle back to his base where he and his friends helped put him back together, after which he offered him the chance to join the team (an offer Armstrong gladly accepted).

([[COMIC]]: ''[[Redistribution (comic story)|Redistribution]]'')]]The unlikely grouping of the Captain, [[Jenny Nowhere#In Reality Z-25 31-H|Jenny]], [[Armstrong Fatbuckle|Armstrong]] and [[Merv the Griffin]] became known as the superhero team of “[[the Odds]]”. Within a few weeks of its formation, the Odds were summoned by the New York Chief of Police, who was desperate to solve the mystery of the “reverse robberies” which had been popping up all across the city. The Odds agreed to help and discovered that the culprit was [[Armagedda]], who was hiding out in the sewers and had plans to bring down human civilisations. The Captain ordered an ill-advised charge on Armagedda and a henchmen; he, Merv and Armstrong were easily captured, but Armstrong managed to distract Armagedda while the still-free Jenny worked out a way to exploit Armagedda's weakness to magic (after Armstrong tricked her into taking human form, Jenny [[shift]]ed her to [[Universe (Redistribution)|another universe]] using the [[Magic Sword of the Legion of Light]]).

[[File:The Blue Knight bows to Captain Evening.png|thumb|right|210px|To his and the Odds' bafflement, [[the Blue Knight]] kneels before Captain Evening. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Encore (comic story)|Encore]]'')]]Using [[Professor Madison's device]], Merv was able to pinpoint its location to under an ancient monolith, which he lifted. Underneath, they found the remains of [[the Blue Knight]], an [[King Arthur|Arthurian]] knight made immortal by his magical armour, who had been trapped under the boulder for centuries, magically kept alive. In thanks for their freeing him, the Blue Knight quickly pledged his services to the Odds, bowing to Captain Evening as his new “liege”.

===Fighting the Cosmic Solution=== | |||
[[File:Cosmic Solution zooshes Captain and Madison.png|thumb|left|The [[Cosmic Solution]] opens fire on [[Robot Madison]] and Captain Evening. ([[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 consisting, in this instance, of him, [[Armstrong Fatbuckle]], [[Merv the Griffin]], [[Centennia]] and [[the Blue Knight]]. | |||
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.
