}}'''The Blue Knight''' was knight-errant of [[King Arthur]]'s era in [[Reality Z-25 31-H]], who derived their invincibility in battle from magical blue armour given to them by [[Merlin#In Reality Z-25 31-H|Merlin]]. The original Blue Knight was '''Sir Dennis of Inde''', whose career in the medieval age ended when he became trapped under a boulder for centuries — his spirit kept alive by the magic of the armour, but unable to leave, while his body withered away to nothing inside the armour. After being freed by [[the Odds]], the half-alive Sir Dennis merged with the body of his last living descendant, [[Chief Inspector Dennis]] of [[Scotland Yard]], to become a fully-revived Blue Knight who became a member of the Odds himself.

[[File:Headless Blue Knight in Encore.png|thumb|right|Sir Dennis realises that he is now incorporeal as [[the Odds]] look on in shock. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Encore (comic story)|Encore]]'')]]Sir Dennis remained under the boulder for centuries, kept magically alive by the armour, but without that preventing his body from wasting away into dust, though he did not realise this. Eventually, in the early 21st century, [[the Odds]], while in the area to deal with [[Insecto]]'s attempted takeover of a city, detected the magical energy emanating from under the rock, and [[Merv the Griffin]] lifted it. In thanks, the Blue Knight pledged his alliance to [[Captain Evening#In Reality Z-25 31-H|Captain Evening]], the leader of the Odds. Taking off his helmet, he realised, much to his dismay, that he had become incorporeal.

Just as [[Chief Inspector Dennis]], of [[Scotland Yard]], arrived on the scene to chide the Odds for disturbing an archeological site without permission, [[Merlin#In Reality Z-25 31-H|Merlin]] materialised out of thin air, having projected himself from the past. He revealed that Chief Inspector Dennis was Sir Dennis of Inde's last surviving descendant and cast a powerful spell, against either Dennis's will, to merge them into a single being, essentially transplanting the Blue Knight's spirit and power into the detective's body. He explained that he had been ordered to do so by destiny itself, and vanished. At a loss about what to do about the strange situation, the Odds decided to call [[Professor Madison]] for help.

([[COMIC]]: ''[[Encore (comic story)|Encore]]'') After Jenny [[shift]]ed the group back to the [[Fortress of Evening]], Madison ran a battery of tests on the Blue Knight and confirmed that what Merlin had done was not reversible. The best she could do would have been to extract the Blue Knight's mind and transplant it into a robot, but the mind in question would still be an amalgam of Sir Dennis and the Inspector, with no way to untangle them. This rather discomfited the Blue Knight, who was uncomfortable with their purely female body.

([[COMIC]]: ''[[Meanwhile, On Earth (comic story)|Meanwhile, On Earth]]'')]]However, putting their duty before their personal issue, the Knight went along with the other Odds when they were alerted to [[Ultimatron]]'s attack of the ceremony where [[Captain Perfect]] was to be given the Keys to the City by [[Mayor Wilson]]. The Knight's sword had little effect on the robot, however, and ultimately it was [[Centennia]] who swooped in to bring down the mechanical menace, discovering that the attack had actually been staged by Perfect himself (who, before the Odds' arrival pushed things off-script, intended to be seen to dramatically defeat Ultimatron on camera). The Blue Knight later attended the huge party Captain Evening threw at the Fortress, surprised at the lightness of the clothing of the guests, much at odds with medieval norms.

([[COMIC]]: ''[[Journey Out Of Misery (comic story)|Journey Out Of Misery]]'')]]As a robot known as the [[Cosmic Solution]] had begun 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, including the Odds. 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, [[Captain Evening#In Reality Z-25 31-H|Captain Evening]] soon answered the call, leading most of [[the Odds]] into battle on his [[Skycycle]] — the team consisting, in this instance, of him, [[Merv the Griffin]], [[Centennia]], [[Armstrong Fatbuckle]] and [[the Blue Knight]]. In the end, however, the Odds' efforts had little to do with the saving of the city as the Solution was persuaded to leave of its own accord without the heroes having managed to lastingly damage it in any way.
