[[File:Merv the Griffin in Encore.png|thumb|left|Merv the Griffin using [[Professor Madison's device]]. ([[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 Sir Dennis of Inde, [[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”. After they discovered that, over the centuries, the Blue Knight had degenerated into an incorporeal spirit animating a hollow armour, [[Merlin#In Reality Z-25 31-H|Merlin]] appeared out of nowhere and transferred the Blue Knight's spirit into the body of his [[Chief Inspector Dennis|last descendant]].

[[File:Merv the Griffin in Meanwhile, On Earth.png|thumb|right|Merv the Griffin at [[Captain Evening#In Reality Z-25 31-H|Captain Evening]]'s party. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Meanwhile, On Earth (comic story)|Meanwhile, On Earth]]'')]][[Jenny Nowhere#In Reality Z-25 21-H|Jenny]], announcing that she had recovered her powers completely, [[shift]]ed the entire [[The Odds|Odds]] team, now including [[the Blue Knight]], back to the [[Fortress of Evening]] in an instant, with them appearing in [[Professor Madison]] and [[Rodney Rabbit]]'s bedroom. Madison began running tests on the Blue Knight while the other heroes freshened up in the Fortress's shower room. They soon had to leap back into action as Rodney informed them, based on what he was seeing on live television, that the ceremony where [[Captain Perfect]] was to be given the Keys to the City by [[Mayor Wilson]] was under attack by a giant robot called “[[Ultimatron]]”. The Odds rushed to the scene, but only succeeded in distracting Perfect, who was knocked out by the robot. They tried to defeat Ultimatron, but had little luck, with [[Centennia]] soon arriving and dispatching it herself. | |||
After it transpired that the entire attack had been staged by Captain Perfect as a publicity stunt, he was punched into the distance by Centennia. Impressed, Captain Evening asked Centennia if she would consider joining “the Odds”, and she seemed to agree. To celebrate their victory and Centennia's joining, Captain Evening organised a party at the Fortress, inviting “all his hero friends” — including the Odds, the [[Terrific Two]], [[Glow Girl]], [[Mysto the Space-Wizard]], [[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 [[Terry Tornado]]. Among other things, the Captain grilled some steak on the roof, with Merv asking that his be cooked “very rare”. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Meanwhile, On Earth (comic story)|Meanwhile, On Earth]]'') | |||

([[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, [[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, [[Armstrong Fatbuckle]], [[Centennia]], [[the Blue Knight]], and Merv. | ||
As soon as he arrived, he ordered 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 scheme to distract the robot and drain power from him. It went off according to plan, although this had little bearing on how the threat was ultimately resolved, but as it wrestled itself free of the pile-on of heroes just before Evening connected it to Richards's device, the Solution punched Merv to the ground. He was only seen starting to get up, also helping the Captain up, just as the Solution finally left Earth after being called off by a different [[agent of the Cosmic Order (Journey Out Of Misery)|agent of the Cosmic Order]].
