Competent and unflappable, she derived her super-strenght, flight, and apparent immortality from her half-alien heritage, and was considered [[New York City]]'s greatest protectors against supervillainous threats. Though a solo hero for most of her career, at one point in the early 21st century, she joined [[the Odds]], at a point where [[Jenny Nowhere#In Reality Z-25 31-H|Jenny]] was also a member (although the overlap in their memberships was short). | ||

After intimate images of them in bed together were leaked, there was a scandal, although one from which both's reputations were able to recover in time.

[[File:Full-body Centennia in Meanwhile, On Earth.png|thumb|left|Centennia interrogates the pilots of “[[Ultimatron]]”. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Meanwhile, On Earth (comic story)|Meanwhile, On Earth]]'')]]A different superheroic Captain, [[Captain Evening#In Reality Z-25 31-H|Captain Evening]], attempted to reach her around the same time to get her to accompany [[the Odds]] on a mission to [[England]] to halt [[Insecto]]'s attempted invasion of a town, but he didn't manage to get in touch with her. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Battle of Britain (comic story)|Battle of Britain]]'') Centennia was not present at the ceremony where Captain Perfect was to be given the Keys to the City by [[Mayor Wilson|the Mayor]] as part of his public come-back. However, after a robot called [[Ultimatron]] attacked and knocking out Captain Perfect — with [[the Odds]], despite their best efforts, proving unable to defeat it —, Centennia flew out of the sky and down at the robot like a missile, destroying it in a single stroke. She then got the three henchfolk piloting it from inside to confess who they were working for. | |||
To her surprise, it was actually Captain Perfect himself, with the entire attack staged with the intent of providing the Captain with an easy, live-televised win. The Odds' unexpected interference had thrown events off-script, leading to Ultimatron quite accidentally knocking out the purported star of the show. With her sense of betrayal compounded by Perfect weakly attempting to convince her that the henchpeople were lying, she memorably broke up with him by punching him off into the distance. When Captain Evening expressed his sympathies and thanked her for the save, he took the opportunity to ask her if she wanted to officially join the Odds, and she agreed. Evening threw a party at the [[Fortress of Evening]] to celebrate, inviting all of his superhero acquaintances; among others, Centennia was seen hanging out with [[Jenkins]], who confessed that he had long been “a huge fan” of hers.

([[COMIC]]: ''[[Journey Out Of Misery (comic story)|Journey Out Of Misery]]'')]]When [[the Odds]] answered [[Robot Madison]]'s call to help deal with the [[Cosmic Solution]] robot threatening [[New York City]], Centennia came with them, now being an official member of the team. Taking stock of the situation, [[Captain Evening#In Reality Z-25 31-H|Captain Evening]] immediately ordered Centennia and [[Merv the Griffin]] to help some of the heroes already present with keeping the robot contained while they formulated a better plan, without trying to destroy it, as it absorbed the energy from any impacts and used it to become larger. | ||
Even she, with or without the other heroes' help, proved unable to hold it down for long, and she was hurled to the ground when the robot wrestled itself free of the heroes pile-on, but the Captain had managed to sneak behind the robot and connect him to the device built by [[Hank Richards]] to drain its power and thereby shrink it. This victory proved short-lived as [[the Protectors]], a third set of superheroes, arrived on the scene and pummeled the robot again, allowing it to grow even larger than before and tear into the heroes with renewed vigour, with Centennia narrowly avoiding being crushed by one of its now car-sized fists. | Even she, with or without the other heroes' help, proved unable to hold it down for long, and she was hurled to the ground when the robot wrestled itself free of the heroes pile-on, but the Captain had managed to sneak behind the robot and connect him to the device built by [[Hank Richards]] to drain its power and thereby shrink it.
