The Amalgam universe, also known as Amalgam Comics, is seriously messed up. It's what happens when you take two amazing comic book companies, make them fight one another, and then combine them. They came up with one or two good combinatio. Most of us happen to like the Dark Claw, the combination of Wolverine and Batman. We also like Super-Soldier, the combination of Captain America and Superman. This one is actually not a commie, thanks to Cap. Others are inexcusable and sometimes make fans deathly sick. Like Iron Lantern, the combination of Iron Man and the stinking Green Lantern. That is just plain stupid. Then there is Lobo the Duck, the combination of Lobo and....Howard the Duck? What the Heck? I think I've dwelt on this a tad to long. IT'S GOT TO GO.

  • Amalgam Comics was a metafictional American comic book publisher, and part of a collaboration between Marvel Comics and DC Comics, in which the two comic book publishers merged their characters to create new ones (e.g. DC Comics' Batman and Marvel's Wolverine became the Amalgam character Dark Claw). These characters first appeared in a series of twelve comic books which were published in 1996, following the Marvel vs DC miniseries. A second set (of another twelve comic books) followed a year later.
  • Amalgam Comics was a publishing imprint of both Marvel and DC. It contained fusions of two characters, creating a new one. Examples include, Super Soldier (Superman and Captain America), Thanoseid (Thanos and Darkseid), Doctor Doomsday (Dr Doom and Doomsday), etc. They also made a miniseries called Marvel vs DC.

These characters first appeared in a series of twelve comic books which were published in 1996, between the third and fourth issues of the Marvel vs. DC miniseries. A second set of twelve comic books followed one year later. The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe: Alternate Universes 2005 designated the Amalgam Universe as Earth-9602.
  • The two comic universes came together when the incarnations of their respective universes (referred to as "the Brothers") became aware of each other after aeons of slumber. To prevent the Brothers from destroying each other, characters from each universe battled to determine which universe would survive; several of the matches were determined by online voting. Access, a character created for the event (co-owned by Marvel and DC), served as a gate keeper who became stuck between traveling through both Universes.

Access, a character created for the event (co-owned by Marvel and DC), served as a gate keeper who became stuck between traveling through both Universes. When the fights concluded (including controversial victories by Wolverine and Storm over Lobo and Wonder Woman, respectively), neither universe was willing to go. To prevent total destruction, the Spectre and the Living Tribunal created a merged universe, in which only Axel Asher and Dr. Strangefate knew the truth. Each struggled against the other to reverse or preserve the change. Eventually, Axel Asher, now called Access, managed to separate the Brothers with the help of Amalgam's heroes; before the merge had taken place, he had planted 'shards' of the universe in Batman and Captain America, and, once he discovered Dark Claw and Super-Soldier, he used those shards to give the Spectre and the Tribunal the power to restore the universes. Batman, Captain America and Access were thus able to make the Brothers realize that their conflict was pointless, and all went back to normal.
