Infinity Warps: Who should be amalgamated?

[Ursalink]

I would guess that the idea to fuse 2 disparate heroes together is so you can create a more hodgepodge. Mix 2 of different worlds and see what you get, as opposed to mix 2 of similar or even the same worlds and essentially get "more of the same".

That's just my guess, though.

Yes, I understand your point. But I simply believe that it works better if you combine characters who have similarities instead of mixing different worlds that could lead you to a complete nonsense.

Ehh it's more fun to mash Shang-chi and Multiple man than Shang-chi/Iron Fist.

This is cheating, but in some alternate Earths the children of two superheroes/villains inherited the powers of both parents. On Earth-9811, the son of the Human Torch and Wasp can shrink, grow wings and project heat and is named Firefly. The son of Hawkeye and She-Hulk has green skin, super-strength and is an archer and is named Mustang.

That's a cool concept, and has shown up in characters like Ruby Summers (who has a gemstone body like her mother, Emma Frost, and red energy beams like her father, Scott Summers).

It could be neat to see a child of Sue Richards and Namor, for instance, with Atlantean strength, toughness and amphibious qualities from his father, and the ability to form shields of water and turn invisible in water, adapted from her mother's power. Or a child of Johnny Storm and Lyja the Power-Skrull able to shapeshift and project fire, assuming a draconic winged form and breathing fire.

Well, in some other cases, it's combining characters which abilities "complement" with each other's.

Childs of Sue Richards and Namor exist in a "What If..." where Namor joined the Fantastic Four. And a child like of Johnny Storm and Lyja like you describe it exist in MC2.

Fair enough. For me, and I imagine for the creative teams making these, I'd say the below fits more with the ideal they are likely coming from.

This is pretty blunt, but more or less explains it.

Groot and Psylocke.

She can be a Maple who everyone has to remember is actually an Oak.

Ghost Rider + Hulk = Ghost Hulk?

Thats actually really awesome with your kung fu hero able to make his own mook squad all as skilled as him.

Star-Lord (Peter Jason Quill) + J'Son of Spartax = Peter J'Son Quill
Or maybe Star-Lord + Quill from the X-Men!?
Or maybe Star-Lord + Colossus = the ultimate russian astronaut turned into the greatest cosmic hero of the space!? :O

[Ursalink]

Ghost Rider + Hulk = Ghost Hulk?

We already have this once, only Venom was added to the mix too.

By the way, since this comic is following the same structure of "Amalgam Comics", do you think we will have a continuation of this world?

Also, maybe this is a little cheating, but considering how many copies of DC Characters are in Marvel Universe, maybe they could have merged the plastiches with the same characters from Amalgam. I mean:
+ Super-Soldier = Captain America + Superman (replace him with Hyperion or Sentry).
+ Dark Claw = Wolverine + Batman (replace him with Nighthawk or Moon Knight).
+ Amazon = Storm + Wonder Woman (replace it with Power Princess or Thundra).

[JudicatorPrime]

The "Not Ready for Brand Echh!" version:

Warlock + Thor = Thorlock
Carol Danvers + Tony Stark = Libation
Rom Spaceknight + 3D Man = 3D Rom
Hulk + Godzilla = Hulkzilla
Dr. Strange + Stepford Cuckoos = Dr. Strange Cucks
Silver Surfer + Banshee (or Black Bolt) = The Silver Burper

[Michael Watkins]

it should never happen. it's gimmicky. the two characters become less from the merger.

[Sutekh]

Cap's Kooky Quartet all smooshed together!

Captain America + Hawkeye + Scarlet Witch + Hawkeye = the Silver Shield, a patriotic speedster super-soldier wielding a 'hex bow' and a magic shield with a pentacle on it that protects him from the evil spells of the Thule occultists he faced during WW2!

Nobody said Ant-Man.
