Let's get into this.
Alrighty.
Tonight we have the Amalgam universe.
Alrighty, a little bit of history here.
Amalgam comics, which incorporates the Amalgam universe, was a collaborative publishing imprint
shared by both DC and Marvel comics.
In which the two comic book publishers merged their characters into new ones, which some
of them were a little bit crazy.
These characters first appeared in a series of 12 one shots, which were published in April
1996 between Marvel comics versus DC number three and DC versus Marvel comics number four.
Back and forth, they're a little between those two episodes between the two comic books themselves.
They had this entire Amalgam series, all the 12 issues.
Yep.
Jesus.
The last two issues of the DC versus Marvel crossover event, a second set of 12 one shots
followed one year later in June of 1997, but without the crossover event as a background
to those stories.
To what happened?
Okay.
Right.
All 24 of these one shots took place between the aforementioned issues of DC versus Marvel.
So everything in the events of these comic books was between that like mini series DC
V Marvel.
Okay.
Marvel encyclopedia, the fantastic four from 2004 originally designated the Amalgam universe
as earth six nine two.
So it's a real place.
It's a real place in Marvel.
I mean in terms of, yeah.
And that is in the Marvel universe.
Then the official handbook for the essential Wonder Woman encyclopedia.
A random.
Yeah.
Well, they merged the two things together on this.
The official handbook of the Marvel universe alternate universes 2005 re designated the
earth as 96 02 96 02.
So the original Marvel one was six 92.
Then they re designated it as 96 02.
Okay.
And the, the Wonder Woman for the, the Wonder Woman encyclopedia places the Amalgam universe
in DC as earth four nine six.
That's a weird.
Why did they come out and she wouldn't be like in the DC encyclopedia.
Apparently they never mentioned specifically the Wonder Woman.
I don't know.
Maybe because of the gods and stuff like that or that are involved within Wonder Woman.
And they don't have a new gods encyclopedia.
So I mean that could be the thing.
The publication history on this on two separate occasions, April, 1996 and June, 1997 DC and
Marvel co published a total of 24 one shot first issues and uh, 12 were in April of 96
12 and 1997.
Under the imprint of Malcom comics, the issues were all presented as if the company had existed
for decades with stories and editorial comments referring to fictional history stretching
back to the golden age of comic books, including retcons and reboots.
That's cool.
For example, uh, they referred to secret crisis of infinite hour.
Oh God.
So you combined an amalgamation of history.
Holy shit.
Yeah.
It's an amalgamation of Marvel's, uh, Marvel superhero secret wars and DC's crisis on infinite
earths.
Uh, Marvel's the infinity gauntlet and DC zero hour crisis in time, which had parallax
on it, uh, which featured the well known crossover of crisis on infinite earths.
Number seven, but with super soldier holding the dead body of his sidekick, who is a female
and wears a costume similar to that of Marvel's captain Marvel instead of Superman holding
the dead body of super girl.
I don't know.
I thought it was a, what was the one I thought was Robin?
They got fucked up in one of those infinity crisis.
Uh, that was before the as real.
Okay.
When Jason Todd got fucked up by Joker.
No, no.
I mean like I thought that that wasn't Batman.
I thought it was a night when they got, who the fuck got killed that, uh, started off
the infinite, uh, infinite crisis.
Do you remember?
Super girl was a super girl.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that was the cover art anyway.
Huh?
Superman holding super girl.
Could have sworn it was someone else.
Uh, 19 of the 24 issues included a phony letter, caught on the columns to provide the illusion
of background to the stories.
That's flood with fans homes with fans, hometowns formed by amalgamating the names of existing
American cities.
Jesus.
Wait, they don't do this anymore.
No, they don't.
Uh, the first amalgam event occurred near the end of the four issue DC versus Marvel
crossover event, obviously 96, which we've already talked about.
Um, let's see here.
All 24 of the amalgam one shots took place between those two series, uh, the last two
issues of the crossover event, but the, between the two events of amalgam comics, the two
blubblishers re-released a sequel crossover mini series to DC versus Marvel.
Number one through four primarily published by DC, DC slash Marvel, all access number
one through four.
So they each, um, each comic book, uh, producer had their own names for those comics basically
whenever they re re reissued them.
Right.
So they changed the names since they weren't together and working together on it.
Alrighty.
The origin of the amalgam universe.
This is the in history, like in world history, like the actual in the, in the, in the comic
book universe, right?
Uh, the two comic book universes came together when the two physical incarnations of their
respective universes referred to as the brothers became aware of each other after eons of slumber
to prevent the, uh, the brothers from destroying each other.
Characters from each universe battle to determine which universe would survive a real world
vote and our actual world vote by readers of the series was conducted to determine the
outcome of the, uh, the comic books inside themselves.
Jason Todd situation.
I fucked up that universe.
Three of them favored the Marvel hero out of the first four.
Okay.
Only one was DC.
Access a character created specifically for the event and co-owned by both DC and Marvel.
That'll go well.
Yeah.
Served as a gatekeeper who became stuck while traveling between the two universes.
So basically neither one of them can publish anything with that character without the other
one's approval.
Yeah.
By why we never heard of her or him ever since.
When the battles were finished, neither universe was willing to go to prevent their destruction.
And this is again, in story lore, the specter and the living tribunal, the two basically
OP characters of each universe created the amalgamated universe in which only access
the character created by the two publishers and Dr. Strange fate.
Oh God.
Yes.
Hang on.
Change some names doing something better.
Dr. Strange fate was a combination of three characters.
Three.
Those two was Dr. Strange and Dr. Fate and professor X.
That was magic.
Only these two access and Dr. Strange fate knew the truth of the merge.
Okay.
After it had happened in this world, the two characters fought against each other to reverse
the change in the case of access or to preserve it in the case of Dr. Strange fate.
So access wanted to break the two publishers back apart in this world.
Dr. Strange fate was trying to preserve it.
Like I don't understand that point.
He liked having three.
Almost like a living tribunal.
Basically, access the character managed to separate the brothers with the help of the
amalgamated universe superheroes.
Before the merger taking place, he had planted shards of the two universes inside the Batman
and Captain America.
Once he discovered the dark claw and amalgamation of Batman and Wolverine.
Yes.
Dark claw.
I mean, that's that was okay.
And super soldier.
That was okay.
And amalgamation of Superman and Captain America.
Pretty good characters.
He used those shards to give the specter and living tribunal the power to restore the two
universes back to the way they should be.
Okay.
Batman, Captain America and access were thus able to make the brothers, these two celestial
beings basically realize that their conflict was pointless and the two universes were separated
once more.
Damn.
Yeah.
Now we're going to go into some of the characters.
Yeah, I figured we would.
Yeah.
We'll let No Way see if he can figure out some of these.
All right.
The main characters that were not amalgamations anyway, we had access and his real name was
actual Axel Asher.
So Axel Asher access.
Triple A, triple A.
I want pictures of Spider-Man.
I guarantee you Stanley probably had some.
That man loves his alliterations.
And the brothers, those were not amalgamations.
Those were original characters.
Yep.
Alrighty.
First of the amalgamation characters, we have super soldier, amalgamation of Superman and
Captain America.
Hardclaw Logan Wayne was a character in the whole.
Logan Wayne.
My name is Bruce Logan.
Wolverine and Batman.
We had Dead Eye.
Dead Eye.
No, Hawkeye.
Dead Shot.
I don't know.
Dead Shot and Bullseye.
It's close.
Daredevil.
Yeah.
Dr. Doomsday.
So what is it?
Dr. Doom and fucking Doomsday.
His name was Bill Lawton.
Jesus.
No, sorry.
That was Dead Eye, Bill Lawton.
Okay.
And then Victor Von Doom.
Still had the same name.
Yeah, Victor Von Doom is OP as fuck.
Dr. Strange Fate, which we discussed already.
That's Dr. Fate, Dr. Strange and Professor X.
Professor X for some fucking reason.
Do you have a wheelchair?
Just crush it.
We had a character called Lethal, which was an amalgamation of Cheetah and Craven the
Hunter.
Damn, that's a random choice.
Okay.
Yeah.
So the Hunter and the.
The hunted.
Pretty much, yeah.
We had Night Creeper.
Oh boy.
That's just fucking Creeper and Nightwing.
No, then Creeper is a DC.
That's.
Nightcrawler.
Nightcrawler, yeah.
I keep forgetting that.
It's two separate characters from two different universes.
Night Creeper.
Geez, that sounds like a fucking disgusting serial killer that's been caught 15 years
ago and is rotting in jail right now.
The next one's got a funny name too.
The Skulk.
It's a fucking The Hulk and who?
Solomon Grundy.
Born on a Monday?
Jesus, that's a random choice.
Spider Boy.
That's a Superboy and Spider-Man, isn't it?
No, it's actually Superboy and Ben Reilly.
Ben Reilly, the clone?
Yeah.
The character's name was Peter Ross.
Like the baseball player?
Was that Pete Ross, wasn't it?
Yeah, it was Pete Ross.
And then we go into these are specific to certain of the miniseries.
These are characters that were in the certain miniseries for each one.
We had Amazon number one was the series.
The character was called Amazon.
Princess Aurora of Thymuskera.
Ooh.
A combination of Wonder Woman and Storm.
Let me look up some rule 34s real quick.
I'm sure you could find some too.
Then we had Assassins number one.
We had a character called Cat's Eye.
Electra Kyle was the name of the character.
Electra Kyle.
Catwoman and Electra.
Yeah.
That's actually a really easy combination though, I think.
Yeah, they're both pretty similar.
Kind of assassin, assassiny kind of characters.
Or stealthies.
Well, what one's a thief, one's an assassin?
Rule 34 that one too.
We had Dare of the Terminator, Slade Murdock.
Jesus fucking.
A female amalgamation of Deathstroke the Terminator and Daredevil.
Okay.
The big question.
So is it just a question or who?
Edward Enigma and Kingpin.
Why they wait the big question?
Why they call it the big question then?
The question's an actual character.
I know.
There was a character called the question.
We had Jimmy Ulrich, which was Jimmy Olsen and Ben Ulrich.
Wired, which was a man hunter and cable.
That's an odd choice, okay.
J. John White.
Oh boy.
So it's just Perry White and J. Jonah Jameson.
I want pictures of Superman, Spider-Man.
This is a horrible name.
Winter Stick.
Oh boy.
She's a Winter Soldier and who?
I wonder who's a Winter Soldier.
It's not?
Who the fuck is Winter Stick?
Who else goes by Winter?
Winter Green from DC.
Winter Green.
And Marvel's Stick.
Who the fuck is Stick?
The one that trained Daredevil.
Oh, the blind guy, yeah.
Yeah.
I forgot about him.
But I've never heard of Winter Green.
Jesus, what is he, a fucking gum?
Wrigley's.
Jesus.
Then we have the miniseries Doctor Strange Fate.
We had in this, we had the Abominite.
Oh God.
Helgramite from DC and Marvel's Abomination.
We had Mix, just a character named Mix.
Mr. Mix Pitlick and Wong.
Wong.
From DC.
Or from Marvel, I mean, sorry.
He's a Wong?
Okay.
Yeah, kind of a weird.
I didn't know Wong was around that long.
Uh, wasn't it in the 90s?
Yeah.
Doctor Strange?
I just thought he was an original character in MCU.
I thought I was wrong.
We had Jade Nova, which was Green Lantern's Kyle Rayner and Jade and Marvel's Nova.
Why three?
Okay.
It's a weird combination as well.
Yeah.
I was with three for some reason sometimes.
Now this wasn't a horrible name for a character.
The White Witch.
That's good.
It's not bad, right?
So Scarlet Witch and who?
Zatanna.
Okay.
It's a good combination actually.
World 34 combination right there.
Baron Wotan.
DC's Wotan and Marvel's Baron Mordo.
Good old Mordo.
Mephisto Sant- Oh boy.
Mephisto Satanus.
DC's Satanus and Marvel's Mephisto.
They just threw the names.
Mephisto Satanus.
You're close enough.
Can't even say his own damn name.
It's fucking beautiful.
Uh, then we have the next mini series, which is JLX.
Ooh, a combination of what?
Avengers and JLA?
Uh.
Or no, Avengers and X-Men?
Or no, JLA and X-Men?
I don't even think half of these characters fall into that.
Oh fuck.
We have Captain Marvel.
That's just Captain Marvel.
They just say Shazam and fucking Captain Marvel.
You know what I mean?
It's DC's Captain Marvel, Billy Batson and Marvel's Captain Marvel.
Marvel though.
Marvel.
Oh, the Kree alien.
We had the Angel Hawk.
Oh fuck.
Is it Hawk Guy?
No, Angel would be the Marvel one.
So Angel Hawk.
So Green Arrow.
Hawk Man.
Oh, that was Hawk Man.
I forgot about Hawk Man.
Hawk Man and Angel.
We had Goliath, which was Oliver Queen and Goliath from Marvel.
They just can't have one guy's name.
We had Hawk Eye, which was Green Arrow Connor Hawk and then Hawk Eye.
Why did you call him Green Hawk?
No, Hawk Eye still.
Clint Archer was the character's name too.
Like the persona.
We have The Canary, which was Black Canary and Mockingbird from Marvel.
We had the Wraith, which was DC's Obsidian and Gambit.
Gambit.
So random choice.
We have Apollo, which was DC's The Ray and Marvel Cyclops.
They just renamed it to Apollo.
Yeah, I'm not understanding these names.
We had Mr. X.
It's not Professor X though.
Partially, yeah.
It is Professor X.
It's got another fun character.
And Martian Manhunter.
Jesus.
Yeah.
We had Runaway, which was Gypsy from DC and Marvel's Rogue.
Oh, OK.
The Aquamariner.
Aquamariner and Aquaman.
Some of these names are so bad.
Firebird.
OK.
DC's Fire.
And Marvel's Bird.
Or Phoenix.
The way they combined names wouldn't be surprising.
We have Mercury, which was DC's Impulse and Marvel's Quicksilver.
So they did not combine Quicksilver with Flash.
They should have.
Call them Quick Flash.
We had Will Magnus, which was Will Magnus and Bolvar Trask.
Some of them just have one dude.
What the fuck's the difference?
I guess he had more of the personality.
Yeah, just to conquer the whole fucking combination.
We had Jocasta.
Jocasta.
Wait, is that supposed to be the Punisher?
No, it was DC's Platinum of the Metal Men and Marvel's Jocasta the Citinels, which
is a character I've never heard of.
Jesus, no.
I mean, obviously, I'm not as familiar with Marvel as I am with DC.
But we had Professor Kang, which was Professor Zoom in Kang the Conqueror.
We had Apocalypse.
Apocalypse, oh God, I can already tell.
Eclipso in Apocalypse.
Like that was just a real creative name there.
We had Warlord Ghoul.
Ra's al Ghoul and Warlord Krang.
Mistique.
Mist.
Teak.
Jesus.
OK, so Mistique and who?
No amalgamation.
We don't know DC's side of that.
We just know Marvel's.
They didn't tell us?
What the fuck?
What I also, what I get on this is that they combined like Professor X has two combinations
in this amalgam universe because he was in two separate issues that weren't associated.
So we had the next series, which was Legend of the Dark Claw.
We had the Hyena.
Oh boy.
That one's actually pretty easy.
Joker and Sabretooth.
Makes sense.
We had the Huntress, which was Huntress and Carol Danvers.
Yeah, they just made it Huntress.
They just make it Huntress and have no one else.
We had Sparrow, which was Robin and Jubilee.
Oh yeah, because of him, her and the brain were like Mentor and apprentice.
We had the next one, which was Super Soldier.
We had James Olsen.
This is where you get your Bucky Barnes.
Jimmy Olsen and Bucky Barnes.
James Olsen.
It's a rare.
OK.
We had the Green Skull.
Lex Luthor was the character's name.
Yeah, green.
Lex Luthor and Red Skull.
Ultrametallo, which was Metallo and Sleeper from Marvel.
And the Doomknot, which was DC's Doomsday and Marvel's Juggernaut.
Nice.
Then we go into...
Let's see here.
Those were the ones from DC.
Then we have the Marvel side.
I thought they were supposed to be combined.
Well, they were still published.
Separately?
Yeah.
So the first one from the Marvel side, we have Bruce Wayne, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Bruce Wayne.
Just Bruce Wayne?
It says in amalgamation, version of Bruce Wayne, but it doesn't say who he's combined
with at all.
It's just...
Then we had Nick Fury.
Nick Fury.
What the f***?
Marvel went real creative, didn't they?
Marvel didn't give a s***.
Like, f***, I just used the same guys.
We have Madame Cat, which was Catwoman and Madame Hydra.
OK.
Then we had Luke, which was Bane and Nuke.
We had Baron Zero, which was Mr. Freeze and Baron Strucker.
Yeah.
That's a good combination, I think.
At least name-wise, anyway.
We had Deathlock, which was Jason Todd, Deathlock, Ed Midnight.
Jesus.
Those two of them from Marvel.
We had the Black Bat, which was Batgirl and Black Cat.
We had Moonwing.
That's a horrible name.
Nightwing and Moon Knight.
Sergeant Rock.
We just called him Night Moon.
And then Tony Stark.
Tony Stark.
Good choice.
Marvel really did not care.
They just used the names.
OK, we got Bruce Wayne.
We got Nick Fury.
We have Sergeant Rock and Tony Stark are all the same characters still.
In the next series from Marvel's side, we had bullets and bracelets.
We had Diana Prince, which was an amalgamation of Wonder Woman and Elektra.
It's kind of a...
Don't name Diana Prince.
Yeah.
The Punisher, which was Steve Trevor and Punisher.
That's why they're one of them fucking Batman.
The Bronze Panther.
Bronze Tiger and Black Panther.
Oh.
I mean, at least go together.
I mean, Tiger, Panther, both cats.
It kind of fits.
We had War Monarch, which was a monarch and war machine.
Big Titania.
Oh, I was there.
Big Barda and Titania.
Jesus.
Bernadeth, which was just an amalgamation of DC's Bernadeth.
Mad Harriet, the same thing.
It's just an amalgamation of that.
Stompa, same thing.
DC amalgam...
Like, Marvel really did not give a fuck.
They wouldn't be...
They'd be various.
It's not amalgamations.
They're not combined with anything.
I guess they're saying the amalgamation universe is of...
I guess.
The characters.
Like, it's not a combination of any character.
They just kind of ripped him and...
Redesigned him.
Basically.
Granny Harkness, which was Granny Goodness and Agatha Harkness from...
I forgot about Granny Goodness, that evil bitch.
That big sad bitch.
Yeah, she was one mean ass...
What is that?
Apocalyptic?
This is a horrible, horrible name.
Thanoside.
Oh, God.
What'd they merge Thanos with?
Darkseid.
Oh.
Thanoside.
It's called Darknos.
Which also reminds me, too, that whenever DC and Marvel fought, there is an actual comic
book where Darkseid finds the Infinity Gauntlet.
That'd be cool.
But it's useless, because it only works in the universe it is from.
Sounds like the Loki TV show where the Infinity Gauntlets don't work inside their own universe.
We had Highfather Odin.
Highfather.
Highfather and Odin.
Jesus.
And then we had two more just amalgamation universe versions of Mr. Miracle and Kanto.
But they're not a combination of any.
Next one from Marvel, we had Magneto and the Magnet Men.
And the Magnet Men.
Basically it's just the Metal Men.
Right.
There's nothing really special about them.
Damn, Magneto would fuck them up.
The Magneto character on here was Eric Magnus, where it's Will Magnus and Magneto, basically.
Just a combination.
There was a character called Antimony, Platinum, and Scarlet Witch.
Bismuth, which was 10 of the Metal Men, and Rick Jones.
I'm Rick James, Ben.
That's what I thought.
I'm Rick James, Ben.
I'm Rick James.
Respect yourself.
One of the five figures, Sal Vase.
What the fuck is going on in the tangent?
I've seen his aura.
It was orange.
I swear to you, I saw it.
It's just a bunch of other characters like that for that specific little mini-series
one.
The next series from Marvel, number one, was Speed Demon.
Howl Madman Jordan.
Just an amalgamation universe version of Howl Jordan.
We had Uatu the Guardian.
Uatu?
Uatu and Guardian of the Universe.
Star Wars.
You remember Uatu?
No.
The guy, the Watcher?
Oh yeah.
It's like U-A-T-U.
Yeah, U-A-T-U.
Yeah, I always forget.
It made it seem like a longer name when you said it.
Oh, Uatu?
Yeah, it's like the four letters.
Uatu?
Yeah, basically.
We had the Speed Demon.
Character's name in this was Blaze Allen.
The Speed Demon was a combination of DC's Barry Allen, Jay Garrick, and Etrigan the Demon
along with Ghost Rider.
When they...
Four characters.
I don't know.
It's just the choices are so far from making any sense.
Yeah, but see that Ghost Rider was Johnny Blaze and then we had Kid Demon, which was
Kid Flash and the Ghost Rider Danny Ketch.
Jesus.
We had the Blob.
Like for Ghost Rider, you know what I would have done?
It would have been Ghost Rider and Lobo.
Yeah, that would have been cool.
The biker sense.
Oh, you're going to hate the Lobo combination.
But they're just combining shit that makes no fucking sense to me.
Yeah, pretty much.
I mean Superman and Captain America, you know, the American way and all that.
Red, white, blue.
Some of these do not go together though.
No, Jesus Christ.
What the fuck happened with these?
Okay, this one.
The Blob makes sense.
It's DC's Chunk and Marvel's Blob.
I thought it'd be Clayface to be honest.
Chunk.
Jesus Chunk.
We had Miss Miracle, the Night Spectre, which is a weird combination of the Spectre and
Nightmare.
From Marvel.
Nightmare.
Had the Two-Faced Goblin.
Just fucking Two-Faced and a Goblin.
Exactly.
The Scarecrow.
DC and Marvel's Scarecrow.
I don't know that Marvel even had a Scarecrow.
Marvel had a Scarecrow?
They got it from them correctly.
There might be one, yeah.
This is a really stupid name too.
Silicon Man.
Plastic Man and Sandman.
Close enough.
And the Arrowcaster, which was Speedy and Marvel's Nightcaster.
Again, Marvel did not take it seriously at all.
They didn't take it seriously at all.
Then we have Spider-Boy, where we have Bizarre-nage, which is Bizarro and Carnage.
The Guardian Angel, which was Guardian and Angel.
The best I could do.
We had King Lizard, which was King Shark and Lizard and Feng Feng Foom all together.
Damn, Feng Feng Foom as well?
Yep.
We had Brooklyn Barnes, which was Daniel.
Bucky Barnes and who?
Bucky Barnes and Daniel Turpin.
Who the fuck is Daniel Turpin?
God, what is he from?
I can't remember off the top of my head, but he's like one of those cop characters, I believe.
We had the Insect Queen, which was Insect Queen of Lang Lang.
Alana Lang.
I was like, what the fuck?
Alana Lang and Mary Jane Watson.
Professor Double X.
I call me Professor Double D. Which was DC's Double X and Professor X.
So it should be Triple X.
You dumb son of a bitch.
There was no creativity on this side.
Jesus, man.
We had Mastalo.
Mastalo.
That was Stalo.
Fuck.
Must have been eating PCP or something.
And then we had X Patrol, number one.
X Patrol, that sounds pretty cool.
We had the Beastling, which was the Changeling and Beast.
We had Elastigirl, which was Elastigirl, Domino and Wasp.
We had Pharaoh Man, which was Pharaoh adding colossus.
We had Niles Cable, which was Chief from DC.
Niles Calder, I've never heard of that character.
Cable and Professor X again.
Damn, Professor X.
I'm fucking MVP right here.
We had Shatterstarfire, which was Starfire and Shatterstar.
Dial Husk, which was Dial H for Hero and Marvel's Husk.
I kind of forgot about Dial H for Hero.
Wonder Girl, which was Wonder Girl and Wonder Man, which is kind of creepy because he's
an adult and she's not.
We had Polaris, which was Dr. Polaris and Marvel's Polaris.
We have Merry Marvel Girl, which was Merry Marvel and Marvel Girl.
Jesus, they didn't really do anything with this stuff.
Artemis Tree Knight, which is Artemis of Bonham McDoll and Misty Knight.
And then the second set from DC, we had Bat Thing, number one.
We had Dark Clawed Adventures, number one, instead of just Dark Claw, Legend of the Dark
Claw.
No, it's Dark Clawed Adventures.
There's a couple of characters on here that were funny.
We had Lady Talia, which was Lady Deathstrike and Talia O'Gul.
We had Patch Malone.
God, Patch Malone.
Marvel's Patch and DC's Magic Malone.
Like, some of these characters.
We had Spiral Harley, which was Marvel's Spiral and DC's Harley Quinn.
Oh, wow, OK.
The Omega Beast, KG Beast and Omega Red.
The Bat Thing had Bingle Burry, the two headed dog.
They don't know where the amalgamation even came from.
They say it's an amalgamation of some random shit we found.
Howard the Mixpilic.
So that's Howard the Ducking.
Mr. Mixpilic.
Alicia Murdoch, the little blind girl.
Look at your face.
A little blind girl.
Alicia Masters and Matt Murdoch.
But they don't know who the DC side is.
It's just.
How the fuck did that DC?
And this is DC Comics.
We don't know who we picked.
We just chose somebody.
We had Generation Hex was the next miniseries.
Jonah Hex, Jonah, which was Jonah Hex in Marvel's Chamber, Aurora Trigger, North Star Trigger,
Madame Banshee, Johnny Random.
It's the whole the whole sum of this whole series.
Random Skinhunter, the White Whip.
Oh, you can't have.
You wouldn't be able to get that White Whip out of here.
In today's political climate, you could not have that man.
The White Whip.
Have no fear.
The White Whip's here.
I'll stop you right on the White Whip.
When in doubt, the White Whip is here.
It's DC's whip and White Queen Emma Frost.
Because catchphrase is the White Power.
We had Retribution, Marshall Batrasque, the Razorman, Black Tom Savage and the White Whip.
The White Whip again?
Are you just remembering?
Black Tom Savage and the White Whip.
Better enemies.
The same team.
Can't stand each other though.
Miss M Parasyplate.
El Papamondo.
Don't tell that the White Whip.
El Papamondo is El Diablo in Marvel's Mondo.
Mondo?
Pow wow boom boom smell.
You're making this stuff up now.

We'll go down to X-Stroke the Eliminator, which was DC's Deathstroke the Terminator
and Executioner.
Ow.

Quite the choice.

The highest comic book you'll ever have, I swear to God.
They combined him with Marvel's Devil Dinosaur.
So why did they combine with Howard the Duck?
I don't know.
Duck Chimp.

and some of the younger characters from Marvel.
So like you have Spider Boy 2099, which was DC's Mon-El in Marvel's Spider-Man 2099.

Honestly, yeah.
We had Big Sif, which is Big Barton.
Big Barton Sif?
That's like a name you'd call a big girl across the road.
That's Big Sif over there.
She'd say anything to her and she'd beat your ass.
Exactly.
She'd come over, what you want?
She'd beat your ass.
She'd jump and pick up a fucking vending machine and drop it on your face.
They also had Enchantra the Tiger, which was Tigret and Enchantress.
Horrible comic.
I don't know where the fuck they got it.
Just looking at these names, they forced so many of these.
Yeah.
You know what they should have done is they should have made it smaller.
Like with just a key set of characters.
They just started fucking throwing shit together.
They really did.
They lost their fucking minds.
Here's a couple of teams that they changed the names.
I'm not going to go through all these, but we have the All Star Winners Squadron, which
was the All Star Squadron and the All Winner Squad.
All Winner Squad, they just vacationed in the summer.
We had the Brotherhood of Injustice, Injustice League and Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, the
Challengers of the Fantastic, Challengers of the Unknown and Fantastic Four, the Challenger
Haters of Evil, which was League of Challenger Haters and Masters of Evil, the Female Furies.
That's actually not bad.
It's a combination of DC's basically female furies, so they didn't even change anything
in that.
We had the Hellfire League of Injustice, Injustice League and Hellfire Club.
It's not too bad of a name.
The Howling Commandos was the Howling Commandos.
They took their names and then they added the East Company from DC into that, which
had Sergeant Rock and stuff like that.
Hydra, they just used the name Hydra.

We have the X-Patrol, which was the Doom Patrol and Teen Titans and Marvel's X-Men.
And then the Weaponers of AIM, which was the Weaponers of Clard and Marvel's AIM.
So in general and in conclusion to the Amalgamation universe, they fucking.
They have a fuck.
They just wanted to make some money so they can buy some of the big name characters and
they fucked up the entire thing.
They just fucking shit all over it.
Basically, it is the randomest sound I should have ever heard.
Most of it was.
I thought I'd go through some of those names because some of them are just the worst names
I've ever heard.
They publish this stuff like it's like, oh, it's OK.
Like, oh, they're going to love this.
I hope they put somewhere that was satire or something.
But it's it literally exists.
Apparently it is there.
There is a world in this like they actually have Earth numbers for this universe.
Which is scary on so many levels.
Especially with Marvel doing other weird ass fucking multiverse stuff.
Yeah, before you know it, it'll be there too.
And then you have all the shit that they've done with DC.
Like how many different universes and multiverses and how many times have they had to reset
the fucking universe?
That one time for this DCU.
They got to fix that one timeline.
I don't mind the multiverse, but good God, just sometimes it all I can say in conclusion
to all of it.
Remember, there was a character called the White Whip.
Jesus.
And Black Tom Savage on the same team.
They can get along.
Everybody can get along.
There you go.
Yeah, they can set aside the differences in the world.
We get along too.
But that is all we got for you guys this week.
We will see you guys on the next one.
Here's something to fear.
What if you're not the Rickest version of you?
Goodbye.
I'm Rick James, bitch.
