TRADING CARD #44]
In the Himalayas, Charles Xavier discovers the walled city
controlled by the alien Lucifer. Xavier and Nabu the Ancient One successfully
repel the alien and Baron Wotan, a student of Nabu who was in league with
Lucifer. Nabu takes Xavier in to be his new apprentice. The date and alien
references come from Charles Xavier's history in the Marvel Universe, and are

The
Canadian government initiates the Weapon X Project, in the hopes of creating
super-soldiers of their own. Logan and Quinn of the RCAF are both accepted as

mentions two scientists by name, Cornelius and Hines. Logan's latent mutant
healing power kicks in, which allows him to survive the adamantium-grafting
process. Creed survives as well, but becomes a remorseless killing machine,
exactly what the Project was hoping for. Creed's sanity does not fare as well,
and he eventually goes rogue. [LEGENDS OF THE DARK CLAW #1, APR 1996]

The

the Mediterranean Sea in rout from New York to Cairo, in order to claim
vengeance on Professor Malcolm, a passenger who had found a statue from the
seabed years earlier. Although Malcolm intended to return the artifact to the
sea to be rid of it's curse, Poseidon merely regarded him as a thief, and
drowned him along with everyone else on board, including David Monroe and his
wife N'Dare. Only their daughter Ororo was spared, rescued from the water by
Queen Hyppolyta of the Amazons. Ororo's health is restored by Amazon
physicians, although she still suffers from an intense fear of drowning, and

1997]
Erik Magnus, a
metamutant who can tap into and control magnetic lines of force, becomes the

humans (especially his brother Will). [MAGNETIC

The
Challengers of the Fantastic (Reed Richard's Rocket Team) investigate a series
of attacks on cities by underground giants, and discover the Mole Man's secret
empire. They expose his plan to invade the surface world, and the Mole Man
seals the entrance through Monster Island after they leave, seemingly trapping
him forever. This story, titled "What If the Fantastic Four Had Not
Gained their Super-Powers?", depicts a less "amalgamated" origin
for the team than the Challengers of the Fantastic possess, but the characters
are essentially the same, and efforts were made within the comic to compare the
team to the Challengers of the Unknown. [WHAT IF..? (vol. I) #36 (MARVEL), DEC 1982]
Logan becomes the
vigilante Dark Claw in New Gotham. [LEGENDS OF THE DARK CLAW #1, APR 1996] Please see Appendix 3 for more

Super-Soldier Experiment, spearheads Operation: Re-Birth, Project Cadmus'
mission to recreate Super-Soldier one way or another. College intern Peter

Dr. Strangefate brings
together Canary, Angelhawk, Iron Lantern, and the Mariner (formerly Namor the
Aqua-Man) to combat an undisclosed menace. The four heroes choose to band
together as the Judgment League: Avengers. It is highly likely, although not
provable, that one of the Skulk's violent rampages was the catalyst for the
formation of the JLA. [DOCTOR STRANGEFATE #1, APR, 1996] [AMALGAM
TRADING CARD #10]
MagneMorpho becomes
Magneto, founds the Brotherhood of Mutants. It is easy to assume that the
Flash and Scarlet Witch mentioned by Mercury in JLX #1 (1996) were members of
the Brotherhood. However, if this is the case, it becomes necessary to accept
the idea that they escaped death at the hands of the Sentinels by traveling to
the future, in direct contrast to the many claims that all the
Brotherhood members were slain. Mister Mastermind would also seem to be a
likely candidate for membership in the Brotherhood, but this is complicated by
his presence later. [MAGNETO AND THE MAGNETIC MEN #1, APR 1996] [MAGNETIC MEN FEATURING
MAGNETO #1, JUN 1997]
About halfway through
Operation: Re-Birth, a mysterious power surge (possibly caused by Dr. Dabney
Donovan) causes an explosion that awakens the Super-Soldier clone prematurely,
disrupting the development of his powers before they reached their full
potential. Peter Parker is killed and most of the Operation: Re-Birth files are
wiped-out in the blast. [SPIDER-BOY #1, APR 1996]

Spider-Boy, under his wing. [SPIDER-BOY #1, APR 1996]

mission due to his lack of tolerance for superheroes. [AMALGAM TRADING CARD

Creed H. Quinn
recognizes Dark Claw as Logan, whom he blames for his own misfortunes, and
shows up in New Gotham as the Hyena. He
decides to hunt the Darknight Defender, armed with claws, guns, laughing bombs,
and a street gang he assumes control of and renames the Pack. [AMALGAM
TRADING CARD #76]
Uncle Gen is killed by
a two-bit burglar. Spider-Boy realizes he has to make sure he is never just a
kid who gets ignored while other people get hurt. [SPIDER-BOY #1, APR 1996]
Orion the Thunder-Man
comes to Earth. Note that there is no evidence that Orion was the
Thunder-Man. However, Orion does not
have a Marvel Universe component until after his death during the Secret
Crisis, and Thunder-Man is too vague a reference to establish his exact
components (all that is known about him is that he is long-underrated and does
not have his own book). It is fitting
that the New God Orion should be amalgamated with the God of Thunder, Thor,
given that the AU Orion is later resurrected as Thorion the Hunter. [BULLETS
AND BRACELETS #1, APR 1996] [JLX #1, APR 1996]
Bruce Wayne and

WAYNE: AGENT OF S.H.I.E.L.D. #1, APR 1996]
The
Offending Society is founded in New York. Vikki Valkyrie and HawkHawk are among
its list of members. Because this team's only appearance is out of
continuity, it may not have a counterpart in the mainstream Amalgam Universe.
However, as an amalgamation of the Justice Society and the Defenders, it is
possible that the Skulk, Mariner, and Doctor Strangefate would have been
members as well. [LOBO THE DUCK 1, JUN 1997]

SECRET
CRISIS OF THE INFINITY HOUR -- In brief: Thanoseid acquires the
Infinity Links, forging them into the Infinity Loop. With the Loop in his power
he will destroy all of reality in exactly one hour. His first act is to erase
Super Soldier from existence. It takes the combined efforts of the heroes from
Earth, New Genesis, Apokolips, and the future to stop Thanoseid, his ally
Doctor Doomsday, and a planet full of supervillains, in order to break the
Infinity Loop. The casualties run high; the Golden Age Speed Demon, Scott Free,
Orion, and the modern-day American Girl perish in the conflict. Super Soldier,
on the other hand, returns to continuity in time to help repair some of the
damage. At the story's end, Doc Alternity succeeds in his task of re-spinning
the Infinity Loop. [BULLETS AND BRACELETS #1, 1996] [SPIDER-BOY TEAM-UP #1,

Mister
Mxyzptlk teleports from the DC Universe to a world similar to the Marvel Universe.
In this reality, the 5th dimensional Imp closely resembles a discolored
Impossible Man. It has been theorized that the two impish characters are one
and the same being from this appearance. This has been contradicted by their
encounter in SUPERMAN / SILVER SURFER #1 (1996). It is possible, however, that
the world traveled to was a Hypertime of the DC Universe that is similar to the
Marvel Universe. This may have been the Amalgam Universe or one of its
counterparts, and the heroes seen in this world could in theory be members of
the Super-Four seen in UNLIMITED ACCESS #4. This would make Mr. Mxyzptlk into
the Impossible Mxyzptlk, an amalgam of both tricksters. As unlikely as this may
seem, it is a credible feat for a creature of the 5th dimension. [SUPERMAN (vol

Snapper Jones is bonded with Captain Marvel Boy. This event is deduced from the details related by Fredd, an evil twin clone of Captain Marvel from an alternate future who wound up in the Microverse. It cannot be determined if this happens in the established Amalgam Universe, but there is nothing in it that is contrary to continuity. Note that this does not mean that the Judgment League Avengers or Challengers of the Fantastic memberships necessarily change to match the story, since they are seen only in an alternate future that resembles an amalgamation of KINGDOM COME and EARTH X. The name Captain Marvel Boy is suggested by Crazy Ivan. [CAPTAIN MARVEL (vol. III) #16, 2001]

America's Best Comics (ABC), an imprint of WildStorm, itself a subsidiary of DC
Comics. Diana is used only in a cameo, while the more prominent Ultra the
Multi-Skrull is a Marvel/DC amalgam that is original to this story, whose point
of origin in space-time is never explored. [TOP 10 #8 (ABC/WILDSTORM), MAY
