I LOVED the Amalgam Universe and I would love to see it revisited with a wider array of characters, Both those that were older and newer than the 1990's staples when this came out. I would love to see a Black Adam/Black Panther mash-up protecting their homeland of Wakhandaq. I'm sure Deadpool would be a big player if it happened today. Psycho Pirate and Deadpool maybe... although I'm sure most people would want Deadpool/Harley Quinn in some form.
I doubt we'll see the Amalgam Universe for a LONG time. The closest we have is like Fortnite. People seem to pit Marvel and DC against each other like they're archenemies for some reason. I'd like to see a return of the Amalgam Universe as well though. There's many stories that can be told through them.
@@ScuffedJeo you're sadly correct. I don't think we will get Amalgam for a long time, MAYBE some crossovers if we are lucky. They have done a couple "Sneaky" crossovers in the past few years but nothing official. I honestly think the closest thing to a crossover with them we might have is in a Lego video game
I kinda wish they’d do this concept again today-the Amalgam universe was such a weird twisted concept done in such a unique and exciting way. Yeah, you’d get some crazy shit like Lobo the Duck, but there’d be three Super Soldiers and Dark Claws right behind it. I know the concept itself was inherently unsustainable, but I’d love to see them take a second swing at this (even taking into account how both companies have faltered a bit from when they last did the idea). My favorite part is, when the universes split back into two, both brothers acknowledge how strong the other’s universe was and share a respectful “You fought well” to each other and it’s awesome!
I love Amalgam so much. Such an interesting, stupid, and funny concept and execution. Found a copy of Amazon in a charity shop this year which was such an unexpected surprise. I wish they would bring do reprints or revisit the universe or the concept. Amalgmating characters is an obsession of mine and one of my favourites has to be Thor and Etrigan - "THORIGAN". Their origins have some parallels and a demonic Thor would be sick to see.
They kinda did that with Speed Demon who was an amalgamation of Ghost Rider, The Flash, and Etrigan. Also they DID collect the issues if four trade paperbacks but good luck finding them for a decent price. They range from $60-$100. Sadly I don't think we'll see it again. It's a remnant of a time when Marvel and DC as companies were more amicable and when some of their titles were failing they would do a crossover to raise interest in those titles. Nowadays there's too much bitterness. I'm sure many of the writers would jump at the chance to do another inter-company crossover since most writers revolve between Marvel and DC.
There has been plenty of hence and references by both Marvel and DC that maybe one day they will bring back the amalgam Universe in fact this is even stated during the events of the one shot Dark Crisis on infinite Earths: Big Bang, where Barry has mapped out the the new DC infinite universe and the amalgam universe was referenced as Earth 1996.
I always enjoyed the Amalgam Universe, and it might be the last time the comics truly surprised everyone - I don't think anyone expected THIS to happen with Marvel vs DC. And it's a bit of a shame the likelihood of its return is low considering that Marvel and DC would have to come together to make it. Although Marvel DID try to do it on its own with Infinity Warp, which didn't work as well, IMO.
There was nothing like living through this period, right as the crash was obliterating the hobby. The DCvM trading cards, the ballot system, the tracking down of all the Amalgam titles and even arguing amongst our friends over the validity of the jokey self-referential callback text boxes referring to comics of the past that never actually existed in many of the issues. It was really something great.
We seriously needed another amalgam universe revival because personally I think another amalgam universe with DC and marvel characters today would be really awesome and tons of fun at least in my opinion.
Like to say, I like that alchemy, the ad, the image, comics, universe, and the DC universe in the Marvel universe. It would be a good idea to mind it with other comics to make a newer fusion.
My favorite amalgam universe moments was when: 1. Doctor Doomsday was aware of the merge to create this comic universe And 2. When Professor Kang was ALSO aware of this merge and STILL decided to split Spiderboy into the comic book counterparts that made Spider-Boy into existence.
While I’m confident we will eventually see an Avengers vs Justice League movie sometime down the line (not necessarily soon but eventually), I’d absolutely love some sort of live action tale of the Amalgam universe. Be it a miniseries or a trilogy of films, and have actors that look like a combination of the two characters from the films. The first person that comes to mind for Super Soldier would be Chris Pine, as an in between of Cavil and Evans
@@starflatinum683 true, but Dark Crisis 7 establishes that the new multiverse revolves around the Prime Multiverse. Not sure if that makes it part of that multiverse or not
That's cool about Peter Ross, as that also makes him a reference to Superman's young friend, Pete Ross. Also, is Great White an amalgam of King Shark and... I don't know who it would be from Marvel, haha.
What's crazy is that I literally just started connecting the dots on how Hollywood has been building up all the back stories for so many characters for decades. I watched "The Golden Child," and Eddie Murphy runs into King Lannister himself, Hiro's Mom from the TV show Heroes, who is scene wearing 4 of the Infinity Stones in her hair... you also see the Terminator landscape at the end, Mortal Combat Battleworld references, 3 Kid Ninja (or whatever that movie was called... with DJ from Rosanne). Speaking of Heroes, you see the Golden Childs Mom again, along with Jesse Stamos, who is not Nathan Petrelli as Peter's brother, he is Nathaniel Richards trying to protect Peter from going Nuclear... Hayden is maybe Supergirl. Eddie Murphy is the original Jer-L (Jerk - He Who Remains). Trading Places with Dan Ackroyd, who realized he was trapped in Ghostbusters -> Seygurney Weaver (Aliens) -> Prometheus -> David -> Magneto... Like we have to follow all the movies and shows, etc... in a perfect timeline... not of release, but in the timeline shown within the show itself. Dan Arnold was in True Lies but passed away. So Jeff Daniels takes on that role in Speed, where we see The One (Keanu -> Superman?) and "Miles Dyson" from Terminator. If we watch Don't tell Mom the Babysitters Dead, the mom is also the mom in "Twins" (6th Day -> Arnold becomes Terminator). We also so Sue El (Swell) in the Fashion Factory with (Stapler guy from Office Space) which is the same uniforms from Linda Hamilton job in 1984 Terminator. Deep Impact (a StarTrek Deep Space 9 tie-in with Harry Potter -> Pepper Potts in Ironman) has 2 Suns just like on Xandar. We see the Fulcrum and Bruce Almighty. Leo Biedemerman (gets Johnny Blaze Bike from Criminal Minds Hotchners daughters garage (Lord of the Rings)... but Rudy is also trapped. Because The Goonies had the Walsh Family (Americas Most Wanted) finding a map to a treasure. His older brother is Thanos himself (Brolin) with Data (Inspector Gadet - Star Trek), girlfriend "Andy"... Brolin's headband is also a clear tie to Drew Barrymore (Charlie's Angel's -> One-eyed "Willie"-"Willy Wanka and the Cholcolate Factory (Dr. Frankenstein -> StrangeFate) who was the young sister of Elliot (Young Christoper Reeve original Superman movie) and Cosmo in ET. We had Jim Varney passed, so Jim Carrey came in as Gus from Don't Tell Mom... Truman Show... which is an Ed Harris Tie in for Apollo 13 (Tom Hanks, Kevin Bacon, Bill Paxton) and eventually 007/Indiana Jones Dad tie in for "The Rock" with Johnny Blaze getting released -> Con-Air tie in with Cusack (2012) and Malkavich (Rounders -> Matt Damon -> Robin to Afflecks Batman forever pass from the passing Val Kilmer. Top Gun ties in Tom Cruise and Val Kilmer with their commander was also the Cop from Masters of The Universe and Principal from Back to the Future.... Cruise with Mission Impossible tie-ins with Vingh and Korg and Bruce Willis and the 5th Element herself (Resident Evil -> Hive)... Die Hard -> Lethal Weapon (Rene Russo -> Thors dad -> Ransom "Give me back my son" -> Gary Senise (CSI:NY and Vegas and Miami tie ins)... A few Good Men -> Jack Nicholson (Joker) -> Shining (Fulcrum/Fault). D.A.R.R.Y.L. is also a funny tie-in.. Like I can go on. DuckTales has the Genie Lamp and Green Medallion. The Secret of Nihm -> Indiana Jones -> Fival goes west -> Great Mouse Detective -> Rescuers Down Under -> Cock-a-doodle-doo -> 101 Dalmations Terrance Howard steals Lightning McQueen from the end of Ironman 1 -> takes some beats from "The New Guy" -> starts an "Empire" Indiana Jones Dad is Hunt for Red of October (Jack Ryan) and 007 Agent -> Holy Grail Scene -> Howard the Duck... His son is Andrew "Ender" Wiggins -> Same Andy from 1995 Toy Story Tom Hanks, Tim Allen... one castaway with a Starwars Death Star named Wilson... other is Tim the Toolman Taylor with a fence weilding neighbor named Wilson. Speed -> Dennis Hopper with 9 ³/⁴ fingers -> Harry Potters Dyagnolly Post at 9 ³/⁴... Matthew McConaughey -> Dazed and Confused -> Interstellor -> That 70s show actor -> Ashton Kutcher -> Butterfly Effect -> Biel -> Blade -> Demolition Man (Bullock). All the back stories have been written. When unfortunate deaths arose (or individuals wanted out), delays had to be made... but I don't think anyone is really prepared to understand who was actually who and when things played out. Curly Sue... let this one play out hahaha in your own head for a second (Hermoine Granger?) I honestly can't figure out which of like 4 players is still trapped somewhere waiting for Affleck and Robin to open that hiding spot haha. Just remember... It's all just for show. Pretty cool how they got it all done behind the scenes and in front of our face without really anyone truly understanding the scope of all of it.
They could still recreate this universe by saying that when both universes were separated,this universe was recreated and isolated into a pocket dimension or something.
Man they need to make a animated film of this. It will be wicked. I know they won't be able to do it live action. It will cost way to much money . But a animated film would be awesome
Your title image, the wrap around cover of the DC collection of 6 of the original 12 one shots. I saw in a comic shop one time a marvel equivalent but have never since been able to find it.
Sadly I was too young to get into comics even though I watched Spider-Man, X-Men, and Batman on TV. However I am in LOVE with the Amalgam Universe. It feels like an encapsulation of what Marvel and DC would do when they wanted to drum up interest in faltering titles. I wish we could revisit this universe again and see amalgamated versions of more recent characters but Marvel and DC have become too bitter to do such a collab again. Shame cause I'm sure there are plenty of people at both companies who would love to work on such a project since alot of the writers at both tend to revolve between Marvel and DC.
I think it would be great if this EARTH-1996 Realm, introduces it in a few DC cartoon shows, and have the Amalgamated heroes, along with some of the Amalgamated villains be shown in the cartoon shows.
Years later, Marvel has revisited the concept by mashing their own characters together, like Cap and Strange becoming Soldier Supreme, Thor and Iron Man becoming Iron Hammer (last story, Super Soldier teases a morose Stark Odinson that his dour mood is ironic as he know he's made up of two major party animals), Moon Knight and Spider-Man becoming Arachknight, and so on. I'm disappointed they didn't combine Ben Grimm and Luke Cage just so his catchphrases "It's Clobberin' Time!" and "Sweet Christmas!" becomes "It's Christmas Time!" But that universe still exists so my dream is not dead yet. And some of them have made it into games like Future Fight.
I remember that some years ago, I came up with the creatively named Spider Flash. A mixture between the Flash and Spider Man. I also made the reverse Spider Flash which was Reverse Flash mixed with Venom. I probably still have the drawings somewhere in a notebook
DC has been real hard into the multiverse recently, but rather than a grab bag of characters (which I love don’t get me wrong) the more interesting thing is when two or three specific universes team up Like Earths One Two and Three for instance A story where the Silver Age Ultraman, Golden Age Superman, and Silver Age Superman are forced to team up (and not necessarily to the cheesy standards of the Silver Age) I could see the same thing with Riddler, Kingpin, and The Big Question How would two villains deal with an amalgamation of themselves? What comedy could come out of it? What conflicts would they have? What schemes would they cook up
Fusions we should've got in no particular order Thor and Superman Hulk and Doomsday Flash and Quicksilver Jason Todd and Cable Dr.Doom and Sinestro Jean Gray (pheonix) and Starfire
It would be interesting if more studios did this stuff these days. Like if the marvel 616 universe got sucked into the dragon ball universe. Whole art style changes into a mix of western and eastern art. Seeing buu fight knull. Beerus fight gorr. Quicksilver vs dyspo from the pride troopers. Jiren vs gladiator. Fangs and Dracula team up against captain America. Goku vs blue marvel. Whis vs the beyonder. The one above all vs the Omni king.
Wow. Have a few of them comics. Seen some of the characters in guest or cross overs. But how many comics titles did they make. It's makes my collation look small. Great historic of amalgam comic and universe. 👍👏😊
IDK why some of y'all think this was "stupid". A little silly maybe. Even then it's not that silly. I always thought it was a great concept. I'd love to see a redo of this as well
33:50 There is a follow up series called All Acess! There are new crossovers in it and STrangefate survived and trys to bring back Amalgam Universe! In the End, Franklin Richards saves the amalgam Universe and gives them a place in a Pocket Universe the 10 years old boy created!
Zaeim Al-Shayatin, Leader of the Devils (Leader + Ra's Al Ghul). He discovered a substance called Lazarus Gamma, whichs keeps him from aging but renders his skin green and enlarges his head.
I wish they rebooted it, we could get a lot of new cool stuff like - SAGA OF THE IMMORTAL SWAMP-HULK - AUTHORITY OF X - I haven't read any other superhero comics in 20 years so i don't know
Uhm... When Cap and Bats faced off... They danced a bit...sizing each other up. Bats admitted Cap would win a fight...thus avoiding their fight. Winner=Captain America. Not Bat-Man.

Nice
love this
The Amalgam Universe so perfectly encapsulates just how wonderful and silly comics can be.
I know right 😂
It's stupid, cheesy, and completely ridiculous and dear god do I love it.
Indeed, imagine bringing it back now
Bro take a Big Cup of *Sit Yo Ass Down,* the Amalgam Universe was freakin' Awesome.
Dang, Professor X seemed to have been part of so many more amalgamations than everyone else!
yes
quite true
Well, Bruce Wayne was two distinct characters...
@@Awestefeld6612 Yeah, and Professor X was part of multiple different amalgamations. Pretty crazy.
He has all of their power and knowledge, but none of their hair

It's unlikely but a movie adaptations of the Amalgamation universe would really break the box office.

I'm impressed! You even talk about the Secret Crisis of the Infinity Hours. Underrated channel.

Thank you man every amalgam universe videos never tells us this much
you're welcome. Thank you for watching
true
Agree
A Batman/Wolverine amalgam character is going to be absolutely terrifying to street criminals. LOL
Damn never knew about it! Great video!
For the most part, the amalgamation were pretty inspired.
yep. at first I thought it was quite cheezy, but after research I have seen a lot of collabiration on a lot of its details
I want these characters back. They were different, they were fresh, and they were amazing.
@@supercomicgirl6425 facts
Yep
Funny Marvel vs DC event was my first comics and then I followed with these Almagam comics. I believe I might still have these at my parents house 😅
There was nothing like living through this period, right as the crash was obliterating the hobby.

This series was amazing back in the day. I loved these stories. I kind of wish it could have kept going.
Yeah me too
yea me too
This vid is totally fantastic!
Thank you for this video. This crossover event was huge at the time. I never knew it was so complex. I think Wolverine/Batman would scare me the most.

If only this Universe could've stayed
They could still recreate this universe by saying that when both universes were separated,this universe was recreated and isolated into a pocket dimension or something.
Man they need to make a animated film of this. It will be wicked. I know they won't be able to do it live action. It will cost way to much money . But a animated film would be awesome

My most all time favorite super hero fiction comic character 💚
I really wish that marvel and dc will come together and gives a 5 season amination of this masterpiece
totally agree
yes they should it would be great for dc and marvel!.
This universe looks awesome, I'd like to see a movie of this

Fascinating stuff, Loved the Amalgam Universe. Gone way too Soon. Hopefully it makes a Comeback.
Dark claw looks sick
make a animated stories of this universe. And action figures. bring it back the AMALGAM UNIVERSE
Deathstroke+Taskmaster would be great
I’d like to see Lobo + Punisher
that would be really cool
I want The Silver Lantern! Silver Surfer and Green Lantern would be sick.
totally agree
Amalgam universe is the universe we truly wanted.
Yep agree
I love Mary Jane's Insect Queen costume from Spider-Boy. I wish it would make it into the main ASM comic.
Amazing
thank you
Very cool never saw this comic before!
I love it . I remember this as a kid hilarious.
Amalgam Universe exists.
DC and Marvel Fanboys and Fangirls: That's illegal!
It was Brilliant storytelling,and world building just make the movie already.
Characters, that in hindsight, would have been cool
Captain Carrot & Spidrr-Ham
Talia al Ghul & Black Wisow
Harley Quinn & Deadpool.
yep that would be nice
Speed Demon Etrigan can only speak in rhymes...
I imagine he'd make a badass rapper...
possibly :)
hmmmm that's a good idea for an animated Etrigan in the future
BRO, I KNEW I WASN"T CRAZY!!! I REMEMBER THIS WHEN I WAS LITTLE!!!! (says he's not crazy, talks in all caps...and now third person.,..oof)
🎉🎉🎉🎉
I remember that some years ago, I came up with the creatively named Spider Flash. A mixture between the Flash and Spider Man. I also made the reverse Spider Flash which was Reverse Flash mixed with Venom. I probably still have the drawings somewhere in a notebook
You should share those ideas
DC has been real hard into the multiverse recently, but rather than a grab bag of characters (which I love don’t get me wrong) the more interesting thing is when two or three specific universes team up
Like Earths One Two and Three for instance
A story where the Silver Age Ultraman, Golden Age Superman, and Silver Age Superman are forced to team up (and not necessarily to the cheesy standards of the Silver Age)
I could see the same thing with Riddler, Kingpin, and The Big Question
How would two villains deal with an amalgamation of themselves? What comedy could come out of it? What conflicts would they have? What schemes would they cook up
Awesome job!!!
What a great storyline!!!.
Blaze Allen my New Favorite I never knew about 🤧🔥
I'm loving @DCNez and his 'DCeenz' (d-scenes😉)✌🏻

Jason Todd and Cable would be cool
It would be interesting if more studios did this stuff these days. Like if the marvel 616 universe got sucked into the dragon ball universe. Whole art style changes into a mix of western and eastern art. Seeing buu fight knull. Beerus fight gorr. Quicksilver vs dyspo from the pride troopers. Jiren vs gladiator. Fangs and Dracula team up against captain America. Goku vs blue marvel. Whis vs the beyonder. The one above all vs the Omni king.
Wow. Have a few of them comics. Seen some of the characters in guest or cross overs. But how many comics titles did they make. It's makes my collation look small. Great historic of amalgam comic and universe. 👍👏😊
thank you
5:46 look at super soldier pant
I would merge Wolverine, Deathstroke, and Taskmaster. I'd name him Logan Wilson aka Weapon X: The Terminator.
cool
I would love to have Action Figures of so many of these Characters.
that would be awesome!
I remember this time vividly. The idea was so promising and fascinating, but the results were dreadful, and that's being generous
IDK why some of y'all think this was "stupid". A little silly maybe. Even then it's not that silly. I always thought it was a great concept. I'd love to see a redo of this as well
It is a great concept
I thought the silver racer had the worst design until the literal next image of Dr. Doomsday
THORION! Great amalgam (the sillier amalgams are always brought up not the cooler ones)
Give us this tv show or animated series that would be awesome
"Mandarinestro"
Mandarinestro is one of the best names. LOL
Now they brought it back it seems they are hinting to bring it to live action or animated series or movies or video games
I sure hope so
33:50 There is a follow up series called All Acess!
There are new crossovers in it and STrangefate survived and trys to bring back Amalgam Universe!
In the End, Franklin Richards saves the amalgam Universe and gives them a place in a Pocket Universe the 10 years old boy created!
Zaeim Al-Shayatin, Leader of the Devils (Leader + Ra's Al Ghul). He discovered a substance called Lazarus Gamma, whichs keeps him from aging but renders his skin green and enlarges his head.
The name of the super soldier should have been Steve kent
This is perfect of MCU and DC movies
It would be cool if they did this in the movies.
true
I would like to see an amalang movie
that would be great
I Love Amalgam Comics
cool
I wish they rebooted it, we could get a lot of new cool stuff like
- SAGA OF THE IMMORTAL SWAMP-HULK
- AUTHORITY OF X
- I haven't read any other superhero comics in 20 years so i don't know
I have the original print of this. The story about the brothers etc. was pretty good for the time.
I would like to see Batman: The Doom that Came to Gotham world.
I enjoyed this comic series
me too
Loved these books.
They should have done more with this
Someone did a custom Wonder Spidey with big muscles for a Toyfare Contest of October, '97.
I own all but 4 series 2 comics and the TPB of series 2(it’s a 100+$ on eBay ) this is my all time favorite comic universe of all.
awesome!
Ithonk that dare have influence of black cat’s backstory too
I loved amalgam universe
Madame Sapphire was a mix of Madame Masque and Star Sapphire.
The only universe with two designations. It's also known as Earth 962, in the Marvel databases.
Uhm... When Cap and Bats faced off... They danced a bit...sizing each other up.
Bats admitted Cap would win a fight...thus avoiding their fight.
Winner=Captain America. Not Bat-Man.
He admit he can win, but he also said its gonna take a long while for that
but at the same time neither wanted the fight
true
Can see the amalgam cinematic universe as a last result from both sides. Still would be interesting
3:03 An amalgamation of Martian Manhunter and Jean Grey?😯😱
