Format
- Name [DC Character / Marvel Character]
- Notes, comments, and blah-de-blah. BKS
If more than one character from a publisher is merged, they are separated by
commas. A "?" indicates doubt, of course. "[]" is short
for "[? / ?]". If the source is simply "[DC]" or "[Marvel]",
the character is not obviously merged, though he or she may be changed
(e.g., Doc Ock.). "None", "both", and "various"
are self-explanatory. After that is a brief discussion of the character and
the merging.
Glossary
- DCU, MU, AU
- DC Universe, Marvel Universe, and Amalgam Universe.
- Elements
- Details, or things that are thematically related to a character, without
necessarily being actual parts of the original character's myth. E.g., The
Barrow is the Batcave crossed with Wolverine elements,
because wolverines live in barrows. The superhero Wolverine has never had
a secret Barrow-Cave, however.
- Portmanteau
- A name formed by combining two others. E.g., "Doctor Doomsday". Obviously very common in Amalgam
comics.
- Notes
- This is a listing of Amalgam characters who appear in the non-canon trading
cards, as they are absent in Jonathan Woodward's otherwise complete Who's
Who in Amalgam.
