Amalgam Comics: 5 Marvel And DC Comic Characters Merged
Dr. Strange + Dr. Fate = Dr. Strangefate
Dr. Strangefate is the be-all and end-all of the Amalgam universe. He is so overpowered that I had to list his power and skill set below because the list is long. He is an important character, and responsible for setting the events of the Amalgam world in motion.
BIO
"Being the most powerful being in the Amalgam Universe, Doctor Strangefate would do anything to prevent it’s destruction. When the two keys controlled by access separate the two universes ( Marvel and DC), Dr. Strangefate refuses to let the world he has created get destroyed. Jade Nova, Skulk and White Witch were then recruited by Strangefate to prevent the separation, but the separation still happened. It was later shown that Strangefate survived and was deep within Doctor Strange’s psyche. He manipulated Strange to create cross-dimensional incursions. Batman and Access found out about the problems and attempted to stop it. Strangefate, in an effort to restore the Amalgam universe combined the X-Men and the Justice League of America and sent them to defeat Access. Access still survived and he defeated Doctor Strangefate. To make sure Strangefate would never threaten both of the worlds again, Doctor Strange stored the Amalgam Universe in a pocket dimension."

In conclusion, Amalgam made history by combining the two major comic publishers’ best known creations together. However, the series was hit or miss. Some stories and mergers had great action and origin stories, while others fell flat. These comics used to be hard to find, but can now easily be found on the internet at places like Amazon.
Could a collective merger ever happen again? Maybe. It would just have to be planned properly.
