Hey Red, how are you?
I recently started re-reading the Initiative, and the sheer ammount of characters in the book inspired me to find equivalents in DC that would fit NAC. I haven't done it with every single characters, and there are characters that you have used already, but just did this for fun, and wanted to share it with you. Also, I know you probably won't get back to Amalgam at least until you're done with Absolute DC, so this isn't a request for right now or anything.
With that said, here is what I came up with:
The Initiative Project (Initiative + Project 7734)
Steel Gauntlet (Gauntlet + Sergent Steel)
Anaglyph (3-D Man II + Rorsrach II)
Haze (Cloud 9 + Saphire)
Pain (Trauma + Mirabai)
Hardshell (Hardball + Bombahell)
Marksman (Annex + Codename: Assasin)
Dr. Gorilla (Gorilla Girl + Dr. Zaius)
Isotope (Geiger + Jillian "Cowgirl " Pearlman)
Samurai (Dragón Lord + Bushido)
Predator (Bengal + Manhunter Kirk DePaul)
Lagoon Girl (Komodo + Lagoon Boy)
Paladin* (Crusader + Icon)
Molecule Nine (Red Nine + Molecule)
Shadow Five (Shadow Initiative + Inferior Five)
Blimpball (Butterball + The Blimp)
Johnny Merry (Johnny Guitar + Merryman)
Doctor Feather (Doctor Sax + White Feather)
Slaughter Man (Salughter Boy + Awkwardman)
Sunbunny (Sunstreak + Dumb Bunny)
*Initially I thought of amalgamating Crusader with Bloodwynd since I fit the charcters had some similar backstory, but then I remembered he was already with Morbius. Icon is still a solid choice, and you can have Rocket Ring (Freedom Ring + Rocket) as his sideckick.
So that's all, and thank you for taking the time to read this. Have a nice day!
Alright, thank you for the comment and the list. I’m kinda sorta done with New Amalgam? Maybe one day I’ll revisit, but no promises. Have a good day.
Hey, do you remember a team lead by Spider-man called the Outlaws?
No…?
It was a team made up of reformed villains whose members were Sandman, Rocket Racer, the Prowler, the Puma, the Will O' the Wisp and Spider-Man lead it.
Ok cool, thnx
