The Amalgam Universe was born from the cross dimensional being known as Access during the pages of Marvel vs. DC back in 1996. This birthed a total of 24 one-shot comics spread across 2 waves that showed stories of characters that were amalgamations of characters from the DC and Marvel universes. The Amalgam universe has several numeric designations such as 1996, 962, 9602, and 496 as well as just being referred to as the Amalgamverse. My coverage of this universe will feature 5 entries for Supergirl in the Multiverse and my initial plan was to use some of these alternative number designations for each. However, to make categorizing them easier I will just be using what seems to be the most likely DC designation of 496.
As mentioned above, the Amalgam universe would take a character from the DC universe and one from the Marvel (sometimes more than 2 characters would merge). There are 2 canonical Amalgam characters that fit the Supergirl role, but I am also going to be putting together 3 of my own amalgamated Supergirls starting with Super-She-Hulk. This is obviously an amalgamation of Jen “She-Hulk” Walters and Supergirl, but I did base this specifically on the protoplasmic shape changing Matrix Supergirl, partly because these 2 characters appear together in a panel in the DC vs. Marvel crossover extravaganza, but also because I had a good idea for the character herself.
Everyone knows Mae Walters, she is one of the most famous super heroes of the West Coast, Super-Girl, and is often see helping out wherever she can with a friendly face. That is as long as you don’t make her angry, you won’t like her when she’s angry. When angered, Mae looses control of her protoplasmic form and she changes shape into the hulking aggressive monster known only as Super-She-Hulk!
As with all my Supergirl in the Multiverse posts, this is my own artwork. Super-Girl is shown in the foreground and behind her is her much larger, much angrier, Super-She-Hulk form that is crumbling the ground beneath her. The background has a pink-purple sky. There is a large yellow question mark on the left side of the page with the text “Is she HERO or is she MONSTER”. The top right corner has the symbol of Super-She-Hulk with a 496 on top of it.
