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. This week’s entry is not a canonical Amalgam character, but it is a fairly obvious amalgamation of Carol “Captain Marvel” Danvers and Kara “Supergirl” Danvers.
As we all know, Krypton was destroyed decades ago and a rocket with what was meant to be a survivor was sent to earth. This survivor didn’t survive the journey, but his DNA was used in the Super-Soldier program that brought us heroes like Super-Soldier and American Girl. What you may not know however, is that another survivor made it off the planet. This rocket didn’t go to earth and instead traveled in stasis for many years before landing on the planet Kree which was in the midst of the infamous Kree-Thanagar war. The young child grew up and was raised as a Kree and was given the name Kar-El. She would enlist and fight in the Kree-Thanagar war and would help lead her planet to victory moving her way up the ranks to captian. Now with the war over, Kar-El would look into her past and learn more about Krypton and hope to find her family. Unfortunately she instead finds the desolation of her home-planet and thinks all is lost when she picks up the trace of the other rocket that was sent to Earth. She follows after it but she instead finds the Super-Soldier that informs her of her predecessor’s fate. Instead of returning home she would work alongside the heroes of earth, maintaining her title of Captain. Captain Kar-El of Krypton would continue on as a quite Marvelous hero honoring her Kryptonian heritage.
As with all my Supergirl in the Multiverse posts, this is my own artwork. Captain Kar-El is walking towards the viewer with her eyes burning with heat vision. Behind her we see her space ship landed on a rooftop helipad and a cityscape in the background. The top right has a motif of the Captain’s symbol with a 496 on top of it.
