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, and the second of which is Mary Marvel Girl. Mary Marvel Girl is simultaneously the most in canon Supergirl in the Amalgam Universe while also being the least justified. First off, to allow Mary Marvel Girl to count, you first have to allow Mary Marvel counting as a Supergirl, which we did back with Earth-5. In addition to this, Mary Marvel Girl is also just one of many forms that Dial HUSK takes in her two appearances (X-Patrol and Exciting X-Patrol) and Dial HUSK is obviously meant to be an amalgamation of Dial H for Hero and the mutant Husk. Once we get past agreeing that this is technically a Supergirl, we are met with the only Supergirl who appears in an issue of the Amalgam line of books but even still she only shows up for 4 panels at the end of X-Patrol. In these panels we are met with a character who is of course an amalgamation of Mary Marvel and Marvel Girl. Her personality seems mostly derived from the cheerful kiddish nature of Mary Marvel, while also possessing “the wisdom of Minerva” as well as probably the rest of Mary Marvel’s pantheon of goddesses. Her powers mostly present as telekinetic and are visualized as pink lightning. Otherwise we never see this character again and don’t learn more about her.
As with all my Supergirl in the Multiverse posts, this is my own artwork. Mary Marvel Girl stands in the center of the panel with her right arm outstretched towards the viewer and her left hand against her head. There are traces of pink energy exploding out from either hand. The background is an ambiguous green space and the top right corner has a motif of Mary Marvel Girl’s symbol with a 496 on top of it.
