Awesome Amalgams - the actual draft

[Michael Heide Heide Finition Find all posts View Profile Close Michael Heide]

Welcome to the "Awesome Amalgams" draft. The rules are as usual, five characters per player, one gets drafted per round, it's a fixed order that goes back and forth, after that, we vote on the winner...

BUT...

the characters we draft are Amalgams of already existing comic book characters. Which means that each character we pick is a combination of two (not more, not less) established characters. Doesn't matter if they are from the same company, continuity or superhero team. Doesn't matter if they are not. Comic book characters means that the two ingredients of your characters have to have appeared in at least one comic book each. Comic book includes mangas, manhwas, bandes dessinées, comic book adaptations of movies, video games, tv shows, what have you. As long as you can prove that each of your characters has appeared on a printed page (no webcomics, I have to draw the line somewhere) with a speech bubble connected to their heads, they are game. Of course, each ingredient can be used only once, so if someone has created a Sinestro/Archie amalgam, you can't create a Sinestro/Spawn amalgam. Or a Spawn/Archie amalgam.

It's not allowed to just use an Amalgam that has already been used in a comic book. That limits creativity too much. So that means no Lobo the Duck, no Spider-Hulk, no Batman-as-a-Green-Lantern.
However... you can use one of those characters (since technically, they are characters that have appeared in a comic book) and mesh them with one other character. As long as it's awesome.

Because in the end, we'll only vote on awesomeness of the characters. Not overall team, not theme, not power, just how awesome the characters are.

Okay, well since we're going ahead with this, and I'm first on the List I guess I choose first?

I merge The Joker, with The Joker.

If Heath doesn't work out, I'll make that JSA Liberty Files Joker instead.

GL 2814, you're on the clock.

I guess we should keep the tradition of PMing the person who drafts after you, once you made your pick. It keeps the waiting period between picks shorter.

Ok I'm confused with Caleb's pick, Joker Joker.

[Caleb Lancaster The Time Traveler Find all posts View Profile Close Caleb Lancaster]

You should know my team's Name, Caleb's Pure Breeds.
They're all two Characters from Different universes, who are the same. Batman/Batman. Superman/Superman. Green Lantern/Green Lantern.

Ok I'm confused with Caleb's pick, Joker Joker.

He merged two different versions of the same character. The Joker from the Diniverse (who has appeared in comic books like Mad Love) and the Joker from Elseworld story Liberty Files, which is completely staying true to the rules. While the Joker per se is awesome, I can't say that this draft has already reached the pinnacle of awesomeness. There's still room for more awesomeness.

Do we need pictures of our characters? Cuz I won't be able to find any online, I'll have to scan them all.

It's not necessary to post pictures. But it helps proving that the characters have appeared in comic books.
