History:
(Wizard: The Guide to Comics I#71 - "Amalgamania: The Top 10 Amalgams 'Wizard' Wants to See" (fb) - BTS) - Logan West was trapped in a secret government lab, his memories stolen from him, when a lightning bolt struck the experimental tank he was being held in. His skeleton having already been laced with the metal Adamantium in a procedure that also granted him metallic claws, West was freed by the bolt, which also bestowed upon him superhuman speed, rapid healing factor and enhanced senses. Taking advantage of his newfound abilities, West exacted revenge on those who held him captive and stole his memories.

(Wizard: The Guide to Comics I#71 - "Amalgamania: The Top 10 Amalgams 'Wizard' Wants to See") - Escaping the facility, Logan West became America's top assassin while fighting to uncover the secrets of his past as the costumed Blade Runner.

Marvel characters are listed in regular, bold black type.
DC characters are listed in bold blue type.
Amalgam characters are listed in bold purple type.

    To clarify, Amalgam Comics didn't really exist beyond those seen in the few DC/Marvel cross-overs. The titles you don't recognize are amalgams of similar Marvel and DC comics--Snood.

    In case it's not obvious, Blade Runner is an amalgamation of Marvel's Wolverine (Logan/James Howlett) and DC's Flash (Wally West).

    Blade Runner is the product of an article in Wizard: The Guide to Comics I#71 in which the staff of the magazine came up with their own ideas for amalgamated characters.

CLARIFICATIONS:
Earth-79733's Blade Runner should be distinguished from:

Adamantium

Adamantium is a metal that was used to lace the skeleton of Logan West. The procedure also granted West razor-sharp Adamantium claws that extended from his forehands.
