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, Supermanta is an amalgamation of Marvel's Namor the Sub-Mariner (Namor McKenzie) and DC's Superman (Kal-El).

    Supermanta 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.

    While we did see a Kryptonian, the only one we did see was Supermanta, the only image of which is the main image here. Hence, I did not rehash the same image for use below in the Kryptonians subprofile.

CLARIFICATIONS:
Reality-79733's Supermanta should be distinguished from:

Atlantis

Atlantis was an underwater Earth continent that the infant Kryptonian Namor-El crashed into after he was rocketed from his home planet. Atlantis' king and queen found the infant and adopted him, raising him as one of the royal family until Namor-El reached adulthood, at which point Namor-El opted to become a liaison between Atlantis and the surface world.

Krypton

Krypton was the doomed extraterrestrial planet on which Namor-El was born.

Kryptonians

The Kryptonians were an aquatic alien race native to the planet Krypton. Before the planet Krypton met its doom, the infant Kryptonian Namor-El was rocketed from Krypton and he crashed onto Earth in the underwater continent of Atlantis. Adopted and raised by the royal family there, Namor-El ultimately grew up to become the liaison between Atlantis and surface world, using his Kryptonian powers as an ecological warrior.
