History: (Infinity Wars#3) - Believing that the universe had become too unwieldy, Requiem (Gamora) used the Infinity Gems to fold the cosmos in half, creating "Warp World", in which two people were merged to form one. One of those pairs was Emma Frost and Wolverine, who merged to form the eccentric and ruthless business guru Diamond Patch.
(Infinity Wars#4 (fb) ) - Diamond Patch once stabbed a Watcher, learning that he was fated to one day merge with the Phoenix Force.
(Infinity Warps#2/4) - Diamond Patch addressed a
conference, outlining how he'd built his business by knowing himself and
living by the motto ""I'm the best at what I do, and what I do is
gorgeous". After receiving rapturous applause, he left the stage, where
he was met by a beautiful woman who offered to get a drink with him in
the lobby bar. He accepted, and she told him how much his work had meant
to her. She then asked to see his claws; not wanting to scare the bar's
patrons, they went to the roof, where Diamond Patch revealed he'd
recognized her as the shapeshifting villain Deathstrique. He slashed her
with his claws and kicked her off the roof. After lamenting that he'd
been late to his lover, he went to see his men, who'd captured Fire
Belly, an associate of the criminal Dragon King. Fire Belly claimed he'd
been about to get take the fall for Deathstrique's attempted hit, and
begged for protection; Diamond Patch slashed him with his claws and
learned he was telling the truth. He welcomed Fire Belly into the fold,
and planned to get even with the Dragon King...
(Infinity Wars#3) - Having escaped the universal merger, Loki came to Warp World to undo what had been done. He came calling at the X-Mansion, where Doopool alerted Diamond Patch to his presence. Loki claimed to have come to help; Diamond Patch stabbed him and head his mind, confirming that Loki was telling the truth...then slammed the door in his face.
(Infinity Wars#4) - Diamond Patch returned after having a drink, which he needed to clear his mind after being in Loki's. After inviting Loki in, he went over what had happened to the universe - only for their conversation to be interrupted by the cosmic entity Devondra. Diamond Patch and Loki stabbed the creature to death, and had another drink. Diamond Patch recalled the time he'd learned he would one day merge with the Phoenix Force, and resolved to send a telepathic "massage in a bottle" to himself the next time he stabbed a Phoenix user...and sure enough, on cue a Phoenix-empowered version of Wolverine appeared, and promptly split the unwilling Diamond Patch back into Wolverine and Emma Frost.
(Infinity Wars#6 - BTS) - A team of heroes used the Infinity Gems to preserve Warp World within the Soul Gem while also restoring their world to its natural state, recreating Diamond Patch and all other inhabitants of his world.
(Soldier Supreme Annual#1/1) - As part of Deathstrique,
Stane Odinson, and Dormammu Red's plot against the heroes of Warp World,
Diamond Patch and the X-Brotherhood were pitted against an unfamiliar
foe - Imus the Champion!

For your convenience, a guide to the Infinity Warps
featured in this profile:
Diamond Patch = Emma Frost + Wolverine (with an emphasis
on his "Patch" alias)
Doopool = Doop

Dragon King = Kingpin + Steel
Serpent

Fire Belly = Toad + Pyro
X-Brotherhood = X-Men + Brotherhood of Evil Mutants

I'm not really sure who Diamond Patch's lover is a mashup of - she's obviously half Jean Grey, but I can't figure out what the other half is from.
The other two members of the X-Brotherhood are not named,
but are clearly combinations of Angel/Sauron and Beast/Juggernaut.
