^{A "Better" New York (missing smoking)}

Sam chuckled at Spider-Man's concern and gave him a thumbs up but didn't really move away. She couldn't help but poke Norman's side a couple of times as Fisk continued to explain about his intentions with Norman and why he was still alive. "So he's not always like this? Like... what, he wakes up and he's just good 'ol Norman Osborn and not this weird goblin guy?" She couldn't really remember much about the Green Goblin of their universe. By the time she had arrived in New York, he had already been dealt with. She turned to Danny and squinted. "If memory serves correct, didn't you handle Green Goblin? Was he like this?"

"Daredevil... from Hell's Kitchen, right? He's a pretty chill guy, shame you killed him." Sam had encountered him every now and then when she found herself in the neighborhood. Though, it was more often that they met when she was just Sam and not Araltus. She whistled as she finally stood up and dusted herself off. "As good a hero backstory as any, I guess. I can't really judge since I wasn't exactly in a much different position than you. It was more of a personal grudge than anything heroic or noble when I became one of your problem spiders." Sure, his face pissed her off to hell and back but it wasn't like he killed her favorite ramen guy.

She nodded along as Danny explained it more thoroughly but Fisk didn't seem the least bit concerned. As he said, considering everything he was, it didn't seem like anything could take him down. Not even a firebreathing green goblin mutation could even put a scratch on him. "Yeah, I feel like if anyone punched you, spider or not, their hands would literally break." Followed by a long pause as she considered testing out the theory. After a second or two, she shook her head. Anyway, even if you can handle them yourself, we're kinda stuck here so we might as well help. I was promised a fight."

"Name's Araltus, by the way. What do we call you? 'Cause buddy over there is already Spider-Man. If you're also using that alias, it might get confusing fast."

^{Home Sweet Home...? What...?}

It was like talking to a completely different person... or well, she supposed this Fisk was a different person. There was no way she was hearing that Kingpin would have banned nicotine and tobacco! That man smoked more than her! "Sorry, cigs are... banned?" She had to say again in a moment of disbelief. She remembered so many times that someone had tried to enact a ban on cigarettes or a policy heavily discouraging it through higher taxes imposed on it, but to successfully do it? It would take a very powerful man indeed. "I mean, I guess that's fair. Doctors and environmentalists hate it."

Look, just because she didn't follow guidelines didn't mean she was unaware!

Sam watched as Spider-Man came in to join them, hurriedly trying to smooth over whatever aggression Sam could have incurred in the short amount of time he wasn't there. Before they could rightly respond, every hair on Sam's body went up. In an almost split second, the Green Goblin had risen and he breathed fire straight into Fisk's face. Oh. That was definitely Wilson Fisk, there was just no mistaking it. He got it all the way down to that pissed expression. It was kind of nostalgic.

"Damn, now that's a hit, slugger." She couldn't help but whistle. She was pretty sure she heard the crunch of his bones breaking from where she had been standing. For a moment, Sam thought he was as good as dead before seeing Green Goblin's chest still heaving. The villains here must have been sturdy as all hell to match Fisk's physique.

Curiously, Sam moved closer to the unconscious villain. "Yeah, yeah, different universe. We fight a lot there, you know, Kingpin and shit. Anyway, something about looking for spider allies and we got dropped here— how is this guy not dead?" Seemingly dismissive of the actual task they had at hand, the shadow spider knelt down to inspect more of the Green Goblin.

AMALGAM - Hour of X

@Polaris North Looks good, only thing to note is I've got Sinister already used in Psimon Sinister.

@Omega Man

Ohhh shoot I missed that. I'll just change him to Psimon Sinister! Unless you had other plans for the kind of villain he is? Or in this case, if it would break it timeline-wise?

^{Mission: Idle | Interactions: @PaulHaynek}

Shavis arrived at their assigned meeting place decked out with more weaponry. The spoils of the battle she had collected had now been permanently added to her arsenal with one sword sheathed on her waist and the spear placed across her back. She gave them a wave of greeting before settling into the ranks of her fellow reavers.

Teleportation wasn't something Shavis had ever experienced before. So when Arteus had transported them through the use of his magic, the hairs on the back of her neck stood and she balled her fists as they reconstituted in Cambridge. Shavis let out a huff as she lightly shook her entire body, reminiscent of how felines did after they got wet.

However, some things appeared to be amiss. With the arrival of a frantic apostle who took away both Tethys and Grisha while Alexandra was ordered to take them somewhere to wait for further orders. Shavis's ear twitched as she tried to listen to more of what happened to this mysterious fire that had claimed the life of a Marquis. She didn't really know who that was nor cared about positions, but it sounded like a big deal.

Still, Shavis followed behind the others. As curious as she was about the current state of the area, she knew it wouldn't be a good idea to be caught away from the other reavers. As far as she knew, the relationship between the Church and Eon Tower was rocky at best. Instead of taking a seat, however, the belua began to pace across the room— too excited to really sit down and relax.

The quiet waiting room was disturbed by a sudden knock on the door only for another acolyte to enter. For a moment, Shavis thought that he was here to take Alexandra to deal with whatever was happening with the Marquis; however, it was soon revealed that it was just another magus.

"And so our numbers grow again." Shavis chuckled as she gave the new member, Morgan, a wave.

Her ears twitched as Einer spoke. Curiously, she moved over to her fellow Reaver and leaned against the sofa. "Miasma? Here?" She looked at Alexandra for a moment before turning back to Einer. "Think that's the cause for the incident earlier?"

AMALGAM - Hour of X

This is what I had in mind. I tried to blend Damage and Havok as much as I could in the history and I think I did well enough. Though I think I fell short on how many Amalgams were actually involved in his backstory XD

Grant "Reactor" Summers

DC/Marvel Characters Used: Damage + Havok

Name: Grant Summers
Alias: Reactor
Age: 24

Powers:

• Energy Conversion: Grant passively absorbs cosmic energy which his body can convert in various ways. He is also shown to be able to absorb energy from other sources but runs the very real risk of having an inner meltdown due to the high amount of energy in his body.
  
  • Superhuman Physiology: Passively, the energy that he converts is directly placed into his body to enhance it. This translates into having superhuman strength, durability, and reflexes- though the level of which is entirely dependent on how much energy he has.
  • Plasma Generation: He can convert the energy into a burst of plasma energy. It is typically circularly released around him unless he concentrates in a certain direction.
  • Energy Generation: Alternatively, Grant can release concussive blasts.

Weaknesses:

• Discharge: Grant must release energy regularly to prevent him from going into an internal meltdown. Should the energy he collected reach his maximum capacity, his body will immediately release it in both a destructive wave of plasma and concussive energy akin to that of an explosion.
• Preparation: Grant typically does not start any excursion at full energy due to having to discharge it during downtimes. This severely cripples him until he can collect energy during the fight.
• Control: Grant's powers are also tied to emotion. If he doesn't control his emotions well, he runs the risk of not being able to control his powers.

Team Affiliation: Titan X
Personality: Even-tempered, Confident, Responsible, Cold, Patient
Appearance: Reactor's suit is fastened with a device that can track how much energy he has currently collected. This allows him and everyone else to keep an eye on him. However, aside from that, it is fashioned in much of the same way as the rest of the team.

BRIEF Bio: Grant Summers cannot confidently tell anyone about his past before he turned ten years of age. All that was said to him was that he was involved in a freak plane accident that had allegedly cost the lives of both of his parents. He was then taken to State Home for Foundlings that was owned by Nathaniel Templar. Unbeknownst to anyone, Nathaniel Templar began to test and experiment on the young Summers child due to his latent X-Gene. However, Grant showed incredible instability when his X-Gene was forcibly awakened which led to an explosion within the orphanage.

Impressed by the power that Grant showed, Sinister Knight placed psychic blocks into Grant to prevent him from activating his powers and causing another destructive wave that would catch the attention of other heroes or villains. However, Grant would eventually escape from the clutches of Sinister Knight and find himself in the care of Riley and Norman Summers. While Grant acted as somewhat of a replacement for their late son, he was thankful for the love and care they had shown him.

When Grant turned twenty, he had a chance encounter with Ahmet Adbdol— a man who was fused with Grant's DNA so that he could contain the God Gog. This encounter led to Grant being kidnapped by Ahmet so that he could power Ahmet's absorption. He was eventually saved by the Titan X and, due to Ahmet's tampering, the psychic blocks on his powers were deactivated. Ever since then, Grant has joined the Titan X.

Supporting cast/characters: Nathaniel Templar (Sinister Knight [Mr. Sinister + Templar]) ; Ahmet Abdol (Ahmet + Gog)
Amalgam Universe Notes: [anything in your history that should be noted]

AMALGAM - Hour of X

Oh shoot, for sure! I'll start working on a CS right away. Ohboi faceclaims though.

AMALGAM - Hour of X

Damage and Havok are two of my favorites, so I'm game for seeing this get fleshed out. Our characters could secretly have the same dad or mother, one could be adopted, etc. I was thinking only one parent would die in my story and out of grief put the child up for adoption before going and having another one with a new partner.

@Omega Man

For sure! I am angling more towards Reactor being the one that got adopted out eventually so I can run with Grant's storyline of looking for his biological family and stuff like that. Oohh maybe when the parent left and found a new partner, Reactor was conceived but eventually was left at a foster home after some issues. That way, he'd still be the younger sibling and keeping a solid plot line with Scott.

Then probably got found when he accidentally "blew up" because his meta-human genes activated at a very inopportune time XD

AMALGAM - Hour of X

Hi, hi!

I wanted to throw my interest into the ring. I was considering Grant Emerson (Damage) combined with Alexander Summers (Havok) - their powers work pretty much the same though so I was thinking of them just absorbing energy, converting it to either a concussive or plasma blast by choice?

Could be interesting to have it so that he is still related to Scott but was raised in a foster family instead. Not entirely sure on the name yet, probably going to be Reactor LOL

^{Home Sweet Home...? What...?}

Sam shrugged. She supposed Anansi did have a point. No matter what, she was still chosen to get bitten by a spider and everything that entailed. Well, she supposed now she just wanted to make sure to keep the Spider-God on his toes when it came to her. Anansi was talking about manners as if he didn't just kidnap them and throw them into a fight for their life to protect some guy who gave them powers without even wanting any of it, but okay, sure.

It wasn't like Sam was given much of a chance to comment on it before the portals appeared beneath her.

This was the guy that was lecturing them about manners? The nerve.

The familiar bustle of the concrete jungle known as New York City was a welcome reprieve. Finally, they were sent back which meant she could continue on with her life or something along those lines. However, another look around and something seemed... off. Everyone seemed to have a pep to their step, unlike the sneers she would often see on the New York City dwellers. Something so distinctly different despite being one small thing— this was not the New York City she called home.

Then the billboards all seemed to be signed off by Fisk International and something boiled under her skin. "Of course he drops us in a place where Fisk is even more successful than he already is." Sam threw away her cigarette on the ground and snuffed it with a stomp of her heel as she lowered her mask to fully cover her face. "Dunno if you've dealt with that guy but he's a-"

A roar and an explosion cut her off and Sam's head snapped towards where it had originated. Osborn? Fisk?

Fisk...?

"Oh you've gotta be fucking with me." Sam muttered to herself as she watched the fight before them. There was a certain method of cruelty and carnage that this Fisk, this Spider-Man, was displaying that pinged something in Sam's brain. This was still Fisk. She had fought him enough times to know that. "Who's bright idea was it to give the boulder spider powers? He could already snap a regular man in half before. Now look at him." She gestured to how brutally Fisk had ripped apart this goblin man's wings with little to no remorse.

A part of her wanted to fight him; see how she measured up on Fisk on Spider Steroids. First thing's first though. Sam turned to Danny and gave him a two-fingered salute before heading over to the fight. She landed close to Fisk, just a little bit out of his punching range. An irritating beep of her webshooters alerted her to its rapidly depleting ammunition. Right. Of course. She began adjusting her webshooters while talking.

"Need help there big guy?" She gestured to the Goblin who was still writhing in pain from just going through an unexpected amputation. Her spider-senses told her that the fight wasn't exactly over, but she couldn't help but talk. Maybe it would catch Fisk off-guard enough so she could witness a sucker punch. "Then again, looks like you got it all under control, Fisk."
