Amalgam Universe Part 6

[glprime]

As promised, the Awesome Arach-Kid features in this evening's post. Mixing the abilities of Spider-Man with the impish charm of Superboy gives us...





The excellent Spider-Boy Team-Up has already been posted, so I'm laying out the other Spi-Boy feature.

So Cadmus Labs is dealing with the breakout from containment of Bizarnage, who as a mash-up character only has half the language impediment of Bizarro (namely confusion of pronouns, present indicative verbs, etc. but not the opposite value system).





Cadmus Labs: Where the Only True Science, is MAD Science. MUHAHAHAHAHA!



Sue: No time for your lame crush, Reed, I'm too busy being a badass, heroic secret agent. God, to think if I'd gone out with you in college. I'd be a tag-along lab assistant or something. Where's some aliens to shoot?

Spi-Boy heads off to the vehicle bay while passing Drs. Pym and Palmer arguing about macro vs. microscopic research fields. Doc Ock already has his wheels primed and ready.



*FLASHBACK!*





Radical!

But what about the fight with King Lizard? I don't care. More importantly, who was Octavius setting up Peter with?



"BZZZ BZZZBZ, BZZZ BZZZZ BZZ BZZZ BZZBZZ."
"What?"
"I said 'he looks delicious'."
"Uh..."
"I meant your mammalian sexual characteristics are quite attractive."
"Heh, so are yours."
"These are egg sacs."
"....Eeeeew."

Join us tomorrow for a look at one of the most confusing "legacy" Amalgam characters: SPEED DEMON.

Okay, Mary Jane as the insect Queen is awesome.

[shanejayell]

It's stories like this that make me wish Marvel and DC had kept these books going. *lol*

[aaron_bourque]

But then Spider-boy sold her powers to Nerophistoles!!!

[icon_uk]

Karl Kesel always has such fun when he gets to play with all these shiny toys! And Mike Wieringo seemed to be having a blast too!

[arbre_rieur]

My favorite part was the reveal of Spider-Boy's secret identity, where we learn that he took his creator Peter Parker's first name and General Ross's last name, making him... Pete Ross.

[falseaesop]

I thought they were going to at the time. What a foolish youth I was.

[foxhack]

Uh.

Okay, so Spider-Boy's like what, a year old, and Insect Queen looks to be mid 20s, early 30s.

OH MAH GAWD D:

[pyrotwilight]

Which may or may not play a part in all this Triumph of the Sentry story by Christopher Bendis.

[pyrotwilight]

Makes me wonder if there's also some Knockout thrown into the amalgam too.

[foxhack]

There could be. Had the Knockout / Superboy storyline been published when this happened?

[foxhack]

Also, I TOTALLY did EBIL!Reed's look towards the readers in that one page. XD

[pyrotwilight]

I assume, hadn't Knockout shown up in Superboy from the very first issue?

[pyrotwilight]

Twas highly amusing and went well together. Kinda like Super-Soldier.

[skalja]

I will never stop loving MJ's Insect Queen outfit. I wish she'd be in Spider-Boy Team-Up, but at least we find out they're engaged there!

Also: if we were to update Spider-Boy's origin to match Superboy's current origin a bit better ... does that mean that Norman Osborn is Spider-Boy's genetic donor?

[pyrotwilight]

The Green Skull probably would be. Though a Norman is fine too.

[punishermax]

The newest member of Public Enemy: BIZARNAGE

[foxhack]

No idea. My only exposure to the series was S_D, and I recall seeing some scans with her ages ago.

[foxhack]

What's really funny is how similar he looks to Anti-Venom.

[punishermax]

Fear of a Black Spider

[domino_blue]

Holy shit...I just got that....I can't believe I missed that.

[thokstar]

Wait, then how is the Hood of Prometheus involved?

[kingrockwell]

I, for one, don't care. I avoid Mark Robinson books as a rule!

[kingrockwell]

Yes.

[simiansyndicate]

Hey now, he had a great 6-ish run on Prince Victor, the Sub-Questioner! Of course, when paired with Will Ross' art, any writing is easy to overlook.

Oh yeah, Spider-Boy

[silverzeo]

When I see SB running on the wall like, I can't help but think the tune from the "Running in the 90s" with a little caption box with him saying "LoL Spider-Boy"
