Having recently gotten involved in FASERIPPER's Marvel game on Roll20, where character generation was performed by creating a gestalt of two existing Marvel characters to get one new one, I took the opportunity to brainstorm lots of crazy mergers. While it was fun, I really like the gestalts of the Marvel/DC Amalgam Universe where two whole universes were mashed together. So, just for the fun of it, I'm going to use this thread to create a new Amalgam Universe one (or more) character at a time. Feel free to join me in posting your own amalgamation gestalts; and no need to limit yourself to just Marvel and DC, either. This is our own Amalgam and can be a mash up of multiple universes. Amalgam's Doctor Strangefate also showed that you can combine more than two characters by combining Dr. Strange, Dr. Fate, and Charles Xavier, so... go nuts.

My favorite amalgamations were those who took characters that were noticeably or even radically different from one another to get an interesting new character. Good examples: Ghost Rider + Flash = Speed Demon, or Storm + Wonder Woman = Amazon.
Bad examples: The Fantastic Four were merged with the Challengers of the Unknown, which were essentially the Fantastic Four without powers to get the Challengers of the Fantastic, or Orion who was a New God + Thor who is an Asgardian god to get Thorion. Mind you, I don't mean those were actually bad ideas, but rather just illustrating how my preference for more unusual gestalts works. Thorion and Challengers of the Fantastic were excellent in their own ways.

Anyhow, without dragging this out any further, I'll start with .

Claws: UN (100) edged damage.
Tail: Doreen possesses a prehensile tail which she can wrap around foes with up to MN strength.

Animal Communication - Squirrels: UN (100) ability to talk to squirrels by making squirrel noises. She can understand them and they understand her. She does not control the squirrels directly, but can convince them to do what she asks. Squirrels seem to favor her requests, however, and often risk their lives for her.
Animal Companion: Through an unknown means, Doreen has the ability to create a special bond with one squirrel at a time, boosting that squirrel's intelligence significantly above animal level (Typical Reason). Her first companion was the lovable Stinky-Joe, but after his tragic demise, she has adopted Tippy Toe.

Martial Arts B and E

CONTACTS
Tippy Toe.

BACKGROUND
Upon learning that Krypton was about to explode, Doreen's father Zor-L sent her to Earth in a rocket ship launched at the same time as her infant cousin. There, her natural mutant powers to communicate with small rodent-like creatures as well as her claws and tail, would be augmented by Earth's yellow sun. After establishing herself as her own hero as Squirrel Power Girl and having many adventures apart from her likewise super-powered cousin, Doreen survived the apparent loss of her entire universe during the Incursion of Infinite Earths storyline. Although she remembers her past life on her own world, her history in the new universe is not remembered by anyone else. She also has a counterpart in this new universe whose appearance and powers are noticeably different from her own despite their shared origins on planet Krypton. Most notably, Doreen is a Kryptonian mutant and possessed powers as a young girl even before she was sent to Earth while her counterpart does not. Despite all her power, Doreen spends much of her time in her favorite city park, watching over her squirrel friends, however, her desire and willingness to help others has taken her all over the world and even into space to fight against seemingly impossible odds and yet always triumph in the end.

BACKGROUND
Recruited by the Monster Intelligentsia, millionaire playboy senior officer veteran Bruce Ross agreed to act as their agent in what he believed to be a heroic campaign against crime. He did so to avenge the death of his beloved daughter, an event which not only permanently traumatized him but led him to resign his commission with a second class honorable discharge and train his mind and body so that he could become a vigilante. In his training he exhausted all of his wealth, becoming a homeless person.

The Monster Intelligentsia exposed him to the Gamma Pit, a strange pool filled with the blood of a dragon resembling lava. Immersion in the Gamma Pit created Red Bat and conferred all of his powers other than the utility belt. It also permanently split Bruce Ross and Red Bat into their separate lives and forms as per the Alter Ego power listed.

After several successful battles against villains Ross realized that the Monster Intelligentsia were in fact an appallingly evil and powerful evil super-team who had simply manipulated him to use him as a super-weapon. Their attacks on other criminals led by him were their way to eliminate or cripple all their competition.

In a final extremely violent confrontation with the Monster Intelligentsia, Red Bat apparently killed all of the villain team's members. After finally recovering from the traumatic Karma loss he suffered during that battle he emerged as an independent, violent, vigilante. He resolved never again to kill an opponent no matter the provocation, but frequently tells his foes, "you'll be surprised what you can live through."

Didn't Ross become Red hulk anyways?

Yes he did however in this version he is also combined with Batman.

Is there any chance of seeing a picture or at least a detailed description of what Squirrel Power Girl looks like?

By the way, does she have the ability to defeat Thanoseid the way Squirrel defeats Thanos in the Marvel Universe?
