Soniklaw = Marvel sound villain Klaw plus DC sound villain Sonar (unless
DC also has a Sonic or Sonik). Vibranium is a sound-absorbing Marvel
metal.
Kultron = Kobra, DC cult-leader villain + Ultron, Marvel robot made of
indestructible adamantium
Vance Cosmic is an odd case, since there's also a 2099 Vance Cosmic in
Spider-Boy Team-Up who comes from Vance Astro + Cosmic Boy. I'd guess
this Vance Cosmic = the younger Vance Astro, in New Warriors, plus the
LEGION counterparts to Legion of Super-Heroes members: Phase, Dox, etc.
Deathborg = Marvel's Deathlok + DC's Cyborg. Promethium is a DC metal.
Black Vulture = Marvel's Vulture + DC's original Hawkman, I guess, who
used anti-gravity ninth metal to fly (or was his son who used ninth metal
armor named Black something?)
Chemodam = Chemo, living chemistry set enemy of the Metal Men
+ MODAM, Marvel's female "big head in a chair"
Quasimodox = Quasimodo, Marvel hunchback robot
+ Dox, founder of LEGION (note LEGION symbol on Quasimodox).

Unfortunately, there are no Braalian members of L.E.G.I.O.N. Also, he's
made of the fictional Inertron from LSH continuity.

Not quite. Vulture + Hawkman I + Black Condor, with Hawkman I only
contributing the Ninth Metal bit.

This is where Amalgam starts to fall apart for me... It's one thing to
play on the similarities between characters and present a clever merging of
their lives. Both Tony Stark and Hal Jordan had super-villainess lovers
(merged into Madame Sapphire) and understudies (the whole Green Guardsman
thing), and it made a lot of sense to smoosh them together.
But why would a character composed of Cyborg and Deathlok be a
super-villain? This is really forced. I guess it can be justified as a
throw-away reference, just one more Amalgam pun, but without some sort of
parallel between the characters, what's the point?
Feeling grouchy tonight,
Karl
This is not my sig, it's just something that I'm typing at the bottom of
my message. It's not in a file somewhere, getting appended to everything
I post -- it's really and truly complete improvisation. Wheee!

Understandably, as both Cyborg and Deathlok were by and large good guys
for most of their appearances. But, I guess the answer could be much like
the Age of Apocalypse (where some formerly very good X-men were awfully
mean) -- some events in the Amalgamverse were so different from regular
continuity that a few of the good guys were warped (and some of the bad
guys were un-warped, too, I think, though no examples come to mind).
Hey, did the merge Silver Samurai with that chick from the Oustiders
anywhere? That would be a toss-up on the good/bad angle.

Katana merged with Psylock to become Kokoro in the first wave. I think
Silver Samurai fled the Amalgamverse when he found out he was going to
be merged w/ Samurai Cat & fight the Teenage Radioactive Judo
Hampsturtles.
