History CompositeCharacter / ComicBooks

* Emperor Zheng Zu from the ''Master of Kung Fu'' tie-in to ''Comicbook/SecretWars2015'' is a combination of The Mandarin and Literature/FuManchu, Comicbook/ShangChi's usual father from the comics.

** The ''[[Comicbook/MightyAvengers2013 Captain Britain and the Mighty Defenders]]'' tie-in to ''Comicbook/SecretWars2015'' had Spider Hero, a ''different'' version of Hobie Brown who used technology to try and become the new Spider-Man after his world's Peter Parker was killed and eaten by the Inheritors.

* In ''Comicbook/AllStarSuperman'', the Unknown Superman of 4500 AD is a cross between Superman and the Comicbook/UnknownSoldier.

** Fury's codename and status as Wonder Woman's daughter come from the ''Comicbook/InfinityInc'' member Hippolya "Lyta" Trevor, but her real name is eventually revealed to be Donna, which is taken from the original Comicbook/WonderGirl.

** Meanwhile, in ''X-Men Noir'', Anna-Marie Rankin is a composite of Rogue and the Mimic, Calvin Rankin.
** And in ''ComicBook/IronMan Noir'', Baron Zemo is a mish-mash of, well, Baron Zemo and [[spoiler:Howard Stark]].

* In ''ComicBook/{{Daredevil}} Noir'', ComicBook/{{Elektra}} and Bullseye are combined as Eliza, the Bull's Eye Killer.

* ''Comicbook/DarkNightsMetal'' introduces the post-''Comicbook/{{Flashpoint}}'' version of Lady Blackhawk, who is quickly revealed to be Kendra Saunders, A.K.A. Hawkgirl.

* The New 52 version of ''Franchise/WonderWoman'' foe ComicBook/{{Cheetah}} is Barbara Anne Minerva (the third Cheetah Pre-Flashpoint), but uses Priscilla Rich and Debbie Domaine, the names of the previous two Cheetahs, as aliases.
* The ''Comicbook/WonderWomanRebirth'' version of Doctor Cyber/Adrianna Anderson manages to combine two previously human characters into one AI, the previous Dr. Cyber Cylvia Cyber and Veronica Cale's only friend Dr. Leslie Anderson.

* ''ComicBook/TheLegendOfWonderWoman2016''
** Donna Troy, who has often used "Troia" as a code name, gets merged with Diana's liflong Amazon friend Euboea to make a character named Troia.
** The "[[spoiler:Titan]]" turns out to be a combination of three villains traditionally associated with Franchise/GreenLantern; the it borrows from the Legion's backstory as a robotic host for the twisted souls of a dying civilization that feared death and sought immortality, the Manhunters ties to the Guardians, group status and name, and the Anti-Monitor's appearance.

** Captain Steel/Hank Heywood Jr. is a composite of Commander Steel/Hank Heywood Sr. (military background), Steel/Hank Heywood III (gained powers by being [[GuineaPigFamily experimented on]] by Hank Sr.) and Citizen Steel/Nathan Heywood (bondsed with weird metal).

** The Savage Spider-Man is a version of Peter Parker who became the protector of the Savage Land after surviving a plane crash as a child, making him a combination of Spider-Man and Ka-Zar. Interestingly, Ka-Zar exists in this universe as well, but as villainous GreatWhiteHunter called Ka-Zar the Hunter, making him a combination of his traditional self and Kraven.

** Spider-Ma'am is another alternate May Parker, this time coming from a reality where she was the one bitten by the radioactive spider instead of Peter.

** The ''[[Comicbook/MightyAvengers Captain Britain and the Mighty Defenders]]'' tie-in to ''Comicbook/SecretWars2015'' had Spider Hero, a ''different'' version of Hobie Brown who used technology to try and become the new Spider-Man after his world's Peter Parker was killed and eaten by the Inheritors.

* Some DC Comics {{Elseworld}}s do this; for instance in ''Speeding Bullets'' [[Franchise/{{Superman}} Kal-El]]'s rocketship is found by the Waynes and he becomes Franchise/{{Batman}}, while ComicBook/LexLuthor is in a chemical accident and becomes Comicbook/TheJoker. In ''Darkest Knight'', Bruce Wayne becomes Franchise/GreenLantern, and Sinestro absorbs Joe Chill's mind and becomes a Joker stand-in who empowers Selina Kyle and Harvey Dent as Star Sapphire and Binary Star (Evil Star with Two Face elements) respectively.

** In ''ComicBook/SupermanEarthOne'', General Zod is combined with Zor-El as he's Jor-El borther and hence Superman's uncle.

** The second earth he visits is home to a girl with Kon's history, powers, fashion sense and personality mashed with Supergirl. Since there is no Superman on her earth she was cloned from Kara.

*** The ''Comicbook/DCYearOfTheVillain: Lex Luthor'' oneshot has a scene set in this world where Luthor is standing in for Batman, in a [[WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond Terry McGinnis]] style costume.
*** ''Flash Forward'' introduces Lightspeed, a composite of Linda Park (who in [[Series/TheFlash another multiverse]] was Dr Light) and Godspeed.
*** The 2019 series ''ComicBook/DialHForHero'' adds Ms Super-Martian (Superboy & Miss Martian) and the villainous Harli-Quinnitor (Harley Quinn & the Anti-Monitor). We also see composites of Nightwing & Donna Troy, Starfire & Cyborg, Batgirl & Guy Gardner, Catwoman & Carol Ferris, Dr Fate & Firestorm, and Plastic Man & Blue Beetle, among others. Miguel's counterpart is combined with [[ComicBook/DoomPatrol Danny the Street]], while Summer's counterpart is combined with SelfDemonstrating/{{Lobo}}.

*** Earth-32 is an entire world of these, based on the ''Darkest Knight'' Elseworlds story mentioned above: Franchise/GreenLantern [[Franchise/{{Batman}} Bruce Wayne]], {{Franchise/Wonder|Woman}}{{ComicBook/Hawk|man}}, {{ComicBook/Aqua|Man}}[[Franchise/TheFlash flash]], {{ComicBook/Black|Canary}} [[ComicBook/GreenArrow Arrow]]...

* ''ComicBook/AmethystPrincessOfGemworld'': The 2019 series happily mixes tropes and characters from the classic series - Dark Opal as the Big Bad, Turquoise as Amy's friend - 2011 reboot - Amy's mother being in charge of House Amethyst, inter-house politics and corruption among good houses - and even the animated series, which clearly inspired Amy's new design.
* The 2019 series ''ComicBook/DialHForHero'' includes an issue where Miguel and Summer travel to an alternate reality filled entirely with composite superheroes. These include Super-Martian (Superman & Martian Manhunter), Wonderhawk (Wonder Woman & Hawkgirl), Aquaflash (Aquaman & Flash), Ms Super-Martian (Superboy & Miss Martian) and the villainous Harli-Quinnitor (Harley Quinn & the Anti-Monitor). We also see composites of Nightwing & Donna Troy, Starfire & Cyborg, Batman & Green Lantern (with Batgirl & Guy Gardner, and Catwoman & Carol Ferris), Dr Fate & Firestorm, and Plastic Man & Blue Beetle, among others. Miguel's counterpart is combined with [[ComicBook/DoomPatrol Danny the Street]], while Summer's counterpart is combined with SelfDemonstrating/{{Lobo}}.

* The ComicBook/AmalgamUniverse was naturally made up entirely of these, with nearly every character being a combination of a Creator/DCComics character and a Creator/MarvelComics character. Some characters combined traits from more than two -- Speed Demon, for instance, is the amalgamation of Marvel's ComicBook/GhostRider with DC's ComicBook/TheFlash and the Demon ComicBook/{{Etrigan}}

** Likewise, Comicbook/KittyPryde has retractable claws and is Wolverine's young DistaffCounterpart in this universe, making her ''even more'' like X-23 than Falcon.

** [[Comicbook/{{Daredevil}} Matt Murdock]] is an outright villain, and becomes New York's new [[comicbook/TheKingpin Kingpin]] after Wilson Fisk is sent to prison.

** [[Comicbook/{{Daredevil}} Matt Murdock]] is an outright villain, and becomes New York's new Kingpin after Wilson Fisk is sent to prison.

** Comicbook/CaptainAmerica is a {{Gender Flip}}ped Sam Wilson, but gained her powers from Project Rebirth during World War II like Steve Rogers.

* In ''Series/{{Smallville}} Season 11'', Barbara Gordon is Comicbook/{{Nightwing}}, complete with escrima sticks. Her costume is similar to Dick's in the comics, only with yellow "wings" (like Dick had originally) instead of blue or red, and occasionally purple highlights in the black sections, both suggesting the Comicbook/{{Batgirl}} costume. She also takes some personality elements from [[Comicbook/{{Batgirl 2009}} Stephanie Brown]].

** While ultimately averted, the issue before the change from Creator/RobLiefeld to Creator/WalterSimsonson for ''Avengers'' hinted that Hawkeye was a different person than Clint Barton, as a flashback in the issue sees Hawkeye and a man called Reaper trying to infiltrate HYDRA, only to be caught and Reaper getting part of his right arm shot off and Hawkeye telling him something important, but the simulation is interrupted by Hellcat, the implication that "Reaper" was the ''HR'' version of the Grim Reaper and hence, Hawkeye was [[ComicBook/WonderMan Simon Williams]], as opposed to Clint Barton (or at the very least, given a Wonder Man does appear in it, that Hawkeye and Grim Reaper are RelatedInTheAdaptation). However, because of the change, Hawkeye was shown to be Clint Barton, as always.
