  • Complete Monster: Green Skull is a sociopathic billionaire who combines the ambition of Lex Luthor with the psychopathic ruthlessness of Red Skull. A war profiteer who initially attempted to prolong World War II for his own gain, Green Skull cut his losses at the end of the war, marrying and then later murdering Lois Lane when she attempted to steer Skull's daughter Selina away from his path of corruption, trying shortly after to have Washington and its populace blown up by his creation to plunge America into chaos and take over. Transformed due to the effects of Green K(ryptonite) while also becoming immortal, Green Skull has no compunction about who he has to crush to get his way, torturing Jimmy Olsen to near-death and having Bruce Wayne's parents murdered after founding HYDRA, even setting up a scheme that could potentially annihilate the entire planet in the event of his seeming death.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: There’s actually a lot. Come this way.
  • Narm: Amalgam runs on this with a lot of the combos coming out quite silly.
    • Dark Claw arguably has the most ridiculous costume out of all the character, it being a weird blend of Batman's and Wolverine's costumes.
    • Special mention goes to the Legion of Galactic Guardians.
  • Narm Charm: Despite how ridiculous the characters are, that is clearly part of the appeal and strangely many of the characters are actually good ideas themselves.
    • The Legion of Galactic Guardians are not that different from the Legion of Super-Heroes, with it being easy to imagine the characters being members.
    • Super-Soldier is a good blend of both Captain America and Superman, and as noted on the Hilarious in Hindsight page he provides a nice contrast to Homelander who is a Corrupted Character Copy of Captain America and Superman.
    • Generation Hex is a genuinely good idea for an X-Men spin-off comic.
