the Amalgam Universe's superheroes; before the merge had taken place, he had planted "shards" of the two universes inside the Batman and Captain America. Once he discovered the Dark Claw (an amalgamation of the Batman and the Wolverine) and Super-Soldier (an amalgamation of Superman and Captain America), he used those shards to give the Spectre and the Living Tribunal the power to restore the two universes. The Batman, Captain America and Access were thus able to make the Brothers realize that their conflict was pointless and the two universes were separated once again.
