Wraith
(Gambit/Obsidian amalgam)
Context
Amalgam Comics was a unique 1996/97 publishing project by DC Comics and Marvel Comics. It published a series of comics where the two universes had merged. Furthermore, the characters themselves had merged (“amalgamed” ) with their closest equivalent from the other setting, with oft-strange results.
Our Amalgam writeups are very old – they are contemporary to the event. Since it was 20+ years ago, it was just an amusing exercise in merging the characters’ stats to represent their likely new state.
Background
- Real Name: Todd Gambit.

History
Todd made a deal in a New Orleans bar for a magic set of playing cards that would ‘change his life’. The cards served as a focus for his mutant ability to change into an insubstantial shadowy form.
His sister was raised on New Asgard as the Jade Enchantress.
