In order to save two universes, the young hero known as Access was forced to use the power of Amalgam (see Marvel versus DC (1996) #3). In this issue, members of the X-Men, X-Force, Doom Patrol, and Teen Titans are merged to create Shatterstarfire (Starfire/Shatter Star), Niles Cable (Cable/Professor Niles), Beastling (Beast/Changeling), Ferro Man (Colossus/Robotman), and others must stand against the sinister Brother Brood (Brother Blood/the Brood).
