An utterly GENIUS fanart creation has merged DC’s Superman with X-Men’s Cyclops, resulting in the ultimate superhero fusion. The concept and its execution are brilliantly conceived, particularly as it blends two iconic heroes in an unexpected union. This artwork also serves as a compelling argument for the revival of Marvel and DC’s Amalgam Comics imprint, showcasing the potential for innovative storytelling and character amalgamation.
Artist Kara Huset has unveiled an exceptionally unique fanart piece on X (formerly known as Twitter), merging the superhero personas of Clark Kent and Scott Summers into one formidable hero. This fusion of Superman and Cyclops brilliantly elevates two already exceptional characters to a new level of awesomeness.
While maintaining elements from both heroes’ designs, the amalgamation remains wholly unique yet recognizable. The fan response to this artwork has been overwhelmingly positive, garnering thousands of likes, reblogs, bookmarks, and comments.
Clark Summers: DC’s Superman and Marvel’s Cyclops Come Together in EPIC Amalgam Fanart
Huset’s fanart skillfully combines Kal-El’s jet-black hair with a haircut reminiscent of Scott Summer’s signature style. This fusion retains the handsome facial features typically associated with both characters. Particularly notable are the red-tinted eyes of this “Clark Summers” creation, paying homage to both Superman’s heat vision and Cyclops’ optic blasts. However, the real highlight of this design is the suit, which seamlessly merges elements from both heroes’ costumes. With its blend of red, yellow, and blue hues, sleek design aspects, and unique accessories, it captures the essence of each character’s attire in a harmonious blend.
Huset shares her inspiration, revealing that her initial idea was to blend her two favorite “Boy Scouts.” Opting to merge Clark Kent and Scott Summers was a remarkable decision, given that character amalgamations across Marvel and DC typically involve fusing Superman with Captain America. Alongside dubbing this fusion hero “Clark Summers,” she also labels the artwork as “S-Men,” “SuperBeam,” and “Super-Men,” all of which are witty nods to the characters and their associations. So far, Huset has also crafted an amalgamation of Batman and Iron Man, albeit with a twist. This character mash-up can be found on her X page.
“S-Men” Fanart Proves that DC and Marvel Need to Bring Back Amalgam Comics
Huset’s art undeniably showcases that Marvel/DC character mashups are perhaps the coolest concept around. Her creation also bolsters the argument for the revival of the comic publishing juggernauts’ shared imprint, Amalgam Comics, where iconic characters were blended together, much like Huset’s work. Notably, Marvel and DC once combined Batman and Wolverine to create “Dark Claw,” and Superman and Captain America to craft “Super-Soldier.” Hence, the return of this imprint would be welcomed, particularly to explore unlikely pairings such as Superman and Cyclops.

Superman
The icon who launched the entire world of superheroes, the last son of Krypton escaped his dying world to crash land on Earth and be raised as Clark Kent. The world knows him better as Superman, the Man of Steel, the leader of the Justice League, and the most well-known hero in the DC Comics Universe. Blessed with the powers of a demigod, Kal-El of Krypton fights enemies both small and cosmic in his endless pursuit of truth, justice, and a better tomorrow.
Cyclops
Cyclops, a.k.a. Scott Summers, is the X-Men’s core team leader and one of the first characters to appear in the franchise. As a human/mutant hybrid, Cyclops has the power to launch massive bursts of energy from his eyes that are regulated through the use of a specially designed visor. Despite his calm and collected demeanor, he tends to lose it when in the presence of a fellow team member, Wolverine.
