Amalgam Comics was a joint publishing venture between DC Comics and Marvel Comics. Popular characters from both companies were merged together, first appearing during the DC versus Marvel Comics crossover event. A total of 24 one-shot issues were produced from 1996–1998.

Super-Soldier is a combination of Superman and Captain America, first appearing in Marvel Comics versus DC #3 (April 1996). The origin story is told in the one-shot Super-Soldier #1 (April 1996), written by Mark Waid and illustrated by Dave Gibbons. During World War II, Clark Kent was injected with a super-solder serum containing alien DNA from a crashed rocket ship. Following a battle with Ultra-Metallo, Super-Soldier spent five decades in suspended animation before returning in the 1990s.

The fictional "Mail Call" section of Super-Soldier #1 teases a second issue and a villain named Doomnaut, an amalgamation of Doomsday and Juggernaut. The imaginary fight would precede a multipart "Reign of the Super-Soldiers" by Waid and Gibbons, a reference to the "Reign of the Supermen!" event. Super-Soldier later appeared with Sgt. Rock and His Howling Commandos in the one-shot Super-Soldier: Man of War #1(June 1997).
