On the other hand, forcibly re-merging two universes and their inhabitants to restore your own is not morally defensible even if from your viewpoint your universe was the original. However it plays out though, someone's going to be surviving at someone else's expense.

There is the point that Amazon (who Superman seemed quite happy to kill to have Wonder Woman back) is the only one from Strangefate's Amalgam universe, the others are apparently artificial, so why are they so gung-ho? Whether his fusion spell was powerful enough to give them enough substance that they're effectively from an alternate Amalgam universe and "real", or they're under some sort of mind-control isn't clear. Perhaps as "creations" of his they simply think the way he wants them to. Strangefate does say they'll do for now, so he probably planned to re-fuse everyone back to the amalgams he knew.

But yes they are acting like characterless goons.


Again, however, Strangefate's worst sin is not using Storm and Wonder Woman to make two more fem-fusions; Green-Storm and Ice-Woman, or something.
I've never been a fan of STAR TREK: VOYAGER, but there was one episode that at least attempted to deal more directly with the issues you're bringing up here:



The scene features Captain Janeway arguing with another "gestalt" being, Tuvix (created from Tuvok and Neelix).
