Amalgam: Michael Cage (Code Name: the Terminator) (Deathstroke, Luke Cage, Mister Terrific)411 on my amalgam's capabilities:
Intelligence/Tactics:
In Mister Terrific and Deathstroke you have two of the smartest persons in the DCU who have proven time and time again to be quite good at thinking on their feet as well as being excellent prepsters who can work with very little time to devise methods of defeating more powerful enemies.
Mister Terrific's mighty brain:

(Also of note is the fact that he's an Olympic level athlete. Multiply that times ten now and you get a very nimble individual)Here's Deathstroke dealing with Aquaman with next to no time to prepare:

Skill: This is really where my Amalgam dominates thanks to Deathstroke. Black Canary is one superb fighter and she's easily the best h/h fighter in CBD's roster but she fails against Deathstroke. He can and has beaten her in combat.
If there's still any doubt here's him owning Batman (again):

Mister Terrific is none too shabby either:
http://i208.photobucket.com/albums/bb260/DarkCrawler90/Tourney/3-Blackbeltsinsix.jpgSpeed: Again speed is a major factor here. Deathstroke is proven to be much faster than any human, some estimates put him at 10x faster than a normal human while other examples show him to be fast enough to dodge bullets and Starfire's Starbolts.

He can also evade and seemingly match Superman's reaction time:
http://img206.imageshack.us/img206/2447/superman68p19dp9.jpgStrength/Durability: Deathstroke's serum works by increasing natural human strength tenfold, added to that Cage's two treatments and you have a brick with strength that exceeds the cap (so he's capped at Class 50).
As for durability Deathstroke on his own is able to roll with punches from Aquaman and Starfire whereas Cage can take the Class 100 equivalent blows of Iron Fist and Iron Man like a champ when his guard is up.
Lasers only tickle him:
http://s715.photobucket.com/albums/ww156/ankur2113/?action=view¤t=img011.jpgEquipment: Standard equipment for Luke Cage is a jacket that is just as durable as his skin (said to be as durable as Titanium but his skin has stood up to stronger than that so its likely stronger than titanium) while Mister Terrific brings to the table his T-Spheres and T-Mask.
Now in addition to all the lovely things that the T-Spheres can do that I listed in my previous match (Holography, explosions, electric shocks) they can also levitate objects, including people allowing for flight. This can somewhat compensate for the flight advantage that M brings to CBD's table.
Deathstroke brings to the table his Staff which is shown to have at least the power of a rocket launcher since it easily destroyed a helicopter (and not Black Hawk Down style either, the thing was incinerated) as well as a sword which he is quite skilled in the use of.
Prep:
The Terminator will spend his ten seconds of prep coming up with a flexible strategy for dealing with his opponent(s). Recognizing Black Canary's scream as perhaps the most dangerous weapon in the enemy arsenal he'll take the necessary step to prepare for it by tearing off a large piece of his jacket (something which would be as easy for him as you tearing apart your own skin would be for you) and tying it up so that it becomes something resembling a face bag.The battle:
The Terminator will right off the bat send five of his T-Spheres to fan out and explore the surrounding forest, given his reflexes>anyone's on CBD's side the T-Spheres will be on the move before anyone else can move a muscle, essentially as soon as the proverbial bell rings. T T-Spheres will essentially relay a map of the entire field back to the Terminator who with the help of his T-Mask will now know exactly where everyone is. One T-Sphere will remain with the Terminator.The T-Spheres that have been sent out will create an army of holographic T-Sphere duplicates that will confuse and disorient the enemy.
Now assuming they are individuals:
Terminator will know exactly where everyone is thanks to the T-Spheres and T-Mask.
M, assuming she's flying can be dealt with in a number of ways, either with T-Spheres a staff blast or by the Terminator (using his T-Sphere to grant himself levitation/flight) taking the fight to her in the sky, a fight she cannot hope to win should he catch her.
Charcoal being more or less a grounded brick will be easy pickings for the Terminator who can defeat him rather easily in h/h with his great strength and skill.
Black Canary can be defeated either in h/h, with a sneak attack by a T-Sphere, or with a bag to the face:

Now in this case it would be less PIS since this bag would have the strength of NASA grade titanium.Assuming an amalgamation:
The resulting amalgamation would still lack anything approaching the Terminator's level of skill, strength, or combat speed.Using a T-Sphere duo to both make himself invisible (by projecting a hologram over himself that matches with the background) and to provide levitation along with other T-Spheres running interference the Terminator can sneak up on the amalgamation and using his titanium-strength face bag pull a suffocation win. The Sonic Scream is useless without the necessary air and outlet (an open, unobstructed mouth) to power it.
If necessary the Terminator can think up a new plan on the fly given his thinking speed is superior even to M's impressive mental acuity.
