About
Hexafusion/Triple Fusion are images that seek to combine elements from 3 fictional characters, typically arranged in a hexagonal pattern with the resulting fusion of all placed in the center.
Origin
The trend of making these fusions began around November 20th 2013 on 4chan’s /co/ (Comics & Cartoons) board. A user created a fusion of Wendy from “Gravity Falls” and Frankie from “Foster’s Home For Imaginary Friends” called Wanky[1]. Later on, a chart was created featuring both characters and also including Vicky from “Fairly Oddparents”. On November 22nd, the created chart was featured on Tumblr[2], gaining 281 notes, as of December 19th.
