Intercompany crossover
Encyclopedia
In comic books, an intercompany crossover (also called cross-company or company crossover) is a comic or series of comics where characters published by one company meet those published by another (for example, DC Comics
' Superman meeting Marvel's
Spider-Man, or DC's Batman meeting Marvel's Wolverine). These usually occur in special "one-shot" issues or a miniseries
.
Some crossovers
are part of canon
—for example, JLA/Avengers
, which has been made canon in the DC Universe —but most are outside of the continuity
of a character's regular title or series of stories. They can be a joke or gag, a dream sequence, or even a "what if" scenario (such as DC's Elseworlds
).
Marvel/DC crossovers (are mostly non-canon) include those where the characters live in alternate universes, as well as those where they share the "same" version of earth (Indeed, some fans have posited a separate "Crossover Earth" for these adventures). In the earliest licensed crossovers, the companies seemed to prefer shared world adventures. They took this approach to the first intercompany superhero crossover, 1976's Superman vs. the Amazing Spider-Man
, and followed the same format in 1981 with Superman and Spider-Man
.
Besides the two Superman/Spider-Man crossovers, a number of other DC/Marvel adventures took place on a "Crossover Earth," but later intercompany crossovers tended to present the DC and Marvel Universes as alternate realities, bridged when common foes made this desirable. (The interest in overall continuity has become a major part of even crossover comic books.)
Characters are often licensed or sold from one company to another, as with DC acquiring such characters of Fawcett Comics
, Quality Comics
, and Charlton Comics
as the original Captain Marvel
, Plastic Man
and Captain Atom
. In this way, heroes originally published by different companies can become part of the same fictional universe, and interactions between such characters are no longer considered intercompany crossovers.
Although a meeting between a licensed character and a wholly owned character (e.g., between Red Sonja
and Spider-Man
, or Ash Williams
and the Marvel Zombies
) is technically an intercompany crossover, comics companies rarely bill them as such. Likewise is the case when some characters in an on-going series are owned or to some extent controlled by their creators, as with Doctor Who
antagonist
s the Daleks, which are not owned by the UK television network
the BBC
although the character of The Doctor is.
Arguably the earliest intercompany crossover game was 1992's
Battletoads & Double Dragon
, although it should be noted that Double Dragon
developers Technos Japan were barely involved in the production of the game outside of having the series licensed out to Tradewest
, who also had the Battletoads
license at the time as well.
One of the most popular sub-franchises in fighting game
s is the Marvel vs. Capcom series, which originally began in 1996
with X-Men vs. Street Fighter
. Each subsequent game in the series expanded the character roster to include characters from both companies' entire lineup, not just X-Men
and Street Fighter.
Capcom followed this act by teaming up with rival fighting game developer SNK
to produce the SNK vs. Capcom series in 1999
, which resulted in four different fighting games by the two companies and a trilogy of card games (the SNK vs. Capcom: Card Fighters Clash
series) by SNK.
Other examples of cross-company crossovers in video games includes the Tactical RPG Namco x Capcom
and DreamMix TV World Fighters
(a Hudson Soft
-produced fighting game which included characters from themselves, Konami and Takara
)
Nintendo created the Super Smash Bros. fighting game series where various Nintendo characters (Mario, Donkey Kong, Link, Fox McCloud, Samus Aran, and others) from various Nintendo franchises (Star Fox, Kirby, The Legend of Zelda, F-Zero, Metroid, and others) battle each other. The first game, Super Smash Bros., was released in 1999. The second game, Super Smash Bros. Melee, was released in 2001. And the third game, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, was released in 2008. The third installment in the series featured two third-party or non-Nintendo characters: Solid Snake from Konami's Metal Gear series and Sonic from Sega's Sonic The Hedgehog series.

characters Superman
