counting down our picks for the top 10
times dc and marvel crossed over
[Music]
for this list we'll be looking at some
of the best times that characters from
dc and marvel crossed over in the comics
which characters between the two would
you like to see crossover today miss
marvel and shazam moon knight and batman
let us know below
number 10 superman versus the amazing
spider-man 1976 saw the first superhero
crossover between the biggest comic
publishers with two of their most
popular characters the story goes with
the classic misunderstanding that forces
the heroes to battle thanks to being
blasted with red sun radiation from lex
luthor spider-man can go toe-to-toe with
superman when they finally use their
words and talk to each other they
realize they've been tricked the two of
them team up to tackle the combined
forces of luther and doctor octopus but
doc ock turns on luther when he realizes
his plans will destroy the earth in the
end lex's plan is thwarted by spidey and
soos the two heroes would team up again
in 1981 when they battled parasite and
doctor doom number 9 quasar flash in
dc's massive 1985 story crisis on
infinite earths the flash barry allen
seemingly perished well in 1990s quasar
issue 17 marvel's fastest characters
took part in a race to see who's the
quickest but there was a special cameo
from someone who looked a lot like barry
appearing disheveled with a torn costume
and a beautiful blonde beard he doesn't
remember how he got there but he has a
strong desire to run even though he
didn't start the race barry dashes
through the course easily and beats
everyone to the finish line when he's
asked what his name is he can't quite
remember but he goes with buried alien
as that feels right
number eight batman captain america if
you've ever wondered what a team up
between batman captain america bucky
barnes and robin would be then look no
further in 1997 we saw these heroes and
sidekicks join forces to take on the
joker and the red skull set in the 1940s
we still get the classic
misunderstanding fight when steve rogers
and bruce wayne are out of their
costumes but it's sorted quickly we also
have the fun moment of the joker meeting
red skull and being disgusted that the
costume isn't just a costume joker
announces his allegiance to america even
if he's a criminal lunatic it's the
clown prince of gotham who actually
ruins red skull's plans to drop a bomb
over washington sometimes apparently
joker's a good egg number 7. worthy dc
in 2019 legendary thor writer and artist
walt simonson created thor the worthy
which contained various asgard stories
in the rule for reflection we have siff
teaming up with jane foster thorpe siff
who didn't know it was jane at the time
was distrustful of this new secret thor
during the tale we see a panel showing
various characters who were worthy to
lift mjolnir they delightfully squeezed
in nods to dc superman and wonder woman
but this isn't the only instance thor
comics have referenced their publishing
rivals in 2020 while introducing the
villain the black winter we see the
world being destroyed which featured the
colors of superman flash and green
lantern number six galactus vs darkseid
imagine two of the strongest cosmic
villains in marvel and dc and witnessed
the two fighted out for superiority
sounds pretty cool right well that's
what we got in 1995 called darkseid vs
galactus the hunger the devourer of
worlds stumbles across apocalypse
weakened after millennia of not feeding
he attempts to consume the planet with
the aid of the silver surfer only to
come face to face with darkseid and his
horde of parademons in the end just as
galactus prevails over darkseid it turns
out apocalypse doesn't have the life
energy he needs so galactus leaves with
silver surfer to find another world
number 5 amalgam comics in 1996 marvel
and dc decided to create a joint
publishing imprint where they could
share and play with each other's
characters in one big toy box known as
amalgam comics but with a twist in the
story to prevent the destruction of two
comic universes they were squished
together to form a new universe this
caused various dcn marvel heroes to be
welded together to create new beings
many comics sprang out of this
initiative featuring these brand
spanking new characters there was
darkclaw a mixture of wolverine and
batman amazon a mashup of wonder woman
and storm super soldier a captain
america and superman combination dr
doomsday an amalgamation of doomsday and
doctor doom and many many more number
four the uncanny x-men and the new teen
titans when fans are asked what the best
comic crossover issue between marvel and
dc is often they'll pick 1982's x-men
and teen titans story in this tale both
the titans and the mutants are seeing
flashes of the phoenix jean grey who had
perished in marvel's continuity at this
time as it turns out darkseid was
looking to use memories they have of
gene to remake her in her dark phoenix
form then used a phoenix power for his
own his plan was simple
sort of he aimed to turn earth into a
new apocalypse the two teams combined to
become the ex-titans and take on the
forces of darkseid phoenix and
deathstroke to save the day number three
all access a joint creation between the
publishers and the only character owned
by both axel asher became the star of
the show during this 1996 crossover
event with the power of access he was
the cosmic hall monitor between the
marvel and dc universes in this story
his mission is trying to stop the return
of the amalgam universe throughout we
get to see a load of characters battle
it out such as superman against venom
and the jla versus the x-men axel would
also get a follow-up mini-series with
1997's unlimited access speaking of 97
we also got a fun issue dedicated to
superman and silver surfer dealing with
the shenanigans of impossible man and mr
mixes pitilic number 2 jla avengers in
2003 we got jla avengers the story goes
that dc's chrono was traveling through
the multiverse looking for the truth of
creation when he found the marvel
universe the grand master proposes a
competition to save marvel the jla

the avengers and the grandmaster the jla
