Star Trek and X-Men. Oh, they already did? And it sucked? Do it again then. And right this time. Say, with DS9 and one of the more cynical incarnations of the X-Men. Aw, yeah. ---

> [@D\_Odds](#): > > Also, Doom Patrol / X-Men. I think the Doom Patrol did the outcast schtick before the X-Men. By 3 months. Are these teamups or conflicts? If conflicts, I hate to say it, since the DP is one of my favourite teams (until Byrne got them), but I can’t think of a DP lineup that could take the X-Men. Morrison and Acudi’s teams would have the best chance, with Crazy Jane, Dorothy Spinner, and Fast Forward evening the odds somewhat, but even then, the DP’s best chance is to visit Danny the World and stay there. The Negative Man/Woman would probably be the last survivor of the DP, if it was Drake/Haney, Kupperberg, or Morrison’s teams. As a team-up, it’d be fun. Depending which lineups from each team, it could get very weird. I’d love to see the X-Men deal with the Pollack team, particularly if it was the mobile Chief. ---

I can think of these kinds of team ups all night long. **TOP TEN / POWERS.** Co-written, plotted by Alan Moore and Brian Michael Bendis. Art by Gene Ha and Zander Cannon. The casts of two supercrime police procedurals meet to solve a transdimensional serial killer’s crime spree that begins in POWERS with Detectives Walker, Pilgrim and Kutter and ends up in Neopolis’ TOP TEN. **PLANETARY / THE FANTASTIC FOUR.** Warren Ellis and Brian Cassady. The Four’s incursion into the Marvel Universe causes strife and destruction of Marvel’s NYC. The Fantastic Four chase them across the bleed. Can even Reed Richards’ intellect grapple with the evil of the Four? And what happens when Elijah Snow, Jakita Walker and the Drummer get involved? **LEGION OF SUPERHEROES / STAR TREK: DS9.** Peter David and Dan Jurgens. A little known tale of the latter days of the Dominion War, involving Sisko and the crew of the Defiant in 30th century Earth… and the Founders’ bold new alliance with their legendary sister world of lost shapeshifters: Durla! Co-starring members of the Legion of Superheroes. **GODZILLA VERSUS THE MARVEL UNIVERSE.** Garth Ennis and John McCrea. Remember _The Punisher Kills The Marvel Universe?_ Like that, only with Godzilla. **DC COMICS PRESENTS SPIDER-MAN / JLA** Grant Morrison and Phil Jiminez. **MARVEL COMICS PRESENTS SUPERMAN / AVENGERS** Mark Waid and George Perez. Covers by Alex Ross. Clark Kent and Peter Parker inexplicably wake up in each other’s universe, in each other’s secret identities, unable to escape. What caused the switch? What disaster does it portend? And how does each hero adjust to each universe, working with each world’s mightest heroes? A two-part cross-company _in-continuity_ extravaganza! ---

> [@Max Carnage](#): > > Actually there have been two. One has Punisher visiting Gotham chasing Jigsaw and running into Batman/Azrael. The second (better one) has Batman visiting NYC chasing the Joker and running into Punisher. I remember reading through that one, in the store…I think the Punisher actually came to Gotham, though. It was good. It made me mad, but it was good. [spoiler]…at one point, at the end, Castle has the Joker on his knees, with a pistol jammed in his forehead. A terrified Joker says “…you’re really going to do it, aren’t you?” Then Bats shows up, grabs the gun, and tells the Joker to run for his life. He’d rather see the Joker get away than have someone kill him. Asshole. :mad: As Frank himself says after the inevitable fight with Batman, "you and that freak _deserve_ each other![/spoiler] > [@Askia](#): > > **GODZILLA VERSUS THE MARVEL UNIVERSE.** Garth Ennis and John McCrea. > Remember _The Punisher Kills The Marvel Universe?_ Like that, only with Godzilla. [Kinda of](http://www.marvunapp.com/Appendix/godzilla.htm) been [done, sort of.](http://www.marvunapp.com/Appendix/godzilsq.htm) Of course, it was the 70s, and in-continuity, and in the tail end of the “Showa” era, so we don’t get to have the big G doing anything interesting like level New York while Spider-Man stands by impotently, or Cap die heroically throwing himself down Godzilla’s throat while carrying a cadmium missile, or anything. Maybe have Bruce Banner desperately try to recreate the Oxygen Destroyer, and instead horribly fuses it’s power to the Hulk (creating a [Godzilla-villain analog](http://www.tohokingdom.com/web_pages/kajiu_bios/destroyah.htm). In the end, Earth is in ruins, hopelessly overrun by Kaiju spawned in the fight against Godzilla. Thus, we have the “horrors of technology and war run rampant” theme of the original Godzilla, but catastrophically amplified by the very nature of a comic universe. Oh, and we can have Mothra and the twin fairies show up in the Savage Land, or some crap like that. You know, for some cheap laughs. 😃 Anyway… A Planetary/The Authority crossover might be fun. Maybe a terribly inappropriate “Static Shock” crossover with like “Spawn” or “Hellblazer” or “Howard the Duck” or “Swamp Thing,” or something. ---

I’d like to see Deathstroke vs Captain America. Supersoldier who uses his powers for profit vs boyscout supersoldier. Sword vs Shield. That’d be cool. Of course the whole big fight would be ruined by some villian coming along that they have to team up to defeat, and then, at the end, they respect each other too much to go on fighting, so they part their separate ways saying never come to my town again or whatever the usual thing is. ---

I’d like to see Cherry Poptart meet Omaha the Cat Dancer. And you know what I mean by “meet.” 😃 An Archie/Freak Brothers crossover would also have potential. Riverdale will never be the same! Imagine a crossover between Jack Chick’s Crusader Comics and Phil Foglio’s Xxxenophile Comix! Just so long as Foglio has creative control . . . heh-heh-heh . . . ---

> [@Peter Morris](#): > > The Punisher vs Judge Dredd Judge Dredd would bust his arse in a Mega-City minute: he’s made it clear that he will not tolerate vigilantes or bounty-hunters on his turf, and he pretty much kicked Johnny Alpha’s arse to emphasise the point.
