Well, here’s a slightly odd little thread…we’ve all heard of and seen “unofficial” (In fanfic, and whatnot) crossovers involving completely disparate TV shows and movies. My query is: what is the most unusual CANONICAL crossover you’ve seen? Even counting “semi-canon” sources, Like the Animated “Star Trek,” or one-shot “What if?” comic books that may or may not take place in the official “universe.” The oddest ones I can think of are: Star Trek and the Man-Kzin Wars (Animated Series) Star Trek and X-Men (Novel, Comics) Spider-Man and Transformers Transformers and G.I. Joe Godzilla and the Marvel comics universe And, perhaps, the strangest crossover at all… [Superman and He-Man](http://www.he-man.org/comics/dc_frometernia.shtml) Although I’m pretty sure that THAT particular storyline doesn’t get followed up too often these days. Can anyone think of any others? The only rule is that it has to be an “official” crossover, and it has to be pretty unusual. “Ally McBeal” and “The Practice” wouldn’t be weird enough. Ranchoth ---

The entire [Amalgam Comics](http://www.io.com/~woodward/chroma/amalgam.html) world, or course, but especially “Lobo the Duck.” The entire idea – a melding of DC and Marvel superheros – was outrageously nutty, and the combinations were a hoot. ---

The X-files and Cops. I know a lot of people didn’t like X-Cops, but I think it’s clever as hell. ---

elfkin, I don’t think that COPS would incorporate the X-Files into their canon of real person events, nor do I think that episode involve anyone involved in COPS (that I know of). ---

Daredevil once joined forces with [Uri Gellar](http://randi.org/images/071202-GellerPipe.jpg) . Does that count as a crossover? ---

[The Dellon Godhead](http://www.stomptokyo.com/movies/dellon-godhead.html). I knew there was a link to this somewhere. _Doctor Who_ meets _The New Avengers_. Stars Tom Baker and Joanna Lumley. Not nearly as good as it sounds. ---

I saw an episode of _The PowerPuff Girls_ this week that featured the Association of World Super Men (AWSM) featuring the Justice Friends and several other superheroes including… _SpaceGhost and The Blue Falcon_! Then I saw an episode of _Dexter’s Laboratory_ with the Blue Falcon guest-starring. Do those count? How about the _Simpsons_ episode with Mulder and Scully investigating Homer’s “close encounter”? Or the one that was done as a _Prisoner_ episode? ---
