A number of other DC/Marvel adventures take place on a 'Crossover Earth', but later intercompany crossovers tend to present the DC and Marvel Universes as alternate realities, bridged when common foes make this desirable, as the interest in overall continuity has become a major part of even crossover comic books.Ĭharacters 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, respectively. the Amazing Spider-Man and 1981's Superman and Spider-Man. This was the approach for early intercompany crossovers, including 1976's Superman vs. In the earliest licensed crossovers, the companies seemed to prefer shared world adventures. Some fans have posited a separate 'Crossover Earth' for these adventures. They include those where the characters live in alternate universes, as well as those where they share the same Earth.
