In 1996,Marvel ComicsandDC Comicsheld an unprecedented crossover event - and if a continuation to that outcome was written today , it would easily surpass what came before . The two hulk of the comic book manufacture set apart their conflict - if only momentarily - to releaseMarvel vs. DC , a series cross four books and a rigid oftie - ins need the Amalgam Universe . Written by Ron Marz and Peter David with graphics by Dan Jurgens and Claudio Castellini , the series was well - receive and sell quite well . Over twenty - five eld after , a potential continuation is long overdue - but some changes are in ordination to theMarvel vs. DCformula .

InMarvel vs. DC , two monstrously powerful entities known only as the " Brothers " - representing the Marvel and DC universes - have last noticed each other again after aeon of solitude . Since any conflict between the all - hefty Brothers would finish in the demolition of all world , each Brother pick out champions to fight in their lieu . The side that   fall back the most battles waive their universe of discourse … and the aliveness of   every being living within . Superheroes are meet up : Batman fights Captain America , Thor oppose Shazam ( then known as Captain Marvel ) , Wolverine fights Lobo and more ( and fan voting decided some of the battle ) . The outcome was a monumental hit and is still beloved by fans today - but it was not without some notable fault .

alas , some   zep   were forced to   sit out the battle ( and some , like Iron Man , was so unpopular in the 90sthat he was n’t included at all ) . A continuation to the series could include part like Doctor Strange ,   Ms. Marvel , Cyborg and Harley Quinn and feature them at their most powerful . Furthermore - perhaps in the interest of fairness on the part of the writers - the matchup between the characters were perhapstooevenly - matched . While Superman vs. the Hulk remains a popular point of public debate among devotee , the engagement amounted to a unproblematic punching contest in the Grand Canyon . What if Superman was pit against , say , Susan Storm of the Fantastic Four?Such a match-up would force   Susan   to observe a way to vote down a much physically - stronger resister . In the same vena , while the Flash fight Quicksilver in the original ( another speedster ) , what if he fought someone like   Professor X -   a character with an entirely dissimilar set of force ? That would certainly make the conflict more challenging for the combatants , and more gratifying for the reader .

Perhaps the ingredient that could be most ameliorate upon from the previous installment is the reasonwhythe characters fight . InMarvel vs. DC , the heroes and scoundrel were informed that their existence reckon on the outcome of each conflict , and that was it . Thus , each character fought because theyhadto fight - not necessarily because theywantedto fight . What if the grounds for fight stem from an ideologic difference of opinion ? TheCivil Warseries , for all the rebound it received from buff , stand out in one field : it hinge on characterslike Captain America and Iron Mancoming to blows because   each   man full believed   he   was correct and his opponent was wrong . Finding a reason to fight - one that does n’t involve a simple misunderstanding or loser to transmit - is cardinal to make a sequel serial publication .

In the decade ofcrossover effect excess that was the 90s , Marvel vs. DCis often remembered more lovingly than the rest . It throw many submarine sandwich and villains a chance to shine and work rooter of both property closer together . It ’s high timeMarvel ComicsandDC Comicscreated a sequel toMarvel vs. DCwith all the pomp and circumstance of the original .
