Fictional crossovers Fictional crossovers Alien vs. Predator (often abbreviated AvP) is a science-fiction / horror fiction series spanning several forms of media. The series is a cross-over between two popular movie series about extraterrestrial beings: Alien (whose aliens are known as " Xenomorphs") and Predator (whose aliens are known as the " Yautja"); in AvP, the two species are in conflict with one another, because of human actions. The idea for such a cross-over is often thought to have originated from a supposed Xenomorph skull seen as a Predator's trophy in Predator 2, but Dark Horse Comics published their first Alien vs. Predator story in November 1989, a year before the November 1990 release of Predator 2. ...more on Wikipedia about "Alien vs. Predator"

Marvel vs DC Comics was a fan based mini-series by Marvel and DC Comics. In Marvel vs DC two "Gods", or "Brothers" as they are referred to in the comic, separately create the universes that comics fans know as DC and Marvel. After becoming aware of the other's existence the brothers challenge each other to a series of duels involving each universe's respective superheroes. The matches, shown below, were written by Dan Jurgens and the outcome was determined by votes sent in by readers. Despite Marvel achieving more votes than its rival, and thus winning more matches, the series' storyline opted not to show one side victorious. The authors had, wisely, reserved calling the winner of 5 of the initial 10 (of 11) matches so they could, in the worst case scenario, still achieve a 5-5 "tie". As voters voted Marvel the winner in 4 of the 5 "open to vote" matches (only DC's Superman winning his vote), this proved a prescient move. ...more on Wikipedia about "Marvel vs DC"
