I pointed out in the Marvel forum that Marvel has many, [I]many[/I] examples of heroes fighting villains that aren't normally associated with them due to the interconnected nature of the universe. How often does this happen in DC?
Some examples I know:
[LIST][*]Gorilla Grodd originally was a Flash villain and becoming a General DCU villain, particularly the Justice League.[*]Vandal Savage and Solomon Grundy were villains to Golden Age Green Lantern before moving to the General DCU.[*]Deathstroke debuted as the archnemesis of the Teen Titans, but has menaced various other Titans teams, Batman, Nightwing on an independent level, and Green Arrow.[*]Clock King moved from Green Arrow to Batman.[*]Black Mask was a minor Batman villain who eventually became the archenemy of Catwoman.[*]Deadshot debuted as a one-off Batman villain, but became better known through the Suicide Squad and Secret Six, though he stills goes against Batman often enough. He's also fought Green Arrow.[*]Cyborg Superman was created in the wake of the Death of Superman event, but eventually migrated over to the Green Lantern mythos.[*]The Calculator was a villain to the Justice League, but moved to the Birds of Prey.[*]The Prankster was a minor Superman villain but the New 52 reboot turned him into a Nightwing villain.[*]Captain Boomerang is a Flash villain, but became better known as part of the Suicide Squad. He also killed Robin (Tim Drake)'s father in Identity Crisis.[*]Joker has had multiple stories where he turned up in Metropolis, Superman's turf.[*]Tobias Whale is a Batman villain when he's not causing trouble for Black Lightning.[*]Darkseid was created to be the big bad of Fourth World, particularly his son Orion. However, he's become a villain to the wide DCU and especially Superman since the '90s.[/LIST]
But honestly, I have a harder time naming such instances compared to Marvel where it feels like I can name like over 50 of them off the top of my head. Anything else of note?
