    Default Which major crossover/event series had the most impact? Which had the least?

    Marvel has spent decades coming up with crossovers and events that are supposed to change everything. However, that seems to be true for only some of them. So, which had the most impact and which had the least?

    Secret Wars 1984 was the first, biggest, most influential of crossover events.

    Civil War. For good or bad.
    Heroes have had stronger, different opinions ever since and the hero vs hero thing has never gone away.

    Haha. I liked it.

    I think mostly Hulk, Steve Rogers, Bucky, Black Widow, Colossus and Thor got affected. Not sure what happened to Tony's sobriety issue.

    No one talks about contest of champions 2 much. Then again that's the series that has punisher beat all of the new warriors with a single gun and nothing else. A lot of odd strange wins that make no sense in that book. (some of the wins were votes like marvel vs dc was)

    I absolutely loved this event. Tony was the one who figured everything out.
    "We live in a world of cowards. We live in a world full of small minds who are afraid. We are ruled by those who refuse to risk anything of their own. Who guard their over bloated paucities of power with money. With false reasoning. With measured hesitance. With prideful, recalcitrant inaction. With hateful invective. With weapons. F@#K these selfish fools and their prevailing world order." Tony Stark

    I would say Maximum Security is the most forgotten crossover.

    Secret wars 3 from Fantastic Four #313-319 and Fantastic Four Annual #21 (also part of another event! Yes this book is part of two events at once!) No one remembers it.

    Most fans didn't even know the last secret wars was part 4 and not 3!

    Ultimatum was the most influential in a negative sense because it essentially destroyed the Ultimate line.

    House of M was also very influential because it defined the X-men line for nearly 10 years.
