    Default Which DC event stories would work better with Marvel characters and vice versa?

    This is pretty self-explanatory, but I was thinking about this recently while reading the info about Captain America Civil War and thinking of the series itself.

    Imagine if Civil War played out in the DCU. Would Superman be pro-registration with Bruce against registration and Superman? Would that premise work better with DC characters?

    How would Identity Crisis play out with the Avengers?

    Who would the future villain be in a Marvel Universe version of Armageddon 2001?

    How about the original Secret Wars with the DCU? Maybe the Beyonder would be a rogue Monitor or Guardian?

    Maybe Secret Invasion with White Martians?

    JLA Disassembled?

    Bloodlines with Marvel heroes and villains?

    The Final Night in the Marvel U?

    Marvel One Million?

    And so on...

    The first two you mentioned were perfect. Civil War seems like an easy Superman vs Batman story. It's a lot easier to believe Superman could be guilt tripped instead of Iron Man, a lot easier to believe Batman would go radical than goody two shoes Cap.

    Likewise, a lot easier to place specific Marvel characters in Identity Crisis.

    I don't see Superman or Batman signing on with registration, they're too independent. Actually JLU did sort of a thing with them against Amanda Waller, who I could see working with Luthor to promote registration but I can't see Superman joining in no matter how Frank Miller sees him. Superman hides his ID even from the government.

    Kingdom Come had the two squaring off in a battle of ideology but neither were working with the government.

    Maybe Secret Invasion with White Martians?
    That would be cool.

    JLA Disassembled?
    They kind of do that with the other leagues and JLI.

    Marvel One Million?
    That would be fun. Kind of like Miguel Spider-Man

    JLU Batman did at one point argue that Cadmus had reasons to be afraid of the League.

    I don't know if I agree with either of these. Both stories rely heavily on the existence of a multiverse. Something DC had a huge investment in. The bulk of Marvel's multiverse is the Ultimates line.

    From what I've seen so far, Secret Wars looks like Marvel's take on COIE.
