10 Insane Superman Crossovers You Won't Believe Exist

The DC universe's wide array of extraterrestrial worlds and species lends itself to great crossover potential with the beloved 'Aliens' film franchise. The Xenomorphs were organically woven into the DC universe in one of the few occasions we've seen a horror story prominently featuring Superman.

At first glance, the idea of pitting the Xenomorphs against Superman seems like an exercise in futility given the huge discrepancy in power levels between the monsters and the Kryptonian hero.

But the story's writers ensure to level the playing field by sending Superman to a star system without a yellow sun, stripping him of his abilities and ensuring the Last Son of Krypton experiences considerable hurdles in his attempt to overcome the Xenomorphs and escape.

The story is also able to combine various aspects of Superman and Aliens lore, such as Krypton, Supergirl, chestbursters, and the Alien Queen to create a cosmic horror tale that is rarely featured in stories featuring the hero. The crossover had a sequel that expanded the scope of the story to feature the Fourth World, specifically Orion, Darkseid and Apokolips to create a story that equals its predecessor's thrills and scares.
