10 Insane Superman Crossovers You Won't Believe Exist
6. Superman/Fantastic Four
The first DC/Marvel crossover on the list, and the first encounter between the Man of Steel and Marvel's First Family is a delightful read.
It smartly combines Superman and Fantastic Four mythologies to create a standalone story that is not bogged down by previous stories or crossovers and even weaves in the DC animated universe in a manner that organically fits the story's narrative.
After Superman learns that Krypton was destroyed at the hands of the malevolent cosmic being, Galactus, he heads to the Marvel universe to seek the assistance of the Fantastic Four with the goal of confronting the all-powerful entity. Unfortunately, he is followed by Cyborg Superman, and is turned into a Herald of Galactus in the ensuing chaos that follows the Cyborg's arrival.
The story does require readers to have some prior knowledge of the mega DC/Marvel crossover to explain how Superman and the Fantastic Four are aware of each other, but is a one-off beyond that fact. It respects the heroes' lore and attempts to portray them in a bright light rarely seen in these inter-company crossovers.
