Updated on October 20, 2022 17:36 PM by Andrew Koschiev

Is the most ambitious crossover event in history " The Marvel's Infinity War"?It's hard to argue with these 10 other major crossovers in pop culture. Infinity War, the culmination of ten years of Marvel films, will take place in April 2018.

But in Infinity War truly the most ambitious crossover event ever? Bobby Palmer, a senior editor for ShortList, had no idea what he was about to unleash when he tweeted this statement along with his own "most ambitious crossover"—the Disney Channel film.

It didn't take long for others to adopt the formula and add their own ironic examples of "more ambitious crossovers," turning his tweet into a certified meme when it received over 275,000 retweets in a short period of time.

Power Rangers Super Megaforce: Legendary Battle

Saban Entertainment's marketing plan for the Power Ranger's 20th anniversary in 2013 was essential: "Hey! Do you enjoy the Power Rangers? Here they are, all of them!

In the final Power Rangers Super Megaforce episode, Tommy Oliver, a fan favourite, led the Legendary Rangers, a group of veteran Rangers from previous seasons, to fight an alien army known as the Armada. The Ranger-fest came to a close. Over 100 Rangers came together. Their numbers will only rise as the franchise continues to thrive.

Green Lantern: Unholy Alliances

Thanos arrives on Earth in the MCU this year, but in 1995, he was a little further away; the universe of DCThe Mad Titan had only one objective. He can't use a weapon without the ring of Green Lantern Kyle Rayner. He first had to test the line between the DC and Marvel universes, so he traded characters. Terrax the Tamer was thrown into DC's universe, while Cyborg Superman was drawn into Marvel's.

IDW'S Infestation

It was only a matter of time before IDW decided to put all of its toys in the same arena because it had so many big licenses in its playpen.To defeat an interdimensional zombie horde in 2011, the company brought together characters from G.I. Joe, Star Trek, Transformers, and Ghostbusters. Infestation, the Epilogue, a four-issue miniseries, concluded this chapter.

Cartoon Network Super Secret Crisis War

IDW and Cartoon Network released a limited miniseries in 2014 spoofing comic book "crisis crossover" specials with one of their own, possibly inspired by their previous property license mash-up idea. Samurai Jack, Ed, Edd 'n Eddy, The Powerpuff Girls, Dexter's Laboratory, and Ben 10 were all part of Super Secret Crisis War.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit

The 1988 live-action/animated film starring Bob Hoskins and the titular Roger Rabbit was the animated version of a Marvel team bringing together iconic Disney, Warner Bros., and Turner Entertainment cartoons. Hoskins passed away in the film.

Like its successor, The Animaniacs, who Framed Roger Rabbit celebrated the Golden Age of animation: a hardboiled detective story set in the 1940s with femme Fatales, dark streets, and animated sequences in the style of Tex Avery.

Freddy Vs Jason Vs Ash

Before Batman v. Superman, Freddy v. Jason from 2003 introduced slasher-on-slasher combat to our screens at previously unheard-of levels. There has been a sequel, but not in the form of a movie, but rather in the form of a six-issue series published by Wildstorm and Dynamite Entertainment.

The narrative, published between 2007 and 2008, featured Ash from The Evil Dead battling against the hockey-masked Crystal Lake killer and the blade-fingered dream stalker as he attempted to stop them from obtaining the Necronomicon and growing more powerful.

Steven Universe/Uncle Grandpa

Characters from the same network have appeared in each other's shows for a long time, but typically only in supporting roles. Steven Universe, a magical boy show on Cartoon Network, and Uncle Grandpa, a show about a magical man who is also an uncle and a grandpa, officially crossed over in 2015. Although both are in the fantasy genre, their tone and style differ.

In the crossover, "Uncle Grandpa travelled to the world of Steven Universe. There, the Crystal Gems, seeing him as a threat, fought him, only to discover that their reality-shifting abilities were insufficient.

The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen

Alan Moore and Kevin O'Neill created their own shared world for DC by incorporating classic literary characters and monsters before Universal Studios killed off its "Dark Universe" before it even started. Even though the original idea was for a "Justice League of Victorian England," the end result is just as geeky and cool as it sounds.

Mortal Kombat 9 & X

One of the most well-known fighting games is Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter and Tekken. Since 1992, when it became famous for starting a censorship debate about ultra-violent video games, the series has continued to be popular. With each new instalment adds more deaths that tear at the spine and slice through the body.

Super Smash Bros

With a "crisis crossover" twist, Super Smash Bros. is Nintendo's response to fighting games like Street Fighter and Tekken, bringing together well-known characters like Link, Mario, Donkey Kong, and Pikachu from various video games to fight a common foe. A huge competitive gaming community has developed around the series since its 1999 debut.
