2025 has been a great year for fans of Marvel and DC’s most popular characters, as they have crossed over again for the first time in years. Stories in Marvel’s Deadpool/Batman #1 and DC’s Batman/Deadpool #1 met, and in some cases merged, some of today’s most popular characters. Of course, it’s far from the first time that fans have seen the Big Two join forces to tell often incredible, though sometimes forgettable, intercompany crossover stories.Fans have learned that even more crossovers are coming when DC releases Superman/Spider-Man #1 in March of 2026, with Marvel’s Spider-Man/Superman #1 following the next month to celebrate the 50th anniversary of their first meeting. That makes it a great time to take a look back at the Big Two’s crossovers over the decades, from the original meetings in the ’70s to the oversaturated team-ups of the ’90s until fans finally got what everyone had been waiting for in the 2000s.While the cover and title of the larger Treasury Edition suggested that Superman and Spider-Man would have the biggest fight ever, they quickly team up instead to stop the combined forces of Lex Luthor and Doctor Doom. The 1981 sequel, Superman and Spider-Man by Jim Shooter, Marv Wolfman and John Buscema, would feature a similar villainous duo, though Lex Luthor was replaced with Parasite. However, it also included interesting matchups between Superman and Hulk as well as Spider-Man and Wonder Woman.
