The release ofMarvel vs DC(occasionally print asDC vs Marvel ) in 1996 was perhaps the most momentous crossing over of the 90s - but multiple extreme changes to classic character robbed the outcome of becoming a classic . The fact thatMarvel ComicsandDC Comicswould even consider creating a rule book together , lease alonean entire class of tie - in ' Amalgam ' comics , was a cause for celebration among the DC and Marvel faithful . But the roiling 90s , otherwise known as the Dark Age of Comic Books , cast a shadow over the crossover voter from which it could not turn tail .

The early 90s ensure monolithic changes to the comics industry . Both Marvel and DC released variant blanket , glistening covering and loads of new Issue # 1s in an attempt to entice collector to grease one’s palms multiple copies of issues . Additionally , this was the decade of ' events ' in comic strip : massive shifts in a story that would forever change multiple franchises . This was the decade in which Superman die , Aquaman lost his hand , Batman ’s back was break by Bane , and Spider - Man was put back by a knockoff .

Unfortunately , all those change and more sternly damaged the story overMarvel vs DC . The secret plan involves two Godlike beings , each representing the Marvel and DC Universes , choose champions to agitate in their name ( a clash between the beings proper would destroy all of macrocosm ) . But these booster are not the classic character fans know and love . Spider - Man is n’t Peter Parker , but his ringer Ben Reilly ; Ben took over the Spider - Man mantle thanks to the 90sClone Saga . Green Lantern , normally Hal Jordan , is Kyle Rayner ( thanks to the dealership - change events ofEmerald Twilightin which Hal move around malefic ) . Even the Hulk has retain his intelligence as a answer of an event and is no longer   a rage - filled monster .

These and other changes made the event lose a possible timeless charm . It was too define by the XC to depict anything other than changed interlingual rendition of case or else of the Silver Age fan - favourite . Additionally , character that were massively popular in the 90 like Jubilee , Superboy and Elektra take the place of classic characterssuch as Doctor Strange and Iron Man(neither of whom take in fight of their own ) .

away from a few sparse events between single characters ( such as Superman and Venom ) , a sequel to the playscript has yet to be drop a line .   ApotentialMarvel vs DCsequel eventwould be tremendous - and now that Peter Parker , Hal Jordan and other classic character have come back , they could be used in the supposititious sequel . Marvel vs DCis not a bad series by any means , but were it not for the 90 , it could have been so much more .
