The Best Sci-Fi Crossovers That May Have Slipped Under Your Radar
“Star Trek” may hold the record for most crossovered series; another that few could have predicted involved the X-Men from Marvel Comics. The crossover came via a one-shot comic titled “Star Trek/X-Men,” published in 1996. The book is set during the original five-year mission of the USS Enterprise, so it includes “The Original Series” cast of characters. In the story, the Enterprise crew stumbles across a psionic rift in space, which opens, and a Shi’ar spacecraft emerges to face the Enterprise.
A second, larger craft follows and fires a warning shot at Captain Kirk’s ship. The smaller Shi’ar spacecraft is crewed by the X-Men, consisting of Cyclops, Jean Grey, Wolverine, Beast, Storm, Bishop, and Gambit. They transport over to the Enterprise before their ship explodes and are soon discovered by the crew. Spock psychically detects the X-Men, and they all meet. Of course, they get into a minor kerfuffle, which features a Vulcan nerve pinch that briefly drops Wolverine.
Eventually, the two groups settle their differences and unite to take down Proteus, a mutant who can alter reality and poses a significant threat. The Enterprise crew and the X-Men beam down to a planet and work together, using one another’s powers and abilities to overcome their foe. When the dust settles, the X-Men take the other Shi’ar ship and return to their universe via the rift, leaving the Enterprise to continue its five-year mission.
