The DC Vs Marvel Crossover Was Weird

[@ComicDrake]

Can't believe I have to say this, but Storm being worshiped as a goddess because her tribe is an awe of her power doesn't make her a literal goddess.

[@Exlegion19]

True, but Hickman retconned her to be an Omega level mutant who not only controls weather, but the earth and natural disasters. Also, she’s been retconned more in recent years to be some sort of reincarnated ancient mutant goddess. Makes no sense.

One thing to mention is that in one of the most recent Thor runs there was silhouettes of all the past wielders of the hammers including Superman and Wonder woman. I believe it was in Rule for reflection in Thor: The Worthy.

[@Kiernimbus]

That's actually really awesome

[@nathancarter8239]

DC did something similar in Doomsday Clock: at the end of the comic, one character looks into the future and briefly mentions Superman having "a brawl across the universe with Thor himself... and a green behemoth stronger than even Doomsday". The exact panel contains spoilers if you know comics and word balloons, oddly enough, but it calls for the "Secret Crisis" to commence July 10th, 2030. Only ten more years...

[@cirrustate8674]

The problem I have with that is, Superman isn't actually worthy. Sure, he wields the Hammer briefly during the JLA/Avengers finale, but ONLY because the worthy aspect was temporarily suppressed. Superman drops it at one point, and then goes to pick it back up to give it to Thor, and is unable to. Wonder Woman can pick it up by herself, AND got her outfit transformed by holding it. She is most CERTAINLY Worthy.

DC is a multi-multi-multiverse. Since all have been restored and none is destroyed with every crisis (as Dr. Manhattan implied) Crossover Earth still exist somewhere in it. As for the Amalgam Universe, Marvel stated several times that it was still there and even gave it a designation, however, who knows if it was spared or it has been restored after Secret Wars.

Also, Doctor Strangefate is important to that part of the story since it features Access trying to get away from Strangefate's minions as the good(?) doctor tries to keep the Amalgam universe together and is important to "All Access".
