Today, we ask one of the most fantastic questions ever: What if Spider-Man fought Superman... before becoming buddies? We kick things off with the oversized crossover classic Superman vs The Amazing Spider-Man (1976), as Marvel and DC’s flagship icons trade punches and philosophies. Along the way, we uncover behind-the-scenes creator drama, explore the meta-multiversal Earths that allowed this union, and examine how this one-shot helped shape decades of intercompany collaborations. Then, we wrap by pondering the nature of these team-ups—should these icons always clash before camaraderie? And is Earth-7642 the ultimate crossover cosmos?
