Crossover (fiction)

A crossover is the placement of two or more otherwise discrete fictional characters, settings, or universes into the context of a single story. They can arise from legal agreements between the relevant copyright holders (known as intercompany crossovers), common corporate ownership or unofficial efforts by fans.

This article is about combinations of separate fictional universes in new works. For unauthorised adaptations of existing works, see Mashup. For unauthorised adaptations of existing novels but set in alternative universes, see mashup novel.

This is different from a spoof, where one discrete character, setting, or universe, copies another character, setting, or universe, often in a comedic manner.
