In
1996,
DC and
Marvel Comics made a
four comic series featuring the biggest names in each of their respective comic universes doing battle. Two
cosmic beings, known as "the brothers", each representing one of
the universes, noticed each other for the first time. In doing this, they opened a gate between the universes, randomly moving people from one
universe to another. Soon after this, a
contest was initiated by
the brothers: The greatest heros of each universes would battle each other until one of the two was
immobilized, the other would score a win. After the battles had all ceased, the universe with the least wins would be annihilated entirely. The
heros were reluctant to do battle with other
heros. After the contest, instead of one destroying the other, the
two universes melded into one (which basically spawned
Amalgam Comics). Immediately afterward,
Access, one of the "
shards" of the brothers, with help from
The Spectre and
The Living Tribunal restored the
universes to their original conditions.
