Accidental Superhero Crossover
Posted by Rodneyon 06. 05. 2008in News Chat
This was a fun little find I tripped over online. You know that guy who won the most on Jeopardy!? 74 games in a row? Yeah. His name is Ken Jennings and he has a blog. Its about a lot of stuff because well, he knows everything.
This little game he came up with puts unlikely comic book movie characters in a crossover in other movies. Not the Characters exactly, but their actors.
So an actor plays a superhero, but later plays a completely different character in an unrelated movie with another actor who once played a superhero. Now you have an Accidental Crossover that threatens the space/time continuum itself. Or not.
Ken Jennings challenges you.
in what movie could you find these accidental comic “crossovers”? (These range from sorta-obvious to insanely hard.)1. Wolverine and Batman–mortal enemies!
2. Mister Fantastic saving the life of The Phantom’s fiancee!
3. J. Jonah Jameson as Kitty Pryde’s secret father!
4. The Penguin mentoring Judge Dredd!
5. Ghost Rider and Punisher–in jail together!
6. Catwoman gets Dick Tracy’s groove on!
7. Nick Fury in a hostage standoff with Lex Luthor!
8. Daredevil enlists–and serves under The Shadow!
9. Sabertooth sleeping with The Hulk’s wife!
10. The Joker menaces Olive Oyl with an axe!
So list the stars, and the movie they were in together.
And no. Your answer does not have to be in the form of a question.

Think back a little further, kids. Burgess Meredith played the Penguin on the 60′s Batman TV series and in 1966′s Batman movie. That would make the answer to #4 pretty easy… Rocky.
Whaddabout Iron Man secretly has hots for Spidey? Or Iron Man teams up with Two Face to catch Blade?
I just realized… there is a movie I own where Judge Dredd faces off against Blade in a Utopian future.
4 is Rocky, “get up you bum because Mickey loves ya”
Burgess Meredith played the Penguin opposite Adam West
The Joker menacing Olive Oyl would make the best movie ever!
Yawn.
