Since Disney owns Marvel now, I am surprised we have not yet seen any crossovers similar to the DC vs Warner Bros comics done a while back. The Warner Bros characters pretty much owned DC in those encounters.
I figure Disney characters are OK here, since there is no Disney forum and the Disney characters have a long and continuous comic history (longer than Marvel) going back to the early 30s, with a number of the characters appearing in the comics first. Disney Comics also have a creator of similar status to someone like Lee or Kirby over at Marvel: writer/artist Carl Barks developed Donald Duck and created Scrooge McDuck; Comic's Journal's list of 100 top comics of all time includes a couple of his stories; he is in the Eisner Awards Hall of Fame; and one of his comic scenes inspired one of the most famous scenes of Raiders of the Lost Ark (no, it's not the bit where the Nazis are all violently killed by the Ark). When he died aged 99 his passing was big news in Europe but barely covered in the US.
Also, on thinking about Disney, and after a few beers, I noticed strong resemblances or parallels between some of the Disney and Marvel characters (though the Disney characters long predate most of their Marvel counterparts). So a VS battle seemed in order.
The lineup:
1) Howard the Duck vs Donald Duck
2) Mickey Mouse vs Vermin
3) Bug vs Jiminy Cricket
4) Kingpin's thugs vs the Beagle Boys
5) Sentry (non-void) vs Super Goof (fully powered up)
6) Longshot vs Gladstone Gander
7) Morgan Le Fay vs Magica De Spell
8) Clarabelle Cow vs Hellcow aka Bessie the Vampire Cow
9) Lockjaw vs Pluto
10) Vision vs Pinocchio
11) Peter Pan vs Northstar
12) Chip 'n Dale vs Squirrel Girl
(9-11 are Disney versions of course!)
Let the battles begin.
