Thats the job of the editors. The writers can put whatever they want in a story really but its up to the editors to cross check their facts and make sure that facts match up. They also make sure that characters can't apear in two places at once, and try to ensure that timelines an events run properly.

So Joey Q needs to bone up on Marvel ? Or is it someone else ?
An Observation
Marvel Comics began in 1962. Only 14 years later did the first cross-over appear (Superman vs Spider-Man, 1976). This means that Marvel has so far spent more than twice as much time (31 years vs 14 years) hosting its competition's characters rather than relying solely on its own devices.
DC is catching up. It's been around since 1935 (if by another name), so it took 41 years to get to that first cross-over. Only 10 more years to go...
Which means, in the year 2018, both companies will have spent more time using their competition to boost sales than not.
