Crossover (fiction)

Crossover in fiction can refer to a variety of concepts, often involving characters or elements from different stories, genres, or universes coming together. This can include crossovers in literature, movies, television shows, and even video games.

Types of crossovers

Literary crossovers

In books, authors might integrate characters from one series into another. For example, Sherlock Holmes might interact with characters from the Harry Potter universe, creating a unique storyline that engages fans of both.

Film and television crossovers

TV shows often feature crossover episodes where characters from one show appear in another. A popular example is the crossover between DC Comics and Marvel Comics characters, including the various superhero shows in the Arrowverse, like Arrow, The Flash, and Supergirl.

Genre crossovers

Some stories blend two different genres, such as a romantic comedy set in a sci-fi universe. This can lead to interesting and unexpected plot developments.

Fan fiction

Many fans create their own crossover stories, bringing together characters from different franchises to explore new possibilities and relationships.

Multiverse concepts

In some narratives, the multiverse theory allows different universes to collide, leading to complex interactions among characters from diverse backgrounds.
