Marvel and dc crossover full#
In Invasion! the Dominators - an advanced, hierarchal society full of long-toothed beings with red circles on their foreheads - arrive on Earth to harvest metahumans for their own army. Invasion! will be the inspiration, if not the actual plot for the groundbreaking four-series DC crossover, which Guggenheim wrote the story and co-wrote the teleplay of the Legends of Tomorrow episode portion. Invasion! was Mantlo’s first DC gig after working for Marvel, where he created Rocket Raccoon. In 1988, DC published the crossover Invasion! co-written by Keith Giffen and Bill Mantlo. Shortly afterwards, Arrow and Legends of Tomorrow producer Marc Guggenheim went on Twitter saying Bill Mantlo was one of his heroes.

With a four-way DC TV crossover set to happen on the CW this fall, there had to be a force powerful enough to unite the heroes from Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, and Legends of Tomorrow.
