What If Superman and Silver Surfer Tangled with Impossible Man and Mr. Mxyzptlk?
đď¸They don't want to destroy the universeâthey want to annoy it into submission!
It's comics' most chaotic crossover as the pink-hatted pest and the green chaos goblin take center stage!
Ep. 164 What If Superman and Silver Surfer Tangled with Impossible Man and Mr. Mxyzptlk?
from Silver Surfer / Superman #1 (Marvel & DC, 1997)
Weâre diving into the most mischievous multiversal mayhem! We begin with the golden age debut of DCâs Mr. Mxyzptlk and Marvelâs Impossible Manâs first Fantastic appearance, then head into the wild 1997 crossover where the two Imps trade universesâand troubleâfor Superman and Silver Surfer. Along the way we explore the legacy of comic pranksters, George PĂŠrezâs Marvel/DC legacy, and the lineage of transdimensional trickery. We wrap with speculation about 2025âs upcoming Marvel/DC crossover and ask: are Imps the ultimate fourth-wall breakers?
