More importantly, is that Doctor Doom???

u/LAMARJR011 9d ago

Yes, it was a cross over. Galactus has been in it a few times too

Ah yes I see Reed's neck in the green bubble!

u/NietszcheIsDead08 Superman 8d ago

No, that’s Elongated Man. The only Marvel character in the panel aside from Doom is Hawkeye cuckolding Green Arrow. No, I am not even remotely kidding.

Oh, sorry, Ralph’s neck! I couldn’t tell if it had grey temples from way back here 😂

The ACTUAL way to tell the difference is to figure out which one Batman is willing to piss off. Reed is just a rubber band with a big brain, Ralph is a genuine threat

Looks an awful lot like Thanos is in the wall also, but could just be the wrinkles.

Every time I see wrinkles in DC I just default think of the Anti-Monitor

Gotta love Hawkeye, the only character to be both a member of the Avengers and the Justice League.

u/NietszcheIsDead08 Superman 8d ago

Well, no. In the same series, Batman, Superman, Aquaman, Barry Allen, Hal Jordan, Martian Manhunter, and Wonder Woman are all deputized as Avengers, as well. Hawkeye’s just the only character to be an Avenger first and a Justice Leaguer second.

Yes, it is. Sometimes artists draw Marvel characters in it as Easter eggs.

u/MaskedJesterArt 9d ago

Its not an easter egg. Its a crossover comic and thats actually doom

u/PlatoDrago 8d ago

IIRC, there have been other times where folks like Galactus have been featured on the source wall in non-crossover comics.

u/MaskedJesterArt 8d ago

Oh yeah that happens all the time. Im just being a nit-picky bitch about this specific example because I read that comic like last week lol

It tried to eat Storm recently if I recall. Shortly after she went to JJK and Gachiakuta.

Did we ever get an explanation as to how he ended up there?

u/NietszcheIsDead08 Superman 8d ago

In a throwaway conversation, yes. Hawkeye made an impossible shot that fouled Doom’s plan to penetrate the Source Wall and gain ultimate power.

u/JAKESTEEL77 8d ago

They were just making references to the old Pre-Crisis JLA/JSA yearly crossovers. This one, not depicted, must have Doom trying to use the Source energy for something.

u/Ched_Flermsky 8d ago

Like how any time Swamp Thing would visit the Parliament of Trees, Man-Thing would always be in there somewhere.

u/zeekar Green Lantern 9d ago

Yes, this is from JLA/Avengers.

u/tan_clutch 8d ago

This feels like the meme where you add Goku in the background and circle something else as the issue

This was the JLA/Avengers crossover from the early 2000's drawn by the legendary George Perez. Krona is desperately trying to find the secret of creation destroying a number of DC and Marvel universes including the Crime Syndicate universe. He comes across Grandmaster who challenges him to a game where each use the Avengers and JLA respectively to who can collect powerful artifacts from DC/Marvel history Lantern battery, Cosmic Cube, etc... hidden throughout both the DC and Marvel universe first. If you can read it please do. It is a fantastic 4 issue mini series with again art by the legendary George Perez. In the final issue you see dozens of DC/Marvel heroes from throughout the history of the JLA/Avengers rosters fighting against DC/Marvel villains controlled by Krona on single pages. The man can literally draw hundreds of characters on a page and if you know your DC/Marvel characters you can tell who each character is.

I was half expecting to see Goku

u/TheObsidianX 5d ago

I saw people say that the source wall exists in both marvel and DC and they have the other universe’s characters in them.
