Mutatis Mutandis: X-Overs

(in chronological order)

Wolfsbane: Welcome to the X-Overs class, a course in the History section that outlines and researches the various events that have brought multiple teams in the X-Family together, usually against a common foe (but sometimes against each other). Though I am new to the faculty, I've been tapped for this course because as far as anyone can tell, I have been on more teams than any other faculty member (various teams named X-Men don't really count, people).

Anyway, here we go. X-Overs are listed below. Some have full play-by-play descriptions, others short summaries and some have both. Some of those are incomplete, and you will find research assignments on the main page for that X-Over. Still others (e.g., Cross-Time Caper, Onslaught and Operation: Zero Tolerance) require full research. Good luck!

Mr. Foley, I'll see you after class...

(1990) Note: Although technically not a crossover because it occurred only in Excalibur, this story is here because of its size and complexity.	When a British train is mysteriously replaced with a similar train from a parallel universe, one in which the Nazis won WWII and now control Europe, Excalibur investigates, only to run into their own alternates, the Lightning Squad. After the inevitable melee, a compromise is reached and the passengers are returned to their rightful dimensions, although the trains are not. However, a bit of Phoenix III's energy brushes against Widget, and suddenly the team, along with Alistaire Stuart, is gone. They find themselves on another parallel world, where Shadowcat is proposed to by the Prince of England, and where technology and sorcery are used simultaneously. After a few short adventures, Phoenix accidentally zaps Widget again, and the train is shunted into another reality. By this time, their method of dimensional travel is known, but Phoenix can't control where they go, and neither, it seems, can Widget, so the team is forced to jump from reality to reality. Some of the worlds they visit are vastly different from our own, and some are very similar, but with slight differences. Invariably, they meet the alternate-reality counterparts of themselves and other friends, although not all are friendly. Along the way, Shadowcat gets left behind, but thankfully, it was on our Earth. The team bounces around until they reach Otherworld, where they encounter the Captain Britain Corps and are forced to hide Phoenix from them to prevent her arrest. Rachel disguises herself as Kitty, and it appears to work, as Excalibur is finally sent home. Months later, when Excalibur is used by Roma to stop the Cosmic Convergence, Roma reveals that the Cross-Time Caper was necessary in order to expose the team to the rigors of cross-reality travel, which they encountered when stopping the Convergence.
