History ComicBook / SupermanAndSpiderMan

''Superman and Spider-Man'' (July, 1981) was a ''ComicBook/{{Superman}}''/''ComicBook/SpiderMan'' crossover one-shot issue by Creator/JimShooter and Creator/JohnBuscema, published in the ''Marvel Treasury Edition'' #28. It was the second and last crossover between both characters[[note]]Technically, they would team up again in one of the DC/Marvel "Access" crossover comics in the 90's[[/note]].

* DramaticallyDelayedDrug: Dr. Doom's kryptonite dust is revealed to have been planted on Superman earlier and slowly exposed itself to him over a period of time, completely incapacitating him when it's fully revealed.

* HeroesWantRedheads: Peter Parker, who was not with Mary Jane at the time, starts working freelance for the Daily Planet, and swiftly hits on resident redhead Lana Lang.

Several days later, as swinging around Metropolis, Spider-Man finds one construction site identical to the one which triggered his spider-sense back in New York. Peter decides to crawl into the place and investigate, discovering a huge mechanical complex built underground, wherein Wonder Woman is fighting a group of masked henchmen who have been armed with weaponry able to take her down. After knocking her out, the mooks put Wonder Woman in some kind of subterranean vehicle and drive off, unaware that Spider-Man has attached himself to the rear of the vehicle.

* ApocalypseHow: Doctor Doom develops a new kind of fusion reactor which produces abundant clean energy. Unfortunately, the core is very unstable and is building towards an explosion that will atomize Earth unless someone find a way to stop it.
* ArbitrarySkepticism: Wonder Woman tries to bound Spider-Man with her magic lasso. As dodging her, the hero who has fought alongside Doctor Strange several times and faced plenty magical threats declares he does not believe in "magic lassos".
* BruceWayneHeldHostage: Invoked. Parasite finds out that Superman's friend, Clark Kent has come to New York, and suggests kidnapping him and using him to bait Superman into a trap. However, Doom dismisses Parasite's plan, arguing Clark Kent is an obvious bait to trap them.
* BullyingADragon: Doctor Doom spends the whole story taunting and mocking Superman, even after his anti-Superman's measures fail, believing he is protected by diplomatic immunity and Superman would not dare to violate international law. Doom does not even listen when Superman dares ''him'' to keep on trusting that imaginary lines will protect him from a pissed Man of Steel.

* ComplexityAddiction: Doctor Doom's plan to release Parasite involved too many variables: he built an endlessly screeching micro-drone to drive the Hulk mad(der), lead him into Metropolis and goad him into punching the ground in one exact point to break Parasite's cell, which was located several miles underground. Doom knew the effort of climbing back to the surface would reduce Parasite's energy to dangerously low levels, but Doom planned on Hulk still being around when Parasite crawled his way to the surface. Parasite could have died right there and then, ruining Doom's greater scheme, were it not for Peter Parker taking pictures nearby.

* CrossoverAlternateUniverse: The universe where happens this story -as well as "Superman Vs. The Amazing Spider-Man", "Batman Vs. Hulk", "Batman Vs. The Punisher" and similar crossovers- was called Crossover Earth by DC in ''The Official Crisis on Infinite Earths Indexes'' and Earth-7642 by Marvel Comics in the ''Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe''.
* CrushingHandshake: When Peter Parker arrives at the Daily Planet, Steve Lombard shakes his hand, gloating he will try to not squeeze too hard. At the same time, Peter ponders he is talking to a stupid, arrogant bully who does not know Peter can crush steel with his bare hands.

* ExactEavesdropping: As Doctor Doom finally explains Parasite his plan -letting conveniently out what his scheme's success requires his ally's death-, Spider-Man (who is crawling among the machinery lining the ceiling) hears every word and decides to crawl out of the complex in search of reinforcements.

* GroundPound: In order to leave a company meeting to go out and fight Hulk, Clark Kent stomps the floor hard enough to make the building tremble, making everybody believe Hulk is approaching and evacuate the building.
* HeroesWantRedheads: Peter Parker, who was not with Mary Jane back in the time, starts working as a freelance for the Daily Planet, and swiftly hits on resident redhead Lana Lang.
* HurlItIntoTheSun: When Doctor Doom tries to use one piece of Kryptonite to weaken Superman, the Man of Steel wraps himself in lead to grab it safely and tosses the lethal rock into the Sun.
* KickMePrank: Steve Lombard sticks a "I struck out with Lana Lang" sign on Peter Parker's jacket as pretending to give him a encouraging pat on the back after Peter has made a fool of himself when talking to Lana. Steve hopes Peter will walk all around the town wearing that sign, but Peter notices it straight after, and pranks Steve back by discreetly webbing Steve to his chair.
* KryptoniteProofSuit: Superman improvises one when he goes into Doom's embassy and Doom greets him with a Kryptonite ray. Since Superman knows Doom has walls and floor lead-lined, he rips one chunk of floor, rolls himself up in it and spins at super-speed until the heat from air friction melts the lead into a skintight covering, and gets rid of the Kryptonite before Doom can stop him.

* NoSell: Variant. [[http://megomuseum.com/mmgallery/files/3/7/5/3/pc6sx5.jpg Superman]] challenges Hulk to hit when he is ready. Superman is easily tanking the Hulk's punches -- ''at first.'' However, his endurance is getting Hulk madder, hence progressively stronger, and Superman realizes that he must find another way to stop him soon.

* PayEvilUntoEvil: Downplayed example. Peter Parker is not amused when he realizes Steve Lombard played a "Kick Me" prank on him, so he coats Steve's couch in webbing, ensuring that the Daily Planet's bully will be unable to stand up for one hour.

* RaceAgainstTheClock: Variant. In order to halt Hulk's rampage, Superman challenges the Emerald Giant to punch him again, hoping Hulk will wear himself out trying. At the beginning, Superman simply tanks' Hulk savage blows, but he realizes that Hulk's fury-fueled strength is growing geometrically with each second, so that he must find another way to calm him down before losing the upper advantage.
* RageAgainstTheReflection: As dwelling on the accident which ruined his face, Doctor Doom removes his mask, stares at his disfigured, naked face in a mirror and angrily smashes the reflecting surface to bits. As putting his mask back on, Doom considers banning mirrors after conquering the world.
* RampageFromANail: Hulk is on a rampage and Superman discovers a tiny little machine is emitting a sound that is driving Hulk crazy. Superman destroys it and soon after Hulk begins to calm down.

* RoguesGalleryTransplant: Superman has never faced Doctor Doom before, and Spider-Man is not one of the heroes who use to tangle with him (albeit they square off as soon as ''Amazing Spider-Man'' #3).

* SquirtingFlowerGag: Steve Lombard tries to pull one on a baffled Clark Kent, who cannot believe Steve thinks someone will fall for such an old, dumb trick. Not being in the mood for putting up with Lombard's bullish antics, Clark subtly manipulates the fake flower so it squirts Steve instead.

* UnstoppableForceMeetsImmovableObject: Superman calms down The Hulk by planting himself on the ground and letting the Hulk hit him, thinking that when he decided to become the Immovable Object, no Unstoppable Force could move him. He also hinted that he didn't want the Hulk to get any angrier, or he might become more than even he could handle.

* VillainExitStageLeft: When Parasite destroys Doctor Doom's nuclear weapon's control planet, Doom tries to flee towards a rocket to escape from Earth, but he discovers Spider-Man has disabled the controls. Seconds later, when he realizes the heroes have prevented the world's destruction, he rushes towards the nearest Latverian embassy because he believes his sovereign status will protect him.

* AntiTrueSight: So that Superman cannot find his underground installations built around the globe, Doom invented an invisibility screen to foil his X-Ray Vision. Even if Superman looked underneath the construction sites' he would only see earth and rock.

->'''Superman:''' ''"I want answers, Doom! I gather that you're up to something very big!"''\\
'''Doctor Doom:''' ''"Why, of course I am! I am "up" to gaining absolute dominion over this entire planet! Can it be that this is a surprise to you?"''

Doom knew the effort of climbing back to the surface would worn Parasite's energy off to dangerously low levels, but Doom expected Superman was still around when Parasite crawled his way to the surface...which was not the case. Parasite could have died right there and then, ruining Doom's greater scheme, were it not for Peter Parker walking around the place by sheer coincidence.

* TheDogBitesBack: Despite Parasite being crucial to his scheme's success, Doctor Doom openly and contemptuously treats his so-called ally as a dumb slave who needs a blast to the chest to learn who his master is. Parasite pretends to obey meekly, as inwardly swearing that Doom will pay for this humiliation...which he does when he uses Spider-Man's stolen strength to slam Doom into a wall.

* HurlItIntoTheSun: When Doctor Doom tries to use one piece of Kryptonite to weaken Superman, the Man of Steel wraps himself in lead to grab it safely, and tosses the lethal rock into the Sun.

* MuggingTheMonster: Steve Lombard keeps wearing down the patience of Clark Kent and later Peter Parker's with his bullying and pranks, blissfully unaware that either of them could snap him in half.
* NoHonorAmongThieves: Doctor Doom breaks Parasite out of containment and enlists his help, but their alliance is not congenial. Doom treats Parasite as a slave and refuses to reveal his scheme, despite Parasite supposedly playing a key role in it. When Parasite gets mad and attempts to absorb Doom, Doom just blasts him in the chest, reveals he obviously insulated his armor against his power and commands his "ally" to return to his chambers and wait for Doom's summons. Parasite pretends to obey meekly, as inwardly swearing that Doom will pay for this humiliation.

* ShootingSuperman: Superman moves to New York City for a short time and finds that NYC criminals are just as stupid as their Smallville and Metropolis' ilk, shooting at him even after checking that, yes, bullets bounce right off him.

* KickMePrank: Steve Lombard sticks a "I struck out with Lana Lang" sign on Peter Parker's jacket as pretending to give him a encouraging pat on the back after Peter has made a fool of himself when talking to Lana. Steve hopes Peter will walk all around the town wearing that sign, but Peter notices it straight after, and pranks Steve back.
* KryptoniteProofSuit: Superman improvises one when he goes into Doom's embassy and Doom greets him with a Kryptonite ray. Since Superman knows Doom has walls and floor lead-lined, he rips one chunk of floor, rolls himself up in it and spins at super-speed until the heat from air friction melts the lead into a skintight covering, and gets rid of the Kryptonite before Luthor can stop him.

* NoSell: Variant. [[http://megomuseum.com/mmgallery/files/3/7/5/3/pc6sx5.jpg Superman]] challenges Hulk to hit when he is ready. Clark is easily tanking Bruce's punches -- ''at first.'' However, his endurance is getting Hulk madder, hence progressively stronger, and Superman realizes that he must find another way to stop him soon.

* SpannerInTheWorks: Doctor Doom fails because he did not expect Spider-Man's intervention. So, while Spidey used his webbing to remove the Kryptonite dust coating Superman, his stolen Spider-Sense warned Parasite that he should NOT put on the harness which Doom designed for him.
* SquirtingFlowerGag: Steve Lombard tries pull one on a baffled Clark Kent, who cannot believe Steve thinks someone will fall for such an old, dumb trick. Not being in the mood for putting up with Lombard's bullish antics, Clark subtly manipulates the fake flower so it squirts Steve instead.
