Line 57:
** During Marvel's run of ''[[Star Trek]]'' comics in the late-nineties, they put out two issues of a Star Trek/X-Men crossover (one issue with TOS crew, one with the TNG crew), which also spawned a novel. Odds of Storm or Wolverine mentioning that they actually met Captain Kirk or Captain Picard in a recent issue? Yeah right.
** ''Shogun Warriors'', a comic that featured ''[[Combattler V]]'', ''[[Raideen|Brave Raideen]]'', and ''[[Dangard Ace]]''. Not a chance of them showing up ever again...
* The tabletop wargame ''[[Star Fleet Battles]]'' (and its RPG spin-off ''Prime Directive'') is an interesting case; they're only licenced to use elements of ''[[Star Trek: The
* The [[Milestone Comics|Milestone heroes]] were barred from appearing in DC's ''[[Blackest Night]]'' crossover so the company could avoid possible issues with future reprints. The 2011 DC relaunch had [[Static (comics)|Static]] moving to New York, presumably as a way for DC to avoid using the rest of the Dakota-based Milestone heroes. Despite this, Static appeared in ''[[Justice League Unlimited]]'' without much issue, and Rocket and Icon both appear in ''[[Young Justice (animation)|Young Justice]]''.
* DC briefly published a series of titles centered around the Red Circle heroes, who were owned by [[Archie Comics]]. Archie has now regained publishing rights to the characters and will be launching them in their own titles, meaning that DC can no longer use or mention any of the Red Circle characters, even those who interacted with other DC heroes.

** In 2010, Death appeared in [[Paul Cornell|Paul Cornell's]] ''[[Action Comics]]'' run, with Gaiman's consent and cooperation this time.
* During her run on ''[[Wonder Woman]]'', [[Gail Simone]] was denied permission to use Veronica Cale, a villainess created by [[Greg Rucka]]. Rucka later allowed Keith Giffen to use Veronica as a supporting character in his ''[[Doom Patrol]]'' run.
* Similarly, Simone wasn't allowed to use [[Batgirl (2000 comic book)||Cassandra Cain]] in her ''[[Birds of Prey]]'' run because [[Grant Morrison]] had called dibs on the character for his ''[[Grant Morrisons Batman|Batman Inc.]]'' series. This led to Cass being entirely absent from the DCU for almost a year, much to the ire of her fans.
* ''[[Star Trek: The
** Paramount pretty much considers the series to be canon now after a fan poll overwhelmingly favored its inclusion.
** Yet they haven't adopted anything from TAS without a Live Action Canon background (outside of a few random shout-outs)
