In January 2004, DC Comics published a one-shot crossover comic between the Thundercats and Superman.

Superman, the defender of Earth, meets the toughest 'Cats in a special Crisis Crossover event! While trying to stop Mumm-Ra's minions, the Mutants, from retrieving a magical stone equal in power to the Eye of Thundera, the ThunderCats are hurled into an alternate dimension, downtown Metropolis!

While searching for the Mutants, the 'Cats accidentally cause confusion and chaos all over town. It isn't long before the Man of Steel himself steps in to put a stop to thier antics. Can the Man of Steel withstand a blow from the most powerful sword in just about any universe? Will the ThunderCats be able to get back home alive?

What do you think?...

Tropes used in Superman and the Thundercats include:

• Animation Bump: The 2004-cats get a minor facelift for the comic.
• Ax Crazy: Mumm-Ra, what else is new?
• Badass: Superman and Lion-O.
• Badass Boast: Mumm-Ra will do this in any dimension.
• Bash Brothers: Superman and Lion-O
• City of Weirdos: Subverted when the 'Cats land in the universe of Superman, they walk around Metropolis like they're a common sight, almost blissfully unaware of how things work on Superman's Earth. They are very surprised by everything around them as would be expected; they even comment on the smell of all things!
