::::However, it's not a crossover at all, in any sort of business sense. The Doctor was always a part of the Marvel Universe, from the moment Marvel acquired the license. They were just mixing and matching Marvel UK characters. Many comic scholars postulate the existence of a single entity called the "Marvel UK universe" — which I'm sure today has a numerical designation in the way that Marvel like to number their universes — to which the Seventh Doctor and DH mutually belong. Thus, if they are part of the same universe, there really is no basis for the term "crossover". You can't crossover if you're part of the same universe! {{user:CzechOut/Sig}} <span style="{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}">01:39: Fri 24 Feb 2012 </span> | ::::However, it's not a crossover at all, in any sort of business sense.

:::::Well, I'd still consider it a crossover, especially if it's between a licensed property and a publisher's own property, or between two properties licensed by one publisher - e.g. I'd call "Aliens vs. Predator" a crossover even if they're officially part of the same universe now. And I believe Marvel calls events like "Infinity Gauntlet" that combine many characters from their own titles a "crossover" too. I don't think any definition of crossover requires the characters to be from different universes.
