How would characters you created assimilate with established worlds?

My first book series was about superheroes. Naturally, I imagined how well they'd do against Marvel and DC characters (assuming my powers were taken at face value, a few would clean house). It got me wondering if anyone else fantasizes about their characters being incorporated into something mainstream and how that would go. Would you even want to lose your characters in someone else's playground?

This is not really up the same ally but I was amazed by Kurt Schlichter's book, Indian Country, which has an American map on its cover which pretty much matches a map I had drawn to help me in my writing of my own series Old Men and Infidels. Coming from the same suppositions but going very different directions as far as a "future history" we seem to have converged upon the same real estate

Works for me. Perhaps someone will do research to see if the books are related.

I'm always curious which fantasy characters created by indie authors could help Frodo destroy the one ring. Or, how many gritty space smugglers could race the Millennium Falcon. Would Hermione still be the top witch, if your character went to Hogworts?
