History Main / CrossoverPowerAcquisition

** A two-way example happened when Monica Rambeau (then known as "Blacklight") absorbed power from a ComicBook/GreenLantern ring, and Kyle Rayner (then in his "Ion" phase) absorb power from the Cosmic Cube.

* ''ComicBook/JusticeLeagueMightyMorphinPowerRangers'' has Braniac uses Zedd's [[MakeMyMonsterGrow monster-growing grenades]] on his drones, and later, steals the Rangers' Power Coins and Zords. In response to this, the Rangers raid the Justice League's archives for weapons and equipment from various heroes and villains; in particular, Kimberly gets Green Arrow's arrows and Hawkgril's mask, Jason gets Azrael's sword, Billy gets Prometheus' helmet, and Tommy gets Lex's battlesuit.

* ''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome': Max Dillon's transformation into Electro in ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan2'' turned him into a glowing blue HumanoidAbomination. When he arrives on [[Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse Earth-199999]] in ''No Way Home'', the difference in his world's energy and the MCU's energy has a physiological effect on him. First he regains his human form (albeit [[AdaptationalAttractiveness more conventionally handsome]] than before), [[AdaptationPersonalityChange becomes less mentally unstable (though still power hungry)]] and changes his electricity's color from blue to yellow. When he grabs the Arc-Reactor used to power Peter's 3D printer, it gives him a massive power boost.

*** ''Geats'' again -- his [[Film/KamenRiderGeats4AcesAndTheBlackFox summer movie]] hosted an EarlyBirdCameo from Series/KamenRiderGotchard, and the TransformationTrinket for his special movie SuperMode included a card reader for use with Gotchard's CardsOfPower.

* ''WebAnimation/SuperMarioBrosZ'' features Captain Basilisx, a high-ranking [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Koopatrol]] that was given tremendous power and stone-gaze ability thanks to the serum made by [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Dr. Eggman]].

* ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManAcrossTheSpiderVerse'': It's revealed that [[spoiler:the spider that gave Miles his powers in [[WesternAnimation/SpiderManIntoTheSpiderVerse the first film]] originated from a different universe, having brought to Earth-1610B from Earth-42 by one of the scientists that helped build the super-collider (revealed to be the sequel's villain the Spot). This results in the creation of a Spider-Man who (by the deterministic multiversal rules the Spider-Society operates on) is a CosmicFlaw that endangers the multiverse just by existing, while Earth-42 [[CrapsackWorld went to hell]] without a Spider-Man of its own protect it.]]

** ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcomInfinite'': All the characters, Marvel or Capcom, are able to use the Infinity Stones, and Ultron and Sigma merge together to form Ultron Sigma. [[spoiler: And Thanos steals Ryu's Satsui no Hadou using a device using tech from Mega Man X's world.]]

* ''Fanfic/EidolonInterloper'': After [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess Zant's Shadow Beasts]] return from [[spoiler[[WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom the Ghost Zone, they display ghostly abilities]]]].

** Subverted with Darkseid. When the Infinity Gauntlet winds up on Apokolips and in his hands the heroes are understandably terrified at the prospect of him wielding such power. Fortunately, it is soon revealed that the gauntlet only works in its home universe.

* ''Fanfic/{{Queen of Blood|SirWill}}'': [[Literature/{{Worm}} Taylor Hebert]] dies in the locker she triggered in in canon, but revives three months later as a vampire, inheriting the power of Dracula from ''Franchise/{{Castlevania}}''.

* ''WebAnimation/SuperMarioBrosZ'' features Captain Basilisx, a high-ranking [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Koopatrol]] that was given tremendous power and stone-gaze ability thanks to the serum made by [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Dr. Eggman]].

* ''WesternAnimation/DuckDodgers'': "[[Recap/DuckDodgersS1E9 The Green Loontern]]" sees Dodgers acquire a ComicBook/GreenLantern Power Ring through a laundromat mix-up.

* ''[[Recap/CodenameKidsNextDoorSpecialTheGrimAdventuresOfTheKND The Grim Adventures of the KND]]'': The Delightful Children from Down the Lane and Billy (wearing his dad's pants with Grim's scythe lodged in it) end up falling into the Delightfulization Chamber. This results in the Delightful Reaper, a HumanoidAbomination that seeks to assimilate everyone into its HiveMind, growing larger and more powerful with every person it assimilates.

* Subverted in ''ComicBook/MarvelVersusDC''. Franchise/WonderWoman briefly wielded [[ComicBook/TheMightyThor Thor]]'s hammer Mjolnir, but gave it up to make her battle with [[Characters/MarvelComicsStorm Storm]] fair.
* In ''ComicBook/JLAAvengers'':

* In ''ComicBook/StarTrekGreenLantern'', many ''Film/{{Star Trek|2009}}'' characters gain [[ComicBook/GreenLantern Lantern rings]].
* ''ComicBook/FreddyVsJasonVsAsh'' has [[Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet Freddy Krueger]] getting the [[Franchise/EvilDead Necronomicon ex Mortis]] and using it to wreak havoc.

* In ''ComicBook/{{Superman}}/ComicBook/FantasticFour'', Superman enters the Marvel Universe looking for Galactus, being tricked into thinking that Galactus was the reason for Krypton's destruction. In his pursuit, Galactus turns Superman into his newest Herald. According to Reed Richards, Superman with the Power Cosmic is now the ''second'' most powerful being in existence. Even if remotely true, then that is ''very'' high level of power, even for Superman.
* ''ComicBook/RoboCopVersusTheTerminator'': [=RoboCop=] creates a new body and weapon for himself with future technology [[spoiler: from Skynet]] in the final half of the story. This crossover is also a rare example of this trope being applied ''as a retcon'', as the plot is instigated by the discovery that Skynet gained sentience by interfacing with Alex Murphy's cyborg brain.
* The ''ComicBook/JusticeLeague[=/=]Franchise/{{Predator}}'' crossover had Predators who were altered to gain the powers of the Justice League.
* ''ComicBook/BatmanTeenageMutantNinjaTurtles'': This has happened in all three volumes, but each with a different reason.
** Vol 1: {{Inverted}} For the Turtles and Splinter. The Mutagen is incompatible with the laws of Physics in Franchise/TheDCU, making it inert. Meaning that staying in the DC Universe for too long will turn them back into the basic animals they were originally. However, it's played straight with the villains. While the effects aren't permanent they still Mutate into various different BeastMen. Both Ra's Al Ghul and Shredder planned to bring the Mutagen to the other villains around the world, destroying every city along with its heroes.
** Vol 2: Once Bane crosses over to the TMNT Universe[[note]][[NiceJobBreakingItHero You can blame Donnie for that]][[/note]] and takes over the Foot Clan[[note]]Shredder is in prison[[/note]] he forces Baxter Stockman to create a new batch of Venom, which he has Bebop, Rocksteady and his new army of Foot Soldiers use. Bane however is given a new special brand of Venom, one mixed with the Mutagen, making him twice the size of already now even bigger Bebop and Rocksteady. With his newfound strength, he puts Master Splinter into a coma[[note]]He later woke up and recovers thanks to the Lazarus Pit[[/note]], and it took the combined strength of Batman, Splinter and ''[[EnemyMine The Shredder]]'' to take him on. Donnie himself uses Venom as he tries desperately to correct his mistake of releasing Bane into his universe.
** Vol 3: Likely because of the two previous crossover events, Krang discovers, then fights and even ''kills'' [[{{Antimatter}} The Anti-Monitor]]. Then uses his corpse as his new [[PoweredArmor suit]]. With it, he had the power to manipulate and affect the [[TheEarthPrimeTheory Prime Earths]] of the two Multiverses and combine them together.
* ''ComicBook/MightyMorphinPowerRangersTeenageMutantNinjaTurtles'':
** After discovering Tommy's deception and imprisoning him, Shredder has Baxter Stockman transfer ownership of Tommy's morpher and power coin to himself, allowing Shredder to become a Power Ranger.
** In issue #3, Rita and Shredder find a way to block the Rangers from morphing, but the Power Coins remain active. The Rangers get around this problem by giving their coins to April and the Turtles, allowing them to become Power Rangers in the original team's place. The Rangers on the other hand take use ninja gear, weapons, and tactics given to them by Splinter to continue contributing to the fight against the villains. They also contribute in the HumongousMecha battle by taking Donatello's technology and enlarging Metalhead, culminating in combining Metalhead and the Dinozords together into the Turtle Megazord.
** In Vol. 2, the villains brainwash Casey Jones and give him a morpher of his own to become "Ranger X". The Turtles later find even more damaged morphers, revealing that Krang had taken them from a team of Dimension X Rangers that he had defeated; and they use them to gain Ranger powers that aren't tied to the Mighty Morphin' team. Meanwhile, the villains disable the regular Rangers' morphing again, which they get around this time by adding the Turtles' mutagen to the process and morphing into dinosaur mutants. On the villains' side, Krang has taken his usual practice of piloting a MobileSuitHuman and scaled it up by stealing the Megazord and modifying it for his own use. The heroes counter this with another round of borrowing and combining each other's HumongousMecha, with Zordon and Alpha in Metalhead and Shredder (as the Green Ranger again, in an EnemyMine with the Rangers and Turtles) in the Dragonzord to form the Dragon Turtlezord.

* ''ComicBook/PlanetOfTheApesGreenLantern'' has the conflict start from Cornelius obtaining the Universal Ring, a power ring with control over all seven colors of the emotional spectrum, sometime after the events of ''Film/PlanetOfTheApes1968''.

* ''Fanfic/MischiefMHA'': Several ''MHA'' characters gain access to abilities or items from the Marvel Universe.
** Tenko's hero costume features several Stark technology gadgets.
** Ochako gains the power of the Ten Rings.
** Tenya receives the Ebony Blade.
** [[spoiler:Tensei is the new Ghost Rider.]]
** Melissa uses the Green Goblin's glider amongst other gadgets, as well as Pym Particles.
** [[spoiler:Setsuna becomes Venom's new host during the I-Island arc.]]
* Happens quite often in the ''Series/GameOfThrones/TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}}'' crossover series ''Fanfic/TheMountainAndTheWolf'':
** The Wolf arranges for Jaime to have his golden hand possessed by a (likely Slaaneshi) daemon, making it able to move and change shape.
** [[spoiler:Theon Greyjoy]] gets hit with the Call to Glory spell during the Battle of Winterfell, turning him into a Champion of Chaos and making him physically larger, stronger, giving him super-eyesight, and [[spoiler:restoring his genitals]]. His confidence levels are still just as low though.
** Many of the Westeros characters who join the Wolf (Ironborn, Wildlings, Dothraki...) exhibit Chaos mutations such as tentacles or horns. [[spoiler:Ramsa, Littlefinger, both Gregors and Euron]] get brought back to life with all kinds of new gifts and mutations to serve their new masters.
** The Wolf trades away Westeros dragonglass to the Chaos Dwarves, as it keeps its OneHitKill properties against Warhammer's undead.
* ''Fanfic/TheInfiniteLoops'' runs on this trope. Considering that the premise of this MassiveMultiplayerCrossover includes characters visiting other franchises in "fused loops", it's expected by any and all loopers that they can and will obtain powers from other settings. It's more notable when a looper ''cannot'' obtain powers from other settings (like the Post Guy) or certain powers are specifically programmed by the Admins to be unobtainable ([[TabletopGame/{{Exalted}} Exaltations]] or [[Series/DoctorWho Time Lord tech]].)

* ''Fanfic/{{Queen of Blood|SirWill}}'': [[Literature/{{Worm}} Taylor Hebert]] dies in the locker she triggered in in canon, but revives three months later as a vampire, inheriting the power of Dracula from ''Franchise/{{Castlevania}}''.
* In the ''WesternAnimation/RiseOfTheGuardians/WesternAnimation/BigHero6'' crossover fanfiction ''Fanfic/LightingCandles'', Tadashi Hamada, who was an ordinary engineering student from a non-magical world in his film, comes back as a fire spirit/[[spoiler:[[AsianFoxSpirit kitsune]]]] after his [[DeathActivatedSuperpower canonical death]] [[DeathByIrony in a fire]] in a similar manner to Jack Frost in ''Rise of the Guardians'', with one big difference: Tadashi still remembers and wants to protect his loved ones, even though they can't see him. As a former science geek, he [[DontThinkFeel has trouble embracing his instinctual magical abilities]] and fears hurting others, but eventually, he too becomes a Guardian of Childhood and gains believers.

* In ''FanFic/ShatteredSkiesTheMorningLights'', the {{magical girl}}s from the ''Franchise/SailorMoon'', ''Manga/CardcaptorSakura'', ''Anime/PrettyCure'', and ''Franchise/MadokaMagica'' universes build "[[{{Magitek}} Augmented Magical Power Devices]]" with the help of technology from the [[Franchise/LyricalNanoha Nanoha universe]] and assistance from the Nanoha cast. Other than having communicators, energy shields, and basic life support functions, each AMP Device is customized to the unique abilities and needs of its user.

* The ''Series/{{Andromeda}}/Franchise/StarWarsLegends'' crossover ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/1055655/1/All-That-Glitters All That Glitters]]'' had Harper lose a tool required to get the ship moving during a desperate situation, and Force Pull it into his hand. The sequel had him as a proper student taught by a Jedi.
* ''Fanfic/DungeonKeeperAmi'': When Sailor Mercury becomes a Keeper, she gains access to a power set that is enough by itself to let Keepers become nation-level threats, giving her the ability to sense and influence everything in her territory. It also turns out to synergize quite well with her native senshi abilities (eg being a senshi means she regains magic much faster, and being able to possess minions allows her to [[spoiler:grant Cathy access to her senshi transformation, for SuperStrength and SuperToughness]]). If she could just get back to Earth, she would be in a much better position to defeat the Dark Kingdom...but there's a long road ahead, to regain her soul, before that's possible.

* In the ''Toys/{{Bionicle}}/WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'' crossover fic ''Fanfic/DestinysDivide'', in which Team RWBY [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg (and Emerald and Neo)]] end up on the island of Mata Nui, they discover that they can use the powers of Toa Mata's [[MaskOfPower Kanohi masks]] without having to use the physical Kanohi themselves. They also find out that they can choose which mask power to use via their [[SupernaturalPhone Scrolls]]. When Weiss wonders how it's possible, Blake suggests that [[BigGood Mata Nui]] is helping them.
* Attempted unsuccessfully in ''FanFic/ARedRoseInTheBlueWind''. Ozpin decides to see if he can unlock Aura powers in Sonic, only to find that he can't despite Sonic obviously possessing a soul.
* The plot of ''Fanfic/MutantStorm'' is set off when, at the end of book 5, Harry's X-gene awakes, giving him {{Teleportation}} and {{Intangibility}}.
* In ''Fanfic/EidolonInterloper'', after [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess Zant's Shadow Beasts]] return from [[spoiler:[[WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom the Ghost Zone, they display ghostly abilities]]]].
* In ''Fanfic/JojosAlienAdventure'', [[Characters/Ben10BenTennyson Ben Tennyson]] becomes a [[FightingSpirit Stand]] user after being sent to the time of ''[[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders Stardust Crusaders]]''. When it becomes clear that DIO has taken an interest in the Ultimatrix, Joseph and Avdol begin discussing training Ben in [[PowerOfTheSun Hamon]] as a protective measure.
* ''Fanfic/ToForgetIsUnforgivable'': After commiting suicide, [[Manga/MyHeroAcademia Midoriya Izuku]] becomes a [[Manga/JujutsuKaisen cursed spirit]], and because he haunts Katsuki, the blond ends up having cursed energy as well on top of his quirk.

* In ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManAcrossTheSpiderVerse'', it's revealed that [[spoiler:the spider that gave Miles his powers in [[WesternAnimation/SpiderManIntoTheSpiderVerse the first film]] originated from a different universe, having brought to Earth-1610B from Earth-42 by one of the scientists that helped build the super-collider (revealed to be the sequel's villain [[MikeNelsonDestroyerOfWorlds The Spot]]). This results in the creation of a Spider-Man who (by the deterministic multiversal rules the Spider-Society operate on) is a CosmicFlaw that endangers the multiverse just by existing, while Earth-42 [[CrapsackWorld went to hell]] without a Spider-Man of its own protect it.]]

* In ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan2'', Max Dillon's transformation into Electro turned him into a glowing blue HumanoidAbomination. When he arrives on [[Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse Earth-199999]] in ''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome'', the difference in his world's energy and the MCU's energy has a physiological effect on him. First he regains his human form (albeit [[AdaptationalAttractiveness more conventionally handsome]] than before), [[AdaptationPersonalityChange becomes less mentally unstable (though still power hungry)]] and changes his electricity's color from blue to yellow. When he grabs the Arc-Reactor used to power Peter's 3D printer, it gives him a massive power boost.

* This is often found in ''Franchise/ToeiTokusatsu'' crossovers:[[note]]And just to keep the list from becoming too unwieldy, this list should ''only'' include special crossovers and not include times where PowerCopying of prior heroes takes place without them being present.[[/note]]

* One of ''VideoGame/AnotherEden''[='s=] collaborations with the ''VideoGame/TalesSeries'' involves ''Eden'' getting its own version of a traditional ''Tales'' sidequest where the heroes have to find a series of cursed weapons and then fight an OptionalBoss to turn them into [[InfinityPlusOneSword Infinity +1 Weapons]] that grow stronger the more enemies are killed, essentially giving ''Eden'' characters access to special ''Tales'' weapons.

* ''VideoGame/Injustice2:'' In the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' ending, they get powered up by the same 5-U-93-R nanotech that leveled the playing field for the cast in the first Injustice. With this new powerup, they are able to beat Krang and Shredder with ease.

** In "Green Lantern Vs. Ben 10", Boomstick somehow manages to acquire an Omnitrix, and immediately begins cycling through the different aliens. As he does so, Wiz explains to the audience how overusing the Omnitrix can risk permanently disfiguring the user's [=DNA=]. We then see Boomstick has become [[BodyHorror an amalgamation of the aliens in the Omnitrix]] and leaves to [[BizarreAlienBiology pee out his face]].
** In "Dio Vs. Alucard", when Wiz is talking about how Dio gained a [[FightingSpirit Stand]] after being struck by a holy arrow, we see Boomstick prick himself with said holy arrow, and gain a Stand that looks like a floating can of beer with a moustache and hat, which he calls "99 Bottles". The Stand has the power to zap people and turn them into giant cans of beer.

* ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'' did this twice in two separate crossovers.
** In ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerbMissionMarvel'', Baljeet is blasted with gamma rays that give him the powers of ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk.
** During the course of ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerbStarWars'', Ferb is blasted with Dr. Darthenshmirtz' Sithinator, and gains [[Franchise/StarWars the power of the dark side of the force]].
* The ''WesternAnimation/DuckDodgers'' episode "[[Recap/DuckDodgersS1E9 The Green Loontern]]" sees Dodgers acquire a ComicBook/GreenLantern Power Ring through a laundromat mix-up.

* In ''[[Recap/CodenameKidsNextDoorSpecialTheGrimAdventuresOfTheKND The Grim Adventures of the KND]]'', the Delightful Children from Down the Lane and Billy (wearing his dad's pants with Grim's scythe lodged in it) end up falling into the Delightfulization Chamber. This results in the Delightful Reaper, a HumanoidAbomination that seeks to assimilate everyone into its HiveMind, growing larger and more powerful with every person it assimilates.

[[caption-width-right:350:[[Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet A murderer who kills people in their dreams]] using [[Franchise/EvilDead the literal Book Of The Dead]]. Yeah... We're boned.]]

*** A web special had Tycoon from ''Series/KamenRiderGeats'' meet Shinobi from ''Series/KamenRiderZiO'', giving Tycoon a new form modeled on Shinobi.
*** ''Geats'' again -- his summer movie hosted an EarlyBirdCameo from Series/KamenRiderGotchard, and the TransformationTrinket for his special movie SuperMode included a card reader for use with Gotchard's CardsOfPower.

** Series/UltramanTaiga and his friends spend most of the series using bracelets with powers from other Ultramen for special attacks. The actual crossover comes late in the series when Taiga receives a visit from his second cousin Franchise/UltramanZero, and Zero grants him his own bracelet.

* In ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManAcrossTheSpiderVerse'', it's revealed that [[spolier: the spider that gave Miles his powers in [[WesternAnimation/SpiderManIntoTheSpiderVerse the first film]] originated from a different universe, having brought to Earth-1610B from Earth-42 by one of the scientists that helped build the super-collider (revealed to be the sequel's villain [[MikeNelsonDestroyerOfWorlds The Spot]]). This results in the creation of a Spider-Man who (by the deterministic multiversal rules the Spider-Society operate on) is a CosmicFlaw that endangers the multiverse just by existing, while Earth-42 [[CrapsackWorld went to hell]] without a Spider-Man of its own protect it.]]

*** Captain Marvel is empowered by the Elder Gods in his own ending in a similar way to how he got his original powers, except that the magic word in this case is "MORTAL KOMBAT!!"

* ''VideoGame/MortalKombat11'':

** In Vol. 2, the villains brainwash Casey Jones and give him a morpher of his own to become "Ranger X". The Turtles later find even more damaged morphers, revealing that Krang had taken them from a team of Dimension X Rangers that he had defeated; and they use them to gain Ranger powers that aren't tied to the Mighty Morphin' team. Meanwhile, the villains disable the regular Rangers' morphing again, which they get around this time by adding the Turtles' mutagen to the process and morphing into dinosaur mutants. Meanwhile, Krang has taken his usual practice of piloting a MobileSuitHuman and scaled it up by stealing the Megazord and modifying it for his own use.

*** Like ''Gokaiger'', ''Series/KikaiSentaiZenkaiger'' and ''Series/AvataroSentaiDonBrothers'' have extensive PowerCopying gimmicks where they borrow abilities from previous teams, even though in these cases they generally don't actually cross over with those shows. But they do have some overlap with ''each other''; and in an EarlyBirdCameo in ''Zenkaiger'' and the first quarter of ''[=DonBrothers=]'', they make use of Don Zenkaioh, a CombiningMecha made up of one mecha from each series. Later on in a post-series movie, Zenkaizer and Don Momotaro (in his SuperMode) cross their powers, with each getting the other's chestplate, cape, and forehead insignia.

** When Series/UltramanTaiga receives a visit from his second cousin Franchise/UltramanZero, Zero grants him a bracelet that lets him use his (Zero's) special techniques.

* The ''ComicBook/JusticeLeague[=/=]Film/{{Predator}} crossover had Predators who were altered to gain the powers of the Justice League.

* ''ComicBook/{{Alien}}'': If the other universe being crossed-over with has alien species that are disposable, expect at least one alien hybrid to be birthed from one. There have been [[Franchise/MortalKombat tarkatan]] xenomorphs, [[ComicBook/NewGods parademon xenomorphs]] and the most famous, the [[ComicBook/AlienVsPredator PredAlien]]. Of course, if the aliens in question ''aren't'' disposable, then they'll inevitably find a way to get rid of their chestburster infection and subvert the trope.

* ''VideoGame/MortalKombatVsDCUniverse'':
** Downplayed with [[Franchise/MortalKombat Sonya Blade]]'s arcade ending. She acquires a Franchise/GreenLantern ring but has no means to charge it or contact the rest of the Green Lantern Corps.
** Also in Mortal Kombat vs DC. Universe, in Catwoman's ending, she ends up gaining an Animality that turns her into a big panther.
