11	----
12	!!Tropes appearing in the comic:
13	* AnimationBump: The 2004-cats get a minor facelift for the comic.
14	* BadassBoast: Mumm-Ra will do this in ''any'' dimension.
15	--> '''Mumm-Ra''': I will claim my quarry smeared in your ''blood!!!''
16	--> '''Superman''': You can ''try!!''
17	* BackToBackBadasses: Superman and Lion-O work well together in the final battle against Mumm-Ra.
18	* BigNo: Mumm-Ra lets one out after Lion-O sends him tumbling back into a portal to Third Earth.
19	* BloodierAndGorier: A downplayed case, while there is little to blood during their fight. Superman manages to physically overpower the [=ThunderCats=], even badly beating Panthro. Something that rarely ever happened in the original [=ThunderCats=] cartoon.
20	* TheChessmaster: [[spoiler: Mr. Mxyzptlk]], who conspires with Mumm-Ra. Only to reveal later that he'd been playing Mumm-Ra the entire time.
21	* ConflictBall: The main reason for Superman and the 'Cats fighting each other is incredibly contrived. Though it's justified in due to a combination of [[PoorCommunicationKills poor communication]] on the [=ThunderCats=] part. Along with the Mutants possessing the power of {{Invisibility}}, framing the heroes for various crimes.
22	* CurbStompBattle: Superman vs. The [=ThunderCats=] (other than Lion-O): Superman wins.
23	* ExcusePlot: How could Superman and Lion-O ever team up battle Mumm-Ra? Through the use of magical dimension-hopping {{MacGuffin}}s, of course.
24	* LetsYouAndHimFight: As usual in these types of crossovers, Superman ends up mistaking the [=ThunderCats=] for bad guys and fighting them until the misunderstanding is cleared up.
25	* MultiversalConqueror: Mumm-Ra planned on becoming one, but needless to say [[spoiler: he ended up pretty disappointed after Lion-O and Superman worked together to put a stop to his plans.]]
26	* OvershadowedByAwesome: Poor Panthro; he really didn't stand a chance against old Supes.
27	* PowerCrystal: [[spoiler: The magical stone Mxyzptlk gives Mumm-Ra in order to cross dimensions.]]
28	* QuirkyMinibossSquad: The Mutants, the more things change the more they stay the same.
29	* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: 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.
30	* VillainTeamUp: Mumm-Ra and Lantana Lin/[[spoiler:Mister Mxyzptlk]].
31	* YourMagicsNoGoodHere: Averted, the Sword of Omens (and by extension, the Eye of Thundera) works normally in Superman's universe. Though its vast power is still no match for the Man of Steel.
