* SpotlightStealingCrossover: It's pretty clear that ''Franchise/MortalKombat'' takes the helm as the one with the most influence throughout the story. Ignoring the prologue, the first chapter is based on the MK Universe, with much of the conflict initiated by said universe's characters. Shao Kahn spends a tenure of [[spoiler: two]] fics before being ousted as the BigBad, and much of his underlings, while hailing from across the universe, are composed of MK characters in the majority. That's not to say for the heroes either, all being led MK characters (CNM has Raiden, ASB has Fujin in a bit of a downplayed role, and MSK has [[spoiler: Fire God Liu Kang]]). Even in MSK where [[spoiler: Kahn is all but dead]], MK's villains maintain a good chunk of influence. Despite said fic focusing more on the ''Tekken''-based conflict of ''Tekken 6'', said remaining MK villains continue to work behind the scenes and remain a constant nuisance, even among the protagonists.
