But regardless of why Access disappeared, he ultimately did, and he left several iconic crossover comics behind him. Considering the complex nature or the comics he appeared in, he and the other characters that debuted during Marvel versus DC, including the combined Amalgam heroes haven't resurfaced in any kind of official capacity, and they likely wouldn't be able to outside of a co-production from Marvel and DC. This is especially true in the canonical Avengers/JLA comic, which DC continuity would later treat as canon. The other reason, however, might be due to how, over time, the mythology surrounding the Brothers was phased out. That's a practical reason why Access might not play a role in later crossovers. He ultimately becomes the main character in each crossover he's in, which means his actions, and not so much the main heroes, become the driving force of every story. On one hand, one reason Access might have been eliminated is due to how his presence draws attention away from the DC and Marvel heroes. In effect, he has been all but forgotten, never being mentioned once in the storyline. However, in 2004's Avengers/JLA, by Kurt Busiek and George PĂ©rez, Access is never mentioned once. He is mentioned by other characters in other comics, such as Superman/Fantastic Four and Superman/Silver Surfer. See Also: Marvel Versus DC Vol 1 for the comic issues. The DC and Marvel Universes would continue to crossover after Unlimited Access.
