	While both Superguy and the LNH revolve around superhero parody, there are considerable differences: Superguy focuses on more general superhero parody rather than specific comics parody; it lacks the LNH's basis in computer terminology and Usenet; it has more satirical use of real-world figures; and it often directly lifts concepts from other media, fanfiction-style, rather than creating trademark-friendly parodies<ref name=invid/>.

-In 1996, Dave Van Domelen's LNH series ''[[Dvandom Force (series)|Dvandom Force]]'' and [[Chris Meadows]]'s Superguy series ''[[Team M.E.C.H.A. (series)|Team M.E.C.H.A.]]'' crossed over in a storyline known as the ''[[Grand Tour]]'', together with several other writing groups Meadows was involved in. The storyline revolved around [[DeFacto V]] recruiting minions from both the [[Looniverse]] and [[000SUPERGUY]] in order to return to his original timeline. Many elements from [[RoboMACs 2163]] became long-term parts of ''Team M.E.C.H.A.'' after this crossover.

 Mike Escutia also wrote a brief LNH/Superguy crossover, ''[[Auld Acquaintances]]'', and after finding that he preferred writing in that universe, moved several of his characters over to that world in ''[[Stolen Hearts]]''.
