History
Pre-Cry.Sig, the Crossover Queen was X-Men writer/editor [Simonson]. As of Ultimate Mercenary #6, her origin has changed considerably, and System Corrupters #28 revealed her millennia-long history, as a cosmic former hero
When the LNH began, the Crossover Queen took advantage of the rampant crossover chaos in an attempt to conquer the Net. With her henchmen Royalty King and Pointless Death Man she battled the entire LNH and was narrowly defeated by Continuity Champ, who sent her to alt.lwaxana-troi.die.die.die with the Ring of Retcon. (During the Cry.sig she also used a Reality Ray to destroy Canada for the first, though by no means the last, time.) She then briefly gained control of the Crossover Gem but became stranded in rec.org.sca.
After many years she escaped and sought revenge on the LNH. She attacked Earth when Plot-Error Man's failed attempt at retconning the Looniverse caused her to become Captain Killfile's mother, along with millions of other women. During Beige Midnight, she took the Crossover Gem once more and attacked the LNH with an army of personifications of LNH crossovers.
After Beige Midnight, she absorbed the powers of the Elder Gods that Ultimate Ninja had killed and returned to the level of power she had in her youth. Since then she has conquered almost all of Usenet, with the goal of restoring it to its past glory. She seeks to create the Ultimate Crossover, which would involve the entire Internet. To this end she planned to use The Hungry Past to reboot the Looniverse so that it would be accessible to new readers. She used the Crossover Citadel to travel into Flame Wars VI and recruit or capture people from universes destroyed in that crossover to uses as servants or sacrifices to call up the Hungry Past. Ultimate Mercenary and his allies put a stop to her; he tore out her heart (which is made of a cold grey stone) while Victoria Arden threw it into the fire, killing her...
...though not for long. She returned in Just Another Multi-Writer Cascade That Will Probably Never Have An Ending, seeking to collect the crossover energy that was pouring into the world. She sent General Merissa out to accomplish this task.
Personality
A typical would-be universal conqueror type, ruthless and maniacal. Since Beige Midnight, she has changed considerably, becoming more dignified and menacing. She conducts herself with a queenly majesty surrounding a core of white-hot anger.
Powers and Abilities
The Crossover Queen is ruler of the planet H'yddee'uzzz (known as H'yyydde'uz before Infinite April and H'yddee'uz before Beige Noon). She has access to powerful alien technology, such as the Reality Ray. She wields dominion over the Crossover Citadel, whose Crossover Engines have the ability to link together any two works of fiction, granting her the ability to shift between dimensions. Post-Beige Midnight, she also possesses vast mystical powers and near-invulnerability, along with an army of gorillas with jetpacks.
Appearance
A tall, pale, statuesque woman who wears dark purple robes and a crimson cape (which billows dramatically even if there is no wind) and a golden crown inlaid with Kirbytech patterns. Once every year she wears a veil for the "Day of Mourning," whose purpose is yet unknown.
Awards
After taking it upon herself to fix the shenanigans at the 20th Annual RACCies, the 22nd saw her awarded Favorite Villain/Antagonist.
