The Reverse Flash could also be a main villain in this crossover. He travels to the Smallville universe to cause trouble. He might target Clark, thinking that by eliminating him early, he can change the future in his favor. This would force Barry and Clark to work together to stop the Reverse Flash's evil plans.
A new meta - human villain created specifically for the crossover could be interesting. This villain could have the power to control shadows and use them to move quickly, mimicking the Flash's speed in a way. In Gotham, he could use the city's many dark corners and alleys to his advantage. He could also be a master of disguise, fooling both the Flash and Batman. His motives could be to take over both Gotham and Central City and create a new world order where meta - humans rule over normal humans.
The Reverse - Flash could be a great main villain. He could travel to Gotham to cause chaos and draw out the Flash. His time - manipulation abilities would pose a huge threat not only to the Flash but also to Batman's carefully planned strategies in Gotham. Batman would have to adapt to dealing with a villain who can move at super - speed and mess with time.
Perhaps in the fanfiction, there's a time - traveling aspect. Barry's time - traveling experiments go wrong and he ends up in Smallville during Clark's high school years. They have to figure out how to get Barry back to his own time while also dealing with a villain who is trying to change the future by targeting Clark in the past. This could involve both of them learning about each other's powers and how to work together effectively.
Clark and Barry would likely start off as cautious allies. Clark, being more experienced in the superhero game in a sense, might initially be a bit of a mentor to Barry. But as they face challenges together, they'd become true friends. Lois Lane would probably be intrigued by Barry's speed and his different approach to reporting. She might even try to get some scoops from him. Meanwhile, Chloe Sullivan could help Cisco Ramon with some of his tech issues, and they'd form a bond over their shared love of all things tech - savvy.
One exciting plot twist could be the discovery of a hidden connection between Smallville's Clark Kent and The Flash's Barry Allen that predates their superhero identities. Maybe they are related in some way through their alien or metahuman genetics. Another could be a villain who has the ability to manipulate time and space, causing chaos in both Smallville and Central City. This would force Clark and Barry to work together in ways they haven't before. A third plot twist might be that a character from Smallville who was thought to be normal actually has latent superpowers that are activated during the crossover, adding an unexpected element to the story.
Maybe the Reverse - Flash. He could somehow cross over into the Percy Jackson world. He'd be a difficult adversary for both Percy and Flash. He could use his negative speed force to slow down Percy's reflexes and disrupt Flash's connection to the speed force. Percy would have to rely on his wits and the power of the sea to fight back, while Flash would have to find a way to overcome the Reverse - Flash's power - draining abilities.
The Reverse - Flash would be really interesting. He could target both Batman and the Flash. For the Flash, he's a long - time nemesis, but for Batman, he'd be a new and extremely dangerous threat. His ability to manipulate the speed force and time could put Gotham in chaos in ways Batman has never seen before. And he could use his knowledge of the Flash to try and set traps for both heroes.
An alien entity that has been dormant beneath Smallville for centuries could awaken. This entity could view Chloe and Clark as threats to its plans of taking over the town and the world. It could use its advanced powers to manipulate the townspeople and turn them against Chloe and Clark, making it a formidable foe.
I really liked a fanfic called 'Power Convergence'. In this story, the Charmed Ones end up in Smallville and they have to figure out how to get back home. Along the way, they meet Clark and his friends. It's a great read because it shows how the different power dynamics from each show would play out when the two worlds collide.
The ability to reimagine character relationships is also unique. Characters who might not have interacted in their original shows can form new alliances or rivalries in smallville crossover fanfiction. For instance, a character from Smallville could have a completely different relationship with a character from 'Supergirl' in a crossover. This gives fans a chance to see their favorite characters in new lights and explore different emotional arcs.
