I've read pretty much everything by Tolkien I could find, and then there was nothing else left ._. Same with Lovecraft, but that inspired me to write.

In my mega crossover (or rather, our, as it is a collaboration with my brother), the Occult Nazis don't really have anything to do with actual Nazis but are stylistically similar (just because; the stories are not entirely serious, they involve a lot of specific, absurd humor). Their main power source is the Ubermind (well, that's what we call it between ourselves) - a remnant of an ancient spirit which they are connected to. They also determine who is "worthy" and who isn't by testing everyone they capture for compatibility with the Ubermind. They are led by Gustav Zeitmann who has time-controlling powers. In more humorous moments, they are beefed-up Nazi stereotypes with cliche accents, but they are formidable enemies nevertheless. Another faction like that are the Intergalactic Communists who are - as you may have guessed - represent the Soviet cliches.

Since we've been creating that world for at least 15 years (that not including what I've come up with on my own while he was too little), it's very elaborate and I doubt we'd be able to write anything based on it that would include most details. Not to mention it's constantly evolving - I have to draw diagrams and charts to keep track of the character, faction and power connections, as well as timelines and all that. And of course it's full of nonsensical stuff, added for the laughs but also considered "canon". For once, the way powers interact is based on the color wheel simply because it's easier for me to remember.
