I'm not a big fan of cross-overs, myself, but that was amusing.

Incidentally, you have probably heard of Harry Potter and the Invincible TechnoMage (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3933832/1/Harry_Potter_and_the_Invincible_TechnoMage)? It's a Harry Potter/Marvel crossover where Harry was raised by Tony Stark before coming to Hogwarts.

It has its moments, but it fails for the reason that most cross-overs fail: when you have two contradictory universes colliding, one of them must yield, and in the aforementioned story, naturally it's the wizarding world that ends up looking lame and silly. (How impressive can Voldemort be in a world where you have mutants, aliens, and gods running around?)
