I think about stuff like this all the time. Instead of all of those "Who's stronger, Hulk or Thor?" things I'd love to see (as parody. I think) "Who would win, That Which Endures or Sublime?" It would be an (ironically) huge crossover called "Germ Warfare," but it would probably all come down to viral marketing in the end, though...
(For those who don't remember, "That Which Endures" was a sapient bacteria colony from John Byrne's run on West Coast Avengers, and Sublime is a sapient virus from Grant Morrison's X-Men and Frank Tieri's Weapon X. You kind of wonder, do they know each other? Exchange infections for the holidays? Etc.)
And let's not forget The Thousand (a hive-mind colony of sapient spiders that eat their way inside their victim and control him, connected to the original radioactive spider, in Spider-Man's Tangled Web) vs. those sapient cockroaches from the She-Hulk graphic novel (which did exactly the same thing). Would they compete? Team up? Try to eat each other? Fall in love? Start an online marketing pyramid scheme? Oh, and there's also Swarm, another hive-mind of bees which surrounds this guy's radioactive skeleton, I think. (Glowing radioactive skeleton-characters -- of which, thinking about it, there are quite a few (Atomic Skull, Dr. Phosphorus, Negative Man et al), and that doesn't even count characters who just have transparent flesh (Mr. Bones, Glob Herman, etc.) -- would be a topic for another time.)
