Organizm vs the Thing vs the Blob vs the Body snatchers


Which would win?

I wish I was in Dixie, Hooray! Hooray!

I like your question, it is a shame no one has answered it in two years. I believe that the body snatchers would be at the bottom of this monster/abomination dog pile simply because they require bodies to snatch, and by the time the other three abominations got finished, there would be not much more than bones, if any, left. A better abomination to use in place of, or in tandem with the body snatchers might be the T-virus from Resident Evil. The T-virus would make the bodies more durable and possible to snatch.

So, the list now consists of two abominations that consume organic material, (Organizm and Blob) and three abominations that modify/duplicate organic material, (The Thing, T-virus, and Bodysnatchers). We know that The Thing is like a virus that can infect biological specimens and duplicate them from the inside out. And we also know that the Thing has a tendency to flip the freak out when spotted or cornered, often killing/infecting everything around it. We know that the Bodysnatchers are a close cousin to The Thing in that they also duplicate/replace their prey, but they do it from a distance while the prey is still wandering around. The T-virus creates abominations with any number of enhanced (albeit usually unfortunate looking) physical or mental abilities, if the subject survives.

So, if this freak show of horrors comes to our town, what can we expect? Of the five, Organizm moves and works the fastest, probably followed close by The Thing. The Blob takes some time to consume organic material and grow, and the Bodysnatchers start as plants and also need time to get started. The T-virus probably works the slowest.

Beginning Town Population:
-500 Humans
-1 Organizm infectious waste filled bathtub
-1 The Thing infected human
-1 Gallon of Blob
-1 Bodysnatcher plant

The Organizm moves in spreading and consuming people left and right while The Thing eagerly spreads and infects as many people as possible. It is not long before the Organizm consumes someone who has been infected by The Thing. Since The Thing survives by creating a duplicate of its host, pretty soon we have The Organizm and The Thing masquerading as The Organizm and people.

Meanwhile, The Bodysnatchers have been steadily doing what they do and there is a new crop of fresh Bodysnatcher pods getting ready to open/hatch. Unfortunately for the Bodysnatchers, half of the people they decided to duplicate were infected with The Thing. This presents some problems since the Bodysnatchers are trying to duplicate a species (The Thing) that is trying to duplicate them in the process of trying to duplicate them duplicating... Anyhow, half of the Bodysnatcher pods open and release pod people into the victim pool while the other half of the Bodysnatcher pods open releasing very conflicted globs of sentient goo.

The Blob lays low and eats any people it happens to encounter. It also finds that some people are tastier than others. Regular humans are the tastiest, and are quickly becoming a rare delicacy, The Thing humans have an unpleasant aftertaste, and the Pod-People are just plain nasty. Nevertheless, the Blob begins to grow.

It is at about this time that The Umbrella Corporation realizes something is up and decides it wants to harvest samples by sending in its latest batch of T-Virus mutated/infected freaks. While the T-virus freaks put up an interesting fight, roughly a quarter are outright dispatched by the Organizm, another group of T-Virus freaks are infected by The Thing pretending to be the Organizm, The Bodysnatchers think "why not" and begin growing a batch of T-Virus freak pod people, half of which are The Thing pretending to be T-Virus freaks.


Current Town Population"
-23 Humans
-6 acres of Organizm
-1 acre of Bodysnatcher Plants with pods
-4 acres of The Thing pretending to be Organizm
-1 acre of The Thing pretending to be Bodysnatcher Plants
-45 The Things pretending to be humans
-26 Pod People
-35 Pod People/The Thing Conflicted Glob Mishaps
-15 T-Virus Freaks
-7 The Thing pretending to be T-Virus Freaks
-8 Pod People T-virus Freaks
-4 The Thing pretending to be Pod People T-virus Freaks
-337 people killed outright by some form of abomination, half of which (169) begin to reanimate because of the T-Virus
-A Ford Station wagon sized Blob that is fast becoming a picky-eater

As the T-Virus reanimations begin, all bets are off if they weren't already. It does not take long before The Thing begins infecting and duplicating the reanimations. The remaining Bodysnatcher pods have begun to grow frustrated and have decided to leave the Earth while they can because there appears to be nothing but trouble here. They leave their pod people behind.

The Pod People/The Thing Conflicted Glob Mishaps begin to pool into a car sized Glob. One of the remaining freaked out humans happens to run, trip, and fall right into the newly formed Glob. The Glob finds the experience delicious and heads off to find more prey.

Organizm eventually is completely replaced by The Thing Pretending to be Organizm. The Thing becomes infected by the T-Virus and begins to undergo mutations that the Devil himself would recoil in horror from.

The T-Virus eventually infects everything that is wandering around, except for the Blob, which has some sort of immunity. The T-Virus also makes anything infected with it taste delicious to the Blob, as well as the Glob.

The Glob, while similar to the Blob, does not have the Blob’s immunity to the T-Virus. After devouring several dozen T-Virus infected meals, it itself becomes infected and begins to mutate.
It takes a giant 40 ton bipedal form and becomes known as The Slob.

Current Town Population:
-12 Acres of T-Virus Thing/Organizm Abomination
-1 40 ton Blob
-1 40 ton T-Virus Slob
-1 Shrieking Pod Person

The 40 ton Blob sees the tasty 40 ton T-Virus Slob and easily devours him. The Shrieking Pod Person can’t get out of the way in time and becomes a nasty after dinner flavor for the Blob. The now 80 ton Blob sets in to feast on the T-Virus Thing/Organizm Abomination. The T-Virus Thing/Organizm Abomination allows the Blob to begin eating it. When the Blob is past the point of escape, the T-Virus Thing/Organizm Abomination uses its newfound T-Virus mutation to simultaneously burn and freeze the Blob with psychic energy. The Blob is destroyed and the T-Virus Thing/Organizm Abomination reigns supreme!







All of our eggs are in one basket, we have to get off of this rock.

Great breakdown scenario there. But I would think the Blob would come out the winner since it can easily dissolve any living matter which would likely include thing organism or T virus etc. Unless the thing creatures or pod people act intelligently and try to freeze it.
