Swamp Thing could turn Clayface into a ChiaPet.

You know how hard it can be to think up ideal battles when a look through the OHOTMU tpb can't give you any ideas lol. I did think earlier today that Black Widow VS Viper would be interesting. Or VS Superia. Kingpin VS Blob i've just thought up.

There are a lot of cross company battles/team-ups I'd like to see, like--

Man-Thing, Swamp Thing, and the Heap
Deathlok and OMAC
The Hulk vs. the Flash (their powers would not really affect each other, so both of them would have to think/act outside of the box)
Captain America and Wonder Woman (with a fight between Steves Trevor and Rogers) and throw in Uncle Sam too
Spider-Man, Blue Beetle (Ted Kord), and the Creeper
Captain Atom vs. Mar-Vell
Daredevil and Green Lantern vs. the two Scarecrows (Marvel's and DC's)
Captain America vs. Captain Nazi
Adams-era Batman vs. Sienkiewicz-era Moon Knight
The Phantom Stranger and Dr Strange
Thor & the Asgardians vs. Wonder Woman & the Greek gods

And I'd like to see how Superman would handle some of Marvel's heavy-duty villains like Dr. Doom, Ultron, Kang. the Destroyer, the Red Skull with the Cosmic Cube, the Mad Thinker, Galactus, the Enchantress, Proteus (from X-MEN), Dormammu, etc.

Superman VS Ultron would be cool,and we've already seen a taste in that commission mr byrne drew that was shown recently. Just seeing that made me want to see a whole mini series with a story based around that.

I actually don't like it that much when villains hop around too much.  When Stan Lee had somebody like the Circus of Crime show up in a second series, it was always an event and I think he did a good job of doing such crossovers sparingly.  When Thor got really mythic, I was glad to see the woefully outmatched Mr. Hyde and the Cobra get "adopted" by DAREDEVIL or later CAPTAIN AMERICA, but usually I'd like to see the villains stay in their original series but used in new and interesting ways.  So, I'd like to see--

Batman vs. the Riddler--but in a really cool, smart, intricate storyline...something we've never really seen before!

Likewise, I think there's a great Spider-Man vs. the Chameleon story waiting to be done!

It seems that more could be done with Baron Zemo in a Captain America story.  The Red Skull and Zemo should be like Luthor and Brainiac to Superman, but you hardly ever see Zemo as a master villain except in old AVENGERS stories.

***

I don't want it too much, but the keyword is "sparingly". Done every now and again, it's better. Picking up a Spider-Man issue and seeing Mandarin on the front cover would be fun (I always enjoyed Spider-Man taking on dictators like Doom, so always craved a Spider-Man/Mandarin encounter).

I just think there are so many never-before-seen (or rarely seen) encounters loaded with flavour. We've all seen the trouble Iron Man has had against Hulk - even when wearing his Hulkbuster armour. Imagine Iron Man in his 'normal' armour going up against Juggernaut or Abomination. Imagine Cap alone against the Sinister Six. And just how would Professor X handle the Leader?
