Now I thought about what to do to make this as fair as possible so....instead of a fight, this will be a contest of infection. Three identical versions of modern day earth will be seeded with the minimal amount of each to start a global infection, the Earth's will have knowledge of the seeding. Which of the three will dominate their Earth first.

Xenomorphs lose straight out due to their incubation needs and limited ability to be very effective beyond in tight enclosures. In open ground they are appalling inefficient.
Necromorphs are interesting and very adaptable thanks to them bending the laws of physics and nature with glee, but in the end the Flood are just naturally more suited to this type of thing. They assimilate not only the bodies of the infected but also the minds - and that's pretty much the clincher. The Flood can think.

The Xenomorphs have , in cannon, over run the earth, conquering it, in only a few months. They held the planet for nearly 4 years.

All it took to start the Xenos takeover of earth was 5 face huggers to kick things off.

@shadow I worded it that way because I had no earthly idea what the facehugger equivalents for the others were.

Hives form quickly once established, Queens do nothing but crap out eggs, Drones move like clockwork to snatch people/animals for incubation, warriors focus on sabotage/attack/and defense. Anything short of military grade weapons is useless (so the general population is out of luck) extremely sharp bladed weapons will work(they get melted immediately thought), but who wants to get that close.

well they are potentially contenders, whats the fastest rate the Flood and Necromorphs have taken a planet at?

This is why I don't debate anymore, feats overrule reasonable predictions. Its useless to argue the xenomorphs wouldn't be able to take over the Earth when they so routinely overrule laws of physics and common sense thanks to their writers. Ehhhh - whatever.

How fast can the Flood do similar? Or the Necromorphs?

I'm sorry man, all I can do is find the information.

Let's see...in 3 An elite commander told lord hood that a single flood spore could kill a species, One infection form can overtake a body in several seconds, A carrier form can hold 5, Combat forms are better than humans, they can infect damn near everything and keep spreading and spreading wildly until a Gravemind is created.

I know the flood have taken over planets before, I just cant find how long it took them. I mean days? week? Maybe you would have more luck than I. As for the Necros....I just don't know.

Well, the the elites glassed half of africa because of a breakout so i would say a month, maybe 2. I'll look at the necros. What about the xeno's.

Xenos have taken over a version of Earth in a few months, not much longer if any longer...looks like this will be a very close race.
