This would be an interesting matchup because it's extremely hard for one to kill the other. How would they go about doing it?

Swamp Thing.

Supes can't put him down, Swampy is strong enough to contend and he has a telepathic attack that put Superman to sleep once.

Which versions of the characters are we talking about here?

The most powerful version of Swamp Thing was pretty much powerful enough to slap down someone like the Spectre at full power, while someone like the DCnU version of Swamp Thing wouldn't really be able to beat most newer versions of Superman.

Also depends on the scenario Are they in character or not? Morals or no morals? Are they prepared for fighting each other or is it a random encounter? etc.

You should read the classics some time.

Swamp thing has had incarnations powerful enough to easily handle the Spectre.

Swamp Thing Vs Superman pretty much happened.

ST wasn't fighting back, and Superman was going all out. Supes was ineffective at hurting ST, then ST put Supes down with one touch. Then he told Supes that he was his friend, not his enemy (or something like that).

Oh, I have. I am still curious as to what incarnations Swamp Thing has had that can easily handle the Spectre. Perhaps you could educate me? I remember Swamp Thing and the Phantom Stranger going to the Spectre for help when Abby was sent to hell in the Swamp Thing Annual. I remember them being a microscopic speck in the eye of the Spectre, literally. So what were these versions, and where can I read about them? I'm honestly curious.

Swamp Thing (at some point) had usurped every element in the entire universe. He had transcended to a level that was stated (on panel) to be enough to replace the Presence. In later issues he willingly gave all the power up.

@High Revolutionary: Was that tied to those issues with "The Green" or some court of elements or something like that?

I say ST wins as well, Supes can't put him down for good as far as I know

I don't know what your're talking about. But we agree, Superman can't stop ST.

As God Thing? When was he ever stated to be able to replace the Presence? And given that he abandoned the power because he feared Sargon would steal it, and the fact that Constantine stripped away his powers for an hour, I'd call that claim into question......
