Okay, this question might be oddly specific, but here goes nothing.
You know how Marvel is owned by Disney while DC is owned by Warner Bros? It was an IRL thematic coincidence that two rival studios that own two of the most iconic cartoon characters (Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny) also ended up acquiring the rights to Marvel and DC respectively. The Big Two of Superhero Comics themselves being rivals toward each other. With this coincidence in mind, if the other major Hollywood Studios ended up buying the rights to the other major non-Marvel/non-DC superhero publishers, who do you think would get what and why?

Out of the current options here, we've got Universal, Paramount, Sony (Columbia/TriStar), LionsGate, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Amblin Partners and ErosSTX. Other options are there as well.

For the superhero/comic book publisher options, we got Image Comics, Dark Horse Comics, Valiant Comics, Dynamite Entertainment, IDW Publishing, Boom! Studios, Archie Comics and Oni Press. As with the previous category, other options are there.
So to reiterate my question, which of these comic book publishers do you think Universal, Paramount, Sony, LionsGate, MGM, Amblin and STX will most likely purchase if given the chance. It could be anything from pure economics or a thematic basis. With that out of the way, take care, stay safe and have a good day!
