The moment I saw that we had Cells at Work pages, I couldn't resist making a matchup for this one. Hopefully Thrax isn't too powerful for our favorite neutrophil.

Battle takes place as Thrax invades the body WBC lives in.

White Blood Cell - 4 (Hizack, Numbersguy, Emily, Jimbo)

Thrax - 5 (Stefan, Mr. Bambu, Ricsi, Jason, TheC2)

White Blood Cell Cells at Work
 
Of course we have a Cells at Work vs Osmosis Jones match up.

Whilst Thrax's heat manipulation will come in handy, as WBC has shown to be susceptible to heat stress, pretty much everything else is in WBC's ball court. Due to the human body being similar to real ones, but just... really weird in CaW, Thrax may be thrown off guard, and this could lead a Sneeze One victory to be achieved. If Thrax learns soon enough where he is before Sneeze One can be used, however, it would help him. With that said, WBC has fought many a pathogen, and slaughters a lot of them, and being (from his perspective) seemingly building level, I think in the end he will have enough to complete his job and return health to the body... but not without difficulty.

So my vote goes to U-1146.
 
For what i can tell, i think Thrax will have the upper hand overall.

Superior intelligence and knowledge (an expert in anatomy and physiology), greater combat experience (he stated to have killed a lot of people before the movie), heat manipulation and the capacity to infect and destroy any part of the human body via touch.

And yes the White Blood Cell seen to have much far better physical stats, but since the Cells at Work take place in a human body like Osmosis Jones it hard to trully make a proper scaling.

Hmm, WBC is also shown to have knowledge of the human body, but since a human body to him is very different to what Thrax is probably used to (i.e. made up of towns, cities, industries, etc, rather than your usual), it means that the playing field has changed. In which case it kind of comes down to how much Thrax can mentally equate between the two types of body.

Also, killing multiple humans isn't really combat experience, as he is simple infected them and not challenging them. Meanwhile, WBC has lots of combat experience in fighting pathogens, which would seem to be a more usual set of victories, but maybe I'm simply misunderstanding what you mean.

Did you have watch the movie? The human body of Frank Detorre was like a city.

The human body in Cells at Work will not that much different, only to the fact that its japanese.

I mean in the sense he had already experience in surviving inside the human body, infect it and kill it before the immune system could react in time, he will know the highlights and weakness of a standard white cell blood,

WBC may had kill a lot of pathogens, but those were quite standard many of which aren't capable to kill a human, nothing on the level of Thrax who seen to be extremely fatal compare with most pathogens.

I see. Well, that would probably be a useful factor then, but I don't see how it would take so long for the immune system to find him (considering his personal best time was awfully long). Also, if we're bringing in the whole system, Memory Cell can foresee upcoming invasions to an extent, so there is definitely a way to warn WBC. And even if we factor out stuff like that, WBC tends to react much faster than those in OJ.

WBC may had kill a lot of pathogens, but those were quite standard many of which aren't capable to kill a human, nothing on the level of Thrax who seen to be extremely fatal compare with most pathogens.

Pneumoccocus can kill a human faster than Thrax's personal best, he shares traits with other pathogens WBC has faced, and the heat manipulation would be tied into heat stress, which whilst it weakened WBC, is something he has dealt with before. To say Thrax is unlike anything he's ever faced before is simply untrue. Plus, considering Thrax died by being corroded, and WBC has Corrosion Manipulation, he even has his weakness on hand. A body with alien structure to Thrax will likely not allow him to kill any faster than he has before, giving WBC ample time to reach him, and then it's just another day of putting his skills to the test.
 
I'm bumping this.

If you ask what kind of virus Thrax is, I edited the page to add the symptoms.

I am pretty sure WBC will be thrown offguard trying to fight off a virus that is literally impossible to exist in real life (No virus can damage the hypothalamus and have those symptoms). I vote for WBC tho, considering Jones who had no other powers managed to fight him off.

Unless Thrax has damaged the hypothalamus, WBC has this due to better weapons.
 
I mean, it's not even used offensively much, and that's not even going into the large number of ranged offensive powers that WBC has.

Also, bump.
 
Gonna vote Thrax. I believe his previous conflicts do register as a much higher degree of experience. He's implied to have killed tons more humans. Considering his experience is pretty much exactly in bringing down people like White Blood Cell, I'd say that he can turn the tables in his favor. Not to mention the heat thing.
 
WBC - 3 (Hizack, Numbersguy, Emily)

Thrax - 2 (Stefan, Mr. Bambu)
 
One question: can a human white blood cell actually kill Ebola?
 
Well. Could a pill that you can buy anywhere do anything? Because IIRC it did.

Basically, these aren't exactly following "normal" rules of infections.
 
I'll give my own two cents:

Both have feats of fodderizing the other's type; WBC kills Viruses and Bacteria all the time, Thrax has experience in killing White Blood cells. That said, most of the white blood cells in the Osmosisverse are pretty incompotent, whereas the exaggerated nature of Cells at Work! allows WBC to have more skill feats. Even then, Thrax wouldn't fare well in a direct fight, even someone like Osmosis was able to put up a challenge against him although chance played a lot into that. Thrax has his heat touch at a close range, which would certainly kill WBC on contact, but WBC has many more ranged options, meaning that unless Thrax can close distance, he'll be hit with a bunch of projectiles.

Thrax is a character who thrives outside of combat; he's able to maneuver around the body unoticed and strike at vital points while allying with other Bacteria and Viruses. However, in a straight fight he doesn't have enough to offer against someone with as much skill and versatility as White Blood Cell.

Also,

WBC - 4 (Hizack, Numbersguy, Emily, Jimbo)

Thrax - 2 (Stefan, Mr. Bambu)
 
I mean, if we were to put them in human size I would say Thrax is 8-A while WBC is 8-C at best as far as I can tell
 
I'll have to do some snooping on Cells at Work to see, I've also seen some 8-A feats (if you assume Human size, which helps in just determining the gap, tbh), from some of the Viruses.
 
Didn't the video say it settled down on its own?

Still, I'll go with thrax simply because his seems much more impressive to me
 
I mean, that doesn't change that he was right next to the blast as it happened, and if you look through the video the larger blasts at the end had him flying into the air.

Although, yeah, Thrax's dura feat looks more impressive (although the gap is shorter than you think; if you look at the environment at the second link, a huge portion of the city is blown apart).

WBC - 4 (Hizack, Numbersguy, Emily, Jimbo)

Thrax - 3 (Stefan, Mr. Bambu, Ricsi)
 
Well Thrax for better durability and other reasons above
 
I'll also go Thrax FRA, as well.

One thing to note about the point of Thrax's experience. He specifically mentions that he's gotten better as he's gone along. So by the time the White Blood Cells of Frank encounter him, he's way beyond anything they'd ever seen. Going off what he listed, his record for killing people and overcoming their WBCs/defenses is like:

3 weeks.

6 days.

72 hours.

I mean, that kind of work speaks for itself. Just my musing on that.
 
WBC - 4 (Hizack, Numbersguy, Emily, Jimbo)

Thrax - 5 (Stefan, Mr. Bambu, Ricsi, Jason, TheC2)
 
I mean, if someone would like to bring them up, please do, but I don't currently have access to the Manga, sorry.
 
All the manga feats I found notable are listed on the profile for White Blood Cell. I haven't been able to watch the anime for it yet, so it's not covered at all there. Nor should it be, really, considering it's a non-canon adaptation like every other anime that sprouts from a manga... I read through all 5 volumes again just to find the feats too, just so I could list them all there, so I don't think I missed any.

Also, I guess I'd like to point out, if I didn't already, that Thrax died to be corroded, and White Blood Cell does have corrosion manipulation, if that merits for anything.
