as the voltage source increases, the current decreases.
my question is, could you get a super conducting (zero resistance)
element by putting a resistor in series with the negative resistor?

Not in any useful way.

But one way of getting constant speed out of DC motor over a range of
loads is to feed it from a circuit which is designed to look like a
negative resistance that exactly compensates the widing resistance of
the motor coils.

The same sort of thing can be used to get a constant torque out of a
motor. As the motor speeds up, its voltage rises and the circuit
increases the current to make up for the motor's losses.
