Live action films, video games, comic books; take your pick, we just want to see these showdowns happen.
Let’s look at three characters from comic books and film who we think could give a member of the Predator species a run for their money.
Boba Fett
Arguably the greatest bounty hunter in Star Wars history (canon as well as “legendsâ€), and undeniably one of the most popular in the franchise, Boba Fett feels like a worthy adversary for the legendary Predator. Boba Fett is a warrior born and raised, whose prowess in his chosen career speaks for itself. Though, as of yet, his life according the official canon ends in the Sarlacc pit, the Legends continuity has this badass surviving the experience – and that’s the sort of will to survive you need going into a fight with the Predator. Both tech savvy, wily combatants, we honestly don’t know who would come out on top, but we know it’d be a pleasure to witness.
Wolverine
The Predator might be one of the most dedicated hunters in sci-fi cinema, but at least as far as the Marvel universe is concerned, Wolverine is the best at what he does – and what he does is track and take down punks like the Predator. The famous X-Men member and mutant feels like a great challenger to go toe to toe with this extraterrestrial menace for a number of reasons. For one, they both have a knack for tracking and, when needed, stealth, but when they throw down, it’s a bodily, bone-crunching style of combat. Of course, what really drives this pairing is the desire to see Wolverine’s claws lock with the Predator’s wrist blades.
John Rambo
When we first met John Rambo in 1982, he made a very big impression. His conflict with local law enforcement painted a perfect picture of how this man’s time in Vietnam changed him. Though the war left him with emotional, psychological and physical scars, it also turned him into a man with unparalleled survival skills – including the more deadly arts. In many ways, Rambo is the human equivalent of the Predator, and for that reason, we think that if these two were to come into contact with one another, they would give us one of the greatest hunter versus hunter fights the world has ever seen.
