Of all of the potential Predator vs. superhero battles, this is the one I think that I would most like to see. It would definitely be a close match up. Both combatants are at their peak physical form and will do whatever it takes to win a fight. I'm thinking that Cap would be standing at the end, but not before withstanding a lot of damage from his opponent.
Could we see the Howling Commandos with the Freedom Fighters for a holiday cover? thanks.
ReplyDeleteCap's shield might have a value in that question too.
**Side note for any who might care:

Great rendering, Ross! Although, if Marvel Films ever teamed up with 20th Century Fox to co-produce this for real, with Chris Evans reprising the role of Cap, they'd probably have to set it during World War II. Seeing as how the cinematic Steve Rogers is now, canonically, a retired centenarian widower.
ReplyDeletePlot gimmick: a North African HYDRA base captures the Predator. Shuttle craft and all!
In any case? Have a Happy 4th, Ross! :-)
Did Cap EVER kill an opponent? I can't recall when, and the Predator would keep on coming after him until one of them was dead.
ReplyDeleteUnknown--I believe there was that one time he shot a guy to keep him from killing a bunch of people. Now, normally I don't advocate that, and I'm pretty sure he doesn't, but it was a desperate situation.
DeleteYes, he used his shield to decapitate Baron Blood.
DeleteAnother great cover! What a match this would be. As for future covers... how about The Scarlet Witch and the White Witch. Nighthawk and The Creeper, or my all time wish list for a cover... the Justice League vs the Imperial Guard.
ReplyDeleteUnknown...Cap killed Baron Blood by decapitating him with his shield. Does taking out the undead count as killing?
ReplyDeleteBatman is generally considered to have a strongly-held code against killing, but has destroyed vampires in mainstream continuity, so presumably not...
DeleteNow that Fox and Marvel are owned by Disney I very much want to see all sorts of Marvel vs Aliens vs Predator comics at least lol.
ReplyDeleteDidn't Predator go up against Batman? If he did then Cap should have no problem. Cap probably has gotten more of a sparring with Wolverine.
ReplyDeleteAre there any villians that specialize in stealing memories? Batman goes up against 'em in A Knight to Remember. Ross could do it easily.
ReplyDeleteWith the confusion(?) between Halle Bailey (the chosen Ariel in the live-action Disney's The Little Mermaid reboot) and Halle Berry, how about a cover with Beetle Bailey and Cleopatra 2525 (which had armed flying machines called Baileys).
ReplyDeleteWhere Felix the Cat?
ReplyDeleteWould love to see this as a revival of the Dark Horse/Super Hero crossovers but this time both Marvel and DC involved.
ReplyDeleteBtw: I just got back from seeing S-M: FAR FROM HOME. And that extra who played the high school science club member with the orange hijab (Komal Charania, I believe). Was she supposed to be Kamala Khan? Are we, perhaps, going to see a MS. MARVEL flick within the foreseeable future?
ReplyDeleteYou mean, Islamic Inhuman who can stretch like Reed Richards and grow like Hank Pym? I wouldn't be averse to see a live-action rendition of that superheroine.
ReplyDeleteDon't forget George Bailey with Angel Clarence. With all of them there you could call it It's a life. Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteWhere's Felix, Fiddle Faddle? He's trying to work out how to get a TARDIS out of his Bag of Tricks,
ReplyDeleteSimple. Felix jumped into his bag of tricks and the opened door Tardis. Then he relocated the Tardis. He knew he could do it because of how young he is in cartoon years. He had often heard "Tricks are for kids."
DeleteAnonymous plus 2: that kind of pun could make one go "rabbid."
ReplyDeleteAnonymous plus three - So true! He's already just a "hare" away from that.
DeleteIf Hollywood was going to do a movie of the Predator vs a superhero, I think the most interesting superhero to be involved would be the Batman.
