The Phantom Vs. Predator

 

In my world, the 90's Phantom movie would have spawned a bunch of sequels.  This would have made for an exciting one, I think. But with a Predator taking on the Ghost Who Walks, who might an Alien battle?  You can find out right here tomorrow!

Gladiator Vs. Predator

 

We've seen a bunch of Predator/Marvel crossovers now that both properties are under the same corporate umbrella, so maybe this battle will be created for real one of these days.  The Predator might have his hands full in this match up, but it would be fun to see play out.

Sabretooth Vs. Predator

 

Marvel and Predator rights are under that same company now, so this has a better chance of happening than most pairings on this blog.  It definitely would be a wild battle - Sabretooth never holds back, which would need to be the case in order for him to take on the galaxy's greatest hunter.

Sgt. Rock Vs. Predator

 

This is a crossover that I think would actually make for a great mini-series.  I usually prefer to see Sgt. Rock in situations more grounded in reality, but I'd love to see how he responds to this type of extraterrestrial threat.  He would be taken aback, that's for sure, but Rock never gives up and never stops fighting.  If there's one other soldier besides Arnold Schwarzenegger's Dutch that could have a chance against a Predator, it's got to be Frank Rock.

Snake Plissken Vs. Predator

 

Thank you to Mike Shirley, a Patron of this blog, for suggesting this match up! It really does seem like a natural for a man known for getting out of inhospitable places to go up against a hunter that won't stop until he lands his prey.  Let's just hope that Dutch gave Snake a few pointers on this particular threat, I think he may need them!

Wonder Woman Vs. Predator

 

I still get a kick out of watching old Wonder Woman episodes on MeTV from time to time.  I would have loved to have seen her face off with more villains from the comics though. Marbe it would have been tough to feature Cheetah on a 70's TV budget, but I bet that they could have pulled off Giganta or Doctor Psycho.  

Daredevil Vs. Predator

 

I made this cover before I found out that Disney had acquired the rights to the Alien and Predator franchises.  Now it seems like this is one of those match ups that might actually happen for real.  I don't know if Marvel has any interest in folding the two space monster epics into their mainstream continuity, but I wouldn't be surprised to at least see some crossover one shots or mini series featuring one or both versus heroes from the MCU.

The Punisher and Predator

When either of these guys set their mind on a target, they simply will not stop until the mission is completed.  Seeing them working together to take down a bigger threat might be interesting, as both prefer to be solo operatives.  Plus, how long would it be before one turned on the other?

Captain America Vs. Predator

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.

Predator Vs. Worf

Predator is one of those movie franchises like Jurassic Park that keeps on continuing, even though no sequel ever seems to match the quality of the first installment.  There's something about that first outing that makes it very re-watchable.  The macho man cast, the simple yet effective plot, and those amazing one liners put it in the action movie hall of fame for me.

Daredevil Vs. Predator

This could be a pretty interesting match-up.  Predators are great hunters but they rely a lot on stealth, which would not be nearly as effective as it usually is, given Daredevil's enhanced senses.  The question is whether a billy club and acrobatics can match up against the strength and weapons of a Predator.

Kraven the Hunter Vs. Predator

We have yet to see Kraven on the big screen, but with Spider-Man about to start another franchise, there's still the possibility.  He may be a tough character to pull of but I think that an actor like Jeffrey Dean Morgan would be able to embody the ferocity and determination of Sergei Kravinoff.

Boba Fett Vs. Predator

I've read in more than one place that Captain Phasma is the Boba Fett of the Star Wars: The Force Awakens.  I can see why the comparison has been made - both are very cool looking characters that ultimately do very little in the film and are dispatched fairly easily.  Phasma is still alive though, so there is still a chance for her to get some redeeming scenes the next time around.

Conan Vs. Predator

Here's another battle that I think would be very close.  I'd like to think that Conan would be able to use the knowledge he has of his home land to his advantage and give him an edge.  Still, the Predator certainly has the upper hand when it comes to weaponry.  Whoever wins will not come out unscathed.

The Thing and Predator

Predator remains one of my favorite 80's action films. The idea of an alien hunter lurking in an earth jungle was realized very well and it is chock full of quotable lines. I liked the sequel as well, but what I really got a kick out of were the various comic book crossovers that the Predators took part in. It's a testament to the strength of the concept that its works so well with different characters. That said, I saw the first Aliens Vs. Predator and it didn't make much of an impression on me. I also have yet to see the most recent entry, Predators, but I like the films of Robert Rodriquez and I have read some positive reviews, so I will have to check that out one of these days.
