The Imperial Guard is a group of superpowered members of the Shi’ar Empire excite with protecting their ruler . Shortly after their first appearance , the Imperial Guard dispute the X - man to conquer and finally destroy Jean Grey aka the Phoenix - andthe Shi’ar made the X - Men look weakby comparability . If the predatory animal is impress by Wolverine - a prominent member of the X - man - then the Yautja would be utterly botch up out by the Imperial Guard .
The Imperial Guard defend the best of the best when it comes to the Shi’ar race , meaning they are who the Predator would want to trace . And even with their Brobdingnagian strength and Brobdingnagian power , the Imperial Guard should be scared if these ruthless killers decide to hail after them ( Predators have faced the likes of Superman in the past , after all , so warriors like Gladiator should n’t be too much of a challenge ) .
9The Kree Empire Is A Known Powerhouse, & The Predators Would Investigate
Kree Empire First Appearance:Fantastic Four#65 by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby
The Kree Empire made its first appearance taking down the Fantastic Four , and showing Marvel ’s First Family who the real powerhouse in the beetleweed truly is - which is something the Predator would dead take bank bill of . Not only do the Kree have elite squadrons similar to the Shi’ar ’s Imperial Guard , but some member of the Kree race have inbuilt abilities that make them superhumans ( kind of like Earth ’s mutants ) , imply even a ‘ even ’ Kree should be able to give any given piranha a worthy challenge .
The beauty of these astronomic empires , too , is their prevalence in the world , meaning the marauder would see about them immediately , and would have no trouble scouting out the unadulterated hunting trip .
8The Skrulls Are Arguably The Perfect Prey For Predators
Skrulls’ Most Impactful Storyline:Secret Invasionby Brian Michael Bendis and Leinil Yu
While the exhilaration of battling superhumans would be satiated between the Shi’ar ’s Imperial Guard and select Kree warriors ( not to mention mutants like Wolverine on Earth ) , theSkrulls might actually be the Predators ’ perfect preydue to the power they ’re celebrated for : shapeshifting . Predators are n’t just deadly combatants athirst for a brutal battle , they ’re also hunter in the truest gumption of the news , which let in tracking and stalking . Indeed , the Predators ’ most utile weapon - the cloaking equipment - was specifically create for the purpose of dog their quarry . And in that regard , there ’s no near challenge than a Skrull .
seek to wipe out a Skrull would be the purest example of a Predator ’s thrill of the search , as the last putting to death in all likelihood would n’t be sop up out in struggle , but would instead be well - earned through grim trailing and truly unadulterated hunting practice .
7The Chitauri Are Savage Warriors - Excellent Challenge For A Predator
Chitauri First Appearance:Ultimates#8 by Mark Miller and Bryan Hitch
The Chitauri were originally the Ultimate Universe ’s rendering of Skrulls , which means they ’d demonstrate the same level of threat ( and thrill ) for a Predator to hunt . However , the version of the Chitauri in Earth-616 would be equally thrilling for a Predator , though for a completely different reason . In Earth-616 , the Chitauri are much more in - product line with their depiction in the MCU , as beast - like creatures with advanced technology and a singular , savage goal of utterly decimating the planets they invade .
Earth-616’sChitauri would be a merriment hunt for a team of Predatorstesting their heart . The Yautja would most belike be able to take them out fairly easy ease up their gamey stage of word , good combat tactics , and more forward-looking technical school , but they still might get overcome by the Chitauri ’s sheer numbers and ruthlessness in battle , making the Chitauri an exciting ( and brutal ) task .
6The Kronans’ Rock-Hard Stone Skin Alone Would Make Them Attractive Prey
Kronans’ First Appearance:Journey Into Mystery#83 by Stan Lee, Larry Lieber, and Jack Kirby
Predators are always on the lookout for prey that are not only the venomous , but also the hard to kill , as that ’s an opportunity for the Predators to test their arms and make readjustment / promote when necessary - and theKronans would be the pure preyin that regard . Kronans are essentially ‘ stone - hoi polloi ’ who are notably stronger than an average human , though for the most part , are n’t too different to human being at all . In the Predator ’s eyes , a Kronan would basically amount to a human with first-rate speciality and nigh unbreakable tegument , making them ideal targets .
It ’s well know that Predators love hunting man , so there ’s no way they ’d pass up a chance to push the limits of their tech and skill set a snatch further by hunting Kronans .
5The Klyntar Pose A Unique Challenge For The Predators
Klyntar Species’ Most Impactful Storyline:King In Blackby Donny Cates and Ryan Stegman
The Klyntar mintage ( or symbiotes as they ’re more unremarkably know ) are unlike anything the Predator has hunt down before in the past , in any creation . As shown in theKing In Black , Klyntar are capable of claim entire major planet , possessing cosmic god ( ie , Celestials ) , and move autonomously , without the need of a innkeeper . Klyntar are deadly on a cosmic shell , though while they may seem unbeatable , the symbiotes do have very clean weaknesses that do n’t take long for an experienced hunting watch to figure out . In other word , the Predators would pronto retrieve some to hunt upon their exploration of the Marvel Universe .
Whilethe Klyntar would threaten to own the Predators- something that would assuredly happen during a group hunt of these creatures - the Yautja would promptly learn that fire and sound are the symbiotes ’ weakness , and would kick upstairs their weapons accordingly . This would be an exciting hunt unlike any other , and the Predators would have a very good luck of come out on top , meaning the Klyntar should be afraid of their arrival .
4The Brood Would Make The Predators Feel Right At Home
The Brood’s First Appearance:Uncanny X-Men#155 by Chris Claremont and Dave Cockrum
It ’s been said thatthe Brood is Marvel Comics ’ answer toAlien ’s Xenomorphs , as their bug - like appearance , extraterrestrial origin , and parasitic nurture unconscious process are all almost identical to the classic horror movie monster . That means any Predator who look for out the Brood will feel the right way at nursing home hunting them , given the importance of hunt Xenomorphs in Predator civilization as show in Dark Horse Comics ’ Aliens vs Predator continuity .
It ’s not a stretch to assume a team of Predators would deliberately infect a small society of hosts with the Brood for the lonesome purpose of hunting them , which is something the Yautja regularly do with Xenomorphs . Given the predator ’ proficiency at kill creatures just like them , the Brood should be very wary of the Yautja if their paths ever cross .
3A Makluan Is Worth Hunting For A Predator’s Trophy Alone
Makluan First Appearance (Fin Fang Foom):Strange Tales#89 by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby
The first extremity of the Makluan race Marvel Comics fans were introduced to was Fin Fang Foom , who was move on Earth and was single - handedly responsible for for most of the traditional knowledge surrounding dragons . Any warrior deserving their salt has dreamed of trace a dragon , and the Predators would be no exception .
While the hunt itself would be epic given the proven business leader - horizontal surface of Fin Fang Foom , predator give care just as much about the trophiesfrom their hunt as the hunts themselves ( with Predator vs Wolverine actually being a prime exercise ) , and there are few trophies that would be as splendiferous or grand as the skull of a slain Makluan .
2The Sakaarans Live In A Gladiator Society - Perfect For A Predator
Sakaarans’ First Appearance:Planet Hulkby Greg Pak and Carlo Pagulayan
Sakaarans were show in all their bloody resplendency battle the Hulk ( and each other ) during thePlanet Hulkstoryline , making them prime targets for a Predator Holman Hunt . However , a storyline where Predators are run Sakaarans could cursorily become something much more than an modal ‘ Predator Vs ’ comedian . The prizefighter - same race of warriors could in reality battle a Predator - dismantle of its technical school , of course - in the annulus for the crowd ’s entertainment , the same mode the Hulk was made a gladiator during Planet Hulk .
A Predator / foreign - prizefighter story would be a really cool read , and would assuredly put on full presentation exactly why Yautja are feared across the cosmos - and why the Sakaarans should fear them as well .
1Xandar’s Nova Corp Would Wage War On The Predators
Xandar’s First Appearance:Nova#1 by Marv Wolfman and John Buscema
The Nova Corp of Xandar are basically a team of space cops who try out galactic threat and eliminate them for the betterment of the entire galaxy . If the Predators crossed over into the Marvel Universe in any meaningful way of life - beyond just picking a fight with Wolverine - then the Nova Corp would assuredly be all over them . The Nova Corp would engage war against the Predators , making this special ‘ hunt ’ one of heroic proportions , as it would of necessity let in a space conflict , planet - skip escapades , and galactic police detective work on both sides .
In the end , the Nova Corp would learn the terrific truth of how truly deadly Predators are , build the Xandarians just one of the 10 alien species that would be terrorize that thePredatorhas joined theMarvel Comicsuniverse .
