The Predator
“They're bigger than us, stronger, but also heavier…” –Royce (Predators)
“There's something out there waiting for us, and it ain't no man. We're all gonna die.” –Billy (Predator)
“Leave it. He didn't kill you because you weren't armed. What a sport.” –Dutch (Predator)
"You have to understand the mindset of the Hunters, and the honor they place on facing a worthy opponent on an equal footing... a kill is the end result, but it's not the point of a hunt....”
-Machiko Noguchi (Aliens vs Predator: Three World War Comic)
Species: Predator or Yautja or Hish
Height: ~7’4”
Weight: ~280 lbs
Weapons
--- Wrist plasma launcher: shoots a single bolt of plasma at a time
--- Razor whip: segmented hand-held bullwhip that wraps around a target, and once pulled taut is capable of cutting it in half. Probably made from the tail of a Xenomorph (Alien)
--- Shoulder cannon: a plasma gun that uses a targeting system linked to the Predator’s helmet, often accompanied by a laser beam that forms 3 red dots on the target. It is fired either from the wrist control panel or from a trigger in the helmet
--- Combistick: a telescopic weapon that is about 2’ – 2’6” when it is closed and around 6-8 ft when fully extended. It can be used like a spear or thrown like a javelin
--- Shuriken: A small disc when closed, with the push of a button, five razor sharp flared blades are extended. A gyroscopic system inside returns it to the Predator after it is thrown
--- Dagger: ceremonial dagger used for skinning prey that can also be thrown
--- Wrist blades: the signature weapon of the Predator, these blades extend from the right wrist and can be up to a few feet long. Depending on the Predator, they may have one, two or three blades (though two is most common)
--- Self-destruct: wrist panel controlled explosion that destroys the Predator’s remains and anything nearby
Armor
--- Made from a strong, light metal that does not correspond with any known element on Earth. It is capable of stopping bullets and melts slowly enough from Xenomorph acid to be removed without harm to the wearer
--- The armor consists of grieves on the lower legs; wrist gauntlets on the forearms, the left arm also functions as a control panel; tassets which hang from the waist and protect the thighs; codpiece to protect the groin; breastplate that only protects the left side of the upper torso and back, leaving the abdomen and right side exposed; mask/helmet
--- Underneath the armor is a mesh suit that is part of the active camouflage technology
Equipment
--- Helmet/ mask: acts as a respirator; can record/ playback audio and visual; has multiple vision modes including infrared, ultraviolet, electromagnetic fields, and neuro-vision, a mode to determine the health of prey; a sound amplifier; zoom function; targeting and tracking system connected to the shoulder mounted plasma cannon
--- Active camouflage: controlled by the wrist-mounted computer; bends light around the Predator projecting a mirror image of what is on the other side; upon close inspection the Predator’s outline can be seen and it looks something like a heat shimmer; not effective when wet; bright lights (like fire) can also make the Predator more visible when using this technology
Wolverine
“I'm the best there is at what I do, but what I do isn't very nice.” –Wolverine
“You were sentenced to death for decapitating a senior officer. Your sentence was carried out by a firing squad at ten hundred hours. How'd that go?” –William Stryker
“It tickled.” –Wolverine
“Wolverine could be killed if his head becomes separated from his body… but because of the Adamantium-laced skeleton, the idea seems very unlikely…” –Charles Xavier
Species: Human mutant

Weight: 300 lbs (with adamantium skeleton and 195 lbs without)

--- Heightened sense of hearing, smell, sight and abnormally fast reflexes
--- Prodigious strength: due to his healing ability he can push his muscles far beyond what an extremely physically fit human could do and his adamantium skeleton allows him to perform feats a normal skeleton could not withstand
--- Superhuman stamina: the healing factor makes him immune to lactic acid buildup and naturally heals his muscles as he exerts himself, making him capable of extreme feats of endurance
--- Berserker rage: when angered he can go into an animalistic rage that makes him even more impervious to pain as well as making him faster, albeit with less thought put into his actions
