Disney has been on a buying spree in the last decade and their recent purchase of 20th Century Fox has gotten them a lot of franchises, including that of the Predator. While the Predator movies have had diminishing returns mode for a while, they've always had a rather healthy comics presence, with their books fleshing out the mysterious alien race.

With the Predator in Disney's hands, that means that the vicious aliens can battle another of the company's franchises, the heroes of the Marvel Universe. There are lots of great fights to be had, with many of Marvel's heroes able to defeat these tough aliens.

10 Hulk

Hulk Is A Mighty Superhero

While the Predator is known for liking a challenge and going after the strongest foes it can, any Predator dumb enough to go after the Hulk deserves everything it gets. There have been many versions of the Hulk over the years and all of them have one thing in common- they are nigh unstoppable engines of destruction.

While the Predator possesses a lot of powerful weapons, none of them would do very much against the Hulk and even if they did, he'd be able to heal. While it would be hard for the Hulk to find the Predator, eventually the two would get into a close-up fight and that's not a fight any Predator could win.

9 Thor

Thor is another Marvel hero that the Predator would have little to no chance against but would also be a hero that the Predator couldn't help but try and go up against. Thor has been in many tough fights over the years and has eked out some pretty impressive wins. However, a battle against a Predator would not be one of those types of fights, as Thor would make short work of the alien.

His power to fly and control over lightning would give him his best weapons over the Predator, making him hard to hit and giving him attacks that he could use over a wide range that would allow him to flush a Predator out. Once the two were fighting head to head, it would be a short fight that would find Thor triumphant.

8 The Thing

The muscle of the Fantastic Four, the Thing is pretty tough but the Predator might just have a chance against him. That's not to say the Thing is a pushover but he's proven to be not as unbeatable as some of the other muscular powerhouses of the Marvel Universe. However, the Thing has a lot of experience battling aliens of all kinds and would be able to out-think the Predator.

The Predator would take an early advantage over the Thing but once Mama Grimm's bouncing baby boy got his bearings, he would figure out a way to nullify the Predator's advantages and fight the alien on his terms, which would give him the win.

7 The Punisher

The Predator has been shown to eat all kinds of soldiers for breakfast but the Punisher would be a huge challenge for the alien, one that it couldn't overcome. Punisher is one of the premiere anti-heroes of the Marvel Universe and has found himself at odds with many of Marvel's heroes because of his violent ways. He's beaten many of them and this will allow him to triumph over the Predator.

The Punisher isn't just some mad dog with a gun but a soldier who uses his variety of skills to win his battles. While the Predator would get the drop on him, Punisher would figure out a way to turn the tables on the alien and bring it down.

6 Deadpool

Deadpool Weasel 3

Deadpool is a great fighter but his fighting skill isn't what would win a battle against the Predator—it's his healing factor. That healing factor has made him one of the greatest mercenaries in comics as it's allowed him to survive anything his foes have thrown at him and use his amazing fighting skills to even things up. No Predator has ever battled anything like Deadpool before.

Deadpool would just keep taking everything the Predator threw at him and getting closer. There's pretty much nothing that has ever been able to keep Deadpool down and the Predator would learn that the hard way. Deadpool would just keep coming and eventually wear down the Predator with his unstoppable attacks.

5 Jean Grey

Jean Grey X-Men

As one of the most powerful X-Men, Jean Grey has long proven that she's capable of taking down just about any threat she comes across and the Predator would be no different. Her telepathic and telekinetic skills would allow her to make short work of the Predator even though she's not a physical match for the alien.

Predators are known for hiding but Jean's telepathy would allow her to find it while her telekinesis protected her from the alien's attacks. Once she found its location, the fight wouldn't last long—it wouldn't be able to hide from her and her telekinetic powers would let her take it down quickly.

4 Quicksilver

Quicksilver from Marvel Comics.

The Predator has a good chance against Quicksilver. Quicksilver's only defense is his super-speed but what really makes Quicksilver hard to hurt is his perception of time—everything moves so slowly to him. It's how he's able to avoid shots that should be able to take him down. So, while the Predator would be able to sneak up on him, it wouldn't be able to kill him with one shot and that would seal its fate.

Once Quicksilver knew he was being attacked, he would speedily scout around everything in his general vicinity. This would allow him to find the Predator and quickly beat it unconscious with multiple superfast blows.

3 Luke Cage

One can't beat what they can't hurt and Luke Cage would be impossible for any of the Predator's ranged weapons to work against because of his unbreakable skin. Try as the Predator might, none of his attacks would be able to hurt Luke Cage and every second would bring Cage closer and closer to finding the alien.

Once the two were face to face, Luke Cage's superior strength would come into play. Predators aren't used to being physically outclassed but Luke Cage is easily stronger than any Predator and a fistfight between the two would end very badly for the alien.

2 Iron Man

Iron Man Deadly Solutions

There's a chance that some of the Predator's weapons may be able to affect Iron Man's armor; Iron Man's tech is pretty strong but alien weapons have been shown to affect it from time to time. However, it's doubtful that any of its attacks would be able to take him down with one shot and that's going to be bad news for the Predator.

Iron Man's sensors would allow him to pinpoint the Predator's location and track it if need be. Once he had a bead on it, he could bring all of the armor's powerful weapon systems to bear on the alien and that would pretty much be all she wrote for the Predator.

1 Wolverine

Wolverine Family Affair

Predators are used to being hunters but up against Wolverine, they would quickly become the hunted. His healing factor and the adamantium skeleton would allow him to survive most attacks the Predator made against him and his super senses would allow him to track it down, bringing the fight directly to the alien.

Once the two were face to face, what would follow would be a knockdown, drag-out fight that would be extremely entertaining. Wolverine would prove to be a worthy opponent for the Predator and his combination of skill, ferocity, and his ability to survive just about anything thrown at him would allow him to win the battle.
