Predator Takes Wolverine’s Skull as a Trophy

In the crossover comic “Predator vs. Wolverine,” two of the most formidable characters from different universes collide in a series of thrilling encounters.

The Predator, an alien hunter known for collecting trophies from its conquests, sets its sights on Wolverine, a superhero with incredible healing abilities and bones coated in Adamantium.

This comic explores what happens when the ultimate hunter meets the ultimate prey.

The Hunt for the Ultimate Trophy of the Predator

The Predator comes from a culture that values the hunt above all else.

They seek out the most challenging prey across the universe to prove their skill and bring honor to themselves, and take the prey’s skull as a trophy.

Over the many years (and many crossovers) of the franchise, the Predator species has hunted countless worthy prey.

They’ve battled the cloned human Judge Dredd, the Kryptonian Superman, Alien’s Xenomorphs, and even the robotic Terminator T-800.

Thus, the Predator’s attraction to Wolverine is obvious, not just because of his reputation as a fierce warrior but also because of his near-invulnerability. 

Wolverine’s ability to heal from almost any injury and his indestructible Adamantium skeleton makes him a trophy unlike any other.

The Predator sees defeating Wolverine as the ultimate challenge, a hunt that could prove its superiority over all other hunters.

Epic Battles Through Time Between Predator and Wolverine

“Wolverine vs. Predator” showcases a series of battles that span across Wolverine’s lifetime.

These encounters are not just physical confrontations but also a test of wills.

In their first encounter, when Wolverine was still young and had not been infused with Adamantium, the Predator nearly killed Wolverine, but a giant bear interrupted, allowing Wolverine to escape. 

In subsequent encounters, one of the most memorable moments occurs at the Weapon X facility, where the Predator nearly succeeds in claiming Wolverine’s skull.

However, Wolverine’s resilience allows him to escape again, even after being taken aboard the Predator’s spaceship and nearly added to its collection of trophies.

The final battle between Wolverine and the Predator is a testament to their enduring rivalry.

After many confrontations, they face each other one last time, fighting with all their might.

In this ultimate showdown, the Predator chose to activate his suit’s self-destruct function, attempting to kill both himself and Wolverine. 

However, Wolverine survived the explosion, marking the end of their long-standing conflict.

Wolverine then took the Predator’s spear, the last remnant of his adversary, as his trophy.

Wolverine’s victory is not just about survival; it’s also about respect.
