There was an involved discussion on radio yesterday, Alien vs. Predator, who wins? …
There are too many variables to give a concrete answer, it all depends on the situation.
In a one-on-one confrontation I’d have to side with the Predator. Predators have a wide array of powerful long-range weapons that they could use to kill an Alien. As long as the Alien wasn’t allowed to get close the Preadtor would just shoot it, and even in a melee confrontation the Predator would have that dual arm blade thing, so it’s possible they would just kill each other.
Alien-hive Vs. Predator however would be an easy with for the Aliens. Overwhelm and eat, as they do to the puny humans all the time.
And since someone else will no doubt mention it. Batman (prepared) > Kindergarten Cop > Predator. Batman vs. a Hive though, well, he’d just nuke it from orbit, it’s the only way to be sure.
But could the Predator see an alien? Remember that the Predator uses infrared to track and see.
“Maybe they don’t show up on infrared at all!”
Was that on Howard Stern? It was the most uninformed discussion about both creatures I have ever heard. Stern’s big argument was that the Predator would win, because the Alien (face-hugger)couldn’t infect it through it’s (predator’s)mask…I wanted to scream at the radio, that face-huggers use ACID to burn through whatever “protection” there is and then implants…like it did to the first astronaut in Alien and Ripley’s sleep chamber in Alien 3.
Stupid know it all…arrgh!
Well, Predator is far more powerful than Alien in every single video game incarnation ever.
Cooler weapons, too.
>>Alien vs. Predator, who wins?
The movie studio.
iirc, not only infra-red. He/she switched between several different view-modes in the first movie.
Long-term, the Alien should win. Because eventually, no matter how well they hunted, the Predators would kick back and go for a beer to celebrate, and in the movies it’s always the moment you relax that an unsplattered facehugger scuttles out from behind the toilet and wipes you out. And they only need ONE FACEHUGGER to survive; the Aliens are all over the place, there’s no telling how many planets have dormant eggs or suchlike hidden on them, and there are many different types too, so they’re fantastically adaptable. The Predators are too cool, but they do seem to be a bit like superpowerful humans. The Aliens are different. They’re Alien, man. The Predators could nuke the Aliens from here to Sunday, and you just know that even if they have to wait till the Predators have died out from boredom, the Alien will eventually be back. Eggs somewhere, DNA somewhere. It’s designed to survive. It will survive.
Also, the Predators are killing for sport, whereas the Aliens are doing it by the primal authority of their mythic, motherly biological drive - and as strong as the urge might be that drives thousands of men to sports every weekend, it pales in comparison to the terror that is woman pissed.
That was the little-known and lesser-liked second movie, when Gary Busey is hunting down the predator in a heat-resistant suit.
But yeah, apparently in the last mode he saw their flourescent lights.
Schwarzenegger’s Predator did it too. Whiile he was watching the fire fight between the A-Team and the Killer Guys.
Alien vs. Predator.
Who wins?
Batman, if he’s had enough time to prepare.
But in video games the Predators never have to sleep, do they?
Ripley 
Dead.
I just read in the newest Wizard magazine (#150) that DC and Dark Horse are doing a Batman / Superman / Alien / Predator series. I’ve actually never read any of the Alien and Predator crossovers. Are they any good? And how many crossovers have there been, anyway? Will this be the first time Superman faced off against either alien species?
Anyhoo…
When one human with a gun kills about a hundred aliens, why would we even ask if the predator with his many weapons could kick one aliens ass.
