Can the Punisher defeat a Predator?

Can the Punisher defeat a Predator?

Potentially, yes. He's at least as resilient and competent as Harrigan or Dutch, if not moreso. That said, they got lucky a few times.

Predators get BTFO by run of the mill cops, what the fuck are they going to do against the guy with one of the thickest plot armors in capeshit?

I mean I guess, if he really wanted to

>one of the thickest plot armors in capeshit?
Quite the hyperbole.

Maybe. Predators have died to dumber shit than Punisher, before.

If the Predator is a standard honorable hunter, it's possible, maybe even very likely that Frank could do it.

If the Predator is a bloodlusted psycho just out to kill with no sense of honor whatsoever, though, then Frank's head explodes or his neck gets sliced or what have you in his sleep.

I wouldn't call Harrigan run of the mill. He was a hard boiled and tough as nails veteran super cop. The run of the mill cops and gang bangers got slaughtered. As did the run of the mill proto-MiB special forces G men. And they had Gary fucking Busey with them.

The real question is: Could Frank beat two Predators (only one of them is honorable) in the midst of a massive Xenomorph infestation of supermax prison city New York while also preventing a T1000 Terminator from killing Eddie Murphy, and he only has 48 hours! And the Predator has diplomatic immunity!

No other supers, just Frank, final destination.

Loyal Predator and Frank join togheter with a Schwarzenegger Terminator (because every itme there is a termator from the future there is a good Terminator) to kill the Xeno. Unhonorable Predator get fucked by the Xeno.The question is, can Terminator, honorable Predator and Frank kill a T1000?

Easily. Inverse ninja law applies to both predators AND Marvel universe. It's why Frank is able to take out entire armies of guys alone, why "Soandso kills the Marvel Universe" is possible. and why shit like AVP Requiem is possible.

The dishonorable predator would get fucking spanked, but not before damaging Frank, leading the honorable predator to handicap itself somehow, probably by not using some of its hi-tech shit, and then they'd have a fierce battle ending in a honor stalemate or Frank barely winning.

you mean one of Galactus's Punishers?

In a shocking twist it turns out the Schwarzenegger Terminator was actually a double agent and it was sent back by Weyland-Yutani corp. to acquire Xenomorph samples to use in its bioweapons program. Bummer.

On the bright side, if Frank can kill enough Xenomorphs in one place he could totally dissolve the T1000 in a large enough pool of their highly corrosive blood. Turns out nanomachines melt just fine.

The MiB won't like a dead diplomat, but I guess that's not Frank's problem.

yes, it would be a 100-minute movie where predator is shown to be near unstoppable and Frank wins like ahnold, setting traps, deducing how to cointetr his alien tech, and challenging the ptedator to 1v1

it wouldn't be easy, and it will test Frank to the limit, but if the governator can do it, so can the punisher

The real question is WOULD Frank kill a Predator?

More than likely it would be out hunting criminals, both super and mundane, as well as all those pussy half-measure heroes, and would display a complete aversion to killing the innocent.
Frank and a Pred would get on like a house on fire once they both see the other is a hunter.

At least, until they run out of prey and the Pred decides Frank would be the ultimate mantle piece, but I would only accept that after Frank and Pred engage in badass back-to-back slaughter.

Send in Bill Paxton

A Predator would pretty quickly establish Frank as a worthy prey. Leaving Frank to fight him on self-defense if nothing else

Frank would be challenged, but he'd win, no doubt. If fucking Donald Glover can win in a melee with a Predator (albeit injured), Frank can take one for sure.

Just no respect for Harrigan in here, damn.

Preds have sided with worthy prey when surrounded by enemies, they've also spared those that save them, if only once.

I could see Frank and a Pred slaughtering a large group of gangsters, with a meta-human gangster ambushing the Pred and Frank saving it, thereby causing it to pass up trying to kill him.
Frank sees it as just another right-minded thing prowling the streets, and it seeing him as worthy prey that gets a pass
Only later would Frank find out that it's basically a dick on safari and starts gunning for it, then it sees him as a real choice trophy and starts gunning for him.
In the end, the Pred gets Frank'd, Frank gets around its self-destruct, and the issue ends with Frank tear-assing through criminals with Predator blades, a cloaking device, and retooled plasma-caster

This must become a comic

>If fucking Donald Glover can win in a melee with a Predator

Fuck that, Adrian Brody killed a Predator. Their officially chumps

Harrigan's a beast, dude

And that Pred was a youngling missing a hand with multiple shotgun wounds to the torso

Frank would go through a few young ones with significant difficulty, but he'd be lucky to survive against a full-blooded veteran like the kind we see at the end of Predator 2
