Conan vs. The Predator



I've mentioned in the past that we play "Versus" fairly often at work. James proposed Conan vs. Predator today, and I stopped in my tracks. What a brilliant idea. Why have I never thought of this before? Sure, we've done RoboCop vs. Predator and Terminator vs. Predator, even Punisher vs. Predator, but to bring Conan into the mix... game changer.

The best part about this match-up is that it neither contender's cannon is violated. There's no reason to believe that Predators haven't been coming to earth since the Hyborian age, and the Predator's powers and tech aren't out of line with the kind of fucked up monsters and sorcery Conan puts up with on a daily basis.

Furthermore, it's a fair fight. Often when playing "Versus" a n00b will say Superman vs. [insert anyone else here]. This pisses me off to no end. There's no contest. I don't even like comics, and I certainly don't like Superman, but if you take his powers at face value, he's nigh on invincible, making him the de facto winner every time. Where's the sport in that? (As a side note, perpetual favorite Batman vs. Punisher is being made into some sort of bad fan film. Sounds fucking awesome to me. And a side, side note, Punisher: War Zone comes out next week. Yuk.)

So put your thinking caps on and work the kinks out of a Conan vs. Predator battle. Game on.
