Match 11473 Scar Predator vs. Omega Red

[Guest SmileyPredator]

It's pretty annoying when people undersell predators (via cherry-picking weak showings or plain ignorance), but I feel that pitting Scar against Omega Red is overselling Scar. The Scar I'm familiar with is the one in the movie, not Elder Scar in so-and-so's story arc (essentialy fanfiction).

 

Scar is a Yautja teenager, a youth on the verge of manhood. He's an inexperienced, Unblooded adolescent of his species (see the following interview [watch from 4:28] with the director of the first AvP film)

He's a young novice who ends up failing his trial of adulthood. Defeating half a dozen xenomorphs with a glaive would probably be a challenging enough task for Scar. Judging by what I know of both characters, I believe Omega outclasses Scar by a wide margin. .

 

I can only see Omega losing to an elder or a team of experienced warriors employing tactics to maximise their chances.

 

As for adamantium vs. plasma-forged Yautja metal, there's really no way to know for sure which is superior (or whether they're equal). Giving Scar adamantium is a good way of avoiding that debate.

 

Yautja have incredibly strong immune systems, as evidenced by this (thanks RakaiThwei) and other examples in the media (in Captive, the predator resists a toxin specifically designed to kill him). However, I don't think the healing factor is unneccessary. Giving Scar a healing factor on top of his already impressive immune system is a good way of narrowing the gap. I'm certain that with a healing factor, he can resist death spores to a signifcant degree and tank a few tendril strikes. Frankly, I don't see Scar putting up much of a challenge without some enhancements.
