Predator (Fugitive)

Predator's History

The Fugitive Predator, also known as the Rogue Predator, was a Yautja/human hybrid and rival of the Upgrade Predator. Despite killing humans, the Fugitive's aim was to deliver a weapon known as the "Predator Killer" to humanity so that they could fend off some kind of invasion.

The Fugitive Predator first appeared in his spaceship trying to escape from another Predator ship that was attacking it. The enemy spaceship does some significant damage to it just before the Fugitive Predator opened a wormhole and flew through it. The wormhole opened in Earth’s orbit and the Fugitive Predator’s ship tumbled towards Earth. The ship crash landed in a forest but moments before, a pod was ejected from the ship.

Quinn McKenna was on a mission to rescue hostages in Mexico when the pod crashed near him. He went to investigate, finding the pod already open, and recovered the Fugitive Predator’s helmet and wrist gauntlet. Fugitive appeared cloaked in the trees and killed one of McKenna’s team. Fugitive then fired a plasma shot that killed another member of the team and threw McKenna to the ground. As Fugitive approached him, McKenna accidentally activated the wrist gauntlet which fired a projectile that injured Fugitive and knocked him to the ground. McKenna walked off and the wrist gauntlet ejected a spherical device which was later revealed to be a cloaking device.

McKenna mailed the helmet and wrist gauntlet to a home address in America and later his son Rory inadvertently finds it. The government sect behind Project Stargazer recovered the pod as well as the Fugitive Predator for study. The scientists concluded that the Predator had human DNA inside of it. The enemy spaceship that was attacking the Fugitive Predator soon arrived on Earth carrying a much more advanced version of the Predator: the Upgrade Predator.

Back in the laboratory, the Fugitive Predator regained consciousness and broke free from the restraints. He killed many scientists and military personnel before finding his weaponry and equipment. The Predator realized that the helmet and gauntlet that McKenna took aren’t there and got angry. He went to the decontamination area, finding a naked Casey Brackett sitting down, but the Predator spared her. He left the area before killing another guard and taking his gun. The Predator fired the rifle at the other guards before stealing the helmet and shoulder cannon from behind a display cabinet.

The Fugitive Predator accessed his helmet remotely and realized it’s in Rory’s basement. The Predator sees a note through the helmet which tells him the name of Rory’s school and heads there. The Predator escaped the Stargazer base and saw the Upgraded Predator’s spaceship being pursued by F-22s. The Fugitive started running with Casey and the Loonies in pursuit. McKenna fired a shotgun at Fugitive who turned around and fired a projectile at the bus, which punctured the tire. Fugitive then boarded a military truck, killing all the soldiers in the back and deceived the driver into thinking everything was okay with a thumbs-up from a severed hand.

The Fugitive Predator caught up with Loonies at the school. He jumped on the roof of the RV, pulled Nettles out of the driver’s seat, and fired a warning shot with his shoulder cannon. He targeted Rory with his laser before telling the group to lower their weapons. McKenna shotat Fugitive and he, Rory, and Casey head into the school. The Loonies stayed outside and almost get hit by a plasma shot.

Fugitive catches up with them and grabbed McKenna up by the window. McKenna shows the Predator the device from the wrist gauntlet and gives it to him. Just then, the Upgrade Predator appeared from behind the window and pulled Fugitive through it. Fugitive managed to fire a shot from his shoulder cannon but missed. He then attempted to use his wristblades against Upgrade but they snapped on contact with Upgrade’s tough skin. The Upgraded Predator threw him onto a parked car, removed his helmet and smashed his face with a punch. He then tore Fugitive’s skull and spine out, tossing it aside. The Upgraded Predator later destroyed Fugitive’s ship to prevent the humans from taking it.

It was revealed that the Fugitive Predator wasn’t on Earth to kill mankind but instead to save them. The Fugitive Predator had stolen a special Predator weapon called the Predator Killer as he wanted to give it to the people on Earth to help them defend against an incoming invasion from a different faction of Predators. The scientists had recovered the pod the Fugitive arrived in and as they were studying it, the pod opened and revealed the Predator Killer. It latched onto a nearby worker and encased him in full Predator armor and weaponry before deactivating.
