@WhoWouldWin13 What's interesting about this fight is that Batman, Red Hood's sensei, fought Predators on several occasions. Though Batman came out the ultimate victor, it was a hard struggle, the predators made him work for it. However, these battles may involve a totally different universe,

@WhoWouldWin13 one where characters from both DC and Dar Horse comics lived together, and thus not canon. Nevertheless, the battles are realistic when it comes to Batman's strategy, tactics and capability.

Yet this brings up an interesting point; if these battles occurred in a different

@WhoWouldWin13 universe, then the mainstream DC comics Batman not only would never have fought a predator before, he thus would also have never told Jason Todd about them, mentioning their strengths and weaknesses. Thus, Jason Todd will have no frame of reference when it comes to battling a

@WhoWouldWin13 Predator.

However, he has a few aces up his sleeve.

Predators are freakishly strong, capable of tearing a man's spinal column and skull together out of his body with one jerk of his arm. Indeed, one did the same trick to a large Alaskan Brown Bear in the novel "Predator:

@WhoWouldWin13 Turnabout" (though in the latter case, he may have had to make several attempts, and his claws may have also given him a far better grip. Most of the time, a cop can't kick a door down with the first attempt. But if he continues over and over, he'll eventually pull it off.)

@WhoWouldWin13 However, Jason Todd not only has Peak Human physicality (meaning he's far stronger and tougher than any man a Predator has ever fought), in particular, he has peak human speed and agility. Though Predators are capable at times of extreme bursts of speed (interestingly enough

@WhoWouldWin13 only while cloaked), they are most of the time a big sluggish, moving like we'd expect a giant man of the same size to do. Thus, in most cases, Jason Todd will dominate in terms of speed.

Along with this, he'll dominate in terms of hand to hand combat.
Todd was trained by

@WhoWouldWin13 Batman, who has mastered over 120 martial arts. Jason hasn't mastered as many disciplines, but he's mastered a lot of them, using his knowledge to combine them into a fighting style tat can rival even the Batman's, despite his greater knowledge of fighting styles.

@WhoWouldWin13 Indeed, Red Hood has given Batman a run for his money on several occasions, and is both well versed in weaponry and has a killer instinct that Batman absolutely lacks. Indeed, in some ways Red Hood is similar to Punisher in this regard, though far more lethal.

Now, compare

@WhoWouldWin13 him to all the other people who have killed Predators:

Dutch: Green Beret, very muscular and very strong, but not anywhere near peak human physicality.

Lieutenant Mike Harrigan (Predator 2): LA cop, big guy but nowhere near the same physicality as Dutch, let alone Red Hood.

@WhoWouldWin13 Royce (Predator 3, mercenary with black ops training). Also likewise nowhere near as strong or as large as Dutch, and nowhere near as lethal or as physically capable as Jason Todd aka red hood.

Indeed, if Red Hood fought any of these jokers...do you think he would actually...

@WhoWouldWin13 ...lose?

I mean, he's fought the freaking Batman on numerous occasions, for crying out loud! Indeed, if memory serves me correctly, he even wears state of the art body armor.

@WhoWouldWin13 I cannot imagine many peak human characters from DC or Marvel that would be more dangerous for a Predator to hunt than Jason Todd. If it wants any chance of success, it will have to try to go for a shoulder cannon takedown while cloaked, or a super fast invisible charge.

@WhoWouldWin13 Now, a predator can certainly do both, but...they've had such abilities, and humans with no powers have been able to beat them.

And none of these humans had Batman's training and peak human physicality.

@WhoWouldWin13 My conclusion?

RED HOOD PILEDRIVES THE PREDATOR!!!!!!!
