An Elder Predator, all alone, with no clan and taking no orders from his own kind, went after the strongest being in the Alien universe: this is basically the most insane Predator hunt I have ever seen recorded in an official comic book, and in this video, I'll break down exactly how Ahab defeated an Engineer in practice.

What's up guys, Gabriel here once again! Have you ever stopped to think about what has to happen for a Predator to go toe-to-toe with an Engineer — that giant creature from Prometheus — and actually make it out alive? Well, that's exactly what Ahab did. He's an Elder Predator tired of small prey and obsessed with a species that practically no other Predator had properly cataloged.

I'll tell you who Ahab really is, where the nickname comes from, and why he became fixated on an Engineer right after encountering Xenomorphs. We also dive into the most unlikely duo in this story: Ahab and the mercenary Galgo Helder, who was kidnapped right in the middle of the hunt and accidentally becomes a key piece against the Engineer later on.

And the clash itself is totally mismatched from the very first second: a Predator running on pure instinct against an Engineer with strength that the comics themselves describe as god-like. Broken arm, broken leg, and even then, Ahab doesn't give up — he just changes his strategy. If you love Alien, Predator, and want to understand how Ahab manages to beat something the size of an Engineer without relying on brute force alone, stick with me until the end of this video. Let's get into it!
