The character of Superman was created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster during the time of the Great Depression. The "Boy Scout," whose real identity is Clark Kent, is an alien sent to Earth following the explosion of his home planet, Krypton. When Kent eventually becomes his Superman persona, he is known for his unrelenting quest to rid the world of evil and wrongdoers, saving anyone he can in the process. His history has immortalized him as one of the most popular comic book heroes of all time. The character of Predator, also known as The Predator or Yautja, is a science-fiction/horror antagonist originating from the 1987 film Predator. The Predator is a race of alien species who travel across the galaxy in certain times of the year to conduct hunts on fellow species they see as competition. Since his debut, Predator has become a pop culture icon, crossing over into comic books. The company of Dark Horse Comics owns the publishing rights of the character in comic book format and have released 41 unique tales thus far, not including the various number of crossovers, collected editions and reprints. In the time leading up to the Superman vs. Predator crossover, companies DC Comics and Dark Horse Comics had already established a healthy partnership, beginning with their first joint comic book series, 1991's Batman Versus Predator. This crossover was shortly followed by DC Comics pitting Superman against Dark Horse Comics characters Aliens, the same species from the science-fiction film series. The plan from both companies was to eventually have Superman and The Predator fight each other, which came to fruition in the year 2000.
Super Predator has not been a contender in any CBUB matches.
