I think that the Predator has more durability to things like shells but I don't think that Pred's by and large have the same durability for blunt force that Spidey does...
I just keep thinking of all the trouble Spiderman has with expert fighters.. now you take one of those fighters and put them into a 5-10 ton lifting capacity and things look like they could get grim for Spiderman...
Tha said though, this is way too vague.. Pred's abilities jump all over the board.. Some can heave tanks into the air, or toss jeeps aside like paperweights, others have been crushed by a couple of tons of debris... Or less.
We all know how badass elder predators are "supposed" to be but are there even any on panel feats that put that rep past the point of hyperbole?
The more I think about this, the more I give it to Spiderman until I see some evidence that makes me think otherwise..
I'm a hardcore Predator fan, but I'm agreeing with Jinzin here. Common Predators are between 5-10 tons at most, there have been some super strong ones, but they also were quite mad, which would hinder their performance.
Also, one thing handicapping the Predator would be his code of the hunt. He would encage Spider-man in hand to hand combat, and would probably webbed up and then manhandled.
A Elder Predator knowing what's he's up against would be a different matter, he'd utilize most of his weaponry at the same time, making him a very difficult opponent, but given Spider-man's record of dodging things, webs smarts and agility I'd still give Spider-man a slight edge.
Now, saying things like "Spider-man wins this easily" Is pretty stupid though, and people should go and read some Predator comics if they think this would be a tossup.
Code of honour Elder Pred = Spiderman 9/10
Prepared Elder Predator = Spiderman 6/10
