I still consider Predator a super hero. I know what he does isn't super hero material. But growing up kids were into Ninja Turtles and comic book heroes and all those. I was into Predator. Whenever I saw something bad on the news like terrorism , I always hoped somehow Predator would go in there and massacre the lot of them. Any one else think Predator is like an anti hero?

He displays no traits that could be associated with being an anti hero. In all of the Predator films they are depicted as murderous blood thirsty killers with their own form of respect for certain rules and certain prey.

Superhero and antihero may be a bit extreme in describing their actions but I can understand how some people formulate that perception of them. I know I idolized them when I was younger and thought something along the lines of "hah I'm a kid and a girl so they won't hurt me!"

Their intentions aren't necessarily to do good like a superhero, but more selfish and for the thrill of hunting. Though this doesn't take away the idea that they are aware of various situations where there are unarmed victims up against armed attackers.

Spoiler
In regards to what takes place in the new movie: I haven't read the script  so I'm not sure to what extent how friendly the friendly predators are but I'm assuming they respect humans enough to the point where you can argue that their actions are heroic. I really like that this movie is playing up on individualizing each predator; they all have their own thoughts and motives to go along with what seems to be a common code of honor.

The Predators are really just people with better technology. Considering they leave no witnesses if they can help it... uh not even close to an anti-hero at the moment. More like we monkey, they human.
