They have discovered a parallel dimensional space with energy resources and vast knowledge called the N-Zone. A young science prodigy named Reed Richards was enlisted in the program with Victor Van Damme, Ben Grimm, Johnny Storm and Sue Storm. A teleportation gate for the N-Zone is build to run a teleportation test that was meant to teleport an apple to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

What they did not knew then was that, Victor Van Damme had already modified the machine’s setting coordinates that results the device to send them all in five separate locations and all of their "phase-space condition" is completely altered forever. A former Baxter Building instructor Arthur Molekevic, kidnaps Sue Storm and the rest of the group led an attack on his underground lab.

With Victor soon becoming their enemy, the remaining four labeled them as “Fantastic Four” and started exploring further with their amazing gifts. When they again entered the N-Zone, they found and battled its ruler the insectoid tyrant Nihil, eventually allied themselves up with The Ultimates, met the race of Inhumans and crossed paths with a reformed and demented Victor as Doctor Doom.

Predator | Comics

On an alien prime home world of their own, there lives an extraterrestrial race of humanoid beings known as The Yautja, or simply as Predators. These beings are one of the most deadly species that ever existed in the universe as they constantly prey on other dangerous life forms for sport using blades, retractable spears and nets.

Other than that they also uses advanced energy based laser weapons and camouflage technology. Upon setting the traps and playfully killing the prey, the Predators often mutilate the body of its victim to collect the head as a trophy. This hunting also somehow proves their worthiness to their clan as established hunters and led them in conflict with many races; even humans.

For centuries, the Predators have been visiting earth along with many other inhabitable planets of the solar system and their inhabitants for the purpose of better game hunting and till date, the Alien Xenomorphs are the best opponents they have ever encountered throughout the entire galaxy.

Killing Xenomorphs on their first hunt sought to prove their worth to the clan they belongs and a Yautja with a reputation of destroying Alien hives are regarded with highest honor. Yet, they also found the humans quite formidable on few of their visits on Earth and eventually either met defeat at a human’s hand or teamed-up with them to face greater threats like massive Xenomorph outbreaks or The Engineers.

Created by Jim and John Thomas as a fictional character who belongs to an extraterrestrial species, Predator was introduced back in 1987 as an antagonist in the John McTiernan directed film of the same titular name. Later the film spawned its array and even made crossovers with another iconic character; Aliens. Dark Horse Comics got the publishing rights to the comic book stories featuring the character and the idea of a crossover came up in their minds first as they launched “Aliens Vs. Predators”.
