Predator
This visitor from another planet preys on the biggest, fastest, and strongest of the human race and summarily hunts them down and kills them in a number of juicy ways. Would you prefer the shoulder-holstered missile launcher or the double-bladed, saw-toothed, hand-fastened knife nightmares that would make Wolverine jump out of his tights? Whatever he uses, his victims become part of his traveling trophy case of skulls.
What may be the most terrifying part of this Mofo is the way that he doesn't seem to care about human life... with one exception. He never seems to kill women. In that way, he would seem to believe in some kind of universal hunter/hitman/killer code: no women, no kids. Just like The Professional. Perhaps...
All I know is that between the cloaking device, the hunter mentality, and the alien noises, appearance, and technology, this guy is as nasty as Mofos come. However, as Arnold himself says: "If it bleeds, we can kill it." Indeed, you can, but it'll take a helluva lot of physical strength, endurance, and mental outwitting to do it.
INTELLIGENCE - 6: Hunts by using his experience and/or training, but beyond that, he's merely a hunter using his skills.
POWER - 9: Superhuman size and strength. If you can kick Arnold's ass, you score well here. (Nice shoulder gun too!)
VILENESS - 10: Skins his victims after ripping their skulls and spinal cords out of their bodies. Anyone gonna argue with a 10 here?
SWAY - 6: His breathing and growling noises are pretty damn scary to say the least. Let's his actions speak for him.
PURITY - 8: While looking for big game (humans), it would seem he enjoys his hunt... but doesn't kill women. Hmm.
PHYSICAL - 10: His cloaking device helps him hide from prey. Without that, he's pretty terrifying. Without his mask: YIKES!
TOTAL: 49
