Hero of the Month - Edition N°10

After the villain of the month, it is natural to show now which hero will be on the soptlight this month. And for this month of June 2016, I present one of the member of the honorable race of the Yautjas or Predators for humans: Wolf, the elite hunter of the movie AVP: Requiem.


The story begins when Wolf, sitting at home on his home planet, receives a transmission, a warning message from a Predator spaceship that had crashed on planet earth. Wolf decides to leave to go investigate the crash and discover the origins of the call. On site, Wolf discovered the wreck of the ship, crashed in the woods of Colorado, and in the wreck, found the bodies of several of his brothers Predators, dead, and one of them that sent the message before dying . Thanks to the archives stored in the mask of his dead brother, Wolf discovered that the ship was carrying facehuggers and that they have escaped into the wild, and more, the crash of the vessel was caused by a hybrid creature, the Predalien . Wolf decides to go in search of this abomination and to destroy it at any cost.
For the duration of the film, Wolf sees little by little the extent of the Xenomorph invasion that is spreading in the small town of Gunnison and repeatedly, will fight against the Xenomorphs and demonstrate fighting skills of veteran facing the enemy superior in number. It's on the roof of the hospital in the city that Wolf finds the Predalien and begins his fight against him. But the Predalien is more resistant and stronger than ordinary Xenomorph, and Wolf has many trouble to kill him. During a struggle or Wolf was not over, he manages to mortally wound the Predalien by piercing the head with his metal claws, but unfortunately, Wolf is also fatally wounded after the Predalien pierced the body with its tail. The two enemies die together, face to face. Wolf's body is sprayed, along the Predalien and all the aliens, by the bomb that humans launches to raze the city and stem the invasion. Wolf dies as a warrior, but his plasma gun is recovered by the organization of Ms. Yutani, future associated of Mr. Weyland, who later formed the company Weyland-Yutani.


Wolf is not an ordinary Predator because he is an elite hunter, a veteran who survived hundreds of hunts, as shown at the beginning of the film his collection of masks, trophies and weapons. His face is also marked by time and fights, and one of its mandibles is missing, scar of an old hunting.
With his experience, Wolf showed incredible strength and fighting spirit against the Xenomorph army and manages to stand up to many of them, alone. Wolf therefore seems to know the Xenomorphs and by seeing how he fights against them, it seems that this is not the first time he faced them. Although the goal of Wolf is to stop the invasion and killing the Predalien, he does not hesitate to kill humans, usually embarrassing witnesses who noticed his presence. Wolf seems also to try to protect humans sometimes, Because in a scene, he kills a man with a gun who was with a woman and her daughter. The man began to go crazy and threatening to hit the girl if she did not shut up. Wolf may have thought the man wanted to kill them. Wolf's death is tragic but epic, as he died, taking with him the abomination, the Predalien, that killed several Predators in the ship. The honor of Wolf is saved and it's as a warrior that he left to join his ancestors.

Although he appears that in one film, for his strength, courage, fighting alone against an army, and his sacrifice to save a planet that was not his, Wolf deserves his place in the list of heroes, not monsters.


See you next month for the next edition \m/
