The year is 1930 and New Way City is visited by a creature of extraterrestrial origin, known as the Predator . He is not there to conquer or make first contact; he is there to hunt, and his prey is Man. After taking on warring mobsters, the Predator is shot in the eye and hastily escapes, but leaves some of his equipment behind. While attempting to escape from the city in his ship, rubble falls onto the wounded hunter and pins him in place. In a suicidal attempt at preventing his remaining gear from being pilfered by humans, the Predator causes his ship to self-destruct; However, he survives and is rescued by his clan-folk. By committing the grave taboo of allowing his prey to obtain Predator technology, the one-eyed Predator is exiled to a hostile desert planet.
