Stark was startled. Curiosity got the better of him, and he tested the blade's sharpness before examining the Predator Shoulder Cannon again. He pursed his lips, hesitated, then said, "A Particle Cannon with adjustable power, combined with the Reactor's capabilities, would be incredibly powerful.
Clearly, the Predators we ran into near the North Pole had something wrong with their brains, just as Norman said.

Could one go up against a 'God'? I think so!
Especially in large numbers. Predators with their innate combat instincts are natural destroyers."
