Carson Norris worked as a big game tour guide and tracker all over Africa after his stint in the British SAS. He tracked prey for wealthy clients allowing them perfect shots for their trophy case. One day while in Kenya on a hunt with a wealthy American named Costanzo, Carson overheard Costanzo talking via satellite radio to someone ordering a hit on an American District Judge. Thinking nothing of it since Carson also lived outside some laws of men, he continued with the hunt. Costanzo, realizing Carson may have overheard something he should not have heard, ordered one of his men to make Carson have an accident. The underling shot Carson in the back and he fell down into a gully where a pride of lions called home. The lions looked upon Carson as a kindred spirit and He stayed with them until his GorWol trait healed him. He then trekked back to civilization, made his way to Chicago and hunted the mafia Don Costanzo as Predator. After killing Costanzo Carson began hunting other heroes and criminals as prey. Predator has increased speed, reflexes, endurance and senses. He can also regenerate and heal from wounds. He fashioned and uses two super strong and sharp tempered steel claws, one on each hand.
