HISTORY

The history of the Predator is quite convoluted, with multiple accounts for its origin and nature. Recently, it has been learned the Predator is in fact an entity created from the emotional spectrum. The Predator represents the color violet, love.

When Carol Ferris had been cured from her evil Star Sapphire (II) persona, it was believed at the time that she developed a third subconscious identity, the male Predator. Deprived of Hal Jordan's love at the time, Carol found everything she wanted from a man in the Predator - masculinity, strength, and care.

Physically separated from Carol's body, the Predator repeatedly appeared as a mysterious figure, protecting Carol's beloved company Ferris Aircraft from the threats of Eclipso, the Demolition Team and Jason Bloch. He also established the company Intercontinental Petroleum (Con-Trol) to let her regain control of Ferris Aircraft. Finally, the Predator started to court Carol (who did not know that the Predator was a part of herself) and battled Hal Jordan for her love. Hal defeated the Predator and witnessed him merging with Carol into Star Sapphire.

Later, the Predator reappeared and revealed that it was actually an ancient parasite from the planet Maltus who had impregnated Star Sapphire with a demonic entity.

Still later, both the Predator and the Star Sapphire were completely separated from Carol, and Star Sapphire actually gave birth to the child. Shortly afterwards, the parents were killed by Neron, who departed with their baby in his arms. There has been no mention of this since. - Extreme Justice #11

Some time afterwards, the Predator was seen to be one of an army of Predators. They were believed to be Qwardian demons.
