So it's Dark Horse's comics that are responsible for launching the AVP-verse. It actually goes farther back than the AVP comics too since the concept was introduced in Dark Horse Presents #36 which was released in January of 1990.
The design of City Hunter being better is debatable, I prefer Jungle Hunter myself. City Hunter's arsenal is a definite upgrade though compared to the bare-bones set of weapons used by JH.

The original outline of predator 2 was essentially the miniseries later renamed concrete jungle, but they changed it and after negotiations or some such with arnold didnt work out and few others didnt oan out they tweaked it and we got the sequel we did. Not a horrible movie at all but it kinda makes me onder if theyd gone that route with dutchs brother would we have gotten a movie version of cold war?
And on a lil "yes i have too much useless info in my brain" tidbit most of the predators that showed up around harrigan at the end were la lakers players.
