Talk to your group. Assign stat values based on consensus, or by diktat if you are the Arbitrator.
Use them in Arbitrator Scenarios only, or as one-off Hired Guns or Mentors, depending.
Perhaps use the Predator as part of a Purge! Scenario?

Try to be characterful, but don't make these guys unstoppable. Figure out the setting too: Some combinations should be avoided in some situations for the characters to be fun and attainable or defeatable (neologisms all the way baby!) by the gang or gangs facing them.

I would just keep it simple. Predator as Malcadon definitely fits - use in an NPC type role.
The others I would just use them as standard scum, bounty hunter, etc. |

pretty sure there are some rules for a time-oriented wyrd somewhere. seems like a logical place to start for the doctor.
don't forget, he needs a sidekick... |

Methinks it's extremely difficult, not to say impossible for 1 character to take on a gang by itself. The 3 wounds will definitely help, but I think that's the cheap way out.
Having said that I should obviously come up with an alternative. I recall a scenario where 2 or more gangs where fighting it out and the Predator was dropped in by an arbitrator as a nasty surprise. I believe the scenario was Total Recall, but I'm not sure and can't find it anymore. Basically the Predator hunted sole gangmembers for trofees; when caught a gangmember it returned to it's lair/nest to kill the ganger(1 whole turn) after which it would hunt again. When dropped on the map it was invisible until attacking some1, after which it became visible only if others then it's target could see it. It had evade +1 when moving and evade +2 when standing still.
It was wonderful to see the reactions of the competing players when the Predator entered play/ Alas you can use this only once, after which the surprise effect is gone. Good luck with your game. As said before, Predator should not be played as a 'gang', but as an arbitrator-played character.

Well, for me at least, it all depends on how you wanna use him/them.
Are these guys a speed bump? A death sentence? A fun game?

Well, if there's gonna be 3, then maybe run something akin to what is in the AVP comics Vol.1: 2 young hunters with a hunting party leader.
Tone the young bucks down till they can hurt gangers but make the leader a toughie, not as bad as my initial draft.
