9 Game Of Thrones Warriors Who Could Defeat The Night's King

2. Bran Stark

If the Night's King is really THE Night's King of legend, then it's only fitting (prophetic?) that he'll be brought down by a character bearing the same name as Brandon the Breaker. After all it was he who, along with the then King in the North and the King-Beyond-the-Wall, brought an end to his reign of terror during the Age of Heroes. 

Bran Stark was absent from season 5, but it's been confirmed that he'll be back next year and there's a very good chance he'll be returning with some serious Jedi-like powers as a result of his training with the Three-Eyed Raven. Like Dany, it's just highly unlikely that Bran won't factor into the final conflict in some way as it's what his entire arc has been building towards since he began experiencing those visions. 

Speaking of which, who popped up in one such vision back in season 4 when Bran laid his hand on the Weirwood tree? Yep, that was a quick flash of the Night's King walking towards the last of Craster's sons on the alter. There could very well be a showdown on the cards, and If Bran's powers do reach Yoda levels by the end of the story, we could even see him warg into the Night's King himself.
