It was mortal , fiercer , and operated on pure inherent aptitude rather than the homo - same cunning that the classic Xenomorphs always demo . This made thefinal battle between Gabriel Cruz and the Alpha Xenomorphthat much more intense , as they defend on the outside of a blank station like two ancient warrior making their last stand .

While an average host generally has one Chestburster growing inside of them , this human host had ahorde of bug - like alien puppet vaguely resemble Xenomorphs grow throughout his body , and his total bloated carcass explode to reveal these chitter creature as they scurried out of him in pursuit of more hosts .

While she did n’t technically die , but rather evolved into something that was tease to bring about the end of humankind ( as discover inAlienVol . 1 # 6 ) , this variation was arguably a fate worse than demise , as she slaughtered her friends and class after her variation was ended .

Alien Annual2023 #1 by Declan Shalvey and Danny Earls
The previous submission is n’t the only time Xenomorphs combat the white Xenomorph hybrids , as there was actually a war that break-dance out on LV-695 long before the events ofAlienVol . 3 between the classic and white Xenomorphs . As it turn out , the white Xenomorphs were a solution of classic Facehuggers infecting a aboriginal LV-695 species that was more animalistic and physically impose than humanity , resulting in a deadly race of Xenomorphs .
Thiswar had a plethora of amazing kills , both from the classic and white Xenomorphs , but it stand out as a specially epic moment in modernAlienlore because it ’s remindful of thewar between the red and black Xenomorphsas shown inAliens : Genocide , but with a novel level of significance that applies specifically to the currentAliencanon .
1The Xenomorphs Are An Ancient Weapon Of Cosmic Cleansing
AlienVol. 1 #6 Phillip Kennedy Johnson and Salvador Larroca
While hybrids , development , and classic kills are integral aspects of theAlienmythos , the idea that the creatures are n’t just ‘ space bugs ’ , but living weapons wielded by cosmic horror the like of which the human judgement can barely comprehend is one of the most interesting additions toAlienlore in the franchise ’s chronicle ( while also being ridiculously cruel ) . This issue reveals that every species advanced enough to achieve space travel come across the Xenomorphs in one form or another ( including the Engineers , who take on the ‘ Xenomorphs ’ in the ‘ Black Goo ’ stage ) . This is a cosmic inevitability , asthe task of the ‘ Xenomorphs ’ is to keep life in - check across the existence . The Engineers were destroyed by the Black Goo after they examine to ‘ combine ’ with it by using it to sow life on other worlds . And now , humanity are on this cosmic force of darkness ’ radar , as Xenomorph hybridizations ( as shown inAlienVol . 2 ) are destined to bring humanity to a fleet and violent end , just like the Engineers .
The pith of the Xenomorph is a cosmic closed book , but its purpose is light : clean the macrocosm of life once it reach a sure point of advancement - and it ’s been doing this presumably since the dawn of time . That ’s an incomprehensible putting to death - count , and is well the most brutal of the 10 Xenomorph kills from Marvel’sAlien(so far ) .
