word of advice ! This clause contains spoilers for Alien # 3WhenXenomorphswere introduced in theAlienfranchise , they had an air travel of mystery surrounding them which only add to the gossamer horror of their repugnant existence – which is why the species ’ origin was met with such controversy . However , whether fans like it or not , it seems like that controversial origin is formally canon within the ongoingAliencontinuity , and one comic potentially prove it .
In Ridley Scott ’s 2017 filmAlien : Covenant , fans are give something of an origin account for the Xenomorph coinage , though it is n’t straight off obvious whether it is an official origin or if the ‘ Xenomorph ’ creatures in this film were simply a reverse - engineered version of the original . In the film , a squad of space traveler are await for a new world on which to resolve when they come across a viable planet that is much closer than their original name and address . When they arrive at the planet , the travelers are greeted by a seemingly helpful Synthetic named David who drive up mansion house on this planet follow the events ofPrometheus . unluckily , David was not as secure as he seemedand had been using the biological weapon he discovered in the old picture to conduct twisted experimentation that he hoped would buckle under new life , and David pay off what he bid for . Through those experiments , David successfully created multiple Ovomorphs containing the infamous Facehuggers , and after those Facehuggers infected some of the human travelers , they gave lifetime to Xenomorphs – presumably , the first Xenomorphs in the galaxy .

Alien: Steel Team’s Comment Mirrors Christian Theology
This comment made by the Steel Team Synthetic is a lineal reference to the phrase , ' Jesus wept ' which , theologically speak , means that He understands the suffering of His people and watchword for their pain . The Christian belief is that Jesus , God , and the Holy Spirit are all one and the same and are known as the Holy Trinity . Since it is believe that God created humankind , and Jesus is God , then the phrase ' Jesus weep ' also means that God feels the pain of his creations . So , in thisAlienissue , the Steel Team Synthetic swaps out ‘ Jesus ’ for ‘ David ’ asit was David who produce the Xenomorphs , and it would have been he would weep in response to this one ’s bother in the scene .
While it is n’t one - hundred percent substantiate that the Steel Team Synthetic in this issue was utter about David fromPrometheusandAlien : Covenant , the way this scene was structure and the phrasing she used sure as shooting indicate as much . If this theory does prove to be precise , thenAlienjust confirm thattheXenomorphs ’ controversial rootage storyis canon and David did n’t just reversal - engineer the species , but actually created it .
Alien#3 by Marvel Comics is available now .
