Alien
monition ! This article check spoilers forAlien#3Fans of theAlienfranchise are well aware of how it started , and how the Nostromo ’s one little apparently unrehearsed trip to LV-426 hold spirit to one of the smashing science fiction series to escort . However , in the latest improver toAlienlore , everything fans thought they knew was flipped on its head as one time seemingly change the enfranchisement ’s mythos forever by potentially confirming one sports fan hypothesis surrounding the Xenomorphs ’ origin .
In the filmAlien : Covenant , it is apparently confirm that the Synthetic , David , created the Xenomorph species through experimentation involve the Engineers ’ black slime and a man ’s reproductive system ( courtesy of the remains of David ’s former human partner , Shaw ) . However , it is n’t totally clear whetherDavid create the Xenomorphsor simply reverse - engineered the species to create his own song , so many fans prefer the latter explanation to keep the mystery story beleaguer the Xenomorph species animated – but that does n’t take away from the fact that David may have very well created the Xenomorphs , and one newAliencomic seems to reassert that he really did .

InAlien#3 by Phillip Kennedy Johnson and Julius Ohta , a team ofSynthetic spec - ops known as Steel Teamhave infiltrated a planet overrun by Xenomorphs and have line up themselves with its human subsister . When one of the homo savagely slay a Xenomorph in front of Steel Team , one of the Synthetics says , “ David wept ” in response . This comment was presumably a dramatic play on ‘ Jesus wept ’ with ‘ Jesus ’ swapped with ‘ David ’ since David potentially make the Xenomorphs – reach him their ‘ God ’ . It seems like the Synthetic who made this comment essentially confirmed that David created the Xenomorphs – but how would she know that ? Well , the answer could commute the dealership ’s lore constantly .
David Doomed the Nostromo, & Steel Team Knows It
A widely popular sports fan theory floating around theAlienfandom – one which was sparked from a deleted scene inAlien : Covenant – excuse that , after David took control of the Covenant ship , he contacted Weyland - Yutani and told the fellowship about the Xenomorphs he just created and collapse them the coordinate of a world ( LV-426 ) where they could be obtained . So , Weyland - Yutani responds by programmingthe villainous Synthetic , Ash , to find and fetch back a specimen at the disbursement of the transportation crew of the Nostromo . Obviously , there are many break in this theory that ask further explanation – include why an Engineer ship was overrun with Ovomorphs and why David was nowhere to be found when the Nostromo got to LV-426 – but the broad stroke timeline actually does make a lot of gumption . At least , it pretend more sense than the Space Jockey race ( Engineers ) contacting Weyland - Yutani before the events of the movie with this information ( which is what some extended - universe chronicle indicate in the past ) . Plus , if David did get in touch with the company , it would make sense that Steel Team would know all about it .
Before the events of this serial , Steel Team work for the United Systems Government , and the administration has long - viewed Weyland - Yutani as its greatest threat . Weyland - Yutani cornered the market on space traveling and terraforming , so much so that it could almost be considered a dictatorial government in and of itself . The United Systems image the company as a threat to its established governmental scheme , so Steel Team would absolutely have been privy to every one of Weyland - Yutani ’s sinister little secrets by order of their military - intelligence activity party boss , especially if it had something to do with Xenomorphs . So , if David did contactWeyland - Yutani about the Xenomorphshe created – which presumptively give them reasonableness to send the Nostromo to investigate – Steel Team would have known about it . This mean that this give - away telephone circuit about David seems to not only indicate that Steel Team knows David created the Xenomorphs ( because of the ‘ Jesus ’ reference ) , but that David was responsible for the Nostromo ’s contact with the Xenomorph inAlien – a possible verity that utterly changes the enfranchisement ’s lore with one sentence .
