Warning ! This article contains spoilers for Alien # 4Despite the fact thatAlienis one of the most popular Sci - Fi franchises in story , there is one key detail within nearly every installment of the series that has frustrated fans to their core – but now , that ongoing criticism regarding theXenomorphshas been officially fixed ( and in the most shockingly horrific way possible ) .
When Xenomrphs were introduced in 1979’sAlien , fans were consume aback by the perturbing nature of the coinage – not just in term of its killing proficiency , but also its parasitic reproductive process . In the film , the crew of the Nostromo inquire a distress signal coming from an unsung world , and upon finding a derelict ship , a few members of the crew search the vessel on understructure . When they entered the ship , one crowd member , Kane , uncovers an entire chamber filled with large eggs , and he leans his mind over one as it was give up from the top , only fora Facehugger to jump outand tie itself to his nerve and infuse him with a Xenomorph conceptus . This fatal act of curiosity would n’t be the last of its variety in theAlienseries as a number of other space explorers / scientists would neglect to take the right precautions when investigating an alien life form ( as depict inAliens , Prometheus , andAlien : Covenant ) . However , with one sport / hybridization made to the Xenomorph species , this annoying trope may never require to materialise again .

InAlien#4 by Phillip Kennedy Johnson and Julius Ohta , a man-made spec - ops team know as Steel Team is on a delegation to evoke an Ovomorph from a major planet that has been overrun by Xenomrphs on behalf of humanity . While on this planet – called Tobler-9 – Steel Team discovers the remnants of allthe Xenomorph experiment that were being conductedwithin clandestine testing ground across the satellite – including one that hold back mutated mosquitoes merged with Xenomorph DNA . In the old issue , one of these ‘ Xeno - squitos ’ seize with teeth a human survivor of Tobler-9 , and in this government issue , fans learn what happens to those who are bitten by this unholy hybrid : they do n’t get impregnated with a Xenomorph , they become a Xenomorph .
Xenomorph Reproduction Eliminates Reliance on the Stupidity of Hosts
From the firstAlienmovie to the number of sequels and prequels ( not to mention the comic volume and novel continuations ) , people consistently getinfected with a Xenomorphby not taking the proper precautions around a mysterious alien object / lifespan form , and that has become a huge charge from fans of the series . Xenomorphs are considered the perfect being , yet they rely on convenient madness from humans so as to spread . However , with this ‘ Xeno - squito ’ , Xenomorphs can infect a great number of people without them even knowing it as the Xenomorphs are broadcast by way of a covert insect pungency rather than blatant betise .
Not only are the ‘ Xeno - squitos ’ a much more skillful way for Xenomorphs to procreate that does n’t bank on humans disregard any and all safety protocols when encountering the strange , but it ’s also infinitely more terrifying . While Facehuggers are creepy-crawly , it seems as though one really just needs to not get close to an Ovomorph and the Facehuggers will never emerge in the first berth . With the hybrid mosquito , however , it would be much harder to avoid infection – proving thatAlienhas officially set its enceinte complaint while also givingXenomorphsa massive ( and terrifying ) upgrade .
