  • In 1995, DC and Dark Horse Comics teamed together to create the crossover SUPERMAN/ALIENS. In calling back to previous Superman arcs such as "The Supergirl Saga" and "Superman in Exile," this new story found a unique challenge for the Man of Steel as he encountered the deadly Xenomorph species.

    I love that Superman's first instinct is to attempt to speak to and reason with a xenomorph even while it's covering him in acid and trying to bite his head off. edit: Xenomorphs are not stupid, and canonically they have a kind of psychic connection with each other. If Superman was at full strength and demonstrated that there is absolutely nothing the xenomorphs could do to harm him, I wonder if the xenomorphs would adapt by trying to negotiate with him. They're the ultimate survival machines; maybe the reason they've never negotiated or communicated with another species is because they've never _had_ to.

What if that Xeno manages to get away and into a vent shaft and somehow gets down to Earth? I still remember him and Batman giving Wonder Woman so much crap for killing Maxwell Lord when the alternative was to let him run wild with a mind controlled Superman taking over the world.

    Even Superman has to take a minute to consider if these monsters need to die.
    Sadly, the boy scout still tries his best not to kill any of them, despite what they would do.
    I sometimes think that his invulnerability makes him subconsciously forget how different some lifeforms are to him. Are the xenomorphs smart, logical, sentient? Maybe so. In fact, probably. But that just drives home the fact that the hive mind set wouldn't rest until nothing was left but the hive.
    Zod would never stop, Brainiac will never stop and Darkseid may never be stopped. It's a sad truth, but when a terrible force decides not to stop until everything is destroyed or conquered, even in defeat: then the choice must be made, before its made for them.
