Xenomorphs in the Marvel Universe - How fucked would everyone be?

Post by Crab_Spider » 15 Apr 2017, 19:33

So as we know; xenomorphs, specifically facehuggers, implant an embryo that uses the DNA of a host to surpress the immune system and prevent the embryo from being attacked by the host itself. But what if the host was one of our beloved? What if it was the most heinous monster of all time? What if the was the smartest man of all time?

That's all it took. Three mutant hosts alone in three separate rooms. Within 5 hours, they underwent seizures and began vomiting blood. As the seizures were occurring, bloodied serpent-like entities burst from their chest with the force of a jackhammer. I don't know what happened afterwards; we found the skin of the serpents, but no other traces of the serpents. Wolverine said not to worry about it, they probably died, but... Logan was never the one to pass off death so easily. — Professor Charles Xavier was one the three hosts to die. Why would he be so calm?

Soon, oh God. We found out what happened to the serpents, and it was too late. By the time we found their base of operation, we lost eight superpowered individuals, fourteen civilians, six S.H.I.E.L.D. agents and the Inhuman King, "Black Bolt".

Superhumans:
  • Douglas Ramsey; Cypher, X-Factor
  • Pietro Maximoff; Quicksilver, X-Factor, Brotherhood Of Evil Mutants
  • Erick Lehnsherr ; Magneto, Brotherhood Of Evil Mutants, X-Force, X-Factor, X-Men
  • James Howlett ; Wolverine, X-Men, Avengers, X-Force, X-Factor
  • Lucas Cage ; Luke Cage, Avengers
  • Spider-man, Avengers, New Avengers, X-Men
  • Jamie Madrox ; Multiple-Man, Brotherhood of Evil Mutants
  • Skaar Banner, Dark Avengers


They grew up. Fast... too fast! The first three worms had enough time to mature and grow, they were unnatural, but still, not outside the realm of possibility. We've dealt with and encountered Gods, creatures that can teleport and pull you into dimensions, a blind man that can see, and a man that can become a giant green monster and tank a nuke and Deadpool. Regardless, they were fast, agile, they were too stealthy. It was simply too late when it dawned upon Victor Von Doom and Reed Richards that they had to steal their hosts DNA to remain safe while inside them, otherwise, they would have been terminated by the anti-bodies. This meant the mutants would be supplying the larvae with their powers.

Laura Kinney and Frank Castle hunted them down to the ends of the Earth when we, the super powered community noticed more and more civilians being abducted. We knew the answer, but we couldn't spill the beans to the public, or else they'd become hysterical. My God were we stupid! We told them Kree were responsible and we're searching for spies! We fucked it up! We fucking screwed up!

Eventually, we found the bodies of thirty-nine civilians, all dead, skin turned a deep shade of a blackish-purple, their bodies mangled and contorted as though they were devoured, some had 5 inch gaping holes in their chest as though a small cannon ball were shot through them. How could we possibly cover this from the public?! But oh no, it got worse . How? Nightcrawler, Blink, Vanisher, Jonathan Blaze, Emma Frost, Cyclops, and to top it all off, Bobby Drake, went missing as well. They spread from Manhatten, New York to Texas, then to the South Border, then Mexico. It never took long at all. As they began spreading, we lost more and more superhumans and heroes. We took as many heros and villains, anyone with a useful talent, anyone with hyperintelligence, anyone with a super power, anyone we can use, and put them on the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier, but the monsters showed up... They were like fucking ants! Black, no eyes, a putrid smell, fast, powerful. Tubes stuck out from their back, some had spikes. In moments, they teleported onto the helicarrier and the slaughter began. It didn't matter who was stronger. It didn't matter who was able to outlast the other, in the end, everyone was either infected or torn apart. Those that survived managed to use Cloak's teleporting cloak to warp out of there...

He went brain dead after we got out of the shitstorm. Before Punisher could blow Cloak's brains out, one of the monsters, one that was cold as piss, reached in and grabbed him, it effortlessly tore his arm off. Punisher didn't bother trying to save himself, he knew the deal, and that involved shooting Cloak in the head and pushing himself and the Icefiend into the other side of the portal. But it doesn't matter if he survived. As of now, the Speedfiends are hunting us down.

The Mutants would be suppliers to the aliens, providing new anilities that allow them to adapt to combat. You may be asking, why'd you bring up Cypher, in fact, who is that?. Cypher is a mutant with the ability to understand all languages, this might sound useless, but remember what the antagonist is and what species Cypher is. Xenomorphs that inherit Luke Cage's power would be nigh-indestructible to physical harm, making scouting for humans an easier job and more suitable for that caste. Madrox would — arguably, be a godsend for the Hive, why? Think of what the Hive would require. Drones? Warriors? Praetorians? Multiple man can create clones of himself and he has the ability to pull them back into himself and retain any information the clone(s) gained. Telepaths themselves would effectively shut down any, if not all attempts to destroy the Hive by humans, and speedsters would scout for hosts. But what about Magneto? What would happen if he were infected? Imagine the ability to control gravity, after that, imagine the ability to trap 2 pieces of shrapnel together in a gravitational field, the ability to control the stability of uranium and thorium (the MOST radioactive element there is!), or even create a nuclear blast from a distance with the lift of a finger (Magneto never does this, but he can, in theory IIRC). Magneto is the strongest Alpha level mutant, and his control over magnetic fields and the other 3 fundamental forces, renders him a godsend. A xeno with the powers of Magneto, would be able to intercept radio communication, kill the person sending it. The spider-man xeno, would, arguably be, a Warrior, with the ability to shoot acidic webs from its body and the ability to detect what danger as it's coming, this caste would effective be dangerous, get it to become a Queen or Praetorian and there might be a need for a nuke. Skaar Banner is the son of Bruce Banner, the Incredible Hulk, you know where this is going.

I brought this up because, well, it's very fun to experiment with this kind of fiction. There might be inaccuracies here and there, and this really wouldn't happen (Thor alone would give these castes an asskicking). But I have a question, if xenomorphs did appear in the Marvel Universe, how fucked would they be?
You will never be as bad as the baldie who picked up a tactical shotgun while a hunter was pouncing on top of a CMO for 4 seconds, with his only response being to pace around before being decap'd by said hunter. You are not Brett Kimple, and you never will be. You are not the reason why I regular MP.

Not sure if the concept of the Brood was made before or after Alien (or Aliens).

Mutants with super strength would have the strength necessary to rip facehuggers off and tear through resin, but unless they're immune to acid, nobody's going to start punching holes through Xenos.

Honestly, if mutants/supers/etc were infected, we would be screwed. If it was isolated, obviously fight fire with fire, but success would be largely determined on what powers the Xenos have and how many. The Queen on her own is naturally telepathic, and the older she is, the more powerful her ability. Any attempt by telepaths to fight near the Queen would have their minds broken into itsy bitsy pieces.

If you know any psychic powerhouses that could beat a Queen, be my guest, but she's going to crush any psychics near her.

Anyways, super powered Xenos are scary, sure, but they need to manage to infect them first. Spidey, for example, has a danger sense to alert him to Xenos and unnatural strength that may be able to take off a hugger. Mutants like wolverine have regeneration and don't need to worry about injuring themselves in the process of killing a hugger, but if Wolverine was infected, he'd provide a limitless supply of mutant Xenos. You've then got, if we talk fantastic four, a guy who can turn his entire body to fire, the weakness of Xenos. No Xenos going to touch him.

Some powers, like invisibility, wouldn't work on Xenos, but would give them a huge advantage. And that's only the mutant side. S.H.I.E.L.D. is more than equipped to handle the xenomorph threat itself with their helicarrier, armoured vehicles, and more. Hell, want to make sure no mutants are infected? Have a flier hold someone with fireball powers high above the battlefield, and let death rain down. The only situation where we'd be screwed with no hope, is if the Xenos had time to spread and gain powers. If you contain them before that, you'll be fine and dandy.

Xenos would have a very tough time facing off against the super community since most of their powers alter the playing field drastically, more than likely SHIELD would lock down NY hard, and SWORD would begin studying the dead xenos with great efficiency. I can think of only a few supers that would die in a fight with more than 10 xenos (counting T3's as well) and even then, they would likely kill the super rather than trying to infect them.

More than likely Professor X and Jean Grey could mentally duke it out with an ancient Queen, but they would need to be protected while they do so as they would need a huge amount of focus.

Honestly I could see the NY sewers becoming a battleground where people like Iron Man, War-machine, Wolverine, Colossus, Cable, Deadpool, and Spiderman go in with heavy duty equipment and wipe out the nest in about an hour.

I kind of want to see a Savage Worlds game with xenos as the main antagonist now.

I could totally see Iron Man and Warmachine gunning through the Xenos. if the Xenos got hold of a regenerator, though, that'd be the end of it. Iron Man and War Machine are regular humans by DNA, so the Xenos get nothing in return for taking them down.

The combined forces of Professor X and Jean Grey could probably hold against an ancient Queen, but some of the older Queens have been known to cause mass hysteria on planets with regular people later on in the lore. Against someone who's sensitive to psychic force, the age of a Queen could mean the difference between a forced standstill, or becoming a member of the hivemind.

The problem is that they would need to subdue a super with regeneration, and considering those people are Deadpool and Wolverine... they would have their work cut out for them big time.

Nah, Prof and Jean could each take an ancient Queen solo, but only they could manage it, as anyone else would be turned into a blubbering mess. Proff for his skill, and Jean for her raw power/OP Phoenix-buffs .

Ironically DC would be a way easier place for xenos to take over, since most of the heroes don't even have any powers. Marvel doesn't have as many Superman-level characters, but most of their roster is super-powered in a significant way like Spiderman's level which is nothing to turn your nose at.
