    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.

He jeopardized the entire planet of Earth, even his refusal at the end to kill a Xeno after seeing how much suffering they could cause was just stupid. 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.

    If this is a post doomsday Superman, and he really is 20% strength during this, then despite the people of Argos not being kryptonian, these Xenomorphs must be extremely powerful, far more powerful than a normal xenomorph (as I'm assuming a majority of the xenomorphs encountered are birthed from Argonians, which is weird to say considering Argonians of elder scrolls)
