The Man of Steel Meets the Xenomorph: Superman/Aliens - Explained
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 сен 2024
- 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.

Superman trying to reason with a xenomorph is hilarious and so within character.
It’s actually really annoying and unrealistic even for him....
@@bizzzzzzle i mean not really, he doesn't like violence and he'd definitely try to talk things out first most of the time. Might be wrong but when he first met doomsday I'm relatively sure I remember him trying to reason some
@@bizzzzzzle yeah superman should snap guys necks and scream. he’s a cold blooded killer.
Superman in a mullet is hilarious.
@@bizzzzzzle an alien meeting another alien in a comicbook is unrealistic? You don't say...
Superman getting xeno blood in his eyes, must be somewhat equivalent to us rubbing our eyes with ghost pepper.
So Clark would be like "shit fuck ow ow ow shit fuck fuck shit ow ow ow!"
@@JnEricsonx prettymuch..but only 0-20 % of power..
not really, he's taken bullets to the eye, but no effect
@@jdsim9173 Well, in the comic he was somewhat weakened solar wise.
@@JnEricsonx that i didn't know, that explains a lot
It's actually kind of interesting, seeing how someone with absolutely no experience in being afraid of physical threats reacts to the presence of a xenomorph.
True, but I’d like to think that after Superman has been around other human heroes like Batman, the Robins, Green Arrow, etc. for years, he would have picked up some hand-to-hand combat skills and combat sense lol.
@@SSJFutureGohan62093 Superman is still faster... period.. would be able to see everything coming.. end of comic.. lol
@@ARandomPersonAgain Xenomorphes are much faster and stronger than mere humans...and Supes was already weakening from not being around a yellow sun...that includes his super-speed.
@@alexdhamp Ahh I see. Thank you
So true
His underwear is the most powerful thing in the whole universe, never ripped off, never had a single tear!
The most powerful thing in multiple universes: Superman's modesty.
🤣
Reminds me of Diablo II Chests...
The super-xenomorph snuck into the Nostromo by wearing a pair of glasses
Just need to shoot it with a kryptonite lead
🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
No, I'm thinking metal gear solid style with a box
😂
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.
They would probably try to find a way to impregnate him...as they know his DNA would strengthen their hive. Well, maybe not "know", but instinctually they would be compelled to make their hive stronger with his DNA.
The queens are smart. The drones are dog-level IQ unless being coordinated by a queen.
And Superman is an idiot boy scout.
There are actually a representation of a fully infested perverted psyche. Symbiotic in fact. Survival does not involve violence it involves combat in all it's diplomacy.
Right
@@alexdhamp assuming Kal El is DNA based life, and not, actually, a Pure Energy Life Form. Kal El, is a Hebrew/Jewish name. It simple means, Kal, Son of God. The creators of 'Superman' where both from Orthodox Jewish Families, And I spotted the orthodox Jewish and Hebrew influences in the Superman Character and story back in 2007, while doing some research on another topic. Well, on another Cryptid...or, 'Kryptid'. The Mothman, along with that cryptids tenuous links to WED. (Walter Elias Disney)(another 'good guy' who has some very dark closets in is 'house').
Quite possibly the worst species to encounter while struggling with a personal morality crisis of taking a life. Ripley would break her hand to slap the shit out of Superman.
🤣🤣🤣
Yeah its really dumb, kara should have literally just said that those things are literally not even conventionally alive . Much less sentient.
@@maxwellvindman7212 worse she said they impregnate HUMANS. If she never heard of earth then how the hell has she heard of humans.
Supes had no problem killing Doomsday clones. But somehow he had a problem killing a mindless biological nightmare.
LOL aside, I thought it was a neat touch, having Superman go through this morality arc, and not just "Boom Pow kill some Aliens". Added more depth to the story.
The hyper-agile, born to hunt and devour xenomorph, moves closer and stops in the presence of Lois Lane, utterly confounded by her God-like plot armor. I still own these comics, and that section is still ridiculous to this day. Great job bringing the arc to life with your storytelling!
It's her metagene. Situational convenience. Ps. It's not the first time the Xenos have stopped for dramatic purposes. It usually just ends badly.
I remember, in the 90s, my dad calling me into the hall and just holding up the cover art of the chest-burster through the Superman symbol. I just kinda stood there with my eyes open and silent for a few seconds. I'd mostly read Batman and Catwomen comics but holy cow was I suddenly needing to read some Superman.
The graphic novel version is the book that my dad got at Christmas time just before he died. After he died the book disappeared, I was glad to see this site's version of it. This version took me back. I wish he were here to see this site's version.
Glad you got that fond memory, Brother.
Where did the book disappear to.
The Pocket Dimension.🤯
I am sorry for your loss.
Batman vs Predator!!
@@vanillagorilla6091 Yeah, he had that one too.
Sent xenomorphs to Earth without thinking. Ripley would have lost her sh*t.
Never send a superman to do a batman's job.
Too right. Brucey would've done his due diligence ;)
And also, Superman refusing to shoot the insanely hostile and dangerous life form, that does nothing but kill everything it encounters, because his alignment is Lawful-Stupid
@@weldonwin This is actually the thing that has always bothered me with Supes, just his ridiculous adherence to this moral high ground of his. 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. I suppose this is what made his turn in Injustice so extreme, after trying to adhere to this code of his for so long and finally snapping.
@@TeKnoVKNG23 Hell, we have an example right here, with him refusing to use the gun, to kill Xenomorphs, trying so hard to just knock them out or chase them off and as a result, Kara almost dies and ALL the other Argo survivors are slaughtered.
@@TeKnoVKNG23 Yes, he gave them so much crap when those two gave him so much crap for doing...nothing wrong
Also Injustice is a different continuity with a different Superman
My issue with this story is superman doesnt lose his powers that fast. Hes fought away from earth many times and for the most part he maintains most of his power and hes fighting Darksied and other powerful beings. Superman would had tohave been fighting the xenomorphs for weeks before it would start effecting his power level.
Exactly.Furthermore, the alien inside him would already be born with his powers ...
What if...
My Hero Academia vs Aliens
@@christopherstrickland1363 which characters? Todoroki could probably freeze a 1000 xenomorph at once.
Class 1A
It was established they we far from a sun, the farther from the sun the quicker his powers drain. Regardless, it was nessicary for the plot, if superman was at 100% this story would be 5 pages.
Personally, I’m still waiting for Winnie the Pooh versus alien but that’s just me.
anien burst from poohs chest
pooh" oh bother
omg
Pooh will f them up, especially if they mess with his honey.
Roo: I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
Tigger: Woo Hoo Hoo HOOO!
Pooh's going to feed on the slime shit and go Super Sayan. The end.
Ah! The 90's. When every comic book had to have a character with a mullet. Even Superman.
I grew up in the 90's reading Superman comics and there was a short time when I was a child that I thought the mullet/ponytail was cool and would draw my own heroes with said mullet/ponytail. My friends said they looked stupid and I disagreed. I see now that they were right.
I'm 36 said I'd never have a mullet.....it's 2021 and I now have a mullet.
@@RetailFox 90s did the mullet right, the mullet was unjustly maligned starting in the late 90s but has been recovering slowly, I mostly see Latinos unironically bringing back the look.
The only one I could never warm up to is the trailerpark joe dirt style.
Who remembers the superman with long hair he was awesome
Wow, just...wow. This is a crossover written by someone who understood both Superman and Alien, and did them both justice. Was expecting more of an alien rampage aboard the Lexcorp space station, but I won't complain since pretty much everything else in the franchise does just that.
What if...
Wonder Woman vs Aliens
The writers made Superman way too weak for the short time Superman did not have a sun.
@Omniversal Superhero I think that would be better. 🤔 I mean the red sun thing kinda kills it! Hell just trap Alien until Supes gets to a solar system with a yellow sun. Case close! Regular humans trapped it before! Wonder Woman would be a fight.
@Alan Pior True. Many years ago, Superman traveled into space after finding out he became Gangbuster during his sleep. He became weak only after many months without the sun.
Yet, looking at the old Alien movies Superman would still have easily defeat them.
Older comics were so freakin much better than today’s usual garbage. This is amazing
I remember reading some of these. Seeing Clark literally puke out the pieces of a chestburster was a hell of a thing.
would've loved to see the inside visual of that!! like a chestburster thinking it has the upper hand by almost breaking thru, when suddenly his insides get stronger and more impenetrable, eventually crushing and mashing the thing to pulp! I guess, technically, he violated his own oath as THAT was the last thing he killed!!😉
Good thing, that. Based of what we've seen of the Xenomorphs since, that one would have had Kryptonian powers.
Oh, mate. You really outdid yourself with this one! Not only your usual high quality adaptation but a look at other parts of DC continuity? I'm a huuuuge DC reader, honestly to me this is the best thing ever! Cheers!
What if... Power Rangers vs Aliens crossover
Never underestimate a xenomorph who has any of the infinity stones
Hahaha, it'd unconsciously turn Reality into a Murderverse.
Can't wait to watch this. I remember thinking Superman/Aliens looked really dumb to me as a kid in the comic book store, but my fandom eventually caused me to buy it and I actually love the story.
What if...
Power Rangers vs Aliens crossover
I need an ALF/Alien crossover... ALF goes to return to his home planet of Melmac and all the inhabitants are dead, cocooned, or in hiding and their main sustenance, the cat, has gone extinct..
But there are plenty of Xenomorph cats around, and Alf eats a Xenomorph kitten out of desperation only to find that its blood gives his kind superpowers instead of melting them.
Cats don't go extinct from xenomorphs.
Jones is really the only survivor of the xenomorph movies.
Cats' only quarrel with xenomorphs is that the xeno's kill their pet humans.
It's so cute that superman still tries the diplomatic way, even with a xenomorph.
AU version
Pregnant Supergirl vs Aliens
(No pornography intended)
I love Superman in this I absolutely love his character He sticks to his guns no matter what despite of how hopeless something looks he never gives up and that's always something Mike Meyer in a hero
Well now you have to do the ultimate classic Batman vs Predator!!!
I've followed the exploits of The Man of Steel since the 1950s. This tale of Superman Vs The Xenomorphs was one of the best-ever. Thanks! Joe Shuster (RIP) Jerry Siegel (RIP) George Reeves (RIP) Christopher Reeve (RIP) Dana Reeve (RIP) All of the aforementioned live on in our hearts. -- W from Cleveland, OH
What if...
Wonder Woman/Aliens crossover comic?
@@christopherstrickland1363 -- That's an intriguing prospect. Thanks!
My pitch
Wonder Woman travels to an ancient temple to investigate the mysterious disappearance of a team of archaeologists, and, unfortunately, discovers what really happened to them. Now Wonder Woman must prevent the swarm of Xenomorphs from spreading across the planet
For anyone here who has HBO Max, a reminder that all 4 original Alien films, both AvP films, and Prometheus are on the service, with the extended cuts of the original 4 and the AvP unrated cuts available as extras.
just pirate it bro
@@EstParum just say you’re broke
I already own them, thanks for the tip though
I try to forget Resurrection exists.
They're on Disney+ as well. They only have the theatrical cuts though.
Really nice of the alien to wait for Lois' turn to end before going over to the ship
Legit dude you are better then some of the narrators on audible 🤙🏽 appreciate the content
xenomorphs take adaptations from their hosts, do they have “solar cell superpowers” like Superman? In which case, would launching one of them into the sun make them as strong as Superman?
Yeah I guess
Crossover idea
Archie Sonic/Aliens
Great reading "Alien Theory" dude! You made it sound really creepy, especially with the music. I remember reading this comic book in the bookstore a long time ago. I always thought that it was cool to see Superman fighting against the soldier aliens and using use dwindling powers. This made his limitations more interesting when fighting the monsters.
I think I also remember reading this comic in a Border’s Books when I was a young teenager...I read it once then, and now this comic is feeling familiar...😁
The idea of a Xenomorph with superman DNA terrifies me.
1:12:53 My sleep-deprived brain: Sir! They've gone up the ventilation shaft!
@Trixzonu i believe he did
“Master. Droidicas!” “It’s a stand off, let’s go.”
0:10 Bishop looks like Steve Buscemi.
We gonna ignore the fact that Supes never went to check if Kara had somehow survived, or at least tried to track down her body?
Kara who?
who that?
@@xcidgaf his older cousin
Very slim chance of her surviving a thermonuclear blast at point blank range. Easy to relate to him thinking the search was futile
Just put some mayo on it, she'll be fine
Marvel already had The "Brood". They were a functional Alien type species that primarily menaced the X-men.
Yeah i believe they're involved in the current zombies version to. Did the xenomorphs have a hive mind though
Yeah I remember kitty's little Dragon roasting some brood
Ok? How many times did Marvel copy DC? Lol
I would love to see an Alien vs Venom story. Just think what would happen if a peice of symbiite would get on a xenomorph. That would look so damm cool. I hope marvel does it.
No more symbiotes that's played out.
I LIKE it. 🤣 🐊
I feel like the blood would make them immune to being venomed
@@lizardjoe4224 maybe....but still would love to see what it would end up looking like....or on a Queen.....a Hybrid race can start. I just think with the right artist and story it would be really cool.
@@pauleckert4321 I think it be cool if somehow a facehugger could infect someone who has a symbiote making a human xeno mixed with the venom human
They forgot my boi Clark on that island. Feels bad man
Imagine a xenomorph born from a Kryptonian, a xeno with all superman powers... Sick!!!
So would it have heat vision if it does’t have any visible eyes? If they just came out of its face it would look pretty weird.
@@whocares8014 who pissed in your cereal lol. That sounds badass. Just an unstoppable Xenomorph with even crazier strength and speed. Yes please
@Infinite Revery as a short story sure! Why not
Yeah or even have a new Superman villain
@Infinite Revery well they that Krypton is like earth where the natives don’t have powers
what a fucking story. wasn't over the top or corny at all, fell right in line with a mainstream comic. I'm thoroughly impressed, still had me biting my nails even while knowing that superman is gonna survive.
When I normally see a video over an hour long from any RUclips account that I subscribe to, I normally can't watch it. Time constraints, a 3 year old, etc. But YOU ARE ALWAYS THE EXCEPTION. Well done.
I've started to take a liking to these virtual comic books.. I never thought there was so many variants and cross-overs, this is fascinating
For me, most Alien-related content by itself ranges from 3/5 to 4/5 stars. Everything read by Alien Theory somehow elevates it to 5/5. I just enjoy it more. This video makes me think that all horror/action+horror narration is just AT's gift. I hope for more in the near future!
I loved all the crossovers, Batman, Superman, Dredd, Terminator, Predator, AvPvT.
Lobo would use a Queen skull as a handlebar ornament, if he didn't just keep a drone like Dawg.
Why is there not an animated movie about Supes killing Zod and others in the pocket universe? Never knew that story. Really cool.
Pretty sure it got retconned. Could be wrong.
@@memesarekeem It basically was in "Legion Of Super-Heroes". Eventually, The Time Trapper was deleted from history and due to that every thing he did was also deleted...including creating the Pocket Universe.
That story was still in continuity at the time of the crossover.
Killing the alternate version of Zod's group (who wipeout out all life on Earth) made Superman paranoid ,insane and he left Earth for a time.
But the "no kill policy" was not only dumb but inconsistent ,Jurgens who wrote the Aliens crossover made Superman kill Doomsday and tried to kill the Superciborgue a couple of years before.
@@carlosaugustodinizgarcia3526 Doomsday cannot die in fact and Superciborgue Clark know that will survive in some way.
"Do you get paid by the word for optimism?"
Lol, never heard a better description, in one
sentence, of supermans persona.
I had the Batman vs Aliens and Batman vs Predator comics when I was a kid. I remember them being fun stories. Never knew about this Superman vs Aliens comic! Keep up the good work Alien Theory, love everything you do!
What if these comics were merged together?
1: Superman/Aliens
2: Aliens/Vampirella
Result
Superman/Aliens/Vampirella
A xenomorph on earth will be caught by surprise by Rambo, Rambo will open its second jaw put a Rambo egg inside the xenomorph and in time it will pop up from the xenomorph chest in the form of...Chuck Norris! As you asked for it a friend of mine drew it: ruclips.net/video/75jZopGp92c/видео.html
Id read that comic
I'd spend money on that...
Lol!...or it would birth Arnold Schwarzenegger from Commando
I'd buy that for a dollar😂

Insomnia squad checking in. 1:31 am UK time 🇬🇧
@Stone Cold Steve Awesome the struggle is real brother
hahahaha same
good news insomniacs, it's only 3 sleeps 'till christmas!
Lol yep
Do we all have to suffer mental illness to be a insomniac or do normal people as well??
Superman sure seems comfortable with letting other people do the killing for him
This was such a good story, I wish they still did more of these cross over stories. Artwork was amazing, thanks for the video, excellent job.
The only trouble with marvel comics getting access to the aliens xenomorph franchise is well Marvel comics itself.
Yes i can imagine the feminist alien queen who refuses to lay eggs......
@@theMPrints that's some funny shit right there.
More like their parent company, headed by Mickey Mao and his far-left cronies
@@theMPrints ahahahahaha
I was figuring a way to say that, but that's perfect. I don't know this Marvel. I think it's...insane.
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)
Yeah I was thinking when he said that that superman is basically a god. 20% of a god is going to be a pretty rough fight
Imagine him getting wounded by a xenomorph's claw, but not being damaged at all when tons of rocks fall on him. The power levels are very inconsistent in the comic
What if...
He-Man vs Aliens
What if...
Godzilla/Aliens crossover?
In the Superman continuity 20% of a 100% Superman is still a Superman! Limitless power and now 20%, the writers have to bring Superman down. I mean down!
Everyone in the comments asking why he tried talking to something that looks like this.
In their natural form, the different types of DC Martians look shockingly similar to the xenomorphs, so it's perfectly logical to try and reason with a similar looking species.
I still have this. I think I have a Batman vs Aliens somewhere too. I have a good stack of Comics, most from the late 80s & early 90s. But some from the 70s too that were my Dads. I have the original Turok Son of Stone
Turok
I wonder what became of this version of Kara? The story here was very good and compelling.
Uh...She exploded, dude :(
@@starfishhugger6232 No…rewatch the end. She survived.
@@TheDude1764 I wonder where she ended up after its all said and done
In the last panel it is revealed the she survived.
The writer planned to use her in the main continuity as a revamp version of Supergirl (wihtout the Kryptonian past) but DC editors blocked him.
I remember getting this one when I was a kid and first got hooked on the Alien and Predator franchise. Use to watch the artwork religiously and admiring it. Lost it while moving one time, sadly...
Phenomenal work bro. I read this in 1995 knowing both the bright optimistic world of Superman and the dark deathly world of the Alien series. What you created was a movie fully complete with music and sound design. Great work. :)
If I remember correctly, there was also a Alien/DC one shot both featuring Batman and Superman!
Judge dredd also had an encounter with the xenomorphs
Batman and Superman versus Alien and Predator I believe. They weren't fantastic but they also weren't terrible.
Xenomorph alligator in the Batman one. Was aight
@@ABobRoss Wouldn't it be Tyranid considering the mutual origins...
There have been Alien crossovers with just about everything. I remember there was a comic called Stormwatch, which had a event comic where the Xenomorphs wiped out an entire major Super Team
22:25 Oh, come on! Superman's such a wholesome boy scout that not even a xenomorph could make him say "hell!"
That was sooooooooooooooooooo good! I hope you read part 2 and all the others! This was amazing thank you.
I agree that was so cool
Even reading the female parts, his narration is legit and keeps my attention. Great voice for this type of content. Kudos.
Que me screaming at Superman to "Just kill the damn BUG!" through the story.
But I completely understand, this story was pretty cool
Never knew there were channels on RUclips where comics are read and shown. Absolutely love this! Great speaking voice my guy.
Same, I just found this tonight and can already tell the right narrator is important. I think AT does a terrific job.
Hard to believe that there’s only a few more days now until the new comic series arrives. I must admit I’m excited!
Alien theory has a voice for audio books. Think he would be great at it.
I loved this series back in the day. It annoyed me though how Superman was so against killing these clearly parasitic Alien species that are destroying lifes/planets. I get it goes against his morals and stuff but jeez dude you'll let countless people fall to bugs just for that😅
Batman has this same problem. How many people died at the hands of Joker because Batman wouldn't kill him?
It especially doesn’t make sense when you consider that he’s killed Parademons without thinking twice about it.
You make the assumption Batman and Superman are moral characters. I think they are immoral or just incredibly stupid and unable to see the big picture
@@JackMoore0311 Then you fundamentally misunderstand the idea and point of the characters.
@@stanstanstan2597 no i totally understand the INTENT of the characters but intention does not always net moral results.
Since the xenomorphs pick up some of the hosts' genetics, I was fully expecting xenomorphs with kryptonian powers under earth's yellow sun. ;)
Got to admit it was better than I thought it would be.
SO, SUPERMAN. YOU KNEW YOU WERE GOING TO TAKE A JOURNEY ACROSS THE GALAXY AND DIDN'T BRING A SOLAR SUIT. THIS IS WHY BATMAN. LEGIT ALWAYS WINS.
Supes was always thick. All brawn, no brain.
Also.... allergic to rocks.
Batman FTW
Kimball: "They shouldn't be much of a threat..."
Famous last words.
Xenomorphs take the DNA of the host , the birth of Super Alien
I remember this comic series as a kid. It was so bizarre. Eventually had Batman Vs Predator and like a total crossover with all of them.
There is an Aliens vs Predator vs Terminator too
Can't believe the xenomorph hurt superman that much at 20% of his power, xenomorphs are underrated
I have no life. Thank you you for helping with that lol
This was actually pretty awesome. I was expecting it to be bad for some reason.
Thanks for the story. That was a blast. Snyder’s justice league was very enjoyable. Hope you tell us another Superman vs. Alien story. Your presentation is A+. Thank you Alien Theory.
My 15 year self from 95 is thrilled to have enjoyed this story today while at work, thank you for that!
You sir, are an outstanding storyteller.
Plot twist: the chestburster Superman coughed up? It didn't die. Being spawned from a Kryptonian, the new Queen was also able to absorb the Sun's power. She rapidly grew, developing super strength and speed, x-ray and laser-vision, and worst of all: the ability to fly, even through hard vacuum. The queen still could not match Superman's power, but eventually her new brood of Kryptomorphs would. With that, she turned her hungry eyeless gaze towards Earth...
Dan Jurgens AND Chuck Dixon wrote this?! I have to get this book. Chuck Dixon is my favorite comic writer of all time, for his work on Detective Comics, Nightwing, and Robin.
Also... I’d love to see/hear you do videos about comics. Your explanations of the 80s-90s Superman comics was fantastic. You have the voice and talent for it!
I don't usually do superhero stories but I really liked that 👍
Excellent narration too 🙂
I remember reading this off the shelf. It was one of my favorites. The storyline came back to me many times over the years.
Today I learned that all the comic book fans who were upset with Man of Steel because it wasn't true to their ideal comic book version of Superman had no idea that Superman killed Zod in the comics.
Exactly.
As a true comicbook fan, I honestly love Man Of Steel because of The Superman I always wanted since I was a kid.
Guess I am the only Comicbook fan who doesn't like Chris Reeve or George Reeves
@@kartikadewi3270 I liked Chris, I like Henry more. I'm 51 and have been a Superman fan from way back
Most probably don't know that Dark Seid tried using Xenomorphs as a weapon....
The ideal and proper superman doesn't kill. His his moral code. In whatever happened to the man of tommorow superman accidentally kills mr mxy and because of this he goes into a gold krytonite cell. When Lois asks him why he did it he said that someone who calls themselves superman should never kill. That's how superman should be. In what's so funny about truth, justice and the American way or superman Vs the elite superman says that he isn't judge jury and executioner, no hero is or should be. This is how superman thinks and some writers won't get that so you do get fuck ups here and there.
Just found your channel yesterday and now I'm a subbed binge watching this wonderful world you got going on here!!! Thanks for sharing!!!!
Spoilers:
The murdering of the 3 kryptonians led to superman having a mental breakdown that led to him developing D.I.D(dissociative identity disorder). His alter was that of a vigilante named Gangbuster who laid heavy hands on criminals he was attacking. When he came to realize what he had been doing during his blackouts he decided to leave earth. He left because he considers himself a danger to the populace.
This was just me filling in the missing story arc that lead to him leaving earth. Now to continue listening the always awesome narration.
One of my all time favourite series. The art style is fantastic. This was during a time I was deeply entrenched in the Dark Horse Aliens comics.
This is one of the best crossover stories I've ever read, and does both franchises perfect justice.
It also helps that I grew up with both. Alien was my first horror movie (when I was 7, no less, spying from the stairs when I couldn't sleep, and my parents were watching it.) and the first three Reeves Superman movies were a staple of our VHS library, and watched often.
This comic is fantastic.
Also Superman vs the Terminator! That was really good to! Cyborg Superman and Skynet take on Superman, and he gets help from Steel, Supergirl and Superboy... With a time travel to the future......
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.
Superman try compasion to life form composed of 150% "I will Kill You"
haha damn superman definitely needed to be weakened for that one. Can you imagine if superman had full powers? no xeno hive could stop him. Would be cool to to see not a team-up but like a meet-up of heros and a hive, kinda like this but with a bigger hive and a bigger team. Thanks for the video man, glad you made this.
“Luckily, I still have 15 and 2/4 of my powers”
I LOVED the Batman vs predator comic ! You're VERY good at this. You should try to do a channel/playlist ala comicstorian ! You have a unique take to the "audio comic".
I would love to see this as a movie 🙏🏾
Me, too! I'm not a big Henry Cavil fan, but he'd be great for this. A Superman Cosmic horror movie.
The aliens being genetically engineered by Kryptonians actually makes huge sense
"Kal felt a deep sympathy for his companion and all that she has been through while looking like an 80's softcore idol in his superman super underwear, and with his superman super chest hair fluttering in the wind
Gotta love that art style man xD
Henry Cavill sort of gave up Superman but he is VERY willing to come back.
I dont know/think Batfleck will come back. I wish he would return but he let the haters chase him off. I liked his Batman. And Snyder cut is badassed!
Superman is the only man who would bother trying to talk to a xeno while its trying to eat him xD
So wait, does this story take place in the main timeline or is it an elseworld story? I’d be every shocked to learn of kara being introduced in this story as fascinating as it is.
I can just imagine if Superman was attacked by a face hugger the chestburster would either become unstoppable because of the Kryptonian DNA, or it would just be trapped inside of his body because it would have no way to break out due to Superman’s impenetrable hide.
Xenomorphs tend to absorb and adapt to their host body would be able to break out of him due to absorbing his DNA
Pooped out
I like how some show kindness to the scariest alien species out there in space
yeah. The kryptonians lmao.
