Marvel Heroes Battle Xenomorphs on Epic "Avengers vs. Aliens" Covers.

Xenomorphs Arriving For The Marvel Universe in Avengers Against Aliens

Marvel's release of this new Avengers versus. Aliens limited series following the popularity of their solo Aliens comics and the recent favorable review for the Predator vs. Wolverine crossover is not surprising. The four-issue limited series will center "a new Marvel timeline" with "pits older, grittier versions" of the Avengers against an invading Xenomorph army. It will be interesting to see if the Avengers fight the monsters in space, or on their home planet as the dreadful Xenomorphs have never made it to Earth in the great legacy of the Alien saga.

Seeing the Xenomorphs up against some of our Earth-616 heroes in the magnificent covers released as part of Marvel vs. Aliens is a blast, given Avengers vs. Aliens takes place in an other timeline. With superhuman strength, flexibility, sharp claws and teeth, and acid spit that dissolves practically any substance, the Xenomorphs are immensely strong and intelligent. Although Spider-Man and Moon Knight could surely fight a Xenomorph one-on-one, it could be difficult for the heroes—especially Moon Knight—to fight a swarm. With her almost perfect form, She-Hulk could easily go head-to-head with a team of Xenomorphs; Deadpool's incredible healing factor would be ideal for an alien confrontation.

From Galactus to Thanos, to the parasitic Brood inspired by the Xenomorph from Alien, the Marvel Universe is rife with all sorts of horrible creatures. "How would Marvel heroes handle real Xenomorphs?" the next Avengers vs. Aliens limited series queries, and the series of magnificent and terrible new Marvel/Alien Crossover covers responds.

Three years later five additional Marvel vs. monsters covers have surfaced, all the way back in 2021 Marvel published a series of horrific variant covers portraying Marvel heroes confronting the horrible Xenomorph monsters, to excite fans for the upcoming Avengers vs. Aliens series. With the Marvel vs. Xenomorphs artwork rendered by the gifted Tony Daniel, Erica D'Urso, Greg Land, Joshua Cassara, and Stephen Segovia, the covers published by Marvel feature Spider-Man, Phoenix, Deadpool, She-Hulk, and Moon Knight in savage clashes against the acid-spitting aliens.

Alien's past

Director Ridley Scott's science fiction horror-thriller Alien follows the crew of a spacecraft called the Nostromo. Following the staff of the merchant's vessel detects an unidentified broadcast as a distress call, its landing on the source moon discovers one of the crew members attacked by an unidentified lifeform, and they quickly determine that its life cycle has just started.

Within its category, this movie was revolutionary. Combining horror with science fiction, this film has delighted generations of cinema buffs. With a cast starring Sigourney Weaver, Tom Skerritt, and John Hurt, the movie was hailed for its innovative sound design and visual effects. Still among the best horror movies made are this ones.

Phoenix and Captain Marvel had fought xenomorphs before

Xenomorph aliens, in the form of parasitic insectoid creatures known as the Brood, already abound in the Marvel Universe. Only three years after Alien debuted in theatres, X-Men Comics in 1982 plainly influence the legendary movie monsters that have been employed as main Marvel villains ever. Specifically, Captain Marvel and the X-Men have a lot of horrible, personal encounters with the aliens, hence Carol might be rather useful to the Avengers in Avengers vs. Aliens. Given Jean Grey recently recovering her cosmic Phoenix abilities, it also seems sense that the adored hero may sweep the floor with an army of Xenomorphs.

Coming for the Marvel Universe are the Xenomorphs; should the Alien creatures go unchecked, they might destroy Earth. Should Avengers against Aliens become a hit, there should ideally be additional Crossover shows whereby the heroes from these great covers fight the Xenomorphs on the page.
