YOU vs XENOMORPH - How Can You Defeat and Survive It (Alien Movie)

What if you came face to face with the xenomorph from the movies Alien? Could you defeat it?

Imagine you are happily cruising along space in your very own mining ship when suddenly you pick up a faint distress signal from far away. Checking your spaceship's digital atlas, you discover that the signal is coming from a colony on a planet called “LV-426”- hmm, where have you heard that name before? Landing on this distant moon you exit your spaceship hoping to rescue some desperate colonists- only to come face to face with the galaxy's most formidable predator. Hello and welcome to another special episode of The Infographics Show- today we're putting you up against the most perfect organism in the universe in, Could you defeat it? You vs a xenomorph.

Xenomorphs, or Aliens, are a parasitic species who's real origins are unclear. Some believe that Xenos were genetically engineered by an ancient space-faring civilization known as the Engineers, or Mala'kak. The Mala'kak may have used Xenomorphs to terraform planets by wiping out all large species and then starting fresh with their own genetically engineered creations, or they may simply have been a biological weapon meant to 'disinfect' experiments they think went wrong, or to use against their enemies. Others however believe that Xenomorphs evolved in a dark, distant corner of the galaxy and were discovered by the Engineers and other space-faring civilizations.

How would you defeat him? Who would you call to fight by your side?

[sasasa]

If I knew that xenomorphs existed I wouldn’t build every spaceship with massive vents big enough for a 7 foot monster.

I'm sure out of over 5, 000 comments someone had to mention this, but just in case... Alfred Nobel did not invent TNT (trinitrotoluen) but rather found a way of stabilizing nitroglycerin by using a material to absorb and hold it. This stabilized nitroglycerin is called dynamite.

Defeating a xenomorph? Sounds like a job for the Men in Black, not for me

[grandblitz]

Psh, everyone knows that a xenomorph’s greatest weakness is an open airlock. No grenades or launchers needed.

Do a Fortnite Dance in front of it, the electro receptors will pick up max cringe and kill it in 0.5 seconds

“I say we take off, nuke the site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.”

Infogarphics: “the xenomorph is the most formidable predator”

Predator: am I a joke to you?

[Dominus_Augustus]

Predamorphs (Xenomorph that impregnated a Predator) are an exception to the fire rule. In video games, at the very least, they've been shown to be nearly immune to fire, and can even survive while submerged in lava

[adrianm]

You just befriend a predator like in the movie. "The enemy of my enemy is my friend."

[asw-g-gundamflaurosryuse]

Or.... you can do what nature does when a predator becomes to powerful.

Introduce a better *predator*

[cryowave]

xenomorph: exists


russia: i see this as an absolute win

[georgebarrand-wood]

Just pull up some of the xenomorph’s homophobic comments from 2010

[NoMercy]

How to fight a Xenomorph? Fall back and nuke from orbit.

How to kill xenomorph:
1. Just use the damn Train Cj

Can't be the only one waited for this.

5:00 Spits acid at a door... *Door Opens*

Lmao because a civilian can definitely get their hands on a fully automatic grenade launcher turret

There is one thing you definitely got wrong here that bothers me slightly. The facehugger doesn’t deposit a larva, that’s just a commonly believed myth about the xenomorph. What it actually does is much more insidious, it injects RNA into the host body which infects its red blood cells and changes their “chemical orders”. The body’s RB cells then start to clump together, typically in the chest cavity, where they break themselves down and reconfigure their cellular structure.
This effectively creates a cancerous tumor that eventually grows into the chestburster.
This thusly means a few different things;
1. Each xenomorph is genetically related to its host, this allows them to take on some aspects of their host to better adapt to their environment, but also means that they are “technically” the children of their respective hosts. Which is just creepy.
2. The xenomorph is, biologically speaking, a macroscopic virus, rather than a bog standard parasite. All viruses are parasites, but not all parasites are viruses.
3. This is one that even some of the comics get wrong and it irks me, but because of how the xenomorph’s RNA messes with your own DNA, even if the xenomorph were surgically removed before bursting out of your chest, the genetic degradation it caused to your cells means you would still die eventually, just maybe a few weeks later than you otherwise would have.

And finally, here’s some bonus fun facts for you; Ash mentions in the first movie that the facehugger was feeding its host oxygen, which makes sense seeing as, in humans at least, the xenomorph RNA targets red blood cells specifically. As such, a human host would die from lack of oxygen in their blood stream without the facehugger’s help.
Additionally, the viral nature of the xenomorph is the reason that cloning Ripley was a viable method for acquiring a xenomorph queen in Alien: Resurrection. The infection was literally in her DNA when she died.
