This post contains a preview for Marvel’s Aliens vs Avengers #3
The world has been overrun in Marvel’s ongoingAliens vs Avengerscrossover, but one X-Men villain is still a big fan of xenomorphs. One of the most lethal creatures in science fiction, xenomorphs have long been seen as the apex predator’s apex predator, consuming all in their wake like an unstoppable plague. Naturally, there really is only one Marvel villain who’d look at a xenomorph and their brutal evolutionary cycle as something to be admired.
In Marvel’sAliens vs Avengersby Jonathan Hickman and Esad Ribić, pods of deadly xenomorphs were dropped onto the Marvel Universethanks to the rogue synthetic Davidwho seeks to extinguish all life across the multiverse. As such, Earth and its Avengers eventually had no choice but to evacuate the planet with as much of humanity as they could manage.Now, the new preview forAliens vs Avengers #3reveals the ongoing work of Mister Sinister, who naturally wants to embrace and study the xenomorphs even further:
Known for his own brutal experiments with mutation and his ongoing desire to accelerate the evolutionary process to its peak, it’s not all that surprising that Mister Sinister would find xenomorphs so fascinating in this new Marvel series.
Mister Sinister Is A Fan Of The Deadly Xenomorph Species
And No One Should Be Surprised
Initially rendered nearly speechless in the face of the xenomorphs' “perfection”,Mister Sinister confers with his fellow Sinister clones that the aliens truly are the embodiment of evolutionary perfection incarnate. According to Sinister, the true beauty of thexenomorph species is not that they’re simply the perfect universal extinction machine, but that they’re also a perfect container for their host’s genetic history. They both represent an inevitable future where nothing remains but xenomorphs, while also forever preserving the past they’ve consumed.
Captain America & The Hulk’s Final Stand Against The Xenomorph Horde is A Must-See For Any Avengers Fan
Aliens vs Avengers depicts the final stand of Captain America and The Hulk in the face of countless xenomorphs, a must-see for any Marvel fan.
This new preview also carries the dark implication that Sinister’s study of the xenomorphs has come at the cost of the rest of mutantkind living on Mars. Case in point, several mutants are shown hanging nearby with xenomorph facehuggers attached,including Colossus. Rather than fearing the xenomorphs, Sinister’s wish to further embrace and “revel” in their perfection suggests that he and his clones may willingly become hosts when the full issue releases from Marvel Comics.
Will Sinister Help The Avengers (Or Make Things Worse?)
Humanity’s On Its Last Legs…
Ultimately, this new preview suggests Sinister will disturbingly be on the side of the xenomorphs going forward. As such, no one should expect him to help the last of humanity that’s come to Mars (at least not willingly).Instead, perhaps Sinister’s study of the alien creatures could help the few remaining Avengers find a better means of fighting and ending the creatures for good, when and if the heroes manage to defeat Mister Sinister himself. Either way, it’s going to be fascinating to see how humanity survives in the face of such a deadly alien threat that’s come to the Marvel Universe.
