The Man of Steel Meets the Xenomorph: Superman/Aliens - Explained

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.

[@NoJusticeNoPeace]

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.

[@alexdhamp]

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.

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😅

[@johnnypatterson7512]

Batman has this same problem. How many people died at the hands of Joker because Batman wouldn't kill him?

[@alexdurain3753]

It especially doesn’t make sense when you consider that he’s killed Parademons without thinking twice about it.

[@JackMoore0311]

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

[@stanstanstan2597]

@@JackMoore0311 Then you fundamentally misunderstand the idea and point of the characters.

[@JackMoore0311]

@@stanstanstan2597 no i totally understand the INTENT of the characters but intention does not always net moral results.

Better then any audible I have ever heard. Well done. Snyder cut was AMAZING.

[@jacobfoster9185]

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".

[@SSJFutureGohan62093]

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!

[@OneAsteriskRunning]

You sir, are an outstanding storyteller.

[@powysdewhurst]

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. :)

[@davidmace3310]

Alien theory has a voice for audio books. Think he would be great at it.

[@JacobHG1234]

I have no life. Thank you you for helping with that lol

[@GreaterGrievobeast55]

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.

[@mikaelcrews7232]

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......

[@edstringer1138]

Xenomorphs take the DNA of the host , the birth of Super Alien

[@johnnypatterson7512]

I could just imagine Superman ripping the face hugger off his face with no problem and the acid doing nothing.

[@JFire1785]

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.

[@texan-american200]

I remember one comic where he swore to himself that he wouldn't kill any living beings, including xenomorphs. I think that he was saving one female colonial marine in one planet or another. As he was fighting his way through the broods, he kept his words as a mantra until he had no more choice but to kill his way out.

I've just discovered this Vlog, and have yet to view it, but right off the bat I know it will be good... my popcorn is ready!

[@TheOptinater]

Thanks for the upload, I have the batman vs aliens and now I have to find this. You just sold a book lol

[@SchazmenRassir]

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.

[@aziris7257]

Oh yes, I recall reading this back in school. There was a dude who got the whole book. It was very enjoyable.

[@DrownedInExile]

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...

[@mrrictus]

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.

[@scrappydoo7887]

I don't usually do superhero stories but I really liked that 👍 Excellent narration too 🙂

[@thetreblerebel]

Cue the Superman theme when superman regergitates the Alien embryo lol

[@xexun0010]

Can't believe the xenomorph hurt superman that much at 20% of his power, xenomorphs are underrated

[@pizzacough4555]

Even reading the female parts, his narration is legit and keeps my attention. Great voice for this type of content. Kudos.

[@slavcity406]

You should consider doing more of these comic read throughs. Was like watching a movie. You put alot of personality in each characters voice and even more effort with the video editing

[@forgettable8300]

Superman is the only man who would bother trying to talk to a xeno while its trying to eat him xD

[@leomartin1603]

This was well done. Hard to believe how OLD this is.

[@fernandoorozco5968]

The aliens being genetically engineered by Kryptonians actually makes huge sense

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.

[@SSJFutureGohan62093]

Exactly.

[@kartikadewi3270]

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

[@Blazeww]

Most probably don't know that Dark Seid tried using Xenomorphs as a weapon....

[@mattyt3625]

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.

[@Inverts4Introverts]

Amazing. Superman nit being invisible actually makes him kind of compelling.

[@jfbrko290]

I'm surprised the aliens that erupted from the other sorta-Kryptonians werent more resilient. Xenos tend to inherit at least some genetic traits of the organisms they incubate inside of, so would it have been too crazy for those Xenos to have enhanced abilities? that would have made things more interesting, I think.

[@joethestrat]

I mean, they probably did but they'd deal with the same issue Superman/suriving kryptonians are dealing with: No sunlight to activate their powers. If there were sunlight the kryptonians wouldn't have been surprised by what Superman can do.

[@christopherstrickland1363]

What if... 1: Cyberforce/Aliens crossover? 2: Aliens/Hunter-Killer crossover?
