Alien's first human/Xenomorph hybrid is destined to a dark fate.
Warning! This article contains spoilers for Alien #5 There have been a number of human/Xenomorph hybrids in the Alien franchise. From Ripley8 and the Newborn in Alien Resurrection to the mutated creature created on Tobler-9. But the first chronological human/Xenomorph hybrid has just been revealed in Alien lore, as was its dark fate.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The first human/Xenomorph hybrid introduced in Alien canon was the aforementioned Ripley8. In Alien Resurrection, a team of scientists gave life to Ripley8, the hybridized clone of the original Alien protagonist following her death in Alien 3, as well as the Newborn, which came as a result of the cloned Xenomorph Queen that had a human reproductive system.
Alien’s First Xenomorph Hybrid Is A Tragic Character Whether It Lives Or Dies In Alien #4-5 by Declan Shalvey and Andrea Broccardo, readers are introduced to perhaps the most disturbing Xenomorph/human hybrid in Alien history. This comic run takes place on the ice planet of LV-695 where a team of scientists are secretly conducting experiments on Xenomorphs under the guise of studying the planet itself and shipping out containers of water to be used on other off-world colonies.
While this hybrid seems dead, issue #5 implies pretty heavy-handedly that he will rapidly heal and eventually revive himself. If that’s true, then it’s all-too possible that the hybrid will not only heal rapidly, but age rapidly as well, just like a regular Xenomorph that can grow to maturity in a matter of hours. This gives the creative minds behind the current Alien canon limitless storytelling potential. If he survives, the hybrid will be all alone on an icy planet overrun with Xenomorphs.
The storytelling potential behind Alien’s first hybrid is exciting if the hybrid did, indeed, survive. Though that doesn’t make his fate any less tragic, as he’s the product of twisted experimentation brought on by his own mother, and then abandoned by his own sister, only to live his life in exile with a horde of Xenomorphs. Or, maybe the hybrid just stays dead, which is tragic for more direct and obvious reasons.

Why the first European paintings of Australian animals look so alien to our eyesIn 1772, Joseph Banks commissioned the foremost painter of animals in England, George Stubbs, to paint a dingo and a kangaroo. To our modern eyes, the paintings lack the vitality and strength of the animals we are familiar with in Australia. The kangaroo more closely resembles a rodent than a bipedal marsupial; the dingo’s glassy-eyed stare lacks any animation.
