Would Hulk getting hit by a face hugger be the worst case scenario?

"They truly were a Aqua Teen Hunger Force"

Hulk would fucking eat the facehugger. And than grin as acid drips from his teeth, thoroughly horrifying everyone present.

At least in the case of the Brood, healing factors can keep the embryo at bay and slow its roll

And Hulk’s healing factor makes Wolverine look like a chump

This is definitely a better creative team than Ben Percy writing Wolverine vs Predator and Greg Land drawing the first issue

"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."

Picture Hulk and the Avengers. Hulk recently met a facehugger and is looking a little uncomfortable.

A chestburster explodes out of Hulk, snarling. It looks much scarier than a normal chestburster. Also bigger and greener.

Without waiting for his chest cavity to heal, Hulk grabs it by the tail and gives it the Loki treatment, ignoring the acidic gore that splatters about after the first couple of hits.

"Puny xenomorph"

There is a moment of silence. Possibly because of the carnage.

Or possibly just because the Avengers never expected to hear this version of Hulk to say "xenomorph".

Absolutely.

Depends on the version. I'm pretty sure the original Claremont stories claimed it was Wolverine's adamantium skeleton, not just his healing factor, that gave him something the Brood couldn't get their hooks into.

I'm wondering which Avengers they'll use.

Tony might be ok depending on the type of armour he uses.

Cap is gonna be in a lot of danger, but that ain't gonna stop him from trying to make a Xenomorph yield to that mighty, mighty shield.

Thor, Carol, Hulk, and other heavy hitters like Hercules and Wonder-Man (who's a damn energy being 9/10 times anyway) might not even be able to be infected.

Vision should solo.

Wanda could get infected, but maybe if she realizes something is wrong, she can magic it right out of her before it can get her.

And there's probably a bunch of characters I'm not even considering.

Also, we already have something similar in the form of the Brood (though you turn into a brood when they infect you, rather using you as a damn meat crib), so the Avengers might be able to quickly figure out what they are dealing with due to some form of past experience.....have the Avengers even fought the brood? I just thought of that now?

I guess Carol has experience with them, due to her time with the X-Men way back when, but beyond that...

@Godwriter: Magneto hasn't been a villain for 15 years.

In many ways, he and the X-Men met in the middle of their respective ideals

So I guess Magneto really is more consistent than Doom or Doc Ock.

I'll teach you a lesson about just how cruel the world can be. That's my job, as an adult.

At least when he found his niche, really. And there are still moments like the Morrison era that have to get buried somehow.

Wake me up at your own risk.

That was Xorn pretending to be Magneto pretending to be Xorn and also he was addicted to evil fungus spray. Which entirely makes sense so don’t scrutinize it.

but what happened if it was really Magneto...pretending to be Xorn pretending to be Magneto pretending to be Xorn pretending to be Magneto pretending to be Xorn pretending to be Magneto...

Xorn Magneto is Morrison's issue as a writer, they can't really write nuanced villains.

They always go for icky dark black morality for their rogues and as a result they tend to be horrific monsters.

"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."

It's funny, because I remember there were complaints when Magneto got more noble qualities that it made him too similar to Doctor Doom.

Which can work. But not in this case. It basically erases all the character development Magneto had previously.

There are probably other characters they could have used in his stead that perfectly fit that icky black Complete Monster he wanted.

I'm not sure why he went with Magneto.

I know about the Mad Terrorist Twat interview, but....Erik had been more than that for a long time.

One Strip! One Strip!

It wasn’t Magneto, it was Sublime driving his body through the Kick drug. The Floating Hands cartoon made people think that was part of the retcon but it wasn’t; Morrison’s last issue has Wolverine explicitly say Erik had no idea what he was doing at the time.

The retcon part was just the existence of real Xorns.

The pig of Hufflepuff pulsed like a large bullfrog. Dumbledore smiled at it, and placed his hand on its head: "You are Hagrid now."

I cannot believe that Morrison took a shitty plot from Byrne’s West Coast Avengers and played it straight

I'm sad Xorn wasn't a real guy cause he has a cool look

"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."

IIRC that’s why they decided to make him Real After All - he was too cool to be “just” a disguise.

Two real guys who both look the same

Well, they say you have a double somewhere in the world.

Wake me up at your own risk.

In the Marvel Universe, that means you've either travelled to an alternate universe, or you have a clone.

One Strip! One Strip!

Meanwhile the DC universe had a whole slew of identical doubles, especially for Clark and Bruce.

The Protomen enhanced my life.

Or it's another Skrull. Or a shapeshifting mutant like Mystique or Morph. Or the Chameleon.

I think Xorn and Xorn were twins
