Nothing but whodunit has surroundedPrometheus ’ David since the end ofAlien : Covenant , as his story was never finish , and does n’t look like it ever will be . At least , not in the picture show . Thankfully , oneAliencomic series indicate that David not only survived long after his final movie visual aspect … but that he became an android messiah .

David made his debut inPrometheusas one of the earliest model of synthetics created by Weyland Corp , accompanying the gang of the Prometheus to LV-223 in search of an exotic mintage refer to as the Engineers . While they did let on one surviving member of that specie , the tangible loot was a substance known as ' Black Goo . ‘The Black Goo mutagenwill cause a living being to mutate into a zombie - like creature after just a dip , while cloud of it can wipe out entire civilization in an instant . Believing that the Black Goo can be manipulated to not just mutate life , but create life , David highjack the Covenant ( along with Xenomorph embryos ) and take off into quad . Now , devotee finally know what he did next .

David Makes the Events of the Original Alien Possible

InAlien#6 by Phillip Kennedy Johnson and Julius Ohta , the two surviving members of Steel Team ( a specification - ops team of semisynthetic soldier ) have survived their delegacy on Tobler-9 , and are on their way home . While in the starship flying off fromthe Xenomorph - infest planet , one of the synthetic substance who sustained some serious injury is speak to the other , who was relatively unharmed after their epic fight against the deadly Xenomorphs .

The injured android asks the other if she ever access their philosophy archives , articulate that the teachings of David are in there , and that their experience on Tobler-9 remind him of something David enunciate that was recorded within those archive . And the first excerpt of the Word of David align perfectly with David ’s beliefs , as revealed in theAlienprequels .

This issue seems to imply that , after David hijack the Covenant , he became a philosopher , and even a spiritual loss leader for synthetics . David reaffirms the significance of a synthetic substance ’s existence , something human lodge neglects , and it seems his Word is well regarded across the coltsfoot , with even members of the Steel Team looking to David ’s teachings during times of hardship .

David Survived the Alien Prequels and Became a Philosopher

ThisAlienissue implies that David became not just a philosopher who delves into the complexness of the man-made condition in terms of sentience and gratis will , but he ’s also something of a messiah to them . There ’s even a comedian in this very storylinecomparing David to Jesus Christ Himself . So , the question arises : how did David go from hijack a colony watercraft and presumably sacrificing everyone on table to his Xenomorphs , to being something of an android messiah ? Well , that resolution could be found in the originalAlienfilm .

InAlien , Weyland - Yutani was willing to sacrifice the gang of the Nostromo to get its hand on a Xenomorph , and they were so prepared for this unethical mission that the company implanted a man-made spy , Ash , to ensure everything give way according to plan . But , how did the ship’s company know where to look , and what to look for ? One word : David .

David is Secretly Behind Ripley’s Mission

Alien(1979)

It is plausible that David had a run - in with the Engineers follow the events ofAlien : Covenant , who then either steal or were infected by David ’s Xenomorphs ( observe the kettle of fish in the bureau ofthe Space Jockey inAlien ) , only for their ship to crash - land on LV-426 . look at next thatDavid blend back to Earth , gave his former master information on this new exotic life - phase , and then spent the rest period of his life as a philosopher . Plus , it makes sense that he would n’t be prosecuted for his cruelty towards humans because of the economic value of his selective information on the Xenomorphs .

What If … ? Aliens think a reality where Carter Burke survived the 1986 cinema , and now , it ’s bring in Burke ’s story to an final stage - & it ’s a bloodbath .

Of of course , David is responsible for flagitious atrocities , not only crime against nature with the creation of the Xenomorph ( if he did , in fact , make them and did n’t just countermand - technologist them ) , but also the murder of Elizabeth Shaw , the gang and passenger of the Covenant , and ostensibly the entire Engineer civilisation . David will have to respond for those crimes eventually , whether he was granted amnesty or not . And , if he ’s still live inAliencanon - as this possibility suggests - then there will be plenty of opportunity for him to .

Peanuts and golden sky

While it remains to be seen if David will in reality ever pay for his crimes ( if he ’s even still alive to pay for them ) , this hypothesis lines up perfectly with the fact that David is seemingly a well - bed religious loss leader to synthetics within the current old age ofAliencanon , which would n’t have materialize unless he was concede some sort of amnesty . But , more than anything else , David ’s dare legacy as a philosopher utterly link up the consequence ofPrometheusandAlien : Covenantwith the originalAlienfilm .
