The BLACK GOO VIRUS (PROMETHEUS Explored)

It's okay, just stay calm, stay silent, this is okay, I can handle this, that's beautiful. Hey guys, what's going on? Here with movie comics explained and today we will look at the more commonly known chemical zero three nine five nine x point nine one. Like the

black

liquid or

black

goo that first appeared in the 2012 science fiction thriller Prometheus directed by Sir Ridley Scott, the black goo was essentially an extremely potent and virulent mutagenic pathogen composed of millions of microorganisms that engineers manufactured to serve as a biological weapon, although it would be more accurate to call it a catalyst of evolution used by engineers to cleanse planets of life, once exposed to another organism, the

virus

would begin to mutate its host by rewriting its DNA on film as the pathogen was beginning to leak.

In their containers, the liquid began to mutate several of the worm-like slugs found in the Engineers' Temple before turning them into the aggressive Hannah Pete. These impressive snake-like creatures exhibited acidic blood much like xenomorphs, as well as having incredible strength and the ability to regenerate lost body parts. The physiological changes caused by the

virus

were so abrupt that most hosts would become extremely aggressive and seemingly mindless attacking anything alive in sight. This was clearly seen in the case of Fifield, the geologist who was exposed to the pathogen. during the US Expedition Watch SS Prometheus eventually mutate into a monstrous entity that began ruthlessly hunting its crew members while also being extremely resistant to physical injury as the crew struggled to take it down.

Another person who came into contact with the engineers' virus was Charlie Holloway, who was deliberately infected by David, out of spite and a desire to make things move faster, as requested by his teacher Weyland, when initially appearing in his eyes, the black liquid continued to infect and change Charlie's insides, making him sick relatively quickly. We didn't get to see the extent of Charlie's infection; he was burned alive by the vicars who refused to allow the infection to come aboard their ship; However, he had already infected the coast and noticed it with judgment on this enormous monster.

She eventually took over an engineer and got him pregnant, after which the engineer himself also gave birth to another creature called a deacon who had a similar basic structure to the xenomorphs we all loved. The speed and intensity of the mutation process depended on the amount of virus absorbed by the host and the way in which they were exposed. for example, Charlie's mutation occurred at a much slower rate in five fields, as Charlie only ingested a small drop of the liquid in his drink as the pool's field of fire fell facing the black curve in the temple, at higher concentrations, the mutation would occur. breaking down the body almost instantly in a matter of seconds to create new life.

Given these examples, I think it is evident that the mutations introduced by chemicals were random and never allowed the same effect to be recreated. According to David, who spent almost a decade exhaustively studying the pathogen and its effects, the virus was designed to infect non-botanical organic life. , after years of practice, David was able to master using the substance to create the proteome or seed an alien pact as a precursor to the xenomorphs. We also get a wonderful demonstration of his destructive power. power in Alien Covenant when David released a large amount of the pathogen on the engineers living on Planet 4 and the virus killed them outright instead of infecting them when the pathogen infected a viable host, it would then gestate a hybridized parasitic life form that killed to the host upon emerging, as was evident with the neo morphs on planet 4.

I've already made a video covering the neo morphs as well as a ton of other alien content and we'll leave a link to that playlist below. I should also mention that in the Amazing Fire Stone Comic Anthology. The black goo was also seen having phenomenal effects on an Android named Eldon who comes into contact with it and turns him into something incredible.

Well that's all for today folks, thanks to everyone who requested we take a look at the black goo that appears in Prometheus and Alien Covenant.
