Allen the Alien is an Image Comics character who first appeared in the Invincible series.
An apparent alien aggressor, who Invincible's father, Omni-Man had fought several times in the past, all without talking with Allen. One on such incursion, Omni-Man ordered Invincible to fight Allen. Invincible, not seeing a point to the fight, decided to talk with Allen, and they realized that Allen had made a mistake. He was supposed to go to the planet Urath and test its champion, not to Earth.
He is a Champion Evaluation Officer who works for the Coalition of Planets. He travels on a tight schedule and tests the skills of various powered heroes on each planet in order to determine if there is a suitable "champion" to defend that planet. He and Mark have formed a mutual friendship. Allen starred in issue 23, which was styled after a Silver Age comic, complete with complicated footnotes and florid prose.
Allen's race lost their homeworld after the Viltrumites invaded. The survivors managed to maintain their race in space until they found a new homeworld, breeding artificially until the very concept of natural procreation is offensive to most of Allen's people. This hampers Allen's relationship with his girlfriend, who is a lusty sort of female. Allen's people also conducted genetic experiments to create warriors capable of fighting the Viltrumite Empire, failing and losing all test subjects except for Allen (similar in origin to the Super-Skrull).

The Alien was an unproduced Indian-American science fiction film in development in the late 1960s which was eventually cancelled. It was to be directed by the celebrated Indian director Satyajit Ray and co-produced by Hollywood studio Columbia Pictures. The script was written by Ray in 1967, loosely based on Bankubabur Bandhu (Banku Babu's Friend or Mr. Banku's Friend), a Bengali science fiction story he had written in 1962 for Sandesh, the Ray family magazine, which gained popularity among Bengalis in the early 1960s. Bankubabur Bandhu was eventually adapted into a television film by Satyajit Ray's son Sandip Ray, and a play by the theatre group Swapnasandhani Kaushik Sen, in 2006.
The plot revolves around a spaceship that lands in a pond in rural Bengal. The villagers begin worshiping it as a temple risen from the depths of the earth. The alien, known as "Mr Ang", establishes contact with a young village boy named Haba (meaning "Dumb" in Bengali) through dreams and also plays a number of pranks on the village community in the course of its short stay on planet Earth. The plot contains the ebullient presence of an Indian businessman, a journalist from Calcutta and an American engineer.
The Alien is the eighth book in the Animorphs series, written by K. A. Applegate. It is the first book narrated by Ax.
After destroying the Kandrona, the Animorphs assumed that they would see people freeing themselves of the Yeerks. They are disappointed until the day they take Ax to the cinema. A man's Yeerk is seen dying publicly. However, a Controller-policeman kills the free man.
The Animorphs take Ax to the school as Philip, Jake's cousin, and a Yeerk who controlled one of Jake's teachers is seen dying as well. Chapman appears, orders the students to leave, and kills the non-Controller teacher.
Jake and the other Animorphs become very angry with Ax because they feel betrayed. Innocent people are dying as a result of their actions. Ax retorts that they would not have destroyed the Kandrona had they known the consequences, to which Jake replies that he, Ax, still has a lot to learn about humans.
The next day, he meets with Marco to go to a bookshop in hopes that Ax would trust them if they trusted him. However, Marco forgets the money they collected for him to buy a book at home, so he and Ax go to Marco's house to pick it up.
Just what the hell has happened here
Smelling smoke
Must be burning up the atmosphere
Am I lost, have I found the right place to be
Better run, better clear, better be outta my way
I'm comin' down and I'm hot
Yeah I'm hot like the sun, man I'm not of this earth
Yeah I'm somethin' to see
I slowly touch down on the planet
I'm the alien
Could be some trouble up ahead
Just got in today, landed in the USA
Hitched a ride on a rocket from the Milky Way
Just got in today, don't know if I want to stay
Think I'm gonna shoot back home
Like a cosmic ray, oh yeah, oh yeah
They'll never take me alive
They'll never take me alive
Now they're making me a cover boy
Standing in the aisles in the supermarket tabloids
Check it out, checking in
With inquiring minds need to know everything
Like how did I get here
Where will I go
Is he red, is he white or a six foot negro Afrodite
The CIA has got a file on everything I've done
Take me to my friends in Hanger 51
Just got in today, landed in the USA
Hitched a ride on a rocket from the Milky Way
Just got in to town, wanna take a look around
Just arrived but I don't think I want to stay, oh no, oh no
They'll never take me alive
They'll never take me alive
I don't have a phone card to call home
They want to take me as a specimen
Dry me out, ground me into vitamins
Oh my God, maybe I am the cure
My future here it doesn't look too bright to me
I know today I gotta leave and be free, be free
Just got in today, landed in the USA
Hitched a ride on a rocket from the Milky Way
Just got into town, wanna take a look around
I just arrived but don't think I want to stay
Just got in today (just got in today)
Welcome to the USA (welcome to the USA)
Think I'm gonna shoot back home, like a cosmic ray
