favorite character in the alien franchise.

IRaptus 

although  i enjoyed a few charectors from resurrection, They sort of just made the movie lightharted to me. thats just my opinion.

Timmy the ultramorph I see your point. Aliens had quippy characters too but they balanced it out nicer with the darkness. Nonetheless, I still enjoyed it. Each film added something different to the franchise.

Lawrence of Arabia hahah awesome!!

Timmy the ultramorph its classic Joss Whedon humour....though heavily bastardised  

My favorite is probably Clemens from Alien 3. He is sort of quiet but still goes his own way look at his conversation with Andrews "I am the doctor you are the jailer". 

After Clemens my favorite is Vasquez. I like her attitude for example when she pulls out some shells after being forced to give them to someone in Aliens (Apone?). She has some "don't take any shit" kind of attitude. Who can forget “Let’s rock!!!”?

The only movie where I have had Ripley as number one is in Alien, I don't know why.

Ripley, Shaw, Bishop and Walter
