On the page, [[1]], we have Ellen Ripley's stats, but we are lacking stats for Ripley 8 For those who are unaware, Ripley 8 is the genetic clone of Ellen Ripley from the Movie series, Alien, directed by James Cameron. Ellen Ripley herself is no special snowflake - no real perks except for a die-hard attitude and resourcefulness, not to mention a sharpshooter. However Ripley 8 is far different than her progenitor. Ripley 8 possesses several traits, namely: Reinforced Nails, acidic blood, minor telepathy, growths, Immunity to physical pain, greatly enhanced strength, Regenerationn, immunity to acidic blood, enhanced senses, genetic memory. I will explain her stats. Strength: Ripley 8 is shown to be able to rip a reinforced steel door apart, and is able to remove a Facehugger. This last feat is the important one, and the one i'm going to discuss. The Facehugger latches onto the targets head and releases acid when attempted to be remove - in addition, it squeezes the throat, constricting and threatening to kill the victim. Ripley is able to remove it unaided. Yautja and Engineers are unable to remove Facehuggers. When you consider the strength of the two alien speices... Yautja casually lifts 3 tons (evidenced by flipping cars in books, and able to drag full-grown alien queens in pairs. Alien Queens Weight: 10 tons. In the AvP Game: Extinction, you see two Predators drag the Queen away. Meaning that together they can pull 10 tons (so we're guessing 5 tons a piece) Meaning that a Yautja that can pull 5 tons cannot pull a Facehugger off. Engineers are even better. In the comics, the Engineers are able to fling Yautja around like rag-dolls. This means that an Engineer is stronger than a Yautja (more than 5 tons.) Because he blocks the Yautja's attacks in the comics, but the Yautja is unable to block his - only dodge. Meaning that Ripley's strength is at least 5 tons. 5 tons translates into 20.92gigajoules, or 8-B (City Block). Her Speed? Supersonic+. She's shown being able to react to alien attacks. Aliens in the second movie are able to dodge gunshots made by the Colonial Marines. Her reaction speed? Supersonic+ to Hypersonic. Her combat speed? Supersonic+, she can react, catch, and block alien attacks. Her movement speed? Unknown, implied high. Durability: At least Wall+ to Small Building+. Explanation? She survives a shot from a Lacrima 99 Shockrifle, a electricity gun. It's quoted for being stronger than a "lightning bolt" and "Kills a Rhino in a single shot." She survives it at point-blank range and it merely stuns her. She survives a steel-pipe to the back of the head with no visible damage: "as if a major head blow like that was just something you shook off"
 
Killing a Rhino in a single shot is only Wall level, and 5 tons is nowhere near equivalent to destroying an entire city block in a single attack. It is more akin to Room level. Also, you don't need supersonic speed to dodge gunshots, as long as you can time the movements of the shooter, especially not regular gunshots.
