Allen is the name given to a Martian lifeform that was detained by the Men in Black and studied by the Federal Bureau of Control.
Appearance[]
Unlike most extraterrestrials, Allen resembles a white translucent cnidarian of some kind or a multi-headed planarian. Its translucent skin allows its circulatory system to be visible underneath its skin. Throughout the years of its detainment in one of the FBC's facilities, Allen grows larger, making his appearance look more monstrous and scyphozoan.
History[]
Background[]
Allen himself reveals through his means of communication that he was an inhabitant of Mars and resided alongside the planet's other residential lifeforms the Hnau. It was not until the Molluscs whom were wrongly identified as "martians" came to Mars, migrating from their home planet to Mars in order to colonize and take the planet as their own. Of course, Mars' current ecosystem did not take too kindly to that and there was aggressive resistance against these invaders which progressed throughout the uncountable centuries of the planet's evolution. Allen was among the resistance and was forced to grow into an apex predator that adapted and evolved to combat the invaders and their weapons.
War of the Worlds[]
It was not until these invaders developed advanced technology that the tides quickly turned in their favor and the invaders staked their claim on Mars. Allen would go into hiding but every once in a while would kill one of these invaders if they encroached on his territory. Moreover, he would also sneak into their strongholds and listen in on their discoveries and trades with other foreign lifeforms like the Mi-go.
Millions of years later, Allen took wind of the 'Martians' plan to invade the Earth as their next target all while he would carefully observe the humans' development throughout their many terran eras at which point he opted to hijack one of the ships as they entered through the Earth's atmosphere. The reentry and below zero temperature of space however forced Allen to go into a hibernative state as one of the ships landed on Earth.
In 1963, Allen was found by the Men in Black in his dormant state and seeing his physiology being vastly different than that of the invaders he was instead detained and taken in by the Federal Bureau of Control to one of their older research sites Area 51. Allen only regained consciousness and grew by absorbing water and nutrients and his dormancy only made him wither into a single-cell amoeba-like state.
Detainment[]
Over the years, Allen would continue to grow and develop an intelligence of his own, however, he retained his memories of how the humans would treat each other and their home planet while the Martians were monitoring them and looked at his human captors only with animosity, declaring that he only came to liberate the Earth from both the invaders and humanity as well.
Even then, Allen would observe the development of his captors to see if they truly have the will to change their ways and eventually even growing an attachment to the scientists assigned to study him, one of which was Dr. Helena Parker who would appointed as a liason of sorts for extraterrestrial and terrestrial life and the other was Dr. Thomas Woodward; it was Dr. Parker's son that gave Allen his name. They would probe through Allen's knowledge of the cosmos and the foreign life it holds to prepare themselves for any coming extraterrestrial conflict.
