"If it comes down to that, I'll do us both. But let's not let it come down to that."
Corporal, USCM.
Hicks by many is considered a fan favorite. He always was quiet and kept to himself mostly. When the marines were sent to LV4-26, Hicks took his Antique Shotgun with him. Passed down from his grandfathers before him from the vietnam war. "I like to keep this handy, for close encounters,". When Gorman got incapacitated, Hicks took over command, and made the decision to take off and Nuke the site from orbit. His great leadership and courage made him one of the few survivors of aliens. On their escape, Hicks shot an alien at close range and got burnt by acid. Ripley pulled his chest plate off to save him. He was then carried to the dropship where Bishop waited. At the beginning of alien 3, when they were evaacuated from the sulaco and shot down to fury 161. On the way there, Hicks was impaled by a support beam. Killing him instantly.
