Could the "Mutant" Be A Rogue Android?

In interviews in the past we heard of there could be more than one "David" in the film. So, could the "Mohawk" guy actually be a rogue android? Like what happened to Ash? In the preview trailer, we see this character throwing one of the crew around, but looks to be the same size as a crew member. Also, his description form previous screen caps matches this new image: [img]http://oi41.tinypic.com/33pfv49.jpg[/img] So, could this actually be an android who goes rogue and tries to sabotage the Prometheus mission? Could his "burns" be the result of the crew fighting back to try and stop him? Could there be two androids from two different companies on board? One from Weyland and one from Yutani and they're secretly competing for the finds of the Prometheus mission?!? So many questions, so many possibilities. What are your thoughts? Or am I out to lunch? Haha

I think he's human, but I believe that he could get mutated/experimented on by the Space Jockey's. . .

to be honest the only interview that can point to more than one android is the Q&A with Ridley and Lindelof ... someone did ask if there would be one android in the movie and i think Scott did answer " why not 2 ?" or something like that ...so there is really no indication that there can be more than one android ..of course can be that they are ALL android but there is really no indication except a provocative/joke answer from the director

I always thought that it may be possible David is not an android and Ridley intentionally is selling him as one. Maybe he acts rigid and lack personality for most of the movie and then when we are sure he's an android he dies a bloody death revealing he was all too human. : )

He definitely looks like our 'Mohawk Man' Bughunter.

I definitely think Mohawk man is human and mutates. @Biomechanic, that's a really interesting idea! not quite sure I buy into it but certainly fun to think about!!

I seriously don't think that would be the case but if it was it would make me laugh. I mean where are we getting the fact that David is an android from? Nothing seen so far really nails it. There is supposedly a shot of white blood but it is in the comic con trailer and even then it might not be his blood or android blood at all. Why do we take this as a fact? Was it in an interview? I only remember Ridley saying their might be one or two androids but I don't remember him naming anyone in particular. Kind of like the ship named Megellan. Where did that come from? There is no supporting evidence for it anywhere but it became a fact for a while.

found this great gif of mutant mohawk man in mid-leap. you can really see the transformations to his face - his head is misshapen around the forehead. (sorry if it's already been posted) [img]http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0c7izdmuo1qaj09co1_500.gif[/img]

Is it me or does part of 'Mutant Mohawk man's' right shoulder disappear during that clip?

@Milos - I think that's just the lighting playing tricks on his shiny suit @ncc1701 - looks like his boots are flared at the top. what's also interesting is if you look at his pants midsection closely, they look torn and frayed, which would make sense if his height increased.

lol - you've got a point there. Neelix - jeez what an annoying character he was. I'd like to see mutant man jump on him ;)

The fact that his clothes seem frayed comes from him having been fried a few times by them.

And let me add... That hi-Rez gif looks great btw and combined with the hi-Rez stills I've seen so far... The color work on this film is just spectacular! Ridley seems to have gone out of his way for outstanding color correction, etc.

There is a very interesting point in this thread: Weyland and Yutani companies are separated, or am I wrong? So there could be an Android spy infiltrated by Yutani company to sabotage the mission of Prometheus for before returning to Earth with the valuable discoveries. IMHO of course. With respect to the mutant, I think it is just that, a mutant or a monster. regards

Interesting Shambhala.....makes you wonder when, where and how they would have reconciled inspite of sabotage...also, Yutani could have kept it totally under rapps with the Prometheus likely not returning.

@craigamore Yes, I think there is a possibility that Yutani is part of Prometheus, and insurance will be antagonistic role against Weyland.

I didn't think about that - Nice call! I'd much prefer for this guy to be a haywire android. His synthetic face could just be puffed up due to having his helmet off and depressurized in the lack of atmosphere. What would Ash or Bishop have looked like if they stepped outside in a low pressure environment? In my opinion, having a crew member be mutated is a very dumb idea. It sounds very much like a goofy 60's B science fiction movie. Keep the assimilating to Star Trek and the Borg; it's been done to death already. Give us something new.

In the first trailer there is a quick shot of someone holding their helmet with some kind of smoke or poison inside the glass. I am guessing that whoever "Mohawk Guy" is, that's how his face gets all banged up.
