Just watched Aliens twice, Hicks is better than Reese, man.
I watched Aliens this weekend as well. Reese was shown to adapt to the 20th Century weapons very well. He overpowered police officers, was adept with explosives and firearms. He was also extremely tough. While Hicks was forced to bed rest, Reece was still fighting. He took hits from the T-800 without getting knocked out(he was pretty ****ed up).
Reese was also shot and wasn't making a big deal out of it. The T-800's are just a more dangerous adversary and he fought them for a living. The Marines, who all seemed to have never encountered Xenos before, would have done considerably better if they never had there ammunition stripped from them but still got pwned.
Future Resistance Fighter>Colonial Marine
Those guys live in an apocalyptic world hiding from machines day and night, hardly eating, and wearing rags for clothes. Reese is considerably tougher. Like I said, while the Xenomorph is a rediculous creature to combat, that was the first time the Marines had ever encountered it. Reese had been fighting Terminators for years, and T-800's for months atleast(they were new).
