Several of their ships are unexpectedly downed when they are exposed to deposits of magnetite, a mineral that is toxic to them and which apparently also arrived on the planet thanks to that fateful original meteorite. The alien colonists make their long-awaited return to Earth in the 1940s, where they encounter a (comparatively) technologically advanced human species. These alien rebels make it their life’s work to halt the spread of the virus everywhere they can across the galaxy – including, eventually, Earth. Only a small number of these so-called alien colonists (at least, so far as we know) manage to resist infection, using their latent shape-shifting abilities to seal off every body orifice to prevent Purity from entering their systems. In the meantime, the newly reconstituted aliens colonize as many other planets in the cosmos as possible, spreading the virus and strengthening their ranks. It is at this stage that humanity is viewed as the perfect crop to be harvested, and plans are made to return to Earth – presumably once the ice age retreats – to reclaim it. It seems that the two lifeforms evolved into symbiotic partners, with the aliens becoming Purity’s permanent hosts and Purity becoming the main reproductive method for the aliens (a host is infected and then used as an incubator for the alien offspring, which consumes the host’s body when it is birthed). It is unknown whether the alien race was present on Earth along with their early vessels, but, at some point, they came into contact with Purity and became almost entirely subsumed by it. Purity flourished as the original inhabit of the planet until the next ice age began extreme cold is one of the virus’s few weaknesses, and it was forced to abandon all of its various hosts and travel deep underground, where it eventually hitched another ride – this time within oil, another medium that can be perfectly manipulated (hence Purity’s nicknames as the Black Oil or the Black Cancer throughout the show). This virus is sentient and is able to function by invading a host species and transforming it into an alternate, perhaps more ideal (for defensive purposes) form. Also arriving on that meteorite was an already-evolved lifeform, an alien virus that has since come to be called Purity. (Occasionally, a human is born with at least some of this DNA activated, giving him such abilities as telepathy the series refers to these individuals as being “more human than human.”) It remains unknown why these extraterrestrials created humanity or whether they’re responsible for other civilizations on other planets, as well. It would seem that the aliens shaped man more or less into their image physically, as well, although evolution would take its course, turning off most of the aliens’ physiology and rendering it into what scientists now call junk DNA. The building blocks of life may have arrived on Earth thanks to a meteorite (probably originating from Mars), but it was a race of extraterrestrials that made mankind into what it is today – a series of UFOs arrived on the planet millions of years ago, covered in verses that would eventually find their way into all of man’s various religious texts and written in a language that would ultimately reemerge as a Native American dialect. Furthermore, as his role expanded, Walter Skinner appears in more Monster of the Week episodes. It should be noted that some key mythology characters also appear in Monster of the Week episodes notably, Deep Throat, X and the Cigarette Smoking Man each appear in episodes which involve government activities.
