If it’s part of their biology, then probably. There’s a lot of possibilities to go through.

A xeno who got to Spider-Man would have a Spidey sense and the proportional strength and speed of a spider. A xeno born from Mister Fantastic or Ms. Marvel would inherit their stretchy powers. Putting aside individuals for a second, what if they got to different species? A Skrull xeno would be able to shapeshift and blend in with their prey. If a Queen was ever born from a mutant then all her facehuggers (and by extension the xenos) could have the X-gene. On the other end of the spectrum, what would a symbiote-possessed Alien look like?

How would it work with Mister Fantastic? It's going to push against his chest...and just stretch it out, wouldn't it? I guess it could chew it's way out...

I don't think the Skrull Xeno would be smart enough to properly disguise itself. Maybe blend into the walls or something, but trying to replicate other beings? Wouldn't it just look like, say, a Kree crawling on the ground, drooling?

Hulk couldn't chew him up, so a Xeno won't.

Then the chestburster could escape through his throat like in the 2010 Alien vs. Predator game. Maybe Reed just poops or vomits or sneezes it out because otherwise he’d have to deal with this thing in his internal organs trying to chew its way out of his body.

Speaking of things, would the chestburster be able to escape the Thing’s chest? Would the Alien be all rocky too?

[blues32]

Yeah, but if it crawls out of his mouth, Reed won't die. And if Reed doesn't die, then the Xeno has to deal with Reed, who will know exactly how to take care of it (freezing it to make it brittle and unable to stretch).

Xenomorphs are pretty smart, it might not be able to talk or use technology but it could probably blend in just enough to look like another species from a distance.

What would it even look like? Do Xenomorphs even "see" in the traditional sense? They have no eyes. So, if they shapeshift, would they have to learn a new type of vision, what with having peepers all of the sudden? It's highly unlikely they have the imagination to create their own appearance, so they'd have to copy someone else. And, again, I bet they'll have a terrible drooling problem no matter what form they take.
