[Aliens] What if a xenomorph infected a superhuman?

It's shown that xenomorphs retain at least some biological features of their hosts. Say James Mains has fire breath. He is knocked unconscious and gets facehugged. Would the offspring be able to have noticeable traits involving the fire breath?

I imagine that it would, but perhaps to a lesser degree if the superhuman it chose as a host gained their abilities through mutation or genetic engineering, instead of the superhuman being part of distinct quasi-human race that is inherently superhuman across the board (such as Atlanteans). 

If the superhuman in question is noted for there invulnerability, then the Xenomorph in question could have a problem spawning. In the DC/Aliens crossover, Superman was attacked by a face-hugger, and while the Xenomorph was able to gestate within him, it couldn't escape because of his physiological invulnerability granted by yellow solar radiation. When it attempted to burst out of Superman's chest, it was crushed by his rib cage, and he ended up vomiting out its remains. Pretty metal if you ask me. 

Now, if a Xenomorph infected a Kryptonian like Superman while they were under a red sun, the chest-burster could escape, since red-sun Kryptonians are basically humans. It's possible for that Xenomorph to inherit some Kryptonian traits, and if it was then exposed to yellow sunlight, we'd have a whole new problem on our hands.
