Maybe they see Unopans as more "Alien" than other aliens. I, for one, haven't seen any other cyclops species in the show besides them. There's also the fact that Allan and Alien sound a lot alike. Maybe Kirkman just thought it was funny or something.

It’s cuz he’s the last unopan Edit; he’s not im a moron. We just never see any other unopans outside of the flashback so I figured he was

No he isn't. They have breeding camps to keep their species alive. Allen himself stresses about having sex with his girlfriend because Unopans aren't supposed to have sex with anybody - he worries if his "cycles" are off or low, he'll get in trouble. So clearly, even Allen is expected to donate genetic material to keep the species alive.

I wonder if what makes him so powerful (or able to get so powerful) can be transferred to his offspring. If so, Unopans can get near to Viltrumite power levels as a species.

I hope so. It would be really good for the Unopans

Even if it can, I doubt Unopan's would stay at Viltrumite levels for long. Allen was weaker than viltrumites naturally and needed several boosts to get to his final power level. Once people realize that Unopans can survive otherwise fatal injuries and gain a boost from them, they'll probably adapt and just start beheading them completely.

Wait, is he really the last one? Like, what happened to the refugees that fled Unopa? Or the ones that made Allan? Sorry, because I'm not that familiar with the comics. But I didn't get by watching the show of what happened to the rest of them.

He's not.

However, since they don't have a home world anymore it would be accurate to say they are aliens everywhere.

He's not. His species still exists.
