Iggy Cygnus
Iggy Cygnus was a combat model Nexus-8 replicant. Iggy was stationed on Calantha, but after shooting his enemy and discovering he was also a replicant, Iggy realized that, to humans, this war was no more than "toy soldiers in a sandbox." He then deserted and escaped to Earth.[1] On Earth, he...
Cygnus (model)
Cygnus was a model of combat synthetic primarily utilized in the 22nd century before its entire generation had been decommissioned and sold for scrap. One such model synthetic had been salvaged by Carter Burke on a waste-disposal planet named Arcadia 234. Aliens: What If...
I honestly think it might be. The only problem is that there's 157 years between 2022 and 2179. Unless there's something in the atmosphere of Arcadia 234 or DNA of combat replicants that prevents decomposing, I'm not sure. In any case, I'm confident this was a reference. How many people do you know called Cygnus? And there's multiple Blade Runner references already... yeah, nah. It's got to be.

I think it might be a shout out more then anything, considering how Cygnus refers to a line of synthetics instead of one personIggy Cygnus

You don't think the Cygnus replicant in Aliens: What If...? might be this guy? They're both black, they're both designed for combat, they're both replicants... yeah, that's my evidence, but still lol. (The 22nd century part is not mentioned)Cygnus (model)

There's no reference to any other Cygnus model existing, so technically, based on the dialogue, he's a combat model replicant. That's all we're given.
The wiki isn't technically wrong for doing that though. They're an AVP wiki, not a Blade Runner wiki. They should have the reading of him being an android.
