Found by a hooker on the streets, crying for food. She was raised by that hooker until the age of 10 when the hooker was found dead in a gutter, no one knew what happened to her. From then, Alexis's life went from bad to very bad. She fought other kids for food and eventually a local mob boss found her and gave her a job as a pickpocket. As years passed by, Alexis grew in the organization until eventually she killed the mob boss and took over it. At the age of 18, Alexis decided to leave Bangkok once and for all, abandoning the life of a criminal. She boarded a plane to America and never looked back. Numerous scars on her body and one small scar on her left cheek made people avoid her and getting a job was hard for her. Eventually she got back to the old habits and started stealing from whoever she could. Alexis was caught eventually by the police and was sentenced to 3 years in the jail. That's when her powers manifested. Other convicts from the prison saw her as a threat and wanted to "teach her a lesson", they paid a few guards and Alexis's cell was opened in the middle of the night. They surrounded her and she tried to fight them off but they were just too many and she got a knife in the belly as a result. The adrenaline or a self conservation instinct kicked in and somehow...all the convicts disappeared from her cell and reappeared 30 meters above the prison from where they fell to their deaths. Soon after she collapsed as a heavy headache overtook her and slipped into a coma that lasted 2 weeks. When she finally woke up, she learned what she did but didn't believed it at first. When she got out of the prison, she received a text that said " Now you may continue your father's work ". Not knowing what the message meant she tried to find out who sent the message. Her powers soon became more apparent to her and she understood that she [i] is [/i] a mutant. She learned on her own how to use them and what she could do and not do. As days passed, the hunger was installing herself into Alexis and she went again to the life of a criminal and because of her power, no one could catch her. One day, when she was 24...Alexis was following what appeared as a rich guy to a warehouse where she could take everything he owned and disappear in a flash but when she entered the warehouse, her eyes couldn't believe what she saw. Children in cages, probably used as flesh labor. She didn't know what to do and wanted to leave but then a small girl that was in a cage bit a the rich guy and the guy took out a small firearm and shot her in the head, just like that. A flashback hit Alexis as she remembered the life on the streets. She teleported to that guy and killed him very, very slowly for what he did. She freed the children from the cages and took up the mantle of a vigilante. Killing those that did horrible things to people while robbing them.
