Alexandra Ivanov


Alexandra is shorter than the average person, standing at only 5' 3". Her jet black hair reaches all the way down to the middle of her back. The prison jumpsuit complements her small frame, even though the large tentacle-arms have completely ruined any semblance of beauty that she once had. The tentacles themselves are large, purple-red flesh that is constantly secreting a sticky liquid to keep them moisturized.

Alexandra's power is both a blessing and a curse. After an incident in the lab, her arms have been replaced with tentacles resembling that of an octopus. These tentacles or capable of extending nearly three times her height, and can withstand extreme temperatures. They have been known to regenerate after being damaged, no matter the severity.


Alexandra has developed a cold exterior. She'll often push away others, in order to preserve her sanity. She is constantly afraid of being betrayed, and does everything she can to keep that from happening. Due to the unfortunate events that bestowed upon her this "gift," she is quite pessimistic. Her thirst for knowledge has given her the ability to think logically.


Alexandra wasn't like the other kids growing up. While the others were playing in the dirt, Alexandra was studying the dirt. She was constantly going to her parents with questions about the world. One day while on a school field trip to an aquarium, she fell in love with the creatures of the water. From that day on, she devoted her studies to marine biology. She graduated high school and went on to become a marine biologist.

While studying an extremely rare species of octopus, the radiation hit. A freak accident resulted in the genes of the octopus being crossed with her own. Her arms violently disintegrated and were replaced with two large, gooey masses of tentacles. The pain was too much to handle, and she passed out.

She awoke several days later only to realize that her nightmare was more than just that. It was her reality. In an act of desperation, Alexandra attempted to cut off the tentacles. She would be an amputee, but at least she wouldn't be a monster. Unfortunately, the tentacles grew back within a few hours. All that pain was for nothing.

She attempted to live her life as normal as possible, but with the rising of Gifted villains, she was locked away along with all the others. Now all alone, she had time to ponder the reality of her situation. Everyone she had known shunned her, not only because she was Gifted, but because she looked like something out of a horror movie.

Spite, rage, and above all else, sadness began to build up as she lived her life in prison. Due to something completely out of her control, she was labelled a criminal. She was thrown in prison because of the actions of others. Her life was turned upside down because of this freak accident.

Name: Alfred Reginald "Soldier X"

Age: 54

Powers:

• Superhuman: Soldier X is a supersoldier, meaning that he's more capable of doing things a normal man couldn't do in battle. He's stronger than the average man, being able to stop objects the size of a truck, he's also incredibly durable, being able to survive fatal falls and be unharmed, faster, more flexible, has a keener sense of hearing, as well as smell, and his mind can compute twice as fast. This can help him survive getting shot or hurt, as well as calculate strategies in a quick span of time.
• Weapon-Expert: Being a highly trained soldier, as well as a fast learner, Soldier X can wield a weapon up to its maximum capabilities. His favorite weapon to use is an advanced Heavy Pulse Rifle, in which he can fire from volleys of plasma energy, issue a charged shot, or fire explosive rounds. Soldier X can modify the weapon to serve whatever the situation calls for.

Personality: Soldier X is basically a veteran soldier. Being as such, he's naturally tough, courageous, and quick thinking on the battlefield. His experiences on the battlefield had made him all the more wiser, smarter, and overall more aware of his own surroundings. He is also a truth-seeker, never resting on any case until he finds out the truth behind anything. Yet if any innocent people happen to be in the line of danger, he will do in whatever mean to keep them safe and unscaved. Overall, he's a soldier who takes no for an answer and will whatever it takes to accomplish his goals... even if that means he has to do it himself.

Bio: Soldier X, known as Alfred Reginald, was born in the rural part of Indiana. He was born to a German father and a French mother, who both loved him quite dearly. While not much else is known about his early life, the 19 year old Alfred ultimately packed his bags and joined the military. He wanted to explore the world as well as helping to save other people from the "forces of evil" as he called it. He performed stupendously in almost every category and hence he was called in to be a volunteer of a new super serum. This super serum was to create super soldiers, making them stronger, more durable, and ultimately to become the ultimate warrior on the battlefield.

The test worked and soon after, Alfred, now being called "Soldier X" as his code name, had received a squad comprised of other super soldiers. He and his squad participated in dangerous top-secret missions in the heart of enemy territory and was able to succeed in every mission, never failing the US government in the slightest. Soldier X was ultimately known as a national hero throughout America and was even offered to become a general of the army, which he refused at that time for being still satisfied with his own squad. For over thirty years had he blindly worked for the US military, bringing in victory after victory...

However, the more Soldier X looked into the true intentions of the US government, their top-secret agendas, their plans, their secret-weapons, everything... the more he began to question them. Sometimes, when he took part in some missions, especially those with little information, he questions himself. He feels as if the government was hiding something from he and the public. And whenever he would ask these questions, he was always scolded and put back into place. But he knew the truth... connections with spies and other government officials have told him the truth... the cold, hard, bloody truth. He knew something had to be done.

So one day, after being briefed on a mission to kill what was said to be a middle eastern town full of terrorists, Soldier X questioned the government's authority, even threatening to kill the mission briefer if they weren't told the truth. Of course, he was denied and was casted out of the military and government. He and his squad were now wanted men. As they began to go into hiding, Soldier X's entire squad was found by the CIA and were ultimately killed. While he, the team leader, survived, he and his entire group were then casted as traitors of the United States and a threat to humankind as they knew it.

It was over for Alfred... He then went into hiding far up to the north, around Montana, to live the rest of his days in total misery and betrayal. For 5 years did he remain hidden from the government out in the wild woods of the north. When the radiation blast hit Earth during his third year in hiding, Soldier X thought he didn't receive anything... only it did. It actually kept the serum that he received decades ago, which was already slowly fading away, permanent, which in fact made him even better than before. His senses were even better than when he initially got the serum. In short, the radiation wave super charged him and also was able to slow his aging process. At that rate, his life expectancy was around the age of 150 years.

However, he was eventually found by the government and thus a massive battle took place. Soldier X felt like he was back in the days of his Prime, perhaps even better before, but even after a mighty struggle, he too was ultimately captured. He was eventually taken back to prison, where he remained like so for several months. He thought he was going to simply rot in jail, get tortured, live in misery till the end of days....

But that was until a certain man happened to come by... and he needed heroes. It sounded a little shaky at first, but this man was serious about it. Was Alfred Reginald given a second chance to redeem himself? To make himself become a hero again instead of a traitor? To become the hero of humanity as a whole once again?

There is only one way to find out...
