Personality: Alexanders personality reflects the years of trauma and loss he has been put through. He is hardly ever jovial or in the mood for jokes and is usually just focused on the task at hand.

Biography: Alexander was born in the middle east to an American father and a Welsh mother. His young life was one of solitude, they lived on the borders of civilization in a desert, living in a small, but secure house. While most other kids his age may have gone to school and developed friendships, Alex's life consisted of military training as taught by his parents. The reason he was being taught this from a young age was because of an agreement between the American government and the British government. A special task force was to be made in secret to deal with worldwide problems and various terrorism scandals. Three other children would be subjected to the same treatment that Alex was.

He discovered his powers during his teenage years. It was only then that his parents showed him theirs. His was a mix of theirs, his mother's power was essentially telekinesis, she could pick just about anything and was one of the strongest telepaths that both America and Britain had. His father had the generation, control and transferral of electricity. He used to be in a special forces much alike the one Alexander was being put into during WW2. He joined during the middle of the war and after showing his powers, was put into a special forces unit. 

Alex was already powerful when he first got his powers. He discovered them when he woke up and practically everything metal was floating in his room and zapping each other when they got close. His parents taught him how to develop his powers as he grew. By the time he was ready to join the special unit he had essentially mastered his power. 

His training wasn't finished when he was ready to join the special unit though. He was 15 when he joined and met his team-mates, but was 21 when he was finally put into action. His team-mates came from all different places and had all different powers. They were also given codenames matching whichever area of combat they were to be specialized and trained most in. Alex was trained most in stealth and was given the nickname 'Demon Stingray'. Another member of the unit, Yuri Dominin was given the codename 'White Rhino' for his power of bone growth and the ability to snap the bones off to use as weaponry. The third member, Jung-Hoon Bae was codenamed 'Forest Raven' for his ability to fly along with his power of impeccable eyesight no matter the height. The final member, Katlego 'Kat' Coller, codenamed 'Saifu' for her accelerated perception of time. 

A lot of the time they were trained by solely in their area, although some of the times they got to train with each other on things they would all need to know. They soon became best friends after convening together after their training. As they grew together though, Alex's relationship with Kat grew into something more. They began dating, well as far as they knew what 'dating' was. Their sheltered life led them to not understand a lot of things that other people took for granted.

Eventually they were set on their first mission. It was a simple retrieve mission, they had to find and bring back a hostage that had been captured by terrorists. Their combined powers made the job a piece of cake, along with every other mission they had been tasked with. That is until the faithful day that an enemy terrorist force began to piece together their own team. They communicated with Yuri in secret and eventually turned them to their side with the use of money and empty promises. Yuri told them about each of his team-mates powers and how to defeat them. It was only until they were tasked with another retrieve mission that the terrorists put their plan into action. 

They let the group recaptured the captured soldier and call in a chopper to retrieve them before they blew the chopper up. They then surrounded the group and warned them that if they tried to run or escape they would be killed one way or another. To prevent Kat from just dodging every bullet and destroying the enemies with her slowed perception of time they tased her first. Jung-Hoon got the worst of it though. He was naive and tried to escape. They lassoed him and threw him to the ground. The sick bastards cut off his arms and tore out his eyes. They left him to bleed to death. Alex attempted to try to tear the guns out of his enemies hands. They had prepared for him. They had their guns and weaponry made from plastic instead of metals. He decided it was best just to submit and hope for the best. That is until rage overtook him. They dragged Kat through the sand face first into a jeep and killed the captured soldier. Alex attempted to draw his gun, only to be met with a plastic grenade and the sounds of feet running in sand. It blew up and knocked him unconscious. 

He woke up hours later. The only thing that kept him alive was Jung-Hoons body. Alex's arm was blown off, but he had landed with that side being pressed down onto Jung-Hoons back. It kept a lot of the blood in for long enough that it stopped the bleeding. He thought all hope was lost. He wouldn't give up though, he began walking into the desert. Trying to find civilization in the wastes was a hopeless effort. He was close to death and just collapsed under the heat of the sun. He knew he would die here he was sure of it. Somehow he was allowed to live though. He woke up while being carried in a fireman position on someones shoulder. He could hardly stay awake and so he didn't. He just hoped it wasn't one of the terrorists.

Alex woke up a few days later in some sort of bed. The room he was in was small, but somehow made him feel at home. He was suspicious of his environment though, who just takes in a wounded man in the desert? He needed to confirm his suspicions and make sure he wasn't in any real danger. He got out of the bed before collapsing back into it under the shock that he had actually lost an arm. It was more of the fact that he could feel strong phantom pains, every finger felt like it was still there, moving, living. He soon got up again and began to explore the house. He was met with something unbelievable.

He was taken in by his father, and the house he was in was the old shack he was trained in. Soon enough, his parents came home from the nearby towns market and after seeing him, broke down in tears. Soon they were done crying and reconciling and Alex told his parents of what happened. They soon contacted their old friends within the unit and got him back to his commanding officers. He told them of Yuri's betrayal, Kat's capture, Jung-Hoons death and his loss of limb. They devised a capture plan after using practically every recon drone to find Kat's position. But first, they had to get Alex a new limb. They suited him with the newest technology they had. They were keeping most things secret from the public and let small things seep out very slowly so that they would always be one step ahead. They attached a robotic limb to him. It took some time getting used to, but soon enough it was just like his old arm. The surgery included drilling a hole into the arm to let Alex's blood seep into it and enable the use of his powers in his new arm. The procedure worked and he was as strong as ever.

He parachuted onto Kat's location at night. He caught the terrorists by surprise, they thought he was dead and had just disposed of their plastic equipment. They were stupid for doing so. He turned their own guns on themselves and threw any bullets that came their way back at them. After going down five levels in some cave in the middle of nowhere, he finally found Kat. She had been brutally tortured and was covered in scars and bruises. She was also missing an arm and a leg, literally. Alex got her back to the unit as soon as he could. It turns out that the terrorists had soldered over the limbs to stop her from bleeding out and robotic replacements couldn't be attached. She had to get regular prosthetics.

It turns out that the trauma from the torture had left her in an unstable state. The knowledge that Jung-Hoon had died and Yuri had betrayed them tipped her over the age. She put herself into a coma which also plunged Alex into a great depression. His sole purpose was now to hunt down and kill Yuri. He fulfilled this promise to himself. He directed any payment he would recieve into the tracking of Yuri. He found him living in Cuba and running a drug farm. He snuck onto the plantation with his use of stealth and made his way to Yuri's room. What followed was a bloodbath. Yuri tossing his bones and using his superior strength to gain the advantage on Alex and Alex using his power and his enhanced hand-to-hand combat to defeat Yuri. It ended in Alex kicking Yuri through the window of his five story home. He left the plantation with a feeling of unfulfillment. After that, he just went with life, doing missions for the government whenever they were needed. That is until 2018, when the government had the idea to put any heroes in prison. Alex was the first to be contained. They thought that if he was allowed to be free, then he'd insight a revolution. They removed his robotic arm and clamped the anti-power bracer on him. They displayed his arm in the main hall as some sort of cruel joke. Soon enough, more and more heroes began to pile in.
