Alexis May (Earth-30)

Other Aliases:

* Hazel

 For all my intelligence, I couldn't see what was coming. I couldn't plan for it and neither could you. It was an accident. Just as it always was. So I will be here, radiant and with open arms, waiting for you. **When you finish saving the world.**
—**The Alchemist**[src]
The dastardly intelligent and highly fierce **Alexis May** was better known in other circles as her bombastic persona, **The Alchemist**. Born to a cop in San Francisco, Alexis would move to Las Vegas, where she had an "awakening" of sorts that granted her an extremely high level of intelligence against her peers. Revealed to be a mutant from a letter from her dead mother, Alexis dedicated her life to doing good in the world under the alias The Alchemist, forcing herself to step up as she saw - from her father - that Las Vegas needed help.

After learning that many of her friends gained superhuman abilities, Alexis decided to work with them as the person behind the scenes, often making items for them or working with them from behind computer screens. She entirely grew into her own as she began to be the organizer and founding member of Hooligans. This led to her becoming an information broker for several superheroes that were outside of Vegas, such as The Wild Pack and even Dakari Onasi at one point. While she maintained a supporter role for most of this time, she did have her villains like The White Queen and Brother Voodoo, both of whom were defeated by Alexis and some help from Shay and Manny respectively. During this time, she would engage in a relationship with Shay.

Recently, Alexis would sadly die in 2020 at the hands of an insane Tyler Price by accident. While her death negatively impacted everyone who knew her, it has had long-lasting effects on the superhero community in Vegas. This event forced Ren to discover who she was and to become better; it gave Shay another reason as to why he can't stop being Tarantula, Hendrix took more safety precautions for Dawn Studios, and Andre began to do more for the community instead of just being a P.I. However, after her return to life following the superhuman war against SHIELD, many of her dastardly dealings with Monica Eden and others have slowly come to light.

## Personality

 Little miss perfect ain't so perfect, Shay.
—**Elektra**
Alexis - on the surface - is the girl next door. Smart, funny, charming, charismatic, and lovely to be around. However, much like every person, she had layers and sometimes, her unsavory ones bubbled to the top. She was - for lack of a better term - perfect to everyone near her, showcasing an intelligence that was unrivaled but it was because of this intelligence, she was oftentimes arrogant as she was usually right most of the time. And when she wasn't right, she would lash out in frustration or anger. Or if she was bested, she would get angry and tend to harm her surroundings but typically, Alexis would keep her cool. However, her true flaws shined when it came to her romantic feelings.

Having had feelings for Shay since she met him, Alexis was known to become possessive - as was Shay, Jane, and Tyler - and petty but to a higher degree. She would oftentimes lash out at others she thought liked Shay and this put Jane in her crosshairs. Even after she "won" by dating Shay, she would still take time out of her day to intentionally mess with Jane. Examples are of times where Alexis had sabotaged Jane's gifts for Shay or even sabotaged Jane's relationship with Tyler by telling him that Jane was in love with Shay. Her pettiness knew no bounds such as one time when Shay messed up and forgot a dinner date of theirs, she purposely withheld information from him while he was fighting a villain until he apologized. Which, Shay finds with hindsight, was pretty funny.

Regardless, Alexis was fiercely loyal to everyone and was always the first to report about a situation and the last to log-off from vigilantism at the end of the day. She had a fantastic sisterhood with Ren and saw the others as brothers and sisters, even going so far as to claim them all as family when she invited everyone to Thanksgiving dinner, the year before she died.

## Attributes

### Powers

 **The smartest mutant dead or alive**? Possibly, but it is too early to tell and we don't have the resources yet. And perhaps, she may not leave her friends. It is a debate we will have to engage with later.
—**Madame X**
**Mutant Physiology:** As her mother was a mutant, Alexis inherited the X-Gene but activated it later in her life than where others usually do. She started hers at 13 instead of the conventional age of 10. Originally - before The New Mutants -, Madame X was unable to recruit her to her team, but more recently, as Alexis' power grew, Madame X kept tabs on her. She theorized that her heightened intelligence was a by-product of latent psionic abilities. While this was a simple theory, the night Alexis died, she displayed the ability to read minds as she read Tyler's mind moments before passing away. She learned that it was an accident because of his extreme insanity. This marked a second mutation for Alexis and was sadly never realized nor developed as per the reason stated prior.

* **Hyper-Genius Intelligence/Intuitive Genius:** Alexis isn't a genius in the conventional sense. Granted, none of this is conventional, but for Alexis, her intelligence comes from the basis of perception. Once she sees how an object is supposed to work, she immediately understands the complexity of the object and all of the components that go along with it. Her ability grew further with more application as it became as if she could visualize what it is that she wanted to create; her mind will begin to search through all of the objects she has seen work and begin to piece it together as an assortment of things that then become what it is she was trying to create in the first place. However, what she visualizes has to be within the realm of logic to be created, meaning that she can't just create a Deus Ex and end a fight. However, what has been stated is that if Alexis truly tried, she could create a theorized item called The God Particle. However, everyone - including Alexis - agreed never to do that as it would cause more problems than solve. However, her intelligence continues further. She has shown an incredible ability to work with machines and even learned coding by using this ability. Due to this, Alexis confirmed that she could learn languages the same as machines as she saw how coding - in all languages - was supposed to work by way of examples and then immediately knew how to code by her brain, basically playing a process of elimination. However, the highlight of this ability comes from her deep love of chemistry. She has a great mastery over chemistry and other applications of it, even going so far as to primarily study alchemy after discovering how to turn to lead into gold through machinery, which is how she got her alias "The Alchemist."

**Secondary Mutatation:** An alleged theory from Madame X that proved true. Alexis was an example of secondary mutations in the world, but it was never fully realized as she passed. Madame X noted it, but it worried her. It bothered her because if secondary mutations exist, she pondered if this will work for already powerful mutants and what will happen to the world if it does.

* **Latent Telepathy:** Completely new and unused as Alexis died, but in her final moments, Alexis activated a secondary mutation that allowed her to read minds. She was able to read the minds of Shay, Ren, Hendrix, Andre, and Tyler simultaneously but in perfect order and without overload. She could decipher the thoughts individually and understand who was saying what and why, even going so far as to see their memories. However, this all occurred briefly, and she died shortly after that.

### Abilities

* **Gifted Alchemist:** As stated, Alexis was an extremely gifted alchemist who expressed interest in how it works. She began to utilize alchemy without using magic but used it - in conjunction with her abilities - to simulate what others would consider "magic." She was able to change lead into gold, she has shown the ability to transmute objects into other objects with technology, and she even showcased a unique and scary understanding of properties, almost like an encyclopedia of knowledge about the properties of various things.

## Paraphernalia

### Equipment

* **The Alchemist Computer:** Built entirely by hand, Alexis had a supercomputer linked to all forms of communication with Hooligans, The Wild Pack, and others. The computer was primarily based inside Dawn Studios, except for a laptop version she carried with her. The computer was military-grade, encrypted with a bio-print scanner, and could only be unlocked by the scanner or a thumb drive worn on Alexis' neck. The computer housed several files on many individuals and was often the source of how Hooligans were able to defeat villains, stop coming threats, and monitor the city. However, after Alexis died, the computer unnaturally turned off and locked itself down so that not even the monitors would turn on. It has been collecting dust in Hooligans HQ within Dawn Studios ever since.

## Notes

* Alexis May (Earth-30), and by extension, Donuts exist outside of mainstream Marvel Universe continuity. Themselves, their stories, and other characters are unrelated and not connected to the Marvel Multiverse and exist within solely within The Donuts Multiverse.

## Trivia

* Alexis and Jane - arguably - never got along, even before romantic feelings came into the picture. They've just always never liked each other.
* Alexis considers Ren to be her real sister, and often states that her mother would've like Ren.
* Alexis was actually the reason why Patrick got Shay his White Cement IV's as Alexis gave Patrick the recommendation.
* One of the last things Alexis did before she died was input Patrick's dog tags as a way for Shay to access The Alchemist Computer, but she was never able to tell him.
