**Background**: Alex was born on July 19 1991 to Magistratus rank Plumber Aiden Macgrath and Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. Yaroslava Nikolayevna who were themselves members of the prestigious Macgrath and Nikolayevna families of America and Russia, respectively. He was born as the middle child of one of the largest, oldest, wealthiest and legendary family of known highly trained assassins, spies and thieves, the Nikolayevnas on his mother's side. And on his father's side, the Macgraths, an ancient bloodline of pure-blooded warriors of highly-effective mercenaries, bounty hunters, and hunters. Alex comes from the most noble blood there is. Before his birth and even his parent's marriage, the Nikolayevnas and the Macgraths have been sworn enemies, fighting a recondite shadow war for more than two millennia across the world, a conflict so intractable and immemorial that it is often thought to have instead spanned the entirety of recorded human history. The Nikolayevnas have been fighting the Macgraths for two millennia, a rivalry that traces back to the days of Dante and his best friend, Asura. When the Princess was dying, she selected Asura as her successor, believing Asura's desire for peace through love was better than Dante's peace through power. Dante, driven by his Nikolayevna madness, fought Asura to claim what he believed was his birthright. The Nikolayevnas and Macgraths, descendants of Dante and Asura respectively, continued their battle through the centuries, though none still remembered this reason for their conflict. Both families have at various points in human history played a major role as legendary warriors and assassins. Because of this, he has an incredible intellect, superhuman strength, and powerful prowess. These two bloods mixed together gave birth to a child with astounding capabilities, which allowed Alex to draw a lot of attention from both families. Alex's father, Aiden Macgrath, planned to genetically enhance his son before birth to make him have superhuman abilities, thus turning him into perfect soldiers and assassins in the future. From a young age, he was disdained by his father, an animosity that began shortly after his birth. As the infant seemed to lack the "spark in [his] eyes" that is typical for most members of the family, the royal elders was unsure if Alex was a warrior or assassin at all. Aiden, viewing a nonfighter as a child as "shame", planned to cast his son over the walls. Only when the Elders of both families intervened did Aiden give his newborn son a chance. Later on, it turned out that Alex had the spark in his eyes, and peace returned to the young family. They named him after his paternal grandfather, Alexander Macgrath in the hopes that he would someday be just as strong of a warrior. Using a modified copy of his parents genome, Alex was genetically engineered to be a specimen of human perfection. Everything, from his intelligence, physical constitution, to his appearance were designed before birth to be excellent. Upon his birth, he was placed inside of an artificial womb where he would be experimented on by both families, developing accelerated speed, reflexes, enhanced agility, intensified endurance, advanced physical strength, and mental capabilities, forcing his infant body to adjust to the enhancements he was forced to undergo. Aiden revealed to his son at a young age that he had endowed his body with genetic enhancements and his plan to Alex to lead their family in the future, and began training him to capitalize on his genetic potential. Also, they cut him off from the outside world, only exposing him to anything or anyone other than them when absolutely necessary. Showing great promise from birth and trained by his family to be the ultimate weapon, Alex followed the traditional Nikolayevna training, which was imparted to him by his mother's side of the family. He went through a harsh and bitter course of training that left him either dead or at the peak of human physical condition, so much so that he rarely feel pain itself. He had already mastered many killing techniques at a tender age and was set to be one of the best assassins the family had ever produced. At the age of three, he started training in tailing that routinely put his life at risk. Under the Nikolayevna family supervision, they pushed him beyond the heights of mental and physical perfection, and Alex was trained as an assassin and learned skills including martial arts, firearms and other weaponry, military hardware, tactical driving, infiltration, escapology, thievery, the art of deception, tactical skills, outdoors skills, stealth, the use of disguises, espionage, manipulation, evasion, hacking, swordsmanship, archery, freerunning, eavesdropping, lockpicking, pickpocketing, assassination, counterintelligence, counterinsurgency, guerrilla warfare, reconnaissance, infiltration, interrogation, multilingualism, discipline, other unconventional warfare fields, big cons, social engineering, psychology, intimidation tactics, studying of the human body, speech, light armor, breaking into security systems, car jacking, gaining an 'advantageous purchase', killing in both the quickest and most discreet methods or the most painful and drawn out ways, and the use of more classical tools of assassination like the infamous fiber wire and sniper rifle, among many other disciplines. He is versed with how police, fire departments and various government agencies (FBI, CDC) typically operate and conduct investigations, and know how to both impersonate and evade them effectively. He is also trained to be able to escape from any prison. He was taken through the handling of ninja weapons and tools, like shuriken and kunai, learning how to throw and wield them through target practice, as well as instructed on the basics of trap-setting. He was taught about other cultures and how skills such as flower arranging will help him to blend in during an infiltration mission. During his training, he was noted for his exceptional marksmanship, as well as for attacking the staff with homemade slingshots, all of which were promptly confiscated. He also shot smiley faces into targets when he was bored. This is one of the only possible examples of Alex being exposed to pop culture, although all of cousins were sufficiently educated about the outside world by using traditional school textbooks. Alex's mother, Yaroslava Nikolayevna made sure that he had the most advanced training equipment around. She has provided him with the best martial arts teachers, personal gym trainers, and sports equipment that money can buy. He trained with the best self-defense teachers in the city to ensure he would be ahead of his peers. As a result of the training he had received in his childhood, Alex can wield any weapon with ease on a mission, and can improvise and use common tools with deadly precision. The Nikolayevnas spent their entire lives training to kill. From an early age, they were taught to observe their surroundings and plan ahead. Combat skills were essential and focused on bladed weaponry. However, the most important consideration in the Nikolayevnas training was concealment. Stealth was the greatest weapon of the Nikolayevna family, and everything about their lives emphasized a devotion to it. It was essential for an Nikolayevna to be able to reach their target unnoticed and then slip back into the crowd after they had struck. Another significant focus of an Nikolayevna's training was maneuverability. By the time an Nikolayevna reached the rank of Master Assassin, they were also a master of freerunning, an early form of parkour extensively utilized by the Nikolayevna family. Widely seen as alien by the general populace, this method of movement allowed the Nikolayevna to reach areas not otherwise accessible. Freerunning gave the Nikolayevna a significant advantage over nearly all of their enemies and city guards, and could be used to traverse crowded urban environments quickly and efficiently. As a result of his training, Alex became a Master Assassin at age 8, an accomplishment unheard of for one so young. Under the Macgrath's family supervision, Alex was taught Advanced Weapons Training, SCUBA Training, SAO Qualification, SQT Training, HAHO and HALO Training, Krav Maga Training, Center Axis Relock Training, Tactical Swimming, Close Quarters Combat, Applied Explosive Technique, Rapid Assault, Dynamic Entry, Counter Surveillance, Evasive and Anti-Terrorist Driving Technique, Parkour (Free Running), Covert Communication, Computer Hacking, Surreptitious Entry, Military Free-Fall Parachuting, Edged Weapons, Precise Application of Lethal Force, Urban Sniping, Unarmed Combat, Threat Elimination, Structure Penetration, Covert Influence Operations, Support and Recruitment of HUMINT assets, Interrogation, Interrogation Resistance, Reconnaissance, Extreme Environment Survival, Field Medicine, Foreign languages, Foreign geography, Knowledge of world events, Advanced technology, Medical procedures, Detonation operations, Stealth communication, Foreign weaponry, Mental recovery, concentration, endurance, self-control and the fortitude to overcome difficult situations, Recognizing and making decisions in emergency situations, Battlefield survival, Guard patrol, Mountaineering, Hand-to-hand combat, Border infiltration, Guerrilla warfare, Land navigation, Map-reading, Escape and evasion, Combat medical skills, Rebelling and Ranger practice, Weapons familiarization, Nautical vehicle control and navigation, Diving and underwater infiltration, Canoeing, Basic military parachute skills, Intelligence gathering, Language and customs of the destination country, Stealth techniques, Improvised explosive devices, Utilization of high-tech equipment, Communications, intelligence gathering, escape arts, assassination, demolition, survival tactics, hunting, swimming, march or drill skills, map making, map reading, decoding cipher and other secret code messages, reading and making wood craft signs and other secret code languages, disguising, computers, explosives, communication systems, Block, Heavy Armor, One-Handed, Smithing, Two-Handed, vehicles and electronic appliances used in armed forces. and as well as the ability to pilot all sorts of vehicles and aircraft. He began training in military and survival skills under the tutelage of his father, typically at the age of two years old. He grew up with his cousins, and ate, trained, and slept next to each other, creating strong bonds. He was trained in target shooting, close-quarters combat (martial arts and possibly other techniques) and vehicular expertise. He is also trained to move quickly and is desensitized to combat; an example would be Alex's training, who had a gun placed to his head by a droid and was ordered to kill the droid before it killed him. Alex was subjected to this training at age five. Due to his training, he can control his senses and nervous system to a remarkable degree, and can consequently endure pain that would kill an ordinary man. He can also think and react at lightning speeds. Memory training is an important part of Macgrath training, too. He has develop a photographic memory. Alex went through painful accelerated growth before reaching maturity, all while enduring nonstop training, simulations, and testing. Endless mental and physical drills bled into Alex's "training," where he participated in sports and games that resembled battle situations. Macgrath training was very rapid, and his learning consisted of intense classes that used screens and focus-enhancing helmets to help him memorize information that might have one day been useful on the battlefield. He also underwent simulated obstacle courses in the training compound, which were designed to test his strength, agility, reflexes and intelligence. During his training, Alex was often pitted against his cousins during combat sessions. He was also trained in live-fire exercises, giving him a sense of the reality of combat at a very young age. After that he began simulated battles with training droids. He received training in the basic skills of a military officer such as marksmanship or sharpshooting, weapons and vehicle training, and he received commanding training. Due to his prodigious talent, he received training in areas others did not to prepare his cousins. An example is that he would be trained to fly a ship, and he would be trained to treat medical injuries. He also experienced near-death torture to train him in resisting interrogation, and he was left mentally scarred from the experience. Alex trained with his cousins from both families under the supervision of Aiden Macgrath, his father, which proved to be extremely intense, often scaring him. Aiden's methods were too harsh, pushing Alex to his limits until he got sick. Aiden's methods were rigorous and impersonal, constantly belittling Alex for not living up to his high standards, often comparing him to his older brother, Delsin. Aiden explained the concept of an "Achilles' heel" to Alex. He was also instructed to always be wary of their enemies and his father teaching the young Alex to remember that: "a Macgrath never lets his back hit the ground." His father was not a kind guardian and his brutal training methods bordered on torture. He taught Alex to draw on his emotions for power, while giving him training in only the basics before forcing his son to develop his own methods through sparring matches and brutal tests. Alex was provided with a martial arts-training holodroid, PROXY, who was capable of credibly imitating martial artist and programmed to regularly attack Alex with lethal intent to keep him sharp; another brutal training regimen devised by his father. Young Macgraths began training in military and survival skills under the tutelage of a parent, typically at the age of 3 years old. The training lasted until the child reached the age of thirteen, at which time they were tested on their acquired skills in fighting and surviving with the rite of passage. Upon passing the trial of the rite of passage, the Macgrath was considered legally an adult, and had earned equal treatment in Macgrath society. It was customary for fellow Macgrath to share a drink with and toast the new Macgrath adult upon the completion of their rite of passage. Before a Macgrath begins hunting, they first spends weeks learning hand-to-hand combat. They then learn simple blade combat. This basic training is taught by experienced older members of Blooded rank or higher. The neophyte Macgrath is expected to attack the seasoned Macgrath armed with nothing but their bare hands, Cloak, bio-helmet, and Wrist Blades. Presumably, they are to keep training until their teacher is satisfied with their progress. Not all un-Blooded Macgraths make it out of this stage alive; training can be deadly to unqualified and inexperienced youngsters. However, it is known that particularly disobedient students may be hurt for stepping too far out of line, at the Teacher's discretion. A large part of training is humbling the would-be hunters and shaping their natural bloodlust into something more refined and deadly. As a result of his training, Alex passed the traditional rite of passage of the Macgrath family at age 10, an accomplishment unheard of for someone so young. From an early age, he was taught by his mother to observe his surroundings and plan ahead as well as to repress all his emotions and become a hardened, skilled killer. Alex was instructed by private tutors on all manners of subjects, both academics and artistic such as reading, writing, mathematics, science, geography, etc. By night, he was schooled in the ways of Assassins by masters within the Nikolayevna family. When he was not being taught, Alex was given every luxury as he had a retinue of servants devoted to his care and his wishes. So in his off time, Alex did what he wanted and got what he wanted, whenever he wanted. For all intents and purposes, Alex was the prince of the Macgrath and Nikolayevna families. Alex was "royalty" as he was the son of two powerful family leaders. He was raised in a massive mansion called the Macgrath manor on the outskirts of Gotham City. Alex was brought up in the Macgrath Manor and its wealthy splendor and lead a happy and privileged existence. Alex had an idyllic childhood due to his family's fortune and the love supplied by his parents. Growing up, he would be sat down on the floor of Macgrath Manor's entrance room by his father, who told him that despite the manor itself being built on railways, real estates, and oil, the first generation of Macgraths made their fortune as hunters, trading pelts and skins with the French. Alex's parents celebrated his third birthday by going camping in a forest. Alex's family made frequent vacations to Hawaii in the following years, and Alex would later consider this time the only one when his family was "actually normal". When he was four, Alex saw a hawk attacking a turtle while playing at the beach. He immediately rushed to rescue the turtle, feeling the urge to help the weak. However, when he had the animal safely in his arms, Alex realized that the hawk would die of hunger without its prey. Unsure which side he should take, he was eventually surprised by a wave and carried out into the ocean. Alex almost drowned before he was saved by his father. The little boy spent the remainder of the day in the care of his mother, recovering from the experience while vomiting sea-water and comforted his son by telling him that though people fall, they always have the strength to get up. Nevertheless, Alex happily recalled these memories many years later. Growing up, Alex had issues with Aiden, who never told his son that he loved, or even liked him. Since Alex was so young, Aiden could not tell his son his plans for him. Aiden constantly talked about his admiration for his older son Delsin, which caused Alex to develop hatred and resentment towards his older brother. On one occasion, a young Alex was playing with a remote control car when he accidentally drove the tiny toy into Aiden's foot. Aiden slapped it out of his hand in a fit of rage and told him to not have him deal with any nonsense. Alex ran outside and repeated that he wanted to go back to home. His butler, Winston Cosworth, comforted him, saying that a father and son relationship is difficult to maneuver from both sides. On another, his father scolded him for playing with his toys on the Macgrath Expo map during Aiden's filming of the advertisement. However, Alex had a loving relationship with his mother, who was more gentle and nurturing; he enjoyed hearing Yaroslava play the piano. In order to toughen his son, Aiden decides to take Alex out training in the wilderness at age seven, much to Yaroslava's dismay. He leaves Alex alone to survive against animals and other dangers for six months, though during this time he watches Alex carefully. For the rest of the year, Aiden shows no mercy as he teaches Alex how to fight. In the following months, Alex learned of discipline of body and strength of character as Aiden intended, while spending his free time reading alone or training. However, Alex's gifts were a burden growing up. Despite his accomplishments, Alex's perfectionist father never showed approval or pride towards his son. He always expected more and better from him, forever chiding him to be greater than he already was. He also imposed a very strict lifestyle on Alex, and forbade him from making friends and having a social life. In contrast to his dysfunctional relationship to his family, Alex developed a close relationship with his older brother Delsin. When he was still very young, Delsin entertained him with his knife throwing skills. Later, whenever he returned from a mission and visited the Manor, Delsin taught his little brother chess tricks, went with him to celebrations like the Gotham Festival, and the two would sometimes sneak into the kitchen to steal snacks. In this regard, their favorite dish was hamburgers. He and his brother climbed a tree and ate oranges, while his mother sang to herself while building a fire. Alex and his father had a yearly tradition of taking a hike, placing rocks at the top of a peak, and watching the sunrise in the morning. Whenever he gets scared, his mother would stay with him and read to him until he fell asleep. On his fifth birthday, the whole family from both sides came over to celebrate, but Alex was off outside on his own, obsessed with the bright red wagon that his father gave him as a present. He spent the whole day in the garden collecting rocks with his wagon, and when he was asked by Delsin what he was going to do with them. Alex told him "I'm gonna build a home for my wagon, a secret place, that only I know about". One day, he rowed his boat in the middle of a storm and it greatly frightened his father and mother. When he came back, his mother cried tears of joy and hugged him. One thing about Alex's childhood that annoyed him was the nanny who cared for him until he was eight. Although the only child in the house, his loneliness eventually changed during his sixth birthday, when his parents brought in other children for him to befriend, but most spent his party running around and yelling. This left Alex in a best friendship with the only well-behaved child among them, Cassandra Bloodwitch, who was the daughter of Aiden's friend and fellow Plumber, Nigel Bloodwitch. Despite having play dates with the other kid over the next three months, he secretly wished to stay away from some except Cassandra, who was the friend he saw the most. When he was seven, one night while in the car with his mother and sister, Yaroslava's car tires were shot by Hydra agents. The car lost control, and shortly after, rolled upside-down. This killed his little sister, Claire Macgrath, and set his parents out for revenge. While on vacation to forget about these events, the Macgrath Family butler, James Cosworth was killed by one of the Court of Owls' Talons. A letter he'd written to his Winston, warning him away from the beleaguered Macgrath family, was never delivered. As such, Winston-who was a S.H.I.E.L.D agent at the time and a military medic before that, traveled to Gotham City to take up his father's place, serving the Macgraths as butler. Genetically perfected and grown in an artificial womb to be the perfect warrior, Alex was intended to be a formidable warrior. Raised by two powerful families, Alex became a talented martial artist by the time he was a pre-teen. Alex became a skilled fighter by an early age. As a result of his mental and physical training, Alex rose as one of the greatest members of both families. Coupled by his innate talent for the art and his lineage, Alex became a respected member of his family, but still vastly inferior to his older brother. At the age of eight, he was forced by Aiden to battle in the martial arts tournament at an underground arena until he reached the 200th floor, after which he was allowed to return home. It took him two weeks to reach the 150th floor, and a total of two months to get to the 200th. When he was nine, he mastered the game of darts as part of basic training. Around the age of nine, he met and attempted to befriend the newly hired Rey. She thanked him for the thought, but, due to their different status, she declined his offer to be friends. At an unknown point in his life, his family determined he lacked the mindset of a real assassin and Yaroslava implant a special needle in his head to subliminally remodel his character through fear. Sick of killing, he rebelled against his family, injuring the butlers and servants, and ran away from home but was quickly stopped by Delsin. By that time, he had already assassinated more people than some members of the family combined. He later entered Anders Preparatory Academy. At school, Alex was a model student: the vice president of the elementary student council, the star at sports meetings, and winning independent research awards, poetry awards, slogan awards, and participating in essay contests. This, combined with his good looks and a respectable family, made him well known, especially with his female classmates. However, Alex was not particularly loved or hated since he went through school life in a withdrawn state, preferring to observe everything from afar, carrying out his father's philosophy to be 'neither too close nor too far' from the others. During afternoon breaks and such, other students would talk in the classroom or play in the courtyard, but since Alex would always be in the library, he gave people the impression that he was a loner. But Alex enjoyed being a step away from his surroundings. He knew he was a top student and thought the people around him were idiots and did look down on them. The other boys always looked up to Alex because of his energy, confidence, and natural-born talents (shown by his ability to juggle a football, read as well as making a stone skip seven times on water as an ten year old; he was the type who could do anything he tried his hand at). Because of this praise, Alex developed a rather arrogant and self-inflated view of himself. Alex always admired Batman when he was young because the number one hero would always win against the odds. While watching a video of him at the electronics store, Alex tells his friends that Batman is the greatest hero because of his ability to achieve victory without having powers. Sometime later, Alex defeated a few eighth graders, as a fifth-grader, who bumped into him. With Delsin looking on, Alex says that the most amazing hero always wins no matter what. Alex grew up in the shadow of his older brother, Delsin, a natural prodigy who many in the family would constantly compare Alex and any of his accomplishments to. Alex himself adored Delsin, never passing up an opportunity to spend time with him. Although Delsin welcomed his company, letting Alex watch him train and taking him on adventures into the forests, Delsin in return rarely helped Alex himself become a better student; when asked, he would often instead poke Alex's forehead and promise to do so some other time. Alex found this annoying, but didn't allow it to blemish his high opinion of his brother. On entering the Anders Preparatory Academy, Alex proved to be the standout of his class, consistently getting top grades. However, he could never meet the same milestones Delsin had set, resulting in their father paying Alex little attention. Aware of this neglect, Delsin, despite being increasingly busy, tried to stand in for their father by giving Alex the recognition he craved, at times even blackmailing Aiden to spend time with Alex. As time went on, Delsin started becoming distant with and cold towards their family, culminating in a falling out with much of the family their suspicion that he'd killed his cousin, Marcus Macgrath. Alex did not understand the reason for this, but he didn't mind the side-effect: his father began taking an interest in his development. Aiden taught Alex how to throw Ninja stars and Kunai's, which he mastered in a week. Aiden stated his pride in Alex for this accomplishment, but at the same time encouraged him not to follow in Delsin's footsteps. One day, Alex and Delsin decided to go out and train in the forest until nightfall. With that, Delsin remarked it was getting late and they should return back home. Alex agreed until he looked up at the sky and saw a shooting star and heard a massive bang as it crashed not too far from where they were. Curious, he ran to the site with his brother chasing after him, worried for his little brother's safety and stumble upon the crash site and saw a circular shell. It opened and it revealed an watch like device. Delsin warned Alex to stay away from it but he decided to grab it anyway, when suddenly, it latched to his wrist, causing him to fall down on his back. He screamed and tried everything to take it off, but no avail. Delsin quickly ran to Alex and ask what happened to him. Alex then explained that the watch-like device jumped onto his wrist and Delsin was shocked when he saw it. He said that is the Omnitrix which confused Alex. Delsin then explained that the Omnitrix is a portable library of intergalactic genetic data that allowed the wielder to alter their DNA at will and transform into a variety of different alien species, each with their own unique abilities. This caught Alex's interest as he started to tinker with it, which Delsin warned him that they should wait until their father comes back home and figure out how to take it off. He ignored his brother's warning and accidentally transformed into a Kineceleran. Alex discovered he can move faster than before as he ran 5 miles less then 3 seconds. Shocked, Delsin told him to stop and don't do anything until maybe it times out. After 10 minutes, the Omnitrix timed out, forcing Alex to turn back to normal. Delsin remarked it was on a 10 minute time limit and they should figure something out to remove the device. Suddenly, a massive explosion can be heard a few miles east. They both ran to the source of the explosion while concealing themselves in the trees and saw a giant robot destroying everything. Looking at his younger brother, Delsin said he could put that watch to good use and stop the robot which Alex happily agreed. He transformed into a Tetramand and quickly dispatch the robot, only for the people to run in fear due to his appearance. Once back at home, the brothers were confronted by their father Aiden Macgrath, who was waiting for them at the entrance. Alex and Delsin tried to explain what happened but Aiden said the Omnitrix cannot be removed by normal means and it was, in fact, meant for him to wield instead of Alex and is the only one besides Azmuth who can use it at its full power. However, he was impressed on how he used the Omnitrix despite his inexperience and said he can keep it as long as he uses it responsibility. In the coming of weeks after discovering the Omnitrix, Delsin began to train his little brother with it, discovering it has ten alien forms at his disposal, his parents decided that Alex can go with his older brother on Plumber missions and gain experience with the Omnitrix against various threats. His childhood bestfriend Cassandra Blooodwitch would join the brothers as well. Though he occasionally arrested ordinary criminals, he was quickly led to also fight super-villains, starting with Dr. Animo, Kevin 11, Court of Owls, Deathstroke, A.I.M. and ultimately, Vilgax, a vicious and evil alien warlord who would stop at nothing to get the Omnitrix for himself. Despite being very arrogance and occasionally using the Omnitrix for minor selfish purposes, Alex proved to be a valuable wearer for the Omnitrix, defeating villains and saving people several times. As time progressed, an unknown figured soon discovered the Omnitrix had been taken by someone else (though aware of exactly who it was) and made several indirect attempts to get the device back. This includes sending various droids, hiring bounty hunters (Tetrax Shard, Kraab, and SixSix), and controlling Rojo to do the job when she fused with one of his Mechadroids. With the latter, he was able to shortly establish a telepathic link with Alex when the boy was fused to Rojo as Upgrade, warning him he was going to come for him one day. During a battle with Dr. Animo, he damaged the Omnitrix which activated the Omnitrix's self-destruct and rushed off with Delsin and Tetrax Shard to find the Omnitrix's creator. He was joined by Myaxx and later learned that the countdown sped up when he transformed. He learned he could be a hero without the Omnitrix. Alex then discovered the creator of the Omnitrix, who was really a Galvan named Azmuth. Azmuth shut down the self-destruct and gave Ben access to a new alien, a massive form named Way Big. With Way Big, Alex easily defeated a Droid army and hurled SixSix into space. A few weeks later, Delsin was away on a mission while Alex was eating dinner with his family. The family was interrupted by Phil Billing's entering the dining room with news that Delsin has died in battle which shocked everyone. A month after sudden Delsin's death, Alex was training out in the in the woods until he saw a large spaceship hovering the forest. A large figure jumps out spaceship and crashes in front of Alex, revealing himself to be Vilgax, the who was thought to have been killed by his father. Despite his years of training and experience with the Omnitrix, Alex's aliens proved to be no match for him, and Vilgax captured him. Though surprised to see the one who had caused him so many problems was not just a human child, but the son of the man who defeated him many years ago. Vilgax revealed his plan for the Omnitrix to Alex and attempted to extract the Omnitrix from him. After several complications, including interruption from Yaroslava and Aiden and Alex losing control of his transformations, the Chimeran Hammer exploded. After landing on the ground, Alex and Yaroslava quickly went to work fighting off Vilgax's droids in tandem . When Vilgax stepped in, Aiden met the warlord's laser eyes with his Plumber shield. However, he was overpowered by Vilgax. Aiden initially did not move after this proclamation, and he asked Alex if he had been a good father, which Alex resolutely affirmed. Alex and Yaroslava then ran off, but Vilgax stepped in, saying that Aiden was a failure and his family were scum and cowards. Angered at Vilgax's statements about his family, Aiden went back and attacked him, but was overwhelmed due to Vilgax's cybernetically enhancement. Vilgax then ambushed an unsuspecting Alex with the intention to kill him, and Aiden and Yaroslava stepped in front of the Warlord and used their bodies to shield him, whose fist went through their torso and hitting their vital organs in the process. The dying Aiden and Yaroslava fell into Alex's arms. Yaroslava told Aiden how much she loved him and gave him her best advice for the future, her final act in this world filling her son with as much of her love as possible. Aiden, on the other hand, apologizing to his son due how he treated him and he only regretted that he would not be able to see Alex became stronger. After this, they fell to the ground and passed away shortly after as he kneeled over his parent's dead bodies, Alex suffered a complete mental breakdown. Before leaving, Vilgax encouraged Alex to hate him, to desire revenge, and to gain power from that because he will return to take the Omnitrix from him. Alex was left screaming over his parent's lifeless bodies and fell into a catatonic state which left him unable to respond to the world around him. When S.H.I.E.l.D. and the Plumbers arrived on the scene, they found his body and he was sent to the Heilcarrier to have his injuries treated. After two weeks of recovering from his injuries, Alex awakens in S.H.I.E.L.D. HQ and goes on a rampage blindly asking where his parents is. After remembering their deaths little by little, while still destroying everything around him, he stops for a moment as Winston tries to explain to him that the battle is over and Aiden and Yaroslava is dead. Alex states he has realized that it wasn't a dream by pinching his arm very hard and starts to finally cry and mourn over his loss. While weeping, he thinks back to when he was a child. After the flashback, he begins to doubt his abilities and starts to think about how he could possibly defeat Vilgax if he is too weak. Alex was comforted by Nick Fury and Phil Billings, who promised to find Vilgax and bring him to justice. Alex was then taken home by his family's butler, Winston Cosworth. From then on, Alex was raised by the Macgrath's family's bodyguard, Winston Cosworth. Alex, now one of the last surviving member of his family, was alone. He spent the first few days wandering his family's destroyed home, reflecting on the family who were now gone, killed by Vilgax. Alex blames himself for his parents' murder: had he not been frightened, his parents would not have killed by Vilgax, though Winston assured him it was no one's fault but Vilgax's. Some say that Alex died that night with his parents and he later stated that the incident marked the end of his childhood. During the funeral for his parents, Alex, overcome with grief, broke away from the service. As he ran, he stumbled across a decrepit area of the estate and fell into a cavern filled with numerous bats. This would later inspire him to use that fear to battle the criminal elements that took his parents' lives. Shortly after their deaths, Alex became obsessed with using toy guns and killing Vilgax who murdered his parents. Because of this, Winston sent Alex to an Arkham boys' rehabilitation home upstate where he first met Kevin Levin. The boys became good friends but wouldn't realize their identities until years later. Alex attended Gotham Academy. It was there that he made some friends, but his psychological issues with his parents' deaths ultimately led to the end of their relationship. One day, he was asked by a professor to answer a problem involving a projectile being fired at a target. This triggered Alex to answer the question by burning the answer on the professor's front yard. Alex was later expelled from Gotham Academy and began attending Roxbury Fielding Academy. A month after the death of his parents, at the age of ten, he inherited Macgrath Enterprises and Nikolayevna Industries, becoming the youngest CEO of a Fortune 500 company in history. However, the executives and shareholders of Macgrath Enterprises and Nikolayevna Industries took everything from his will due to his young age and sent Alex to a Catholic orphanage ran by nuns and priests. For a short while, Elkin Zinoviy Antonovich took over as interim CEO of Nikolayevna Industries. One day he got in a fight one day with an older boy by the name of Brad after the latter teased him by grabbing one of his books and insulting his parentage, leading to Alex being suspended from a retreat with the rest of the orphanage. After receiving a harsh lecture from Sister Mary, Alex attempted to commit suicide with a razor blade. However, just before he went through with it, he realized that this wasn't what his parents would want, and it was at that moment Alex vowed to spend the rest of his life warring against Vilgax. Alex became obsessed with the search for meaning in the loss of his family. He thought perhaps the mythical Court of Owls was responsible, but he never found anything to prove it. Alex decided to do what Vilgax had warned and dedicated his life to vengeance, having no other interest than bringing about Vilgax’s death. He threw himself into his studies at school, making no efforts to form friendships and ignoring all of the girls' attempts to gain his affection. Alex soon unlocked an Osmosian transformation and absorbed a gold chain from his mother's old jewelry box to turn his body into gold and makes a lot of bars of gold to make enough money to survive. He also obtained large sums of money both from drug lords hidden stashes of money and by extorting local mob bosses and contacts using his knowledge of their criminal activities. Not content with his current situation, he dropped out of the Academy and ran away from the orphanage. His family's training proved to be useful, as he was able to outrun and avoid the Plumbers and S.H.I.E.L.D agents who had pursued after him. Leaving the orphanage at the age of 10, he used his money to travel the world in order to develop the skills he would need to kill Vilgax. He started travelling around the world with his money, training to himself intellectual and physical perfection and learning a variety of crime-fighting skills, including chemistry, criminology, forensics, martial arts, gymnastics, disguise, invention, computers, escape artistry, tracking, acrobatics, weapons, and marksmanship to name a few. At age 10, and fueled by the loss of his parents, Alex Macgrath began his global sojourn, attending courses at Cambridge, the Sorbonne, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Berlin School of Science and other European universities, only taking subjects that suited him and his plan. However, he never stayed long and would often drop out after one semester. During this period, he learned speed reading, lip reading, and developed total recall. Alex attended Phillips Academy in Andover for a one semester. While he was in high school, Alex hacked into the Pentagon on a dare by some friends. He was admitted early into Massachusetts Institute of Technology due to an undergraduate program. At Cambridge University in England, he would effortlessly graduate as class valedictorian with double majors in physics and engineering. At age 11, Alex won the 4th Annual MIT Robot Design Award, which was his fourth consecutive time winning, after inventing robots. Alex graduated at the top of his class from MIT and was awarded summa cum laude. Around this time, Alex met Dr. Ted Slaght during a symposium. The physicist became a mentor to Alex, and taught him values beyond the importance of science, like the significance of guiding the search for knowledge with an ethical compass, and carrying an open mind. The stories of Arthurian legends opened Alex the doors to a new world of dedication to a cause greater than oneself, of chivalry, honor, and armored heroes. While abroad, he studied and received training in multiple martial art styles from various instructors in different countries. He began in Paris, briefly training with the world's best fencer; he would best said swordsperson after two weeks of training. Some time later, Alex encountered the Grey Shadow, a French cat burglar of high renown. Though he initially intended to turn the Shadow in, after some conversation and consideration (and no small amount of teasing), he became her protégé. Moments later, the pair would be interrupted by notorious manhunter Henri Ducard, who was hired by Winston Cosworth to track Alex down. The trio worked together to take down the Foundling. They were successful, but the confrontation resulted in Henri becoming hospitalized. For his own good, the Shadow fired Alex, though they parted amicably; Alex then approached Henri, seeking to learn the art of manhunting from the prolific manhunter; he accepted, and Alex became his assistant. Under Henri Ducard's teachings, he taught Alex tracking and how to think like a criminal. He learnt man-hunting from Frenchman Henri Ducard, stealth and reconnaissance under the Japanese ninja Kirigi and other certified shinobi, hunting under the African Bushman (the Ghost Tribes of the Ten-Eyed Brotherhood, among others), hand-to hand combat under the tutelage of Ted Grant, a world-champion boxer and David Cain, one of the world's premier assassins; traditional healing disciplines under Nepalese monks and even ventriloquism under skilled practitioners. Alex also trained with Chu Chin Li and Tsunemoto in martial arts. He was trained in kung fu by Richard Dragon. He was also trained in archery by Oliver Queen. At the age of 12, Alex was trained by detective Harvey Harris to improve his detective skills. Dan Mallory and Harry Harvey taught to sharpen his mind and detective skills. Later, in Tokyo Japan, Alex would train under Yakuza Assassin Tsunmento. Tsunmento taught Alex how to to heal himself, and predict his opponents moves along with controlling his body with specific amounts of sleep. Under Chu Chin Li's tutelage, Alex mastered several forms of Kung-Fu, and became Chun Lis best student since Bruce Wayne. In China, he trained under H’sein Tsan who taught him the secret arts, although he didn’t quite get Taoism. While under David Cain's wing, he mastered more martial arts from Cain or in other words he “learned a new language” but he does not use the killing techniques that Cain taught him unless necessary. Alex trained with a bounty hunter Willie Doggett, when Alex and Willie were tracking a target, Willie was killed and Alex managed to fight off the target by throwing him over a cliff, along with his parka. Luckily Alex was rescued by a shaman and survived. Next, he went to Tibet where he trained in martial arts and sword fighting under Shaolin monks. He was 12 when he started training, and, at the time, his sensei mocked him, saying he was just a "little rich boy wasting daddy's money". Two years weeks, however, he had far exceeded his expectations and he had nothing else to teach him, so he told him about the Chaste, a group of warriors led by the mysterious Stick who studied and trained to master the art of combat. A few months later, he managed to find Stick and become his pupil. Alex received training from the ninja master and member of the Chaste, Stick. From Stick, Alex learned how to control his senses and honed his skills in acrobatics and martial arts. Stick began a harsh training regime with Alex, often pushing an emotional response from him to teach him to control his anger. Over the next few weeks, Alex became a powerful fighter with almost complete control of his senses. Combat lessons with Stick often involved Alex fighting three grown men at the same time at the young age of twelve, although he would be able to take on the opponents with general ease, using speed to his advantage as he avoided their blows and counter punched until he would subdue them. Stick watched as he trained with other members of the Chaste to proved himself to be a remarkable fighter, able to beat multiple opponents singlehandedly but he deemed him too angry and abandoned him. Nonetheless, he kept training and caught the attention of The Hand, more specifically a young woman named Aka. Unlike Stick, Aka listened to Alex and pretended to care for him, thus gaining his loyalty. He soon discovered an old man who performed at Haly's Circus, who took him in and trained him to become an escape artist. Over that summer, he could pick any lock that you could throw at him. By age 12, he knew fourteen different ways to escape from a straitjacket. At the age of 13, he learned how to race cars in life-or-death situations from Brazilian criminal, Don Miguel. While there, his break-lines were cut, an action he later suspected was the handiwork of his cohort. Alex himself tricked Don Miguel into getting captured by police during his final lesson. Alex was apprehended in Moscow after staking out an FSB office trying to locate Avery Oblonsky, an ex-KGB freelance operative and held in prison for fourteen days. During his escape from imprisonment, it was revealed that the warden who had been keeping them captive was, in fact, a disguised Oblonsky, who agreed to train him in the art of disguise and manipulation. In the process, Alex's true identity was revealed to Danny. After training with Oblonsky, Alex travelled to the wilds of northern British Columbia, hunting down the world's greatest marksman, Luka Jungo, also known as "The Swiss Mark". He trained under Luka for several months. In the process, Luka made him that he would swear to never use firearms against other people. Luka, unsettled by Alex's behavior, confronted him, proclaiming him a killer. The confrontation resulted in Luka's death at Alex's hands in self defense. He was also trained in stealth by an unnamed master in the Hida Mountains, in Japan. During his training in Japan, Alex became enemies with fellow student Kyodai Ken when the latter was kicked out for trying to steal Yoru's sword. The two would meet again years later, in which Kyodai would acknowledge him as a worthy adversary. At age 14, Alex studied the ins and outs of technological gadgetry under the guidance of the brilliant inventor, Sergei Alexandrov. Sergei Alexandrov taught Alex trained in engineering, gadgetry, and manufacturing gear. And for his final test, Sergei placed him in a Giant Sphinx with little gear and limited air supply, in which he survived with flying colors. He traveled on through China and Tibet. In Tibet, he met with a group of monks, and from them he learned how to use the full 100% capacity of his brain. After that, he heard rumors of K'un-Lun, a mystical lost city located in a different dimension, and one of the Seven Capital Cities of Heaven. With the help of Nigel Bloodwitch, he was able to access the gate to K'un-Lun in the Himalayas during a severe blizzard storm. He was found by Chodak and Tashi who took him to K'un-Lun, in order to save him from freezing to death while trapped in the snow. In the months to come, Alex would experience strict and harsh conditions while he had lived with all the monks of the Order of the Crane Mother, sleeping on a dirty mat and traveling a mile uphill to get daily rations of water each morning, although he soon became accustomed to the environment despite the vast difference compared to his life in Gotham City. He would then train and spar with other students of K'un-Lun, during which any failures to fight led to beatings by his masters to teach him endurance, while his victories would then earn him being taught the next fighting styles. While training under the watchful eye of Lei Kung who adopted him, Alex excelled with his studies and soon became a skilled warrior, while mastering every fighting style taught to him. Alex's training under Lei Kung was rigorous. At the age of 14, Alex earned the Crown of Fu-Hsi, king of the vipers, vanquished four foes in the ritualistic Challenge of the Many, and defeated Shu-Hu, a mechanical being whose name means "Lightning." Alex diligently conditioned his hands by thrusting them into tubs of hot sand, then gravel, and finally rock. Alex's years of training under the guidance of Kung and the Order of the Crane Master eventually allowed him to become one of the most skilled and respected warriors in K'un-Lun. However, Alex often meditated in the snowy mountains, thinking of his family and how he would finally return to Gotham City someday. Despite his great talent in K'un-Lun, he was unable to harness chi due to his bloodline and left to resume his travels. While in Japan, he met his master and father figure Lord Ogun. There, Alex spent years under Ogun's tutelage. Ogun and Alex became friends, and as time went on Alex regarded Ogun as a surrogate father. During this training Ogun taught Alex how to balance his human side and animal side in order to become a great warrior. He also taught him about the Art of the Samurai and the teachings of Sun-Tzu. At age 15, Alex was training in Norway, and after 28 hours of fighting a new opponent each hour, Alex's determination struck fear into all the Queen's men. Alex spent time with a nomadic people in the Nigerian desert enduring grueling training. It was during this time that Winston attempted to contact him, but when Alex received the phone call, he couldn't bring himself to answer. Sometime during his time abroad, Alex also trained with Chu Chin Li and Tsunetomo, two martial arts masters in the Far East and was also arrested for illegal base jumping at Meru Peak. Alex traveled to Paris, France, to find Henri Ducard, a skilled manhunter. Alex also became close training partners with Ducard's son, Morgan. However, when Alex discovered that Henri killed his targets, he left. This caused Henri to send Morgan after him, but Alex managed to defeat him, throwing him into Henri's office. One of his earliest stops was in Tibet, where he trained in martial arts and sword fighting under Shaolin monks. Alex studied under Nigel Bloodwitch in Las Vegas, struggling to master the basic precepts of stage magic. During this period, he became very close with Nigel's daughter and childhood friend, Cassandra, with the pair striking up an attraction. Hoping to impress Alex, Cassandra introduced Alex to real, arcane magic. However, Cassandra disagreed with this choice, and erased the memory of this discovery from Alex's mind. During his three-month training stint with Nigel, Alex and his mentor's daughter Cassandra became very close and would eventually develop feelings for each other. Under Nigel's teachings, he taught Alex the arcane arts, sleight of hand, escape artistry, thogal rituals, and the dark arts. Alex went to the Himalayas to train with Shihan Matsuda, who taught him to fight with the katana. He soon struck up a friendship with the sword-sharpener's soldier, Koyo. Matsuda warned him against creating personal ties with others, and to embrace his darker side. Matsuda's wife, though encouraged it, and because of Alex's trust for her, he inadvertently let an assassin into the Matsuda household. In the following course of events, Alex discovered that Koyo had been hired by Matsuda's wife to seduce him and then kill Matsuda. Both women and Matsuda himself were gravely injured, but before he died, Matsuda warned him that death is what would come of fostering close personal relationships. Alex continued his travels, making a stop in Mexico, where a mysterious assailant slipped him psycobilin while he fought jaguars, and in Shanghai, where his rope was mysterliously cut, though he was rescued at the last minute by Skyspider, a thrillseeking urban explorer who had previously mentored him. Near the end of his travels, he is taught astronomy and how to navigate via the stars. His travels later take him to Arabia, where a sheikh teaches him to ride horses. From there, he is taken to Africa where he was left with a tribe of bushmen who taught the art of fighting with a staff. After reaching proficiency, he traveled to Egypt where he was educated by their best scholars. Alex eventually moves to Greece and learned the art of wrestling, followed by a trip to England where he met Aleksander Clark who trained him on how to use a bow and arrow (as well as helped him hone his senses). He then traveled on a pirate boat working as a member of the crew. In Russia, he was trained in the art of axe-throwing and later went to Mongolia where he was taught combat on horseback. His training took him to a Shaolin temple where he learned their discipline and martial arts. Alex went on a journey to learn and master the many highly refined forms of Asian martial arts and eventually traveled to North Korea. There, Alex discovered a secret Korean monastery where he met martial arts master, Kirigi of the League of Assassins. At first nothing more than servant and a foreigner, he was wordlessly denied entry by a sentry, who shoved him to the ground; over Danny the next few nights, this process repeated violently until finally he was allowed entry. Kirigi specifically taught Alex patience, peace, and clearing of the mind and honing his strength, speed, and reflexes to perfection. While training under Kirigi he became acquainted with another acolyte of Kirigi's, one who identified himself as Joseph. They bonded over their shared desire to fight criminals, despite their differing motivations. 'Anton' and Alex, going by 'Jack', spent almost a year atop Paektu mountain training under Kirigi. Alex was eventually allowed to train with his students in Tokagure-Ryu and other Shinobi arts similar to the Japanese Ninjutsu. Mastering all of them, and even managing to defeat Kirigi's best student Marco, Alex earned the sensei's respect and was allowed access to the knowledge that he had been seeking as well as more advanced training. Shortly after the arrival of a new crop of an aggressive, belligerent students sent by a 'benefactor' of Kirigi's, Alex left, leaving his training under Kirigi technically incomplete as a result of his refusal to be a member of the organization. On his way down the mountain, Alex was attacked by these new students, assassins-in-training. Alone, he fought valiantly, but was on the verge of being overwhelmed until 'Anton' arrived, and together, they fought off the attackers and resolved to train together moving forward. Sometime after this, Alex traveled to London, where he trained under a Krav Maga instructor. After this, he travelled to Dublin to learn from Tommy Tivane, the world's greatest knife-thrower. He later trained with the Desert Kings in the Gobi Desert for two months. Towards the end of his travels, Alex returned to study under Duncan once more. Over the course of his renewed studies, Alex and Cassandra encountered a demon known as Shantoz, a being that would escape hell every twenty years to feast on the souls of those with broken hearts. This time, when the secret of genuine magic was revealed to Alex, he was allowed to remember, and together the pair was eventually able to defeat the demon by using Alex's trauma as bait. Despite the temptation, Alex decided against learning true magic, unwilling to pay the price it would exact on his soul. During this time, Alex and Cassandra became inadvertently bonded through a miscast spell, and would spend the next few months having regular meetings in order to contain the arcane chaos their mistake wrought. Throughout Alex's training, he constantly crossed paths with Danny Lee, the man he knew as Keith. Alex and the boy who would become rivals, having fought on a few occasions due to their differing opinions on killing criminals and seeking revenge. They crossed paths while seeking training in Dublin, Metropolis, and Morroco. In Morroco, Alex killed their mentor Ouahbi, ostensibly in self-defense, like he did Luka. Suspecting Keith of attempting to kill him, Alex pressed on, seeking out Doctor Daniel Captio, an expert mentalist who was capable of complete concious control over both his brain and body. While under his tutelage, Alex was able to learn control over his body, but was unable to control his emotions. Interested, Daniel tested him with falsified photos of the people he cared for, murdered. At that moment, an injured Danny arrived at the door of Captio's estate; Alex accused Danny of both the murders and of previous attacks on Alex himself in Rio De Janero, Mexico, and Shanghai; Danny had no idea what Alex was talking about, and expressed regret at the deaths of Luka Jungo and Master Ouahbi. He revealed that he had been tracked and attacked as well, and had come to warn Alex. Outside, Alex confronted the mysterious assailant who had been tailing him across the world and who had attacked and greviously injured Danny: Harris Zuma, AKA 'The Still', a renowned assassin in the employ of Ra's al Ghul. They fought on the cliffside as a storm struck, and Alex was able to channel his fury and love, overtaking Zuma. Zuma revealed that the loved ones Alex saw dead in the photos were still alive, and that his employer, the Demon's Head, was offering them an invitation to train with him in the Crystal Hills of Abu Dhabi. Alex then confronted Doctor Captio, realizing that he had doctored the photos that had enraged him so. After Danny recovered, the pair left Captio's manor together, determined to seek out Ra's Al Ghul. They eventually made their way to Ra's Al Ghul's crystal fortress in the heart of the Rub' Al Khali Desert, accepting his tutelage. During this period, he was introduced to Ra's daughter, Talia Al Ghul, who assisted in the training of the pair. Ra's told the pair that he intended to change the world using the principles of 'Lazarus', the supposed name of his organization, intending to build entirely self-sustained 'Lazarus Cities'. While training, despite his rejection of the Demon Head's principles, Al Ghul became very certain that Alex would one day become the true heir to his ideals and organization, in the same way he saw in Bruce, he saw in Alex as well. As such, he gifted him a small box, supposedly containing the eye of a god. Talia and Alex became close during this time, but Alex's distrust of her father's methods and goals resulted in the bond turning frosty. Towards the conclusion of their training, Ra's revealed the truth of his intentions to Alex and Danny, and made them duel for the right to replace Harris Zuma as second in command, the Demon's Hand. Alex defeated Danny, and Ra's allowed Zuma, Alex's ostensible predecessor, to remain alive, requesting that he take the unconscious Danny from the Crystal Hills. He then declared Alex to be the Demon's Heart, though Alex did not remain with the organization; he recognized that their plans involved mass death, and planted explosives throughout the Crystal Hills, collapsing the structure. In the process, he fought Ra's, who defeated him; however, he was rescued by Danny, who dragged him out of the collapsing cave system. Despite this, they parted ways, swearing that Danny would never enter Gotham, and that Alex would never enter any city Danny set up shop in. Afterwards, Talia took Alex to Ducra, the ancient instructor of the All-Caste, a group of warrior monks and begged her to train the boy. A main target of Alex's All-Caste training was managing his anger. Ducra especially wanted Alex to let go of his rage, stating that "One day your heart will shine brighter than the dark fury inside of you. And that day will be glorious." However, Alex thought the only way to get the revenge he wanted was by rejecting this teaching and holding onto the past. Alex later joined the League of Assassins, where he was trained by Bronze Tiger and Lady Shiva. Under the League of Assassins and Taila's funding, Alex traveled across the globe in search of a similar, yet more deadly type of training that Bruce received when he first became Batman. Alex learned the murderous arts from various masters around the globe. Such training includes firearms, poisons and anti-toxins, martial arts, and bomb-making. However, he disliked the fact that the group was not interested in justice like he was but merely in self-gain. Because of this he left the group. At the end of his training, Alex was pitted against the man who taught him to be an assassin, a German man named Egon, who was also engaged in a child sex slave ring. Alex, upon learning of the man's side business, freed a shipment of children and battled his new mentor. Though he was not able to physically best Egon, Alex ultimately defeated him by poisoning an energy drink the man consumed before the fight even started. With Egon dead, Alex burned the compound to the ground. He later remarked to Talia that he did not see this as murder, but rather putting "...down a reptile." His activities during this period included training as an underground pit-fighter in Brazil, working as a mercenary in Africa, joining terrorist guerrilla groups in the Middle East, studying silat under masters in the jungles of Malaysia, associating with the wealthy social elite in order to learn their secrets ('I learned to kill in a dozen different languages'), and attending only the finest in legitimate academic schools and universities. While in a hotel in Paris, he reflected on his experiences with managing pain as he does so. First, he remembers volunteering with a relief effort in the Middle East and assisting a doctor in performing surgery without anesthesia. Next, he reflects on the lessons he learned from a woman named Surya Pande who was cast out of her community for disguising herself as a boy in an attempt to become a fakir. Over several months, she teaches him to minimize his pain to the point where he can control it, sleeping on a bed of needles or standing on hot coals without reacting. One night, several young men appear to harass Surya , who takes their blows without seeming to feel them. Alex steps in to defend her, not only demonstrating his ability to withstand their attacks, but defeating them all with his martial arts skills. Surya then tells him to leave, saying that he has learned what he came to learn. She then comments on how Alex's pain was beyond her or possibly even his ability to handle, but how it also appeared to be leading him down a path he desired. Eventually Alex found the legendary Himalayan city of Shamballa, inhabited by a sect of monks who worshiped evil itself. Studying with them, he eventually became a favorite of their leader, who showed him their greatest treasure: an alien spaceship upon which their ancient monastery had been built. The leader then transformed into one of the aliens who had first landed there, and Alex was forced to kill him to obtain the key to the what Alex dubbed "The Ghost Zone", an infinite expanse of white nothingness that was supposedly the space between dimensions (the angel Zauriel referred to this zone as limbo; it was also used by the White Martians as a form of Hyperspace to effect interstellar travel; the people of Krypton knew it as the Phantom Zone). Realizing it will be used in the wrong hands, Alex turned into Heatblast and destroyed it. After 5 and a half years absence, Alex finally returned to Gotham at the age of 15 to begin his revenge against Vilgax. To formally end his training, Alex climbed to the top of the Burj Khalifa in Dubai and did a base-jump off the top, resulting in a concussion, road rash, & a dislocated shoulder and elbow. One day in a hotel in Norway, Alex got a phone call from Winston. As it turned out, Macgrath Enterprises' CEO, Anthony Pearce, declared Alex dead to liquidate his shareholding (which had brought in an enormous capital) and take the company public, but Alex was glad to have left the rest to Winston. After travelling abroad for several years to complete his training, Alex returned to Gotham. Retaking residence in Macgrath Manor in early to mid 2006, Alex planned on making his return known to Gotham. The young industrial heir decided that it was time to reestablish his connections to Macgrath Enterprises. He arrived at Macgrath Tower the next morning to find Anthony at a board meeting about "what Aiden Macgrath would have done", but checked in with the secretary, Felicia, to wait and see him. Felicia was pretty surprised to see Aiden Macgrath's son in front of her and asked him to teach her indoor golf, thus making Anthony frustrated after calling her on the comm twice yet shocked to come out of the meeting room to see Alex alive. As word spread around Gotham about Alex's return, he and Anthony sat down and discussed the company going public. Alex offered to be handsomely rewarded with his shares, but instead of looking to interfere with the corporation's ownership, he hoped to apply for a job within it. He asked to start at the Applied Sciences Division, and Anthony made cheers to welcome the young Macgrath home. In a matter of weeks, Alex swiftly reclaimed control over his family company Macgrath Enterprises and Nikolayevna Industries as its CEO after buying stock and shares under the name of Fletcher Irwin. He then fired the board of directors of both companies due to illegal activities such as bio-engineering experiments and selling their weapons to terrorist groups around the world, such as the Ten Rings, he shut down their lucrative weapons division. Having built himself a custom mansion, Alex created an A.I. system that helped out in the house. Within a few months, he turned it from solely a munitions firm to a multinational corporation with a range of interests covering virtually all types of contemporary scientific industry, and the leader at the cutting edge of Alex. Alex also bought the company that built the car his mother was driving when Claire lost her life and fixed the flaws in their brake system. Two weeks later, while at his parent's grave, he was approached by Nick Fury and Bruce Wayne with an offer to join a team of young superheroes assigned to undertake covert operations on behalf of the Justice League and Avengers called the Teen Titan and Young Avengers. He declined, saying he isn't interested in playing in Superhero and he doesn't follow the same rules as they do. But he changed his mind when he realized that they have connections that can aid him in his revenge against Vilgax. He then accepted the offer but if they helped him find Vilgax. Nick and Bruce agreed with his offer. After a few weeks of S.H.I.E.L.D. training under Nick Fury himself as well several other master combatants through their S.H.I.E.L.D. Training Program, he became a new member of the Teen Titans and Young Avengers with new teammates.

**Legacy**: Despite not being born in Felarya, Alex’s legacy endures as one of the most influential in Felaryan history, since he served as commander-in-chief of the Revolutionary Army, a hero of the Revolution, and the first President of the United States of Felarya. After assuming control of government, Alex began a program of social and governmental reforms, including the creation of the Felaryan calendar. He gave citizenship to many residents of far regions of Negavians. He initiated land reform and support for veterans. He centralized the bureaucracy of the oligarchy. His populist and egalitarian reforms angered the elites, who began to conspire against him. He established the Bank of Felarya, the first central bank in Felaryan history. Once Alex was in office, he reformed the government from being a authoritarian oligarchy into a representative democracy and republic, a form of government by the whole population or all the eligible members of a state, typically through elected representatives. Inspired by his homeworld, he created the constitution and bill of rights. It spells out Felaryan rights in relation to their government. It guarantees civil rights and liberties to the individual—like freedom of speech, press, and religion. The government has 3 branches. Legislative—Makes laws (Congress, comprised of the House of Representatives and Senate), Executive—Carries out laws (president, vice president, Cabinet, most federal agencies), and Judicial—Evaluates laws (Supreme Court and other courts). According to Alex, he modeled the new government after his place of birth, the United States of America. Growing up in a military household, Alex reformed the entire Isolon Fist into the Felaryan Armed Forces. He divided it into several branches such as the Army, Marine, Navy, Air Force, Space Force, and Coast Guard with lesser ones such as The Army National Guard and the Air National Guard are reserve components of their services and operate in part under state authority. He created multiple Special Operation branches such as the Green Berets, Marine Forces Special Operations Command, Navy Seals, Air Force Special Operations Command, and Space Spartans. He created the Elite Operations branches such as Delta Force, SEAL Team Six, 24th Special Tactics Squadron, and the Space Marines for counter-terrorism. operations. He replaced the Saidakins with Fourth Echelon Foxhounds and Hitmen Assassins for covert black ops and assassinations. Because of these new changes to the military, the Felaryan Armed Forces are considered the universe’s most powerful military and the largest military forces in terms of personnel. He helped replace the Internal Security Division with the FBI and CIA as the USF main intelligence agencies. He signed the GI Bill, a law that helped former servicemen by paying for their college, graduate school, and training programs. He created the Secret Service, a federal law enforcement agency under the Department of Homeland Security charged with conducting criminal investigations and protecting U.S.F. political leaders, their families, and visiting heads of state or government. In terms of education, he changed the name of the Isolon University of Magic into the University of Negav and create various Military academies for the several branches. He helped create the Felaryan Academy, where prospective students are trained and where official students receive their assignments and was it was founded out of military necessity. As President of Felarya, he helped kick off the Industrial Revolution. This revolution sparked the development of many great technologies such as the locomotive, and most recently, the automobile and the flying machine. Even once expensive machines such as computers have been enhanced, and now, computers are becoming commonplace throughout the World. He is solely responsible for the Felaryan Golden Age, a period in the history of Felarya, in which Felaryan trade, science, and art and the Felaryan military were among the most acclaimed in the universe. He was the first Felaryan representative of the Galactic Senate and indicted into the United Federation of Planets. Alex was beloved by many non-humans, particularly by hybrids such as small nagas, dridders and harpies. He outright abolished the Ps'isol Mages laws that forbade them from owning, renting property, housing inside the city, and entering the city, citing it as an “disgrace” and passed multiple anti-discrimination laws and turned Nekomura and Motamo Docks, into a historical site and entirely dissolved the Elven District, which angered some of the Elven Elders. He opted not to revive Negav’s Middle and Upper tier walls after it was destroyed during the Felaryan Revolution, stating “The Revolution has united us and the Walls has divided it.” This would anger some of the noblemen and aristocrats in the city, who wished to be segregated from the lower class. He helped creating more Isolon Eyes and Dimensional Gates across the country to protect settlements from the Giant Predators and transport imported goods from other worlds to Felarya and for immigration. He reformed the Hydromancer Guild, Healers' Guild and Negav Police into actual departments across the world just like his homeworld. Alex’s political decisions also had a long-lasting impact. Due to his devotion, no threats of war occurred for an entire generation after his death. In death, he was revered as a holy individual, and people some parts of the world even began to pray to him for protection. After becoming President, like all the other Presidents after him, a statue of himself was built and added to the Presidential Sanctuary in the Upper Tier of Negav. Also, like all Presidents after him, he was added to the President Rock, where his face was carved into the Ascarlin mountains, as a symbol that the President would always watch over the World. Because of these actions, Alex turned Felarya into an economic powerhouse and military superpower. Alex’s legacy extended beyond his military conquests. His campaigns greatly increased contacts and trade between galaxies, and vast areas of the universe were significantly exposed to Felaryan civilization and influence. Some of the cities he founded became major cultural centers, many surviving many years after term ended. He was undefeated in battle and became the measure against which military leaders compared themselves. Military academies throughout the universe still teach his tactics. Alex is generally regarded as one of the best military strategists and tacticians of all time, with the double envelopment at the Nexus an enduring legacy of tactical brilliance. A large part of Alex’s legacy was his philosophy of the Will of Felrarya, which became increasingly common amongst Felaryan citizens in the years after his retirement. Future Presidents, in particular, were expected to fully adopt the philosophy. He is often ranked among the most influential people in Felaryan history. He is often ranked among the most influential people in Felaryan history. One of the most influential people in the entire universe, Alex Macgrath accomplishments were remembered for decades after the Battle of Endor. Within the annals of the Resistance, basic training would see all pilots in its Starfighter Corps learning the Macgrath Swoop, which was based on Alex's piloting abilities during the war against Vilgax's empire. Many remembered him for destroying the Death Star and killing the Emperor, and as such viewed him as a hero of mythic proportions. Resistance pilot Reni Nedd considered Alex to be the greatest X-wing pilot of all time. Some questioned whether or not Alex could have used his powers for evil, while others simply viewed him as a myth. Alex's unlikely story of going from a simple boy on Earth to a galactic legend gave hope to restless youths on a number of worlds and beyond.

**Personality**: Alex was a happy child, eager to please and make his parents proud. One of Alex's most significant bonds is the one he has with his older brother, Delsin, who by merely being mentioned can elicit strong reactions from Alex's otherwise calm demeanor. Alex adored Delsin when he was a boy, enjoying his company above all others'; as an infant, he would cry whenever he was held by someone besides Delsin and would immediately be happy once held by his big brother again. Alex was much more cheerful and even a bit sassy according to his mother. He was also shown to be very naive, not understanding how to use money or thinking that he could buy sake. He also was easily frightened, as shown when his father looked at him and he was about to run away. Alex used to be more of a crybaby who could not stand up for himself. As a child, Alex was kind and prone to smiling; Upon meeting Cassandra for the first time, he confided to his father that he thought she was cute. Alex becomes extremely shy and uncomfortable around nude or immodestly dressed women, a fact older women have teased him for. Alex is often disrespectful when talking to those older than himself, calling the elders of both families "gramps" and referring to several of them by their given names without using honorifics. As a kid, Alex is characterized as hardworking, talented, and a natural genius. Alex's childhood was a product of the environment he lived in: the constant training made him a perfectionist that would keep at something until he mastered it, and his triumphs on the family business made him very confident in his abilities and talent. Whenever one of these personality traits was challenged, as they tended to be by his cousins, Alex's competitive streak would emerge. He was a carefree and loving person who looked after and played happily with his younger sister. A very mature boy, he understood the importance of patience and thinking things through. He was very protective of his younger sister. Even after he was revealed as a prodigy, he took the praises of others with modesty, since he only wanted to help others. He was also very committed to his studies and regular practice. After his sister's death, Alex became more stern, aloof and cold toward others, following all the rules to the letter, chastising any who disobeyed them and being willing to abandon his comrades to finish missions. He is shown to commit to the Macgrath and Nikolayevna families code, which permits and encourages the murdering of one's enemies. Highly perceptive and good with problem solving skills, Alex is a skilled planner and good at mapping out scenarios. Furthermore, Alex is very popular among peers and adored by his family members. Alex was very independent and self-confident, at times even appearing arrogant and condescending. Despite that, Alex was very perceptive and intuitive, quickly realizing the situation for what it was. He is also shown to have a sharp wit, being well-read and observant, showing advanced knowledge in mathematics and about the history of other countries. Alex is also a minimalist, with his home having only necessities and a few pictures. Alex is also known for his perfectionist mindset and for his disdain of mediocrity as an acceptable standard while maintaining high standards of excellence; whether it's honing his combat skills or maintaining the quality of his weapons and gear. In every fight, he punctiliously implements an array of well executed high power strategies into giving his opponents a hard time to strategically overpower him. Alex has proven himself to be both very stubborn and passionate when he it comes to his goals, and is not afraid to stand his ground against anyone who stands against him. Alex is not so quick to lose his calm composure in battle, which sometimes leads to him showing a more quiet, yet intense nature of himself. Alex has been shown to be surprisingly protective of the people he views as allies, friends and comrades. This protectiveness however has been misinterpreted by some as arrogance. Alex has also shown himself to be very considerate and conventional at times, like when he protected Cassandra from danger, then afterwards accepted her snack out of both nourishment and kindness. Despite his horrendous upbringing and the torturous training his family has put him under, Alex has managed to remain generally positive and does not seem too psychologically affected by the pain he's endured, demonstrating a noble, pure side of him. Alex, due to being raised with a focus on martial ability, has little to no regard for social abilities. However, since being taken under his brother's wing, he has tried very much to reign in his rage and aggression, often repeating the mantra, "Justice, not vengeance," when he catches himself in the mindset of a killer. Alex grew up to believe that he was raised for the sole purpose of leading the family as the prince, because of this his entire childhood was comprised of rigorous training that would turn him into a living weapon, this along with his mother and father twisted influence resulted in Alex developing a cold and cruel personality that made him think highly of himself. Alex also has little respect for privacy, he took a sword that was a family heirloom of his fathers and used it to chop dummies for practice, hacked into his own fathers files from the computer to obtain information, and even entered his fathers business office to view the company that he believed would be his to own in the future. Despite his flaws, Alex is still just a child who desires the approval of his parents and tries desperately to live up to the confidence his brother has that he can do good in the world if he would just learn to restrain himself. Alex, however, does seem to have a sense of understanding and is willing to set his ego aside in order to complete a task and let someone else take the lead, mainly his older brother. After a while, Alex begins to take note of the heroic deeds his older brother has to face and the things needed to be done in order to accomplish them. When showcasing his abilities and using the Omnitrix, both Max and Phil have noted how truly tragic his childhood must have been, with the former stating that it's a miracle Alex is even able to smile at all. However, his ruthlessness and aptitude in killing show the other side of him—deadly, violent, and bloodthirsty. Seemingly stemming from his harsh upbringing with his family, Alex is very vicious in battle, showing no restraint and willing to kill his foes without hesitation. He is also very driven and committed when given a task, as when he was ordered to kill someone, he would not waver regardless of who it is. When at first when the fighting starts, he becomes practically feral. Alex lacks emotional tact and the ability to interact with other human beings, mainly due to being groomed to one day inherit the Macgrath and Nikolayevna families leadership. This side fades as he spends more time with his brother or friends in school, although he is still unafraid to threaten or kill anyone who attacks him or his family or friends. Conflicting with Alex's predisposal to kill is his unyielding loyalty to his friends and natural kindness. He claims Cassandra was his first friend, and he grows progressively more attached to her as time passes. Alex often suffers immensely in his attempts to help his friends without a single complaint. He puts others before himself without being concerned about his own health or even his life. Until recently, Alex's greatest flaw was his fear of those seemingly more powerful than him (one of whom being his elder brother, Delsin). Alex had been trained as an assassin by his family to be extremely cautious and to only engage in combat provided that victory is absolutely certain. This impeded him as a fighter, as Delsin stated more than once that victory is never certain, and that depending on the circumstances, a person has the potential to defeat a stronger opponent. Alex especially struggles with these dueling ideologies, as he begins to encounter stronger opponents. His family's teachings remained firmly entrenched in his mind, to a point at which Delsin prophesied that he would one day abandon his task because of this. This changed after his entire family was killed by Vilgax and his allies. Alex began to show erratic behavior, such as self-harm, listening to heavy metal, drawing disturbing artwork, refusing to eat, and overall behaving recklessly, doing things such as climbing on top of the roof of the Orphanage building, burning himself, and cutting himself. Additionally, he does not like to be touched. He also hates it when people walk up or stand behind him, and will punch anyone who does so. Alex has developed a profoundly thick skin topped by a near-impenetrable suit of emotional armor to keep himself protected from the world at large, dour, stoic, humorless, introverted and deadpan, Alex typically forgoes most human contact and keeps his feelings to himself. He does not get along very well with people, many of whom perceive him as rude, stubborn, anti-social, prickly and disrespectful. However he does have a soft spot for children, especially runaways as he identifies with them, and with a select few people who have proven themselves trustworthy. He has no relationships and has thus far exhibited no interest in pursuing a romantic relationship with anyone. Alex is also known to be very blunt and not hold back what he thinks. He can easily tell when someone is lying to him or when they are not telling him the entire truth. He shows a great deal of personal strength and maturity for his age. He loved both of his parents very much and becomes angry if anyone speaks ill of them, such as Peter Thompson, who he physically assaulted after the latter taunted him about his parents' deaths, and disrespected his mother. He coldly refers to his teachers as "instructors". Alex has a lot of unresolved anger due to his losing his parents, therefore he can be violent and impulsive. He takes amusement in provoking fights and, as shown when fighting cops, has an unrelenting technique to his fighting style. He has a short temper and can sometimes insult people whenever he feels offended or belittled. He does not like being bossed around or told what is best for him, especially if he feels strongly opposed to it. As seen with his interactions with the orphanage staff, he is either willing to rebel or disobey orders and do as he sees fit. During his time in the orphanage, he became cold toward others, unmoved by and uninterested in what they do or think of him, choosing instead to keep to himself. His only goal in life became to take revenge for his family's deaths and, by extension, acquire the power (i.e. master control) needed for that revenge, even if it meant acquiring an external power that wasn't his own. He's sarcastic, rude, usually selfish, power-lusting, no-nonsense and down-to-earth, and somewhat narcissistic, while he may seem very realistic, but, as Nick Fury has said so multiple times, he can be very clueless. Plus, he is fairly condescending and scathing to everyone. Alex appears to be aloof, introverted and snarky; often excluding himself from playing with the other orphans and prefers to read a book instead. An outspoken person with little patience for inconvenience and silliness, he frequently loses his temper or is often left dumbfounded when people such as Julie display reckless behavior and intentions, noticeably when he considered Julie as an "airhead" when she intended to rescue every orphan from the fire. Furthermore, he is very blunt and honest, as when Danny is trying to figure out a way to break it to Julie that Alex was the spy all along, Alex abruptly comes out with it before Danny has the chance. In some cases, he considers it a kindness to be blunt, rather than alleviate the truth or give people false hope. He was also motivated by cold logic and reason, and he figures the best plan for success is to take the smallest group possible, even if that group doesn't include himself. Alex's strengths are his cunning, sharp wits, and his manipulative nature. He is also rational, logical, and cynical. He is an academically inclined young boy who excels in the orphanage's daily tests, also using his intelligence to decipher problems and to come out with solutions. According to Julie, he's always the best at anything he tries. According to Danny, he is level-headed and precise in everything he does. He also always thinks ahead and finds the most optimal solutions to things. Alex despises weakness in others, as he thrashed a kid around for his lack of strength. Alex is a bully who seems to enjoy causing other people misery, taking sadistic joy in inflicting pain and suffering. He was a firm believer in the notion that "the weak perish and the strong survive," which was triggered by the death of his mother and father. He is also incredibly arrogant, believing himself to be better than other people. He can be quite rude to others, mostly strangers and older people. He lost these qualities after his family's death, growing serious and cold, more mature than most his age. He is entitled, egotistical, condescending, rude, and unafraid to express his opinions. He’s somewhat temperamental if not outright violent when confronted by his enemies. He completely understands sarcasm and isn't pleased when Nick Fury is being sarcastic at him. He was driven by a fatalistic belief that his and everyone else's fates were determined from birth and were inescapable. He perceived his own destiny as being that of a rare talent, causing him to arrogantly place himself above those he believes are "weaker" than himself. Rather, Alex focused on himself, driven solely by his own desires and his own survival. Though he outwardly appears calm, Alex is deeply unbalanced, completely unmoved by others' pleas for mercy and, in certain situations, driven mad with bloodlust. Alex simply hates other people for existing, believing that so long as they are alive they are a threat to his own life. His purpose, therefore, is to kill anyone who is strong or whom he perceives as similar to himself, as only by killing them can he assert his own existence. With those who do not interest him, Alex is typically withdrawn and silent. When he must interact with them, he does so with open disregard for their feelings and often threatens to kill them, even his own comrades, if they become too much of a nuisance to him. Determined and thirsty for victory, Alex smiles eerily when in the middle of a battle. He is incredibly focused on achieving his own authentic victories and has learned to never underestimate his opponents. Alex is not only very athletic and talented at fighting, but also very intelligent and extremely perceptive, capable of strategic planning and improvisation. Moreover, Alex's grades are among the highest of his class and he already knew how to read perfectly by the age of four, evidence that he treats studying seriously. Alex also possesses surprising talent in other areas, such as cooking and music, even though he doesn't show a particular interest in them. Overall, Alex is considered a natural-born genius with the potential to be one of the best heroes around. Due to losing everything at a young age, Alex exhibited sociopathic tendencies and was willing to hurt/kill anyone for his personal gain. This mentality stemmed from losing his family due to Vilgax, and was only exacerbated by blaming himself for his family's demise. This caused Alex to live with many insecurities about himself; he would embrace the Omnitrix while also being paranoid of other people using it against him. His paranoia progressed to the point of considering everyone to be his enemy because, as he put it, "Nobody's innocent! They just haven't had the chance to take the Omnitrix yet!". Alex thus rejected society during his travels, and would commit various crimes and acts of violence against criminals. One telling instance of his cruelty was when he attempted to ram a armored truck into a trolley carrying passengers, and simply parroted the phrase "no pain, no gain" at the thought of all the innocent lives that would be lost. Alex is shown to be aggressive and vulgar to people he dislikes or opposes. At the same time, despite his efforts to distance himself from others, he was not completely heartless. He showed sympathy for weak and injured animals, and refused to let innocent children get hurt. Also, he can remain calm and collected when questioning strangers, such as when Alex listened to the S.H.I.E.L.D. director explanation about himself and his team. When not letting his temper get the best of him, Alex is shown to be very observant and pragmatic, easily reading the flow of battle before him and how best to react. Due to the massive suffering he has endured due to Vilgax, which he described as being a living hell, he would gladly die than be stuck in said hell for the rest of his life. He has even shown signs of post-traumatic stress disorder, as simply seeing the dead parents of a child as a reminder of his struggles and has left him panting in horror. Alex harbours deep resentment towards Vilgax and his allies, becoming highly alert and aggressive when facing off against members of the empire. He particularly resents Vilgax for killing his family, as shown by how he quickly erupted into a rage while unconscious upon being reminded of what Vilgax did to him and his family. He also seems to possess a dry sense of humour, as shown when Alex mocked Hex for his part in disfiguring his jaw in the past. He is also shown to be quite ruthless, fully capable of killing anyone who either opposes or angers him. In addition, Alex is also antisocial, showing little to no respect for others and being openly blunt and rude in his decision and opinion, although he does have some manners, as he is shown to be not above apologizing when he does something wrong even if he initially believed it to be unnecessary, as shown by how he apologized, even if half-heartedly, on how he broke the flower vase Emma gifted to Emily after seeing how much it hurt her. In addition, he is not above fixing his mistakes if necessary, as although begrudgingly, Alex was willing to buy another vase to make Max agree to work with him, nor has his heart completely been closed off. He is also constantly on guard, instinctively attacking a child for bumping into him without hesitation, although he claims he was only interested in scaring the child to show him the harshness of life. He is also one of the quickest-thinking characters and often analyzes a situation with great ease and accuracy. In spite of his young age, his way of thinking, knowledge, and pragmatism give him the attitude of an adult. He is initially very confident about his own abilities, going as far as questioning Juila's capability during the martial arts exam and compares his strength with other people. As time passed, Alex became humble about it and no longer touts his own abilities. Despite his advanced knowledge and level-headed nature, he is not very open in general and will become very annoyed when a friend openly calls him their best friend or compliments him about their bond. Characterized by his stoic and brooding personality, Alex is generally aloof and indifferent, though he is not incapable of genuine kindness and a protective demeanor. He tends to act in a critical and controlling manner, stemming from a life on the streets and a drive to protect himself, which forced him to take on adult responsibilities at a young age. Furthermore, Alex exhibited a lack of respect for others (especially toward those in positions of power) to the point where he would openly mock them in public. He shows little respect for the lives that are around him, going as far as killing a villain on sight once they proved to be of no use to him or when he attacked Kevin without hesitation rather than taking a moment to identify him as an enemy. Alex has no patience and is quick to act without thinking resulting in him making a situation more complicated than it already is and making it more difficult for him to solve things when Alex accompanied Nick Fury to investigate a Coliseum Alex tried to rush in without even noticing that there were cameras monitoring the area. He’s easy to defy those around him if his terms are not meet, he was even quick to defy his older brother numerous times. He’s stubborn and has a hard time listening to others when he has done something wrong, he also has a hard time understanding sarcasm but plays it off as if he knew. Alex is a cool and intelligent individual, possessing vast knowledge. He is reticent; not one to open up to people easily and quite judgmental. His distance from others initially keeps him level-headed and moralistic, but his heart has been poisoned with sadness and hatred. Having been traumatized from losing everyone he loved at the age of ten, Alex closes his heart to new people and remains introverted as to stay focused on his goal. However, Alex can be kind and affectionate, smiling when those friends are happy. Though Alex outwardly states that he desires to become an Avenger and his ultimate goal is to kill Vilgax and whoever that massacred his family, he is willing to compromise his personal morality and delve into the squalid side of society in order to achieve his goal. He is prone to fits of uncontrollable anger should the memory of his family be insulted in any way. Alex grew up on his own and worked as a small-time thief and con artist, using his street smarts to steal technology and goods from the forces of the Plumbers, though he felt no loyalty to others. Alex's rough upbringing taught him not to trust others, let alone help them. He learned to survive by depending on himself, which he acknowledged made him selfish. Even though he had a privilege upbringing, his journey around the world to learn from the best made him realize what his privilege had afforded him, and he understood what it was like for those who lived in poverty. These experiences allowed him to understand his duty as a Hero. As a teenager, Alex is a natural-born leader. He is heroic, noble, kind, selfless, stoic, stubborn, brooding and usually serious in tone, but has had a fair number of funny moments. He is serious, stern, strict and obsessed with hunting down criminals, where he goes so far as to masquerade as a villain to take down A.I.M. Despite this, Alex does maintain a more relaxed, at times even playful side, which he sometimes expresses when the team is not actively engaged in crime fighting. Another flaw of Alex's is that he is very competitive, and still a little bit immature. But despite his struggles, Alex has time and time again proven to be a great leader. He cares for all of his friends deeply and will fight to the finish to defend them. Despite that, Alex still remains as a calm, level-headed and intelligent leader who comes up with clever strategies in battles and keeps a calm head most of the time. Alex is a bit of a loner. Beast Boy and Cyborg hang around with each other more than they do with him, and Raven and Starfire are both independent but still interact with others, yet Alex often spends long days locked in his own room, planning. He insists on doing everything himself, such as being Phil's apprentice and battling Vilgax. When the Titans first met, Beast Boy (who implied that he was a loner and has not had anybody to talk to since he left the Doom Patrol) wanted to befriend everybody, but Alex made it clear that he did not want to be part of a team (but eventually does join them). The team and everybody in it is very important to Alex. Alex had become a cold and calculating individual, completely dedicated in his one desire to kill Vilgax that his own life didn't matter to him. Alex never used soft words like "friend", as he never wanted to lean on someone or be leaned on. He is shown to be sombre with a detached and dark outlook. Alex apparently came to despise evil and injustice as he became driven to end its era once and for all, by any means necessarily. Alex is initially a cynic, nihilistic, stoic, and a loner. He is quite prideful; he does things by himself and has claimed to have never relied on anyone. Alex refuses to accept anything he considers pity, sympathy, or charity. However, he is slowly revealed to be very caring and sensitive to the feelings of others, and eventually lets go of his past beliefs due to his relationships with those close to him. He will often rapidly think slightly sarcastic thoughts in response to Starfire comments about his Omnitrix. At times, Alex could appear cold, cynical, malicious, bitter, and sarcastic. He had a commanding presence that exuded gravitas, authority and control; he had the ability to keep a class quiet without effort. He tended to hold grudges and was extremely spiteful toward those whom he disliked. It is worth noting that, despite his popularity with opposite sex, Alex has always remained aloof when it comes to advances from women. This is highly due to his strong focus towards obtaining power and revenge. Despite his aloofness, many female characters such as Starfire and America still consider him as a "cool" type much to the chagrin of other male characters. He developed close friendships with his teammates of the Teen Titans and Young Justice. Alex is a crude, arrogant, short-tempered, and aggressive person, especially among his teammates. Alex is known for his snobbery and sense of superiority over others, as his motives are usually ruthless and rapacious, and his personality traits are selfish as he would do almost anything to gain status, power, wealth, respect, prestige, glory, and supremacy. As a character, Alex is known for displaying a conservative, ruthless, and abrasive demeanor, especially looking down towards people whom he considers socially contemptible or throwing blunt insults and wisecracks towards rival heroes and their abilities to whom he considers to be strategically inferior opponents. Pride is Alex's strength and weakness; he never backs down from a challenge and gives everything he can in a fight. This results him in having a sense of superiority, making it extremely difficult to earn his respect especially towards people he considers beneath him, and causes him to look down on and treat others as inferior until Alex considers them as his equal. This gives him difficulty when forced to rely on others and work as a team. His pride in himself and his accomplishments as an individual are prominent character traits that form a part of his character, and he reacts harshly to those who threaten or infringe on it. He showed to be extremely arrogant and condescending to those around him, often looking down upon his teammates. Upon meeting his teammates, Alex originally had a cold, aloof personality, which stemmed from his training and experience. Focused and unemotional, Alex preferred to keep to himself instead of hanging out with other people. Understandably, Alex gains a lot of contempt and disdain from virtually every single person he knows (with the exception of Cassandra) - mostly Superboy, Starfire and Raven in particular. Robin constantly holds out hope for him, as does Winston. Though Robin himself finds Alex's condescending attitude and arrogance quite infuriating. As was shown on the times they've been forced to fight together as a team. Alex, for the most part, could not care less about what they think about him and returns the contempt in kind. After spending sometime with his new comrades, however, Alex notably became more sociable and kind, even gaining a sense of humor and occasionally smiling, although still retaining some fragments of his previous distant attitude. After months with his teammates, he began opening up more to his classmates and has lightened up from his usually serious demeanor. Nonetheless, Alex is not quite used to socializing yet, coming off as a bit dense when it comes to understanding certain phrases and figures of speech. While usually quiet and reserved, Alex did initially possess a moderate level of arrogance, which, combined with his solitary tendencies, sometimes made him take the initiative without considering the opinions of others, displaying confidence that he could take on any obstacles with his own strength. He used to be much more unfriendly as well, to the point where his cold attitude caused Superboy to resent him while he was none the wiser. Alex seems to prefer acting alone, although only for practical purposes since doing so allows him to unleash his full power without having to worry about friendly fire. Calm and composed, yet brutal in combat, Alex is well-grounded on the ethics of heroism, only wishing to subdue his opponents as opposed to killing them by prolonging the suffering. While a rather volatile hero-in-training, Alex is smart enough to discern who his enemies and allies are. He is not particularly nice or open with people who are on his side, or anyone else for that matter, but will act less unfriendly and sometimes even kind to those that manage to earn his respect. Because of his attitude and vulgar language, Alex's teammates often react negatively to him, although they have come to appreciate his skills and warm up to his personality. Alex matures slowly through his time with the Teen Titans and Young Avengers coming to befriend some of his teammates and willingly engaging in social interaction with them, though remaining solitary for the most part. Over the course of the time Alex spent with his teammates, he continues to make improvements in himself as a result of igniting hero work, he begins to understand the difference between seeking justice rather than vengeance and even begins to have second thoughts on his revenge against Vilgax. Alex also gains more compassion and understanding, so much in fact that he now sees his family's deeds as cruel and heartless, something he would have been alright with and done himself long ago. Cassandra explains to Alex that during her time healing his wounds she learned about his life and explained to him that although he was insufferable he had a kind and generous soul, this was something that Alex did not know about himself. Alex has gotten used to socializing with others, but is still, in Beast Boy's words "a dick." He appears close to Cassandra, who also has family problems. Overall, Alex doesn't seem to care very much about what others think of him, barely containing himself from violent behavior (although he avoids other typical delinquent practices like underage smoking). Alex values honesty highly and never lies, to the point his brash candor is seen by some as rude and insensitive. He is never afraid of speaking his mind and will notice when people are not being truthful to him. This shows that, despite his anti-social habits, Alex is an excellent judge of character, making it hard to deceive him. Due to the constant praise of his abilities and powerful device such as the Omnitrix, Alex has developed a superiority complex, and because of that, he desires to be the first and best at everything. As pointed out by many people, Alex loves to win above all else and cannot stand it when he doesn't, leading him to lose his already short temper or, less often, sulk. He is fiercely competitive and will never settle for less than the number one spot, having a compulsive need to always strive for victory and also prove people who doubt him wrong. However, Alex also values hard work and fair play, to the point of refusing to acknowledge a winning result if he feels that his victory was not earned by actual merit. Along with that, he detests being pitied or looked down on by others, and will hold contempt towards those that don't take him seriously, while recognizing the effort of those that manage to put up a challenge against him, like, for example, Superboy and Miss Martian. Because of his Omnitrix and talents, Alex is very confident and brave to where he is willing to go against anyone who challenges him. He never backs down from a fight and will go out when facing such a powerful opponent. From taking on several villains, Alex knows when dealing with someone that is out of his league, as he let Ironman face off against Venom. During the orientation, Alex isn't afraid to go off against Superboy or Nova. Alex is immensely prideful and prefers to act alone, as he hates the idea of being protected or having to rely on other people to assist him unless, in the latter's case, he is recognized as the unquestionable leading figure within a team. When Alex first worked with his teammates, Alex's cooperativeness was nothing short of atrocious, often ignoring his partners' ideas and suggestions for his own very direct approaches. His teamwork skills gradually improve as the series progresses, even if Alex keeps coming off as condescending through his usual tone. However, it's clear he now acknowledges their importance, protecting them from harm while expecting them to do the same for him in return. Despite Alex's self-centered, snobbish, and elitist personality, he remains an intrinsically obstinate, astute, disciplined and conscientious individual who has a concern for human ethics. He exhibits ethical and morally upright principles in that he is against stealing. Though his plans are often vengeful and Machiavellian, notably vindictive as he sees revenge as a way to get even especially when seeing the negative side of his defeats inflicted by his foes Nonetheless, he is a rational, intelligent, and perspicacious person who has a vast belief that hard work and determination is what gets you ahead in life, not stealing at the expense of others to advance your situation. As such, he is disgusted by Zack and Noah, calling them pathetic and not worth living up to his company because they were planning on stealing his works to take his company instead of earning it through the trials and tribulations that he went through. As a leader, Alex is a merciless perfectionist, and will only become satisfied with complete, indisputable victories. Alex often has difficulty accepting his mistakes and shortcomings, and will fiercely deny them whenever they are pointed out by others, regardless of who does it. That doesn't mean, however, that Alex doesn't listen to advice, having come to realize his faults and how to somewhat improve on them thanks to the words and actions of other people like Captain America and Iron Man, but he will never outright admit due to his pride. He prefers to self-reflect in silence and solitude, becoming a bit more brooding during those periods. Alex's unchecked pride and aggression has cost him victories on numerous occasions, like Vilgax's return. Despite his arrogance, Alex also possesses a great amount of humility, being aware of his own limits and understanding when it's time to back down. He takes any advice he gets seriously and uses it to try and improve on his Omnitrix and abilities, showing great determination to even keep up with top heroes like Superboy. Alex thinks little about fame and idolatry but is still prideful enough to not tolerate being underestimated or looked down upon by others. In his pursuit for the power to take his revenge, whenever he meets new people, he makes an evaluation of their abilities: those he perceives to be weaker than himself he arrogantly disregards, giving them little attention so that they won't hold him back; those he perceives as stronger he fixates over and tries to surpass. As a member of the Teen Titans and Young Avengers, he is repeatedly exposed to Batman's philosophy that there is strength in teamwork. For a time, Alex accepts this, experiencing it first-hand on several of the teams missions. He even become attached to his teammates and started to forget the vengeance he craved, achieving after so many years a measure of happiness. By the time of the Highbreed conflict, Alex has matured considerably in regards to his relationship with his team. He has come to accept his teammates as a second family and was devastated by their capture at the hands of the Highbreed. Such tragedies however, caused much of Alex's personality to revert back to way it was before joining the team, including being brash, impatient, and aggressive towards others. The carnage of the war also made him abandon his oath to never again take a life, once again being more than willing to kill his enemies. He also developed a strong murderous hatred of the Highbreed, who he blamed for the disaster of the war, and the capture of his teammates. It is even implied that he attempted to leave the planet and hunt them down, only refraining because Cassandra asked him too. However, between both the manipulations of Phil and meeting Vilgax again, where he was utterly defeated, Alex decides to sever all ties to his team in a single-minded pursuit of power, leaving Earth to focus solely on himself. Batman tried to help Alex realize the contradiction in his viewpoint: he is driven to gain power because he lost his family, yet sacrifices the family he still has (TT and YA) in order to gain that power, which did have a profound impact on Alex and would have turned him away from the path of darkness had he not been influenced by the Rooters. So focused on vengeance, he willingly accepted Phil's offer of power, seeking out the Plumber to train Alex with the Plumbers, despite not knowing the man was working alongside Vilgax. Alex initially retained his morals by setting a firm no-kill policy for himself and his team against those unrelated to his revenge and openly expressing disgust at Servantis for his horrific experiments. In addition, despite becoming cold towards his new team, Alex did become attached to his new teammates, still subconsciously holding a notion of teamwork, comparing them to the bond he had with his old team and pushing himself to extremes to save them. Alex refers to keep his distance from others, so he often comes across as aloof and elusive. He has a rather cynical and even misanthropic view of the world around him, often belittling and mocking others and their emotions and the significance they place on friendship and life. In addition to his new outlook on life, Alex showed disgust at those who would take advantage of others, such as with Argit when he was taking advantage of an alien's trust. Although Alex may, at times, do things unethically like selling weapons to make money or do things that involve getting money, his heart is always in the right place. He also showed distaste on how others care about only themselves will abandon others for their own selfishness, such as when Alex reprimanded Ra'ad for being selfish in order to save himself while reminding him about how he (Alex) was also selfish before the latter's redemption. Though Alex can still be cynical, snarky, and insensitive, he is a good person at heart and generally doesn't like innocent people getting hurt. Though he is rarely open about it, he also has a sensitive side, such as when Jarett ate the Tiffin - the scene shocked Alex so much that his jaw dropped, despite being the "tough guy". He also sucker-punched Argit, angered and disgusted that the latter didn't care or show remorse for Andreas even after his sacrifice. He also shows more common sense, such as when despite the great prospect of money P'andor was offering if anyone freed him (which Alex was almost successful), Alex stops upon realizing he was highly radioactive and pressured that they made sure he wouldn't be released. While he cares for innocent people, he is willing to end life, as he voiced to kill any villains that went after his friends and comrades. Alex starts healthily channeling his delinquency through a love of cars and automotive engineering. He is extremely protective of his motorcycle, always upgrading and modifying it, and becomes very upset whenever it gets damaged, which happens on a fairly regular basis whenever his team is around. He is also protective of his dog, Hunter. And while he is relatively taciturn, he occasionally squabbles with and insults his teammates, especially Manny. It is obvious that deep down he holds a certain amount of respect and kinship for his teammates, but seems to be closest to Rook and other members of Team Blacklight. While he holds an affinity of kinship towards humans, this goes as equally far as his preference for other races, despising enemies, including braggarts and "tourists" who lack impetus for a degree of respect from him. As a fighter, Alex is very unbiased when it comes to his enemies. He shows the same degree of ruthlessness to his foes - regardless of age or gender. This is seen when he terrorizes Ruika and the Masked-Fighter with threats of death as his power is returning. According to Alan, however, he has a honor code that prevents him from going all out against an opponent he perceives as weaker than himself. In battle, Alex has defeated the most opponents on the team- often making good on a threat he made at the outset. He is also phenomenally arrogant, and has a tendency to underestimate his opponents. Known for his air of austerity, Alex is a gruff, cynical man holding an overall bleak outlook on life. This is a consequence of enduring waves of suffering and numerous betrayals since his youth, as nearly all highlights of his life have, in time, become lows. In spite of his guarded, brooding exterior, he shows a more easygoing, compassionate side around the people he trusts, appearing markedly less unsociable and distant, though still retaining his dry candidness. Even as his hatred festers deep within him and its temptation becomes increasingly harder to resist, he retains his empathy and compassion, refusing to discard his humanity. Due to his newfound abilities and skills, he retained his habit of underestimating his opponents, rushing into combat without a clear understanding of their capabilities and suffering for it, though he will acknowledge his mistakes on occasion. Despite this, Alex was not above making bonds with those around him, forming a new team that he viewed similarly to his old team and doing everything in his power to protect them. Alex is very dutiful in his job as a Plumber, having arrested several Black Sun members since joining the force, and was on the fast track to becoming a general. Despite his coworkers' constant belittlement, Alex promptly suggests his theories on open cases and refuses to take the easy way out to close a case, being adamant in following leads. His commitment and effectiveness on the streets was such that he earned himself praise from the senator of Coruscant. After losing the Omnitrix, getting betrayed by the Plumbers, witnessing his team sacrifice themselves, and watching his girlfriend die in his arms, Alex is devoid of true purpose in life, killing as a mercenary and assassin merely as a means to survive in the galaxy. Alex has become disillusioned with the idea of ever completing his quest. He is emotionally vulnerable, showing signs of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder as he is often haunted by hallucinations of his family and the people of the past, constantly asking him why he didn't save them. His mind manifests a hallucination of Vilgax, demanding that Alex give up and end his constant suffering, which means that Alex is contemplating suicide. Alex became pessimistic about life in general, believing the cycle of battle to be inescapable. He also came to believe that humanity and the world are incapable of changing from what they were in the past. He believed the current, "worthless" reality was built too much on the idea of winning and losing. Alex is first shown to be a very bitter person and becomes easily irritated by people. During his exile and having embraced his dark side, Alex became utterly ruthless, virtually devoid of mercy, bitter, impatient, and a complex young man, akin to a tragic villain. Pledging to crush those who dared threaten his place of belonging. He adopted the habit of cracking his knuckles from his torturer, Paydann Halken. In his subconscious, Alex ate his "old self," the image of his himself prior to his betrayal. This displayed that he accepted his killer instinct within him; instead of being influenced by it, he appeared to have become the one to surpass it. Alex became ruthless, cruel, and brutal in order to protect his comrades, yet he managed to maintain complete composure. He no longer feared his darkside and was more violent during battles, such as when he cannibalized a Kree soldier as a Klyntar in order to strengthen himself, and mercilessly broke 103 of Phil's bones. By embracing his hatred wholeheartedly, Alex gave up on being "human." Alex was still capable of showing his gentle nature in front of people he cared about, but instantly turned merciless against his enemies. He yearned for strength and power, therefore becoming more power-hungry and arrogant. His new creed—that as "the strong" he had the right to "devour the weak"—was originally an ideology held by Deathstroke. Max assumed that Alex developed some form of mental instability during his torture and solitary confinement in the Klyn prison, and that this would gradually wear him down. Alex fights with ferocity, and often extreme cruelty, rarely shooting to kill until his target has been completely disabled and humiliated. However, he does have some humanity left in him, as he is still capable of shedding tears and showing affection for those who are dear to him, taken by Max to mean that he is not completely lost. He is essentially one of the strongest beings in the universe, Alex has become very egotistical. He freely taunts and belittles his opponents, often allowing them to inflict seemingly fatal wounds before healing himself and counterattacking. Alex becomes overwhelmed by his betrayal and starts conspiring against the Plumbers and all its allies. As time passed after this and his hatred increased, Alex fall to darkness steadily eroded much of the goodness he once had: he would without hesitation challenge and even slaughter any and all who stood in his way, left his rebel allies without caring for their fates, essentially sacrificed Shrunresh Zirdeh to strike down Phil, and even tried to kill Azmuth when he impede or attempt to dissuade him from his objectives. He also allies with Dero Chonu and the Rebel Alliance when their goals align, but left them without comment when he no longer needs them. His abandonment of all his former loyalties and his criminal acts convince his former teammates that Alex is beyond salvation. At first, Alex was at least unwilling to kill those unrelated to the revenge plot, but over time as his hatred increased, such convictions were dropped, becoming cruel and ruthless. In his thirst for revenge, Alex put himself far above anyone or anything around him. Dero determined that Alex was carrying the entirety of the Universes hatred on his shoulders, and this caused Alex to gain an unwavering and twisted pride of his power, deeming anyone who isn't as strong as he as inferior trash and impostors, and became increasingly irate and unstable when witnessing it. During this time, Alex becomes largely self-centered and anti-social, indifferent to the suffering of others and detesting those whom he deems weak. His reclusive nature and hostility toward those attempting to connect with him stem from a fear of creating new emotional attachments; fear of making precious new companions akin to the friends he lost to Vilgax's attack. He found himself in the direst situation possible—being hunted by his former allies, the ruthless and relentless Plumbers and their vast connections, while attempting to survive as a penniless fugitive in the Universe. At first, he lashed out and turned to robbery, even stealing from those who were kind to him. Alex came to a warped view of helping the world to ensure no further conflict between them: if a single individual, what Alex calls the "True Leader", is solely responsible for making the difficult decisions, killing and the like for the greater good, then everybody will be unified in their hatred of that individual. He volunteers himself for that responsibility and planned to eliminate what few friendships he still has to ensure no turning back. Alex believed that righteous goals sometimes require unethical means. He was ready and willing to use such methods himself when he declared war against the Plumbers. Alex abused a twelve-year-old trust, fully aware of his family's precarious situation, and eventually killed dozens of innocent civilians (including children) as collateral damage in a surprise attack on the Galactic council. He is willing to sacrifice civilians and soldiers alike, if that is what it takes to achieve the objective. In the battle at Coruscant, when he created a landslide that wiped out most of the enemy forces, and indirectly, several civilians in the streets below, he brushed off the civilian casualties as a simple "mathematical overestimation." He did have second thoughts when he learned that one of them was Jarekea's father, but he accepted that there will always be consequences for all of his actions. He also saw no problem with collapsing a large portion of Aindruc, resulting in countless military and civilian casualties. Many people have noted that Alex is quite selfish, as his desire to remake the universe into what he wants it to be comes from his desire to avenge his family's, however in time he realizes that this goal is not just for them, but for the entire universe. Alex suffers traumas and further loses that further deepen his resolve. However, he also grows less merciful to his enemies if he cannot control them. Alex has a strong sense of justice but this quickly becomes warped after he becomes tainted by his own arrogance. Believing the world to be "rotten," he uses his Ultimatrix as a means by which he can enact his will to rid the world of evil people. Alex's main goal is to create a new era that is free of injustice and populated only with people whom he deems honest and kind, thus becoming the "God of the new era". Alex is decisive and driven to achieve his ambitions, without faltering one bit in his beliefs. Despite knowing the criminality of murder, Alex would consider his actions the ultimate “sacrifice” to help the world. Alex quickly begins to develop a cold and ruthless nature. As an utilitarian, he will take any means in order to achieve his goals. In spite of this, he seemed to have developed a dislike for war, referring to it as "hell." He believed that, with good reason, no one would want to go to war if they knew the suffering it would put them through. He has a strong dislike for nobles, viewing them as tepid and "overprivileged parasites." Alex at the same time has become more easily angered due to his inner darkness's influence after Albedo destroyed the last portal. This causes him to become easily more annoyed, aggressive and angered. For this reason he was deeply committed to his plan, so much that he would prematurely end a fight he was enjoying or kill any threat, even, reluctantly, his own allies, for the sake of its success. Despite this, Alex was simply acting on what he believed would benefit the universe as a whole, showing his time with the Plumbers did indeed influence his actions and he wasn't acting simply out of bloodlust after his betrayal. This causes him to become easily more annoyed, aggressive and angered. Indeed; this dark path of his has induced Alex to become an arrogant and ruthless person (because he does not want to come to terms with the fact that he has a dark side) a choice his parents most likely would've been most ashamed of and has even given up on saving innocents and focused on himself. Whenever he was losing a battle and losing control of his Ultimatrix, he behaved in a way that emulated another's, such as Wolverine. He would speak in a crazed disorganized manner, further implying his mental instability during these periods. This dark path of his has caused most of his relationships to be destroyed. Most notably, attacking Azmuth and threatening to kill him when he was trying to stop him from spiraling further. Alex starts upon a self-destructive path. His anger leads him to commit villainous acts of wrath as catharsis for his pain. Alex's reserved demeanor makes him very ruthless and unreasonable at times, but his comrades are the only ones able to slightly settle his seething enough for him to think rationally. He slowly transitioned from considering his friendships to be a weakness hindering him from succeeding in his aims to appreciating their value, and he was willing to put his revenge on the Vilgaxia Empire on hold for his friends' well-being. His plan's ultimate failure deeply depressed Alex, but it made him see its errors: breaking free of his hatred, he regretted the mistakes he had made and admitted the superiority of Max's and Azmuth's methods for peace and not doing things alone. Alex is able to see how corrupt he has become. He is gradually starting to learn how to accept his dark side within the rest of his personality. Alex makes amends with Azmuth and Max by apologizing for his behavior and resumes his fight for justice against Vilgax. He eventually let go of his greed and anger as a test to Azmuth and Max Tennyson in order to become worthy of using the Omnitrix again. After some time, however, partially in thanks to a talk from Max Tennyson, he gained a more reasonable outlook. Theft was still necessary from time to time, but he refused to steal from needy people or people who showed him kindness. With time, due in large part to the efforts of kindness from strangers, Alex ceases his solitary struggle and solicits the help of fellow travelers, slowly fostering new companionship with them. Despite his initial apprehension toward displaying affection for his new comrades, he comes to appreciate the bonds he makes with them and finds himself grateful for having their individual strengths to rely on. Despite his weariness and seeming lack of hope, Alex refuses to surrender, continuing his quest to save people from Vilgax's tyranny wherever possible. Alex embarks on a journey of self-discovery, in which he comes to acknowledge his lifelong bond with and passion for helping others. Upon realizing this, he begins devoting himself by helping the innocent and working in the shadows to protect the people from oppression and injustice and to safeguard their free will, having a newfound purpose in life through this. Alex also does not take kindly to those who get in his way or interfere with his work. He has proven time after time, that he is not a man to be trifled with. As a result of his early childhood years, Alex is described as a "clean freak" by those who know him personally as he prefers his environment and himself to be spotlessly clean. He is averse to having either himself or his equipment soiled, and has been known to wipe down his blood-smeared Proto-tool while still on the battlefield. However, he will not hesitate to touch filth if he deems it necessary. Despite his preoccupation with cleanliness, Alex is not very approachable. He rarely shows emotion, giving a cold impression to others. His manner of speaking tends to be very blunt, even insulting, and his comments are often coarse or inappropriate. He is not above provoking or belittling those who oppose or irritate him. His sense of humor tends toward the vulgar, insulting, and dark. All of this makes him unsettling to a great number of people. He is extremely pessimistic and suspicious, which often makes it difficult for him to trust people. Alex is occasionally known to lose his calm demeanor and to use threats or violence to get others to listen to him, even if they are fellow members of his team. An example of such behavior was shown when he directly ordered Maria to take on the role of queen when the question was presented to her. When she shakily says she is unfit, he grabs her and lifts her off the ground, choking her and telling her to fight back if she does not like it. He then drops her and yells at her to make her decision, but is however calm once again when she complies with his demands. Although he rarely shows it, Alex has a strong sense of morality and empathy. One of his most defining characteristics is the great value he places on preserving life; this is especially shown when it was revealed that all Correctors might have once been human themselves. The thought that he had unknowingly been killing humans all this time disturbs him greatly. While Alex shows loyalty and empathy for his comrades, he shows no mercy towards his enemies, slaughtering them indiscriminately with obvious indifference. When dealing with individuals he perceives to be enemies to him and others, Alex is capable of behaving sadistically, even vindictively. For example, when the Naga was captured, Alex told her he enjoyed watching her suffer and described in chilling detail how he intended to mutilate her body. He has also tortured Dango with Rikamaru, punching him and twisting his already broken nose. After defeating Dango a second time, he sadistically made it clear that he was going to torture him for his crimes against the innocent, impaling him with a Spear. Alex displays no emotion during these times aside from bloodlust, shown by his methodically slicing apart Hugo’s legs. Alex is very cold and distant, but he is not an intentionally abrasive person. His demeanor is forged from steel, seemingly emotionless, but is capable of adequately expressing himself when the situation calls for it. This is most often when his client is either in danger or their safety is being used as a threat against him, frightening the instigators with a flash of white-hot anger. Alex also does not take kindly to those who get in his way or interfere with his work. He has proven time after time, that he is not a man to be trifled with. Though he would never admit it, Alex respects individuals who demonstrate a fierce determination to survive the hardships cast upon them by living in Felarya, and has been shown to assist these persons without discussions of payment or reward. Indeed, this respect is the catalyst of many of his most dangerous adventures. While his exterior is usually one that does not express feelings, Alex does experience them, and very deeply, as any other person would. Although rare, there are times out of respect and honesty where he has shown emotion. In these occurrences he is genuinely kind, doing things that would normally be out of character. Other times Alex has also demonstrated a dry, sarcastic sense of humor when the moment suits him, shocking his clients and companions. This usually is at the time when the situation calls for a serious demeanor. But in light situations Alex pulls back his normal terse manner and talks very kindly to children. He even goes so far as to fashion a flute for a small child who seeks his help in repairing the one he has broken. He also has taught some children sometimes upon request some fighting techniques to help aid their development. But make no mistake, no matter how innocent, attractive, child or elderly, once a threat has been realized no matter the person or object Alex will cut them down without remorse or mercy. He has an almost insurmountable resistance to being seduced or showing the slightest attraction to others. He seems to have made it clear though on more than one occasion he is attracted to females of the human variety. An enemy has no hope to find an interest being seen by him as the above quote attested. But an ally especially one who has shown him kindness and seemingly formed a friendship or at least a semblance of one can catch his eye. And while he has met many beauties on his travels physically attractive beyond reason with out batting an eye, as his brother Delsin attests they don't go completely unnoticed and he is attracted to curvy beautiful figures. His intelligence is immensely high in terms of martial prowess, a resourceful and tactful fighter who uses multiple styles of combat at once when facing his adversaries. Makes use of savvy and rather pragmatic tactics to gain an advantage over opponents, such as using his blood to blind them. Knows how to effectively rattle someone's brain by a positioned punch to the chin. Capable of imagining and even outright interacting to some degree with mental visualizations of creatures and individuals to develop new stances and techniques without the need of them physically being there. As an young adult, Alex strongly exhibits the characteristics of a stoic hero. He is unfailingly kind and generous, and will always attempt to help those in need, as well as dispatching sage-like wisdom to those he believes are in need of guidance. He often ends up sacrificing a chance to return to his mission in order to help someone else. He has had considerable development during his time in Felarya. Initially, though polite and refined, he was very quick to anger and even more quick to being frustrated or irritated. However, over time, he has become much more patient and calm. Alex has a very noble and heroic personality. He is a selfless, protective, brotherly, kind-hearted and overall mostly serious person, who deeply values the safety of humanity and his friends. Because of this, he is seen by most other characters as a dependable person they can always trust. Alex is also usually depicted as being serious, calm and clear-minded; even in the worst situations. Due to this he rarely acts on impulse and usually thinks things through before transforming into any alien, always trying to stay one step ahead of his opponent. This is made obvious during his fights, as he regularly visualizes the flow of barrle in his mind in order to devise his strategies. He is also very selfless, and is hesitant to put the safety of his friends, or anyone else, at risk. Due to his past, Alex has a tendency to keep a serious and somewhat stoic expression most of the time, and is rarely ever seen laughing, though he does give short smiles frequently. In very few occasions Alex can lose his composure and act out of anger, most notably after Roman was willing to sacrifice the Rebel Alliance as cannon folder. Alex sees friends as the most valuable thing a person can have; he believes no one should ever have to be alone, and tries to convince others who reject friendship that it is something to be embraced. Alex sometimes contradicts his views on "fate". Just before Alex fought Dutch, he stated he didn't care about fate, but during his fight with Henry, he says if Ben felt he was fated to face him, the same applies to him. Alex believes that fate doesn't control everyone, and that it is what people make it. Alex is generally appeared to be a very stoic person. He acted mature and sometimes blunt to the point of rudeness when he was with his fellow comrades, but he was actually fairly softhearted. He had a tendency to get attached to others easily, and hated to see people get hurt, especially his close friends. Unlike many of his associates, he was described by Hanzo as being a "normal person", in the sense that he still grieved for those lost and had not become jaded enough to close his feelings off. Despite this, he was very determined and his primary motivation for killing Vilgax was revenge for his family. He was, however, entirely willing to put his own life on the line to save other people despite his own fear of death and even at risk to his ultimate goal. He didn't like people who do not take their job Isolon Fist seriously or fight for a superficial and material goal like money or, in Ben's case, to be able to touch some boobs, being this one the primary reasons he and Ben, initially, didn't get along. Alex was also ruthless, stating that he always makes sure the foes he kills suffer in order to give them a slow and painful death. He could become intimidating with those he still didn't trust enough, like when he threatened Ben by telling him that if he either betrays them or sides with their enemies, he would kill him without any hesitation. His air of cold detachment was a facade, and he had been seen to mourn over the deaths of his comrades such as Angel, and he grew to care for Ben and Chun enough to try and forfeit his revenge goal in order to keep them safe. Alex also was capable of being afraid to lose those he deeply cared about. He told Alma that the reason why he wanted to leave the mission of killing the Mage was because the future he saw with the power of the Future Mage, with Delsin suffering a painful and terrible death, and he was scared of that future. At first, Alex was seen to despise Demons equally, not caring if they are Hybrids, Fiends or if they are evil by nature, to him all Demons are the same. He saw them as nothing more than tools they can replace at any time. However, over the course of his time in the university, Alex slowly began to bond with some of his partners, was his relationship with the Devil Dust. Alex is calm, collected, talking only when he feels it serves a purpose. Alex is mature and very serious. He is also shown with a sharp wit, carefully thinking before acting and able to see the underlying nature of the situation at hand. His insight appears to make him the smartest of his graduating class, and also acting as the de facto leader of the group. Alex is somewhat distant, showing little respect when talking to others, even his teachers. He also shows no interest in women despite his fan club fighting over his love, simply telling them to leave him alone. Despite his seriousness, Alex is very loyal to his friends, as he claimed that Chun's problems were bothering him and wanted to help, and been watching Chun for a while. When Chun was framed for treason against the village, Alex worked diligently to clear his friend's name. He is also clever and rational, able to pose a plan or a strategy necessary to defeat the enemy, and also knowing his limits (such as when he is surrounded by too many enemies to defeat them by pure force). He is also extremely good at thinking on his feet, often improvising his way out of lethal, or impossibly bizarre, situations. He is also a very solitary man, tending not to socialize due to his focus on his quest. He is also a very noble man, showing to be honest to others he encountered. As opposed to his 16 year old self, he still dislikes the notion of having to kill unless absolutely necessary, and will never harm an innocent. Alex has a calm and emotionless demeanor and speaks only when he really needs to convey his thoughts. His manner of speaking often makes people misinterpret what he means. Alex has a laid-back personality, but will get serious when the time calls for it. He and Ben Tennyson have a friendly rivalry, and while they can often be seen fighting one another verbally or physically, the two are actually quite concerned about each other. Alex was quite obstinate and reckless when he was younger, but over time, he has attained a more cautious attitude towards life, and deals with problems carefully. He is very concerned about his comrades and is truly loyal towards his friends, but tends to trash talk every now and then. Also, Alex is quite skilled in acting as an evil person. Alex is generally quiet and solitary, but tries harder to act cool when other people are around. Despite his new outlook, Alex still hasn't lost his wrathful side, having the capacity to kill or harm anyone who wrongs his family and friends. This was particularly evident when he threatened an Soldier by choking him when seeking information regarding Chun's whereabouts. While outwardly stoic and calculating, Alex wishes to help protect people he sees as good or kind. He believes that the world is unfair and that power is a tool to ensure kind people are given more chances to live. Claiming it to be his selfish and irrational desire, he does not see himself as a hero for doing this. This belief that good people deserve saving motivated him to save Alma from immediate execution and refused to regret the choice even as Neo was about to kill him. On the contrary, he is quite callous when discussing the deaths of criminals and killers as he believes they are not worth saving. Very perceptive and shrewd, he was noted as not to do something without a reason. He was well-aware of the terror his reputation inspired by his foes and would take advantage of it at times. He also wouldn't pry into other people's personal affairs unless he felt it was necessary. Alex is usually mellow and wishes for peace and quiet, much like Delsin. He seems very much in control of himself, as shown by his calm and deliberate response to the appearance of a Naga. He is unbothered by Chun's bubbly and contrasting personality, showing a great deal of patience when dealing with his hyperactive, happy-go-lucky partner. Usually, Alex never actively fights with anybody weaker than him and has no desire to hurt any of the thugs that constantly try to attack him. Alex becomes his kind, laid-back self again while still trying to surpassing his limits. Alex is also very polite towards people while not training or fighting, showing good and refined manners, probably for being born and raised in a wealthy family with luxuries until he was 10 years old. Alex has a strong sense of love and respect for those close to him. He is known to be very protective of his girlfriend, Chun. He can become aggressive if she is threatened, such as when Aizen kidnapped her, and Alex hunted him down immediately to defeat him. He's shown to be highly attached to his girlfriend, who acted as a great source of strength for him through her constant love and emotional support. Although he made himself unavailable for a period, the people dear to him became part of his drives, leading him to search for more power in order not to lose anyone else. After killing Vilgax, he began to feel a deep sense of loss, believing to have no one and nowhere to return to. As a result, Alex began adopting some of Delsin's views: he decides to fight for Felarya's future so that Delsin's actions aren't made meaningless and bases his understanding of the "leader" around the decisions Delsin made. He also starts poking the foreheads of others as a sign of affection, something Delsin used to always do with him. While still not very open with his emotions, Alex became more committed to make connections with people. During his time as a wanderer, Alex was a recluse, keeping contact with people to an absolute minimum and maintained his strong sense of pride; he is willing to help the city if their problems are beyond their expertise but ignores their requests if facing insignificant issues. Stemming from his inspiration of his brother protecting Felarya from the shadows, he also sometimes acts independently on his own and help Felarya, but does not even bother to interact with anyone during such instances, although he does leave strong hints he was responsible. On some occasions where does interact with others while helping out Felarya, his conversations are often one-sided where he speaks briefly before vanishing without giving the other person a chance to reply. He is also not above acknowledging significant events as he sent a note congratulating Connor Kent for his wedding. Acknowledging his mistakes and once free from hate, vengeance and his inner darkness, Alex reverts back to the type of person he was prior to his parent’s murder; being kind to others and displaying a sense of humor but maintaining his aloof exterior. Above all else, Alex is the personification of persistence and resilience. Through all of his numerous trials and tribulations, he has never yielded to fate and continues to subsist against seemingly insurmountable odds. Indeed, Alex is an ardent detractor of ideas such as causality and destiny, believing his decisions to ultimately be of his own volition and paying no heed to such supposed certainties. During his time in the Saidakins however, Alex gained a reputation for his cold-bloodedness. As an adult, Alex becomes wiser and mature, as well as genuinely warmer and caring, though his tendency to appear deadpan remains. He does retain his habit of insulting others, although it is usually more comical than cold, and mostly aimed towards his close friends. He has also shown a degree of humility, openly admitting to his failings, particularly as a husband and father. He is something of a father figure to his young students of team 10. When some of the current leaders expressed concerns about leaving the next generation to handle the threat they would soon face because these were peaceful times they were growing up in, Alex calmly says each generation having little faith in the next one is not an uncommon thing. His empathy has also deepened, as he was able to understand Ryu needed love to help his out-of-control power, hugging him in their first meeting and adopting him to give Ryu the happy family Alex himself didn't have. He is shown to care greatly for his family, as he has begun training his son with his own Omnitrix, finding humour in Noctis's cruder antics. Alex also has developed strong parenting skills, being the one who's reprimanding Copper Lee for not holding back enough when he tried to counter Iron Lee's attack with his own. His compassion for his son's happiness was also shown from not wanting to hurt any of his friends, regardless of the circumstances. He also believes in a indirect teaching-method, feeling that while people need guidance, they cannot truly grow as people if they don't find the answers themselves. Alex retains some social awkwardness as an adult. His nephew Norbert noted Alex tends to give strange gifts when he visits. At the same time, Alex retains some of the ruthlessness he had when he was younger: he offered the child clone a chance to stand down when he stood between Alex and his real target, the adult clone, but did not have any reservations cutting down a child when he refused and when Wade saw Alex was interrogating him, Alex taunted him by saying he knew full well how far Alex was willing to go to obtain information he needed. After becoming president of Felarya, Alex is much more relaxed. He is often seen smiling and cracking jokes, such as when he forced his son to enter the World Martial Arts Tournament, threatening to "cut his allowance" if he did not enter the competition. Often being more caring and kind to his family, especially his son and daughter, Alex admittedly has a kinder side, per his adjustment to Felaryan life. However, Alex has been shown to retain his arrogance and competitive mood but he is more open to teamwork with allies and is willing to help others in need. He has grown protective of the planet as he refers to it as his home and doesn't want to bear the burden of losing another home planet as he did when Vilgax destroyed countless planets. He also develops strong morals, as he rejected Mercreti’s offer to become a member of the Guardians and refused to rejoin forces with Albedo. Alex has often been shown to have a deep dislike for fighters who use unfair methods for a fight, which shows that he is someone who prefers to fight with dignity. An example of this was during the Vishmitals Conquest of Felarya, when warrior Pluto acted as a sniper and tried to assassinate Alex (only managing to cut his cheek), he furiously insulted him, calling him a dishonorable coward and a shameless worm. He also shows contempt for those who abandon their own values and code as Arnold, who in Alex’s eyes was only a loser who can't even protect his own pride. He also views Kisshoten with disgust, stating how she takes the power of others and does not give a fair fight and the reason she does this is because her true power is extremely weak. Even so, Alex is also very balanced and adaptable. When Alex took a mission to the Fairy Kingdom as a disguised prisoner in order to locate the cure needed to heal Chun of her illness that would eventually strip the latter of her ability to use her abilities, Alex kept a low profile by pretending to be weak. He even allowed the abusive prison guards to beat him as his top priority was finding the cure Chun needed. In his old age, Alex displayed a more calm and wise demeanor, as well as a strong sense of protecting his family and his friends. He also retained a certain penchant for being the source of awkward moments when conversing with others. Alex becomes a stern man who spoke bluntly about most topics, never sugar-coating facts or the matter at hand. He had a pragmatic approach to life, believing that many of the world's problems could be solved through well-defined rules and laws. Though his words could often come off as rude or insensitive, Alex himself was relatively calm and composed, rarely getting riled up or reacting emotionally. His general demeanor has always been stern, if not grumpy, with an indifferent attitude towards others. Alex rarely smiles and enjoys solitude. Alex is frequently seen meditating in quiet places and drinking thawed ice water in the north area. However, he shows a noticeable cockiness when fighting. He can also be very confrontational toward people, showing very direct and honest opinions about a situation or an individual. Alex is known for his very precise and efficient methods in battle and likewise is shown to be very analytical and tactical in battle, able to see through his opponent's skills and weaknesses to devise effective strategies for victory. Nostradamus openly acknowledged Alex as one of the most brilliant fighters in the multiverse. Due to years of experience, Alex very rarely shows any sign of distress or surprise, usually responding by smirking.

**Appearance**: According to his uncle, Alex bears a strong resemblance to his father, Aiden Macgrath while inheriting the shape of his mother's eyes and face. Like his older brother and little sister, he is considered an extremely handsome and attractive person to the eyes of the opposite sex. He has pale skin with spiky black hair with bangs and black eyes. His hair is chin-length that parted to frame the sides of his face. As a young child, his bangs hung above his eyes. Later, they would hang on both sides of his face to roughly frame his cheeks and later again return to their original style. As a child, Alex's hair is longer, almost cascading to his shoulders. He wore a hoodie with his trademark black coloring, blue pants, and shoes. In part 1, Alex had a delicate and boyish appearance. Having gone intense physical training since childhood, Alex's body is very muscular, flexible and durable. His physique has been described as resulting from constant, rigorous combat training, and is far beyond that of a typical adolescent's. His bones and muscles are also described as being better than those of an Olympic sportsman. Alex typically wears a black jacket with a red undershirt, jeans, black sneakers, and red wristbands. His second outfit consists of a black shirt with red long sleeves along with grey sweatpants and black boots.

He carried his sword, which is usually strapped to his backs, Alex wore the prototype Omnitrix on his right wrist. In part 2, Alex had grown considerably taller and more muscular, roughly the same height and build as Delsin during part 1. He generally keeps his face set in a near-permanent scowl, with his eyebrows drawn together or a blank expression, with lidded eyes, always showing little to no emotion. He is usually either frowning or expressionless; that, plus his extremely calm demeanor, often makes it difficult for others to guess what he is thinking. Alex is shown to have a severely scarred body all around due to the diligent and uncompromising training he puts himself through, with the only exception being his face. His hair grows a little longer with bangs that hung on the side of his face. He has narrow, intimidating dull eyes that can form an emotionless glare with dark circles under them, making him appear tired and a deceptively youthful face with sharp canine teeth. He wears a outfit consisting of a black hooded jacket, a tattered dark red shirt and black pants with military-style combat boots. His second outfit consists of a long, open sleeveless leather coat with the sides tied together by strings, inside pockets, and a sewn-in, corset-like vest in the front.

**Relationships and Romantic life**: Alex typically avoids emotional intimacy, preferring to engage with women only as allies. For the most part, Alex does not engage in serious romance, preferring to focus on his revenge against Vilgax. However, Alex occasionally softens his heart and has been romantically involved with the following women. Alex is known for his good looks, which attracted a lot of females near his age. Alex shared multiple romantic relationships with a number of different women. Alex can love, it's just more difficult for him to after his parents' deaths. Despite his introverted, lone wolf and outright anti-social nature, Alex has formed several unique and interesting friendships, alliances, rivalries, and even enemies due to his actions and viewpoints throughout his journey. Interestingly enough, several female characters in the series have possibly developed romantic feelings for him despite his personality. A frequently troubled young man, Alex acquired both friends and foes throughout his journey. Though Alex's troubled past has left him emotionally scarred and slightly cynical, he is capable of immense love and sacrifice toward his intimates. Throughout his journey, Alex has had many relationships with many women, most of which seem to last only a short time. These range from similar social standings and citizens of Gotham to allies and enemies alike. Alex's relationships with woman has been complicated by revenge, with them usually deteriorating because he does not tell them about his activities or, on the occasion he has, they cannot stand by his lifestyle. Though he has shared mutual attractions with allies, they usually go no further than flirting, due to commitments with other characters or brief stints that end as quickly as his civilian partnerships. Likewise, Alex has also shared romances with enemies, though they usually end due to their imprisonment or learning it to be part of their schemes. Though often depicted as self-reliant, Alex has often worked heavily with various other heroes and allies in his activities. These have ranged from officials in Gotham City to heroes throughout the universe. Alex has made a large variety of enemies and foes, from small-time criminals to major players in criminal underworld from Earth and Beyond. Some of these have also been major international players outside of the city, ranging from international gangs to terrorist cells, Empires and Dictatorships.

**Religious Views**: Like all members of the Macgrath and Nikolayevna, Alex is Agnostic and does not believe any human religion could be the one true religion. He is well aware that Abstract Entities exist but would in no way worship them, considering them as highly evolved life forms, but also believes in a higher power that guides the universe. In part 2, Alex is an atheist and abides by no religious beliefs, believing that if God existed, he would not let so many bad things happen such as the death of his parents or the existence of Vilgax. Alex doesn't believe in traditional religions ("never have, never will"). He is since shown to hold firm atheist beliefs after renouncing his Agnostic beliefs at an unknown time due to his experience and encounters with actual gods.

**Political Views**: Alex seems to be either indifferent or at least apolitical towards politics in general. But after becoming President of Felarya, he seems to hold libertarian or classical liberal views.

**Powers and Abilities**:

**Overview**: Born of the Macgrath and Nikolayevna families, Alex was seemingly destined for greatness and acclaim. This would come to full display when he mastered the powerful Omnitrix at the age of ten. Stemming from his two strong bloodlines, Alex is a prodigy, regarded as able to accomplish anything he attempts in remarkably short periods of time. Inheriting his mother's prodigious talent and genius, and father's intelligence and unpredictability, he scored at the top of his class by his family exams, and is viewed as well-above the rest of his generation with mid-level prowess. While in training, Alex was regarded as an elite who excels in all fields of combat. His prowess had proved crucial in defeating formidable opponents including Taskmaster and Deathstroke, as well as several members of the Court of Owls and A.I.M. His potential is also viewed as a threat to the Vilgaxia Empire. Alex is very advanced for her age, well-regarded as an elite assassin and warrior who excels in everything, stronger than his father was at his age. After Delsin's death, he is deemed as a future contender to become the leader of both families. In training, he was evaluated at first in his class, and soon noted able to easily pass the Exams. He is judged to have mid-level leadership and battle analysis skills by Macgrath's and Nikolayevna higher-ups, even unanimously approved as a team leader with other elders present. His combat skills are also considerably high, able to defeat older, more experienced opponents. Like his siblings, Alex is recognized as a natural prodigy of his family, graduating at the top of his class in school. Alex is a prodigy whose innate talent and natural potential exceeds even his own parents. From a very young age, Alex's aptitude as a natural genius was evident, even by the Macgrath's and Nikolayevna's high standards. Due to his young age, Alex was technically forbidden to learn any of the families advanced techniques. However, even without formal instruction, he learned how to perform many of these techniques from observation alone. Aiden, so deeply impressed by Alex's raw talent and rapid growth despite being self-taught, came to believe that Alex should have been the successor of the families and would eventually surpass all other Macgraths and Nikolayevnas to ever exist. He is a prodigy whose innate talent and natural potential exceeds even his own parents, therefore making Alex one of the most powerful members of both families and the world as a whole. By age 10 (including the time spent training with his brother) Alex's power and raw skill was on par with Delsin and likewise eclipsed all his family before unlocking an even greater power that surpassed Delsin as well. Much of this seemingly stems from his experiments or genetics as since early childhood, Alex has shown within him a seemingly limitless dormant power, which only revealed itself when experiencing extreme emotional stress, losing most of his cognitive thought in the process. The earliest occurrence of this hidden power was as an infant when he about to crash into a tree when his stroller was accidentally released, giving him enough power to plow clean through the trunk unscathed. Even by normal human standards, Alex's increase of might from fear or anger is exceptionally greater, able to compete against the strongest enemies. Various people have note that Alex's potential is greater than what he knows himself. Considered to be a prodigy, even amongst high-class warriors, Alex is the powerful Prince of all both the Macgraths and Nikolayevna families, with his own strength even surpassing that of his parents at a young age. As a member of the Macgrath and Nikolayevna families, Alex possesses a vast array of superhuman physical attributes, which he has trained through years of rigorous training. Alex's ongoing rigorous training from childhood have shaped him into a powerhouse. Trained intensely from childhood in the ways of his parents, Alex had to adapt to survive the harsh life and live up to his name. Eventually he earned the right to bear the Macgrath and Nikolayevna families legacy in his name and excelled as a top member amongst his peers, gaining skills and abilities that are signature among both families. Physically conditioned Alex's speed and acrobatic skills are beyond exceptional, and while his strength may not be as immense as those of his transformations, it is strong enough to wield hefty weapons and still maintain his agility. His senses are extremely high beyond the potential of a normal human being and predict an approaching attack. Cognitively he is a tactical fighter and highly calculative in battle. Having been trained by Both the Macgrath and Nikolayevna families since birth, Alex is already an expert in martial arts and wielding a wide range of weaponry. He also has been trained in numerous weapons. Despite his age, Alex has taken on and bested trained fighters like Yaroslava Nikolayevna, Marcus Macgrath, Deathstroke, and Khyber, amongst others. Due to the extreme training from his parents and extended family, Alex has the skills and stealth of that of an extremely trained assassin. He was also trained in the disciplines of forensics, acrobatics, criminology, disguise and escapology. Alex is skilled in mimicking voices and speech patterns of others accurately, as he was able to imitate his father's and brother's voices to bypass Aiden's spaceship voice-recognition security systems. Alex is shown to have highly advanced engineering skills, as he was able to complete his father's plans of building a flying car, the construction of which Winston described as "being an endless source of frustration to Alex's father". Alex is also a capable businessman despite his young age, being involved with Macgrath Enterprises and its board members. Alex has claimed he is "light-years ahead of all his cousins in skill and training". Alex was trained by his mother and father to be a Killer. He no longer kills but will kill if necessary unlike Delsin. Alex has said he knows as many martial arts as both of his parents. Alex's mother and father has several medical staff members on standby in case Alex is hurt; they have cloned organs for him in case he loses any vital ones. Furthermore, as a member of the Macgrath and Nikolayevna Family, he has vast wealth at his disposal, although he needs his father's or his mother's permission to use them. His family name alone is enough to scare the ones that know what it is associated to. Alex has been trained since birth to become a human weapon and is recognized by his family to be one of the most talented assassin in the entire history of the Nikolayevnas. Alex has an astounding natural talent that enables him to learn at a fast rate and allegedly ad infinitum, a characteristic that piqued Phil's interest. Although he primarily fights with his bare hands, Alex is able to use any kind of weapons, but the only one he employs consistently is his sword. When he tried to prevent the Selection, he was so confident in his strength that he claimed that tanks and fighter jets would be useless against him, and in fact, he was able to effortlessly subdue a military unit comprised of at least four tanks. His training endowed him with near immunity to poison, high tolerance to electricity, great agility and physical strength, advanced armed and unarmed combat and stealth techniques, which he acquired at a very young age. He can also drive cars and airships. His intellect and exceptional analytical skills are equally remarkable, and it is often through a strategy that he can defeat opponents who are stronger or more experienced than him. He is also able to walk without making a sound and sleep with a larger part of his brain awake than normal, so he can avoid attacks even in his sleep, even if they come from an armed, albeit weaker, fellow fighter. After leaving the arena, due to his prowess in combat, Alex became able to blend with nature more easily, which allowed him to find multiple new species of animals at a rate that astounded his mother. Alex was often praised for his powers of observation, agility, and stamina. In battle, he thinks quickly for any alternative solutions and strategies. His most remarkable quality, however, is the uncanny, bottomless potential he is gifted with. Many powerful characters such as Aiden, Yaroslava, Max, and Phil were left astounded when they grasped the full extent of Alex's talent, which is often described as being limitless. This allows him to learn extremely quickly, and that is true especially with the Omnitrix, a complex Level 20 device. Together with his potential, it is his strength of mind that continuously leaves more experienced and skilled fighters dumbstruck, and is a crucial component of his overflowing charisma that causes even more powerful allies or foes to gravitate towards him. His indomitable will allows him to continuously put his life on the line without being held back by fear, which in turn allows him to take chances others would never dare. Other abilities include sleeping with a larger part of his brain awake than normal, thanks to his parent's training, and holding his breath for some minutes even if fatigued. He makes a strong impression on Delsin during their first match, and could fight on par with strong enemies, such as Michael Morningstar and Kevin Levin in Part 1. In part 2, after training around the world for five-and-a-half years, he becomes strong enough to fight and even defeat the Teen Titans and the Young Avengers. Though Alex technically possesses no true superhuman powers, he has undergone a vigorous and intensive training regimen due to 5 years of training around the globe, conditioning his body and mind to peak human levels, to such a scale that he has been called a "one-man army" by Deathstroke. Alex had come to master every skill and technique Slade could pass on to him. Some members of the Teen Titans and the Young Avengers have suggested that the reason for his obsessive training is that he feels he must be at his very best at all times in order to be the same level as his teammates, as they all have superhuman powers of some sort. Despite the Omnitrix, Alex possesses no known superhuman powers, but instead relies on his physical conditioning, acrobatic prowess, and keen detective skills taught to him by his various masters. He was also the Team's strategist, intellect, and most importantly, their hacker. Due to these skills, Alex is considered the most highly trained and experienced member of the Team, and has also been fighting the longest. Though Alex technically possesses no superhuman powers, his courage, skill, experience, determination and personal strengths are enough to make him a capable fighter. Alex has proven himself one of the most astute, accomplished, and formidable businessmen and investors in the world. A child prodigy and polymorphic genius, he excels at virtually any skill or area of study he applies himself to. With natural aptitude and raw talent, since his teenage years, he has both successfully reinvented and ran his world-wide corporation. In addition to his shrewd business acumen and combat aptitude, while having no known university degrees, Alex is incredibly skilled with science and technology, most noticeably programming and engineering. He specializes mainly in computer software programming and building cutting edge technological software and hardware. Nick Fury's intel classified him as a Power Level 8 without the Omnitrix but also classified him as a Power Level 10+ with the Omnitrix, the highest level in their scale of measurement, and as Alien X he was described as part of the Omega-class entities by Reed Richards. Moreover, Alex was also stated to be an Omega Level Threat by both the Justice League and the Avengers, and even "the Youngest Omega Level Threat" by Amanda Waller. In general, Alex is very versatile with advanced proficiency in countless areas including mastery of all main skills of a hero; Batman says Alex is smarter than Robin and Ironlad, is a better hacker than Cyborg and Ironheart, is a better marksman than Hawkeye and Red Arrow, and has better fighting skills than Robin and Patriot, each of whom are well-known for their high capacities in their respective areas. Even without the Omnitrix, he is one of the universes smartest men and greatest fighters. His physical prowess and technical ingenuity make him an incredibly dangerous opponent. according to Albedo. Contrary to what his size would suggest, and even without his Omnitrix powers or Super Soldier Serum, Alex has strength, speed, agility, durability, endurance and vitality that are the stuff of legends; ranging from accomplishing feats that would be physically impossible for a normal human to achieve and surviving dangers that most would think impossible to survive. Weaker people are easily intimidated by Alex, as Samuel remarked that he had a "demonic aura" at the Kyln prison even as he was tied up and starved of food for over a week. This ability has held even in the middle of a prison riot, as when a prison guard came to suddenly realize the degree of power and killing intent Alex had, she froze in place as Alex charged her. After Alex intentionally performed a harmless attack, she then became seized by fear to such a degree that she was unable to reload her firearm. During his time on the run, Alex had established himself as a fearsome bounty hunter in the galaxy, so much so that Samuel had heard he was a "demon in the form of a man". His accomplishments in hunting bounties were significant enough to earn him the epithet of "Criminal Hunter", which he remains known for even after joining Rebel Alliance. The Vilgaxia Empire also views Alex to be a grave threat simply because he is the son of Aiden Macgrath. After landing on Felarya, he quickly made a name for himself. His prowess is said to take on an entire country. The S-Rank members of the Akatsuki, Espada, Phantom Troupe, and Shichibaukai acknowledge his might; he outmaneuvered Matsudaira Uchiha (albeit he couldn't use his Omnitrix at the time) fought Sasaki Abura and Shay Kenway respectively to a standstill, and deemed a major threat by Kage. Alex's combat prowess and leadership skills are so revered, that many foresaw his rise to Ps'isol council status years before it happened. After mastering Alien X, he is compared to a god by Alma, which is demonstrated when he helped overwhelm Aggregor who absorbed the Omnitrix. Aggregor himself stated he would have chosen Alex over Neo as an apprentice if he was born years earlier. He is the leader of Team Omni, holding the greatest authority over a mighty and diverse crew consisting of several infamous members, many of whom are extremely powerful in their own right. Alex has a tremendous amount of influence over his teammates, so much so that they all trust him with their lives, despite his arrogant behavior. One of Alex's greatest qualities is that he can become massively more powerful in an unthinkably short amount of time. To the amazement of friend and foe alike, Alex has continuously defeated people who are renowned throughout the universe for their incredible strength and skill. Despite his ever-growing list of accomplishments in battle, Alex continues to be frequently underestimated by opponents due to his appearance, age and the fact he lacks any superpowers. These traits have often proved to be an advantage for him, as it gives him leeway toward options opponents would not expect. After training with the Order of the White Lotus and going to the Isolon University of Magic in part 3, he showcased highly advanced skill, evidenced by his rapid rise through the ranks. Through sheer determination and training however, his skills rapidly improved to defeat strong opponents like Bolin Hyūga, Silvia, and Yusuke Hana, earning acknowledgement from all the Sannin and Yonkō for his potential. Under various tutelage, Alex was able to defeat various S-rank students from rival universities such Saleel al-Shakir and Micaiah Adphyra, ultimately earning praise from the Council as Saidakin material. Alex personally defeated various reincarnated kings, Hybrid shifters and Elemental jinchūriki during the 4th great war. He also could compete against if not defeat world-threatening opponents, such as Déméchrelle, Queen Sineria, Alcazath, and Ayame. Many believe Alex was the central key to winning the war. As he got older and continued to train, he gradually became able to naturally access larger portions of his power while retaining conscious control of himself. It was not until he was a young adult could he fully access his true capacities at will. Even afterwards however, Alex's potential growth was still seemingly limitless as he would still show a mighty increase in power from his rage or desire, as would regularly training to which, Alex's natural growth rate is also remarkably high even by human standards. Even Old Kai, a Supreme Kai with the power to perceive and unlock one's hidden potential, was baffled by the sheer vastness of Alex's inner capacities and struggled to release it. During the Felaryan Revolutionary War in part 4, his prowess is so great, he is able to fight against and defeat the Guardians and the Ps'isol Council along with the Vishmitals, reaching status as a war hero. By adulthood and popularity, his prowess made him the first Felaryan President, regarded as the strongest person in history and having command of overwhelming power. With help from Team Omni, he overpowered a transformed Matsuda Ōtsutsuki and pushed Ishikawa's Ōtsutsuki's vessel to its limit, with the latter admitting that her vessel was too weak to defeat Alex without his assistance. In fact, Furgus believes that Alex and Team Omni are the only ones capable of defeating Ishikawa in her imperfect reincarnation, something that he himself also believe in. Once fighting at his absolute peak, Alex was able to overcome Ishikawa in a way that made her afraid for her life. Ultimately, he is regarded as a legendary individual and is referred to as the strongest person, with his strength being thought to be able to destroy everything at full power. Alex is hailed as having been one of, if not the strongest Presidents of all time, considered nearly unstoppable in battle. Ultimately, Alex's immeasurable potential has made him believed to be incomparable and even unbeatable for any other fighter when he is at his absolute peak. As President of Felarya, he retains the highest status among all future presidents even post-mortem. A prodigy of combat, he learned a great deal while a young child and would continue to near-effortlessly learn practically any new technique he encountered. His natural talent for battle along with his unwavering drive have taken his power to unprecedented levels to the point of reaching and rivaling the domain of the Gods of Destruction. Ultimately, Alex's immeasurable potential has made him believed to be incomparable and even unbeatable for any other fighter when he is at his absolute peak. As President of Felarya, he retains the highest status among all future presidents even post-mortem. Very few people are known to have ever matched Alex in battle except for his fellow teammates of Team Omni and the Gods themselves. His might far surpasses Corvo, the second strongest mortal warrior of Universe 10 and a God of Destruction candidate whose training can wield said power for additional might. Furthermore, he was the original choice to be the next Universe 10 Destroyer, but turned it down. Despite possessing no godly ki, Alex has already surpassed the domain of a God of Destruction, since the Destroyer of his universe, Sontis, cannot beat him in combat, making him famous in the other universes as the only mortal that Gods of Destruction cannot defeat. The sheer power his very presence gives off is monstrously overwhelming, able to affect vast distances and acting as a perfect barrier to all but the strongest of foes and their attacks. In his elderly age, Alex is one of the strongest humans in history, and the strongest fighter of his generation. A legendary champion of the World Martial Arts Tournament, simply knowing that students of his were competing in the said tournament left all spectators in awe. Despite his advanced age reducing his natural stamina and endurance while also reducing his peak performance, he makes up for it with super efficiency both physically and mentally, able to easily read his opponent's movements and battle tactics, allowing him to move with minimal needed effort. His experience and intuition have honed his natural instincts to become fully aware of his surroundings to the point practically being able to move against threats automatically. A grandmaster of all martial arts and hand-to-hand combat styles, along with their respective techniques and skills, Alex is an outstandingly versatile fighter and tactician, able to quickly see through an opponent's skills and effortlessly change his own methods to best suit the situation. At the same time, he is deceptively strong for his frail form, able to move at blazing speeds and move massive structures with his bare hands, all while at base power without the Omnitrix. Despite his apparent retirement from active fighting and acknowledging his days as the strongest are long over, he still continues to train alone.

**Powers**:

**Artificially Enhanced Physiology**: As a member of both the Macgrath and Nikolayevna family, he has a high physical capability and is eight times stronger than the average human. As a Macgrath, Alex is a natural polymath. Compared to their foes, the Macgrath family didn't specialize in just one area, instead mastering combat, naval combat, and aerial combat to give themselves a wide variety of skills to combat their enemies. Due to this, they acquired the nickname a thousand skills or a thousand hands in reference to their being "the family with a thousand skills". By mastering chemistry, criminology, forensics, martial arts, gymnastics, disguise, escape artistry, and various other forms of skills, the Macgraths held an upper hand over their enemies as they were extremely versatile and had no direct counter, inheriting the eidetic memory and photographic memory derived from Asura Macgrath. Through his inherit genes, Alex possessed a powerful life-force and physical energy. From this, he had tremendous stamina and resilience, adept at hand to hand combat, learn techniques incredibly fast, superhuman levels of strength, durability, speed, agility, stamina, reflexes, coordination, senses, healing, and lifespan, beyond peak human condition due to a perfected genetic bloodline.

In his blood, he possess over twenty kinds of endorphins and, combined with his abnormal physical resilience, he possess, whether it be from slashing attacks or being smashed to the ground due to being so advanced and naturally strong that their genetics get passed down to a genetic potential, thus becoming a family specialized for battle. He has greatly enhanced senses, especially his sense of smell. By concentrating to his nose, this sense is amplified to an even greater extent allowing him to be able to detect, track and monitor targets from a fairly long distance away. As the product of two super soldiers, Alex exhibited enhanced abilities due to him being born with the Super-Soldier Serum from both his parents. Alex inherited advantageous genes and traits from his parents which gives him an unrivaled intellectual and physical potential, as well as other genetic traits that were beyond that of a normal human being, thereby making him genetically perfect with latent potential, an innate aptitude for all combat-oriented skills, limitless physical potential, and an advanced growth rate. The experiments he underwent as an infant inside the artificial womb uses an combination of various performance enhancing drugs and mutagenic compounds provided to him by the greatest minds of both the Macgrath and Nikolayevna families. Meaning, Alex gains enhanced speed, agility, strength, endurance, durability, healing, instincts, and senses to Super-Soldier levels with him being no longer to age & regenerates from injuries at a very fast rate, allowing him to perfectly cheat death on several occasions with his metabolism/immune system have been enhanced even further. Alex's senses are enhanced so he can now see in total darkness, track any scent, and hear an enemy's heartbeat.

These procedures ultimately mean that Alex is built specifically to hunt and kill human prey. He has cat-like eyes that grant very acute nightvision. He can constrict his pupils to see in blinding light or open them to see in near pitch darkness. His entire sensory system is overall enhanced, allowing him to identify the species of animal from the scent of their blood, and detect nearby beings even when out of sight.

He has exceptionally increased strength, speed, reflexes, and endurance, far beyond any normal or well-trained human, that allows him to swiftly end fights with minimal effort, and perform physical feats regular people couldn't hope to match. Alex's physical abilities are sufficient to defeat most combatants single-handedly when combined with extensive training and proper weaponry, whereas regular men could only hope to accomplish this in large groups. Alex have also been known to shrug off hits that would render normal men unconscious, and survive the strikes of powerful monsters, such as giants or other beings possessing herculean strength, that would otherwise kill humans with a single blow. He also develop a sixth sense that allows him to "feel" things around him, be it items of importance or people's immediate intentions. This explains his uncanny ability to track and hunt people. He has accelerated healing granting quick recovery from injuries, an Incredibly long lifespan and prolonged youth. These advancements made Alex unnaturally powerful compared to other children of his age and even able to compete with well trained adults and hold his own. He can heal from minor injuries within seconds with no lingering signs, regenerate lost limbs over time, and does not require food or water for sustenance. Alex can morph his fingernails into claws, possesses infrared ray detection and can hear low-frequency waves. He has some resistance to mind control and a heightened resistance to fire. Alex's body structure is exceptionally resilient, able to endure more damage than most. Also, his immune system can resist more infections as well as recover from those he cannot in short periods of time. He naturally possess an incredibly strong life-forces. As such, he has a very long lifespan and likewise age slower. This also enables him to survive and endure much more severe injuries while likewise able to recover from injuries and exhaustion with much greater efficiency in short periods of time. These traits are strong enough to survive the removal of the Omnitrix, although he was still left severely weakened afterwards. His parents were known to have experimented on Alex, enough to make him immune to poisons. Alex possessed a unique genetic make-up that would completely accept any new genetic material, be it tissue, organs or entire limbs, without a chance of rejection, allowing him to fully integrate it into his being. Doing so also allowed Alex to make use of any genetic modification at its full potential. In part 1, due to his training with his parents, Alex is in peak physical fitness. He has undergone an evidently vigorous and intensive training regimen under his parents and family, Alex has exercised his physical form to near-perfection for someone of his age for the purposes of defending himself. His parents used harsh and unorthodox training methods to make him grow stronger, such as leaving him alone in the wilderness as a young child or throwing him into a bottomless pit, as well as several years of further rigorous training in the extremely harsh environments of the desert and snowy mountains. Alex possessed immense physical strength and endurance which he attained from the extremely rigorous training in the harsh environment of the wilderness that consisted of him hunting and fighting wild beasts since childhood and traveling in precarious trap-filled locations. His incredible physical prowess was supplemented by his extraordinary fighting skills. Even in his early childhood, he was able to beat some local thugs who spoke ill of his family "half to death" and during his first meeting with Alma, he was also shown sitting on top of a huge bull he killed with his staff. As a child, he could also easily break a giant tree with a single kick. In his childhood, before he acquired the Omnitrix, Alex was able to beat Kevin in every single sparring match, despite Kevin's untrained abilities. His strength could unearth a massive tree root from the ground, and even though Delsin could predict his moves with the Assassins Instinct in their spar, his body wasn't fast enough to react to them. As per his training Alex has worn heavy ankle weights even in fights and became much faster when they're removed, enabling him to become the first person ever to bypass Wade's Shield and strike him. Due to Alex's extensive training, he has shown to be able to run and fight even while unconscious or asleep, using nothing but pure muscle memory. In part 2, after watching his family die in front of him at the hands of Vilgax, Alex has dedicated his life to be as close to human perfection both physically and mentally in case his Omnitrix times out and not to overly on it. Through intense training, a specialized diet, and biofeedback treatments, Alex represents the natural pinnacle of human physical prowess. A doctor once commented that he is in the "perfect physical health". His physical attributes exceeded that of almost any Olympic level athlete. His strength, speed, stamina, agility, reflexes, endurance, balance and coordination are in peak human perfection. Ever since he was 10, Alex began his physical and mental conditioning, and followed by intense physical training and weight lifting at age 12. He had mastered full body control by the time he was 13. Alex Macgrath, since his childhood, has followed a strict diet to enable his body to develop and operate at its most proficient, along with biofeedback treatments (using portable/non portable machines to stimulate muscles to contraction). Alex has performed amazing physical feats due to his pinnacle physique. He engages in an intensive regular regimen of vigorous exercise (including aerobics, weight lifting, gymnastics, and simulated combat) to keep himself in peak condition, and has often defeated opponents whose size, strength, or other powers greatly exceeded his own as for example, he defeated a Appoplexian in armed combat. Dr. Feng Lingxin has stated Alex’s condition is "second to none," and described its potential as being "the next step in human evolution," while still remaining completely human, but often called the "perfect man." He possesses physical and mental prowess superior to any Olympic-level athlete that has ever competed. Also, his condition and training regime is definite, meaning that if Alex choose to live an unhealthy lifestyle, none of his conditioning would weaken, and it will keep him in top physical form. He has also learned all the ancient meditation techniques of the Byzantine Era, allowing him an improved healing speed. He is strong enough to punch an individual through a wooden or thin-metal door; able to break thin steel bars with his bare hands; fast enough to catch-up or outrun moving vehicles; able to exert himself to peak capacity for hours; producing top-endurance and lung capacity; agile enough to climb the tallest of buildings, leap to high feats into the air and distant miles; reflexive enough to quickly dodge multiple gunfire, incoming attacks, and fast motions, accurate enough to achieve multiple small and further distant targets, capable of living longer than the average-person, durable enough to withstand normal and enhanced physical/projectile attacks, intelligent enough to understand complex problems better than average humans, he can heal himself in very short-periods of time, flexible enough to coordinate his limbs perfectly and his combat skills are advanced enough to defeat large groups of enemies. He has spent his entire life in pursuit of physical perfection and has attained it through constant intensive training and determination. He can hold his breath underwater for 6 minutes. Due to the experiments from Servantis, Alex has underwent extensive experimental hormonal treatments to become a genetically perfected "super-soldier". Alex’s physiology was changed permanently. First, the procedure crippled his mind, spirit, and body. Then, the experiment rebuilt his physical and mental faculties further than a human could process or build. These enhancements make him at the low levels of superhuman conditioning. The Super Soldier Serum enhanced all of Alex's bodily functions, such as his strength, durability, speed, agility, stamina, reflexes, senses, healing, coordination, willpower, intelligence, instincts, lifespan, flexibility, dexterity, and equilibrium to superhuman levels. The Augmentation procedures included Carbide Ceramic Ossification, Muscular Enhancement Injections, Catalytic Thyroid Implant, Occipital Capillary Reversal, and Superconducting Fibrification of Neural Dendrites. Servantis states after the augmentations that Alex will only get better as he adjust to the augmentation. Therefore, many of his attributes have increased through time. He possesses limitless physical energy, stamina, vitality and virility; he can keep working, fighting, and moving almost indefinitely. Even without training, his muscles are brawny and his perfect body shape doesn't change. He has the ability to see perfectly even in low light conditions or even total darkness. He is capable of near complete, precise control of the movements and functions of all his muscles, bones, flesh, blood, organs, nerves, hair, and veins, and he can control them with both conscious and/or subconscious command. This makes him immune to forced motor control by others and allows him to adjust or improve body functions. Inhuman feats include: balancing on a small arm water wing, destroying a school building while constricted by tiny wires, and quickly moving three members of the Student Council into lockers in seconds before a giant explosion occurred. His physical appearance, muscle mass, etc. were enhanced and perfected, becoming extremely attractive and handsome. Alex became a very tall, very well-built elegant man with a compelling voice and overwhelming authoritative charisma. He permanently has flawless skin, perfect dentition, beautiful, spiky hair, "perfect golden-proportioned body," brawny and well-toned muscles, and he is extremely "well-endowed". His passively secretes powerful pheromones that make him irresistibly attractive to women. Studying his DNA, results in nothing unusual, as he is still biologically a perfect human. Alex's skin is immune to sunburns, extreme temperatures, and repels everything such as poisons and cosmetics such as hair dye. Alex's skin is very elastic and can be stretched and compressed into wrappings. Also, the Super Soldier Serum gave him the ability to adapt to anything and limitless potential, enabling him to learn and use any skill with proper time and training. Alex uses this in combat mostly in speed based attacks, dashing and dazzling his opponents with lightning-quick moves. The Super Soldier Serum also healed all of his ailments, physical and genetic imperfections instantly, giving him a perfect body better than that of a man in his physical prime. It also prevents him from getting intoxicated by alcohol, meaning he cannot get drunk. He has the strength to send men flying with one strike, overpower a Venom-Powered Soldier with relative ease, dodge rapid gunfire, think complex strategies instantaneously, not tire for days of physical activity & go without sustenance for days or weeks, endure a massive amount of pain & damage, is immune to damage done by small firearms & can rapidly heal from any injury. His healing abilities, augmented metabolism & enhanced physiological health prevent him from naturally dying, either by age or disease or being killed by almost any means, therefore this highlights his apparent immortality. In addition to physical attributes, his brain capacity begin to absorb knowledge instantaneously. The serum also altered his brain chemistry to make him hypercognitive in the area of skill observation and retention. This particular enhancements was an elaborate modification of the adrenal steroid cortisol, which even enhanced Alex's short-term and long-term memory. Alex's evolved mind also allows him to access his brain functions on a cellular level, granting him enhanced physical attributes. The powers he gained put him 'on the top of the food chain' as they are even greater than those of Captain America, who is himself considered a pinnacle of human evolution. Alex is better, stronger, faster and more cunning than any human, coupled with his skills, Alex truly is a dangerous and deadly adversary. Alex also possess a heightened intellect that allows him to quickly learn and adapt. Additionally, he was gifted with the ability to innately understand all human languages, including those currently dead such as Ancient Greek, Latin, Sumerian or Turkish Ottoman. Presumably, his incredible learning capability allows him to quickly learn non-human languages as well.

**Enhanced Strength**: In part 1, despite his size, weight, and frame, Alex has the strength that matches or even surpasses most full-grown men, allowing him to easily overpower larger and heavier opponents. Alex's physical strength is considerably higher than that of an ordinary adult due to the conditioning he received from his family. At just ten, he was able to punch a depression into a wall, with no apparent injury. He later broke a A.I.M Trooper's helmet with the back of his fist. He and Delsin restrained a mutant, and he can also snap a Kunai. He and Delsin were able to lift and throw the immensely heavy Brick. Alex has displayed his strength on several occasions. Before his training, he was able to open a 16-ton gate and after his training, he opened the 64-ton gate. He can easily lift boulders several times his own weight and bisect massive trees with a single strike. He was able to rip off a Droid's head with one swift motion and crush it in his hand, as well as to pierce the exoskeletons of two Droids with his bare hands and minimum strength expenditure. Alex was able to effortlessly transport a Master of the Swamp while running, a fish so heavy that five grown men could not land it by pulling together. After training for 20 days at the Nikolayevna's Family's estate, he became capable of pushing a gate weighing 4 tons open, as well as of shattering rock pillars with a punch and sending opponents several times his size than him crashing into a wall a few dozen meters away by pushing with just one hand. Later on, at the Arena, he proved strong enough to lift and throw the ring's stone tiles without effort, snap a metal rod in two with a punch, and break a metahuman's wrists in a split second just by grabbing them. He was able to beat Kevin, in arm-wrestling, and once also Charmcaster, while using Assassins Mode. It is unknown how much he can press after learning Assassins Mode, but the power of his attack has shown to terrorize even experienced fighters. With the same attack, he was allegedly able to blast a Droid through multiple walls. After training at home with his parents, Alex managed to open the first door of the Testing Gate, whose total weight is 4 tons. His strength increases when using both Assassins Mode and Soldier's Rage. With it, his blows become more destructive, to the point he can not only inflict pain to Von despite the latter's body being impervious to bullets, but also inflict damage on him. Alex's physical strength was shown when he grabbed an armed police officer’s wrist and twisted it to the opposite direction. Then when fighting against Doctor Light, he lifted him from behind to then have him pinned to the ground as well as strangled him with his legs while he was chained. He was even able put Hank Hall in a chokehold, to hold him long enough before hitting the latter in the back of the head with a pistol which knocks out and tossed a man out of a several stories window. He even punched Crane to the point of his mouth bleeding before becoming unconscious with one to two strikes of impact. In part 2, Alex regularly bench-presses at least 1,000 lbs. during his exercise routine. This allows him to be capable of doing amazing feats such as punching a SWAT officer through a brick wall. He's able to break steel handcuffs, and bend prison bars with his bare hands. He once pulled the maximum weight of 300 lbs scale bar behind him with all his effort, using one arm. In terms of brute strength, Alex is one of the strongest non-metahumans alive. He can break steel chains and cuffs with ease, smash stone barehanded, punch down 3-inch chromium-steel doors, support a ceiling that weighed 1000 lbs over his head for an extended period of time, and rip metal prison bars with his bare hands. Alex has demonstrated enough strength to easily overpower dozens of men at once, effortlessly lifting a full grown man in the air with one arm and throwing him several meters, tear off an airplane door in mid-flight with one arm, slowing down a speeding car with his grapple gun, and even punch a SWAT officer through a brick wall with no strain, giving the officer internal injuries. Cando a near-metahuman once stated that Alex "hits harder than most beings with superhuman strength." Alex also has more than strong enough to pull 5 men over in a tug-o-war match with one arm, kick a concrete pillar in half while his legs were damaged, lift an entire bench-press bar with one arm and throw it like a bowling-ball, kick a thick tree in half during his early days, and break or bend guns with his mere grip on many occasions, all performed with casual ease. During his exercise regimes, Alex could bench-press at least 1 ton (more or less), dumbbell curl tens of hundreds of pounds without even flinching, and do over 300 lbs of tricep extensions while injured. Using highly effective muscle control, Alex can apply practically superhuman force in his physical attacks, able to overpower Appoplexians and Tetramand (despite their superior strength). His physical strength is enhanced to the very peak of human potential, making him consistently able to sustain lifts 800 lbs (363 kg). His strength was at the very highest peak of human potential and is easily one of the strongest humans alive. Having intensively and regularly trained his body to its utmost limit he is said to have the strength of 10 men. While biologically human, Alex can apply practically superhuman force in his attacks by using highly effective strength and muscle control. He can effortlessly snap steel handcuffs and chains, slam through walls, pry open large heavy steel doors, and punch an armored SWAT officer through a brick wall. Alex has also demonstrated enough strength to instantly tear nailed fastened metal bars/structures and dismantled machines barehanded, rag doll a thug hard enough to destroy a large table, lift a full-grown man over his head with one arm and even throw them several meters in combat. His highest feats of his strength were overpowering Killer tiger and breaking out of the grips of the monstrously strong golem, with a grappling hook he could pull down a Titan golem without tiring. He was also able to engage King tiger in hand-to-hand combat as well as punch through his superhumanly dense hide. Alex possesses enough strength to break a holographic construct Tiger’s back, throw Marvin through a concrete wall, throw a refrigerator with exerted effort and easily use a bed mattress as a weapon. He had even been able to damage Ben in his Four Arms form. Alex can easily lift a man with one hand. His greatest feats of strength were breaking through a man legs made from titanium. Thanks to his control over his central nervous system due to his many years of martial arts training, Alex can increase his strength to peak human level. He is strong enough to tip over a limo without straining, causally pick a man up and throw him, easily break a man's leg and rupture skin with a single kick, and lift Foggy's weights up easily with one hand. He has also shown the strength to use a mailbox as a weapon, was able to hurt Kevin, and throw his baton with enough force to break concrete. Alex has demonstrated that he is capable of easily curling and utilizing a four-hundred pound barbell as a staff weapon, wielding it quickly and easily enough to strike two heavily mesomorphic opponents hard enough to render them unconscious, and fast enough to prevent them from being able to defend themselves. His physical strength is noticeably superior to any Olympic-class weightlifter and far superior to normal humans, allowing him to press lift approximately 800 lbs (363 kgs) His legs extends with his strength enabling him to vertically leap approximately 10 feet off the ground and 15 feet in a standing broad jump. He was able to bulldog a 3000 lb. black rhinoceros, and a 5-ton black rhinoceros. He has been seen to easily lifting a grown man with one arm and throwing him, tearing through a thin wall with just one hand, and wrestling a 20-foot long crocodile while using both of his hands. He is extremely strong and is at peak human range, having been rigorously trained by the athletes best in the world then further training from himself to his very limit of strength. He could easily pin Phish down with one leg, punch him hard enough to send him rolling a few meters across an entire room, and even broke free of his stranglehold when Fugvird ambushed him near the forever knight’s long-range missile launcher; feats that cannot be accomplished by an ordinary man. With one kick, he could break a locked high-strength steel door open and carried Ogasawara across his shoulder with absolutely no strain. Alex at the peak of his strength and using muscle control can easily tear metal structures, lift a full-grown man over his head with one hand and throw him several meters. His strength is at the maximum limit of human conditioning. He is capable of over-head lifting several times his own body weight (2 times at the minimum), up to an 800-1,000 lbs level (about 360 to 500 kg) and bench-press up to 1,100-1,500 lbs level (about 500 to 680 kg). He would be able to surpass feats of any Olympic class weightlifter, allowing him to lift objects on his own that would normally require multiple people, break thin chains or steel cuffs, bend metal bars, and break down doors and walls with a single strike. Offensively, he is able to knock people out with one offensive impact, tear limbs off, crush skulls, overpower multiple opponents, punch an enemy through a thin brick wall, lifting a full-grown person in the air with one arm, and even throwing them several meters. His strength is strong enough to wrestle or even overpower wild animals such as large bears and gorillas. Only in specific circumstances when the situation is dire and demands more from him, he reveals the true labor of his potential. While nearly depleted, Alex managed to deliver at least three blows on khyber, that managed to shock and stagger him a little bit. He was able to break through a thin brick wall, and break a small motorcycle in half with a single kick. Alex managed to pierce through the skull of a android just by throwing a coin at it, while unrestrained. When going all out, he and a Orc destroyed a cave when fighting each other, which took everything Alex had just to challenge him and destroyed the Cave in the process. He has shown being strong enough to endure and fight for several hours on Kandor which has 5x the gravity of Earth. Alex has been shown being strong enough to harm and defeat a giant mutated soldiers, singlehandedly. When not holding back, Alex has shown capable of beating back nearly a dozen deformed rotting clones, alongside the Copper Lee to a stalemate. He is strong enough to break through a submarine hull with a single punch, effortlessly lift a man over his head with one hand and throw him several meters through an airplane window, casually kick an airplane door off the hinges while it's flying, send Deathstroke flying with a kick, break the neck and arm of a superhuman Talon, throw an alien with one hand, flip Susie Sue on her head (she weighs over 600 lbs), hold the roof of a collapsed building and support the weight of a enormous cruise missile for an extended period of time. Alex's strength and brute force is comparable, if not equal to Batman's and is practically superhuman; showcased when he cut a dinosaur's head off with one slice, overpowered a large group of Venom-users, struck Lobo to the floor, leg flipped Bane on his head even Supergirl commented that "he is far stronger than any human" and "no human should be this powerful". This type of strength also extends to his legs, allowing him to jump very high heights and leap long distances. Using highly effective muscle control, Alex can apply practically superhuman force in his physical attacks to match Meta-human super-soldiers like Ravager (who easily has the strength of 10 men, possibly a dozen or more). Alex once knocked out a thug and disarmed another thug with Chinese Coins. Capable of knocking out a hired sniper assassin with a golf stroke. He even managed to break the tail rotor of a helicopter, with the use of a small dagger. When it comes to Alex's strength, he usually holds back most of the time, choosing to limit his real power. Only in specific circumstances when the situation is dire and demands more from him, he reveals the true labor of his potential. While nearly depleted, Alex managed to deliver at least three blows on Bane while he was using Venom, that managed to shock and stagger Bane a little bit. When it comes Alex's strength according to Deathstroke, Alex's blows would have a lasting effect on him even after Slade's wounds heal. Alex even managed to overpower Starfire in a brawl between him and the Teen Titans and Young Avengers. Due to Servantis's experiments, his physical strength is enhanced to superhuman levels. He is strong enough to lift at least 2-5 tons and much more if he pushes; for instance, Angela stated that Alex could "bench-press a Toyota". Alex has been able to perform feats throughout his career such as stopping a 5 ton pine tree, which is capable of easily crushing Jeeps, from falling on a group of soldiers, curling 500 kg/1000 lbs, and physically bending metal with his bare hands. He has demonstrated that he is strong enough to knock out people with normal durability with as little as a tap to the head. He has also consistently shown the ability to hurt Ben as Four Arms in hand-to-hand combat, as well as pushed Kevin Levin to his limits, who has lifted a 15 ton truck, during in their shoving match. Alex has shown enough strength to knock Humungousaur to the ground. On one occasion, he was able to hurt Rath’s face with a shield. His physical strength is enhanced to levels that are much greater than normal humans and has been said by Alex himself that his strength is that of ten men. He has incredible strength, can exert 1000 kg/cm2 of force with each fingertip and toes. He can dismember opponents with his bare hands and feet. Alex is strong enough to effortlessly rip people to pieces, break wood with his hands and bend steel. Alex's strength is particularly high even among those who underwent the Super Soldier Serum experiments and he can eradicate and hurl entire trees. Alex has considerable strength, enough to maim and kill normal humans with a single strike. He has demonstrated the ability to cut through humans in half wearing body armor using only his hands, and smash through wood, stone and metal with ease. In his fight against Khyber, he created a massive crater by slamming his foe into the ground. Perhaps most impressively, in his the fight with Drax, the force of their blows were enough to fell an entire warehouse.

**Enhanced Jaws**: His jaws are much stronger than any regular humans, enabling him to bite through much harder materials without harm to himself or his teeth.

**Enhanced Attacking Speed**: Alex can punch and kick with enough speed to make the blow invisible to the naked eye, create a miniature sonic boom, or slam holes through four feet of solid steel.

**Enhanced Reflexes**: In part 1, Alex's possesses far more reflexes than a normal human of his age. Alex has shown to react very quickly in combat. In As impressive as Alex's attack and movement speed, if not even more so, are his reactions: he can dodge a bullet moving at extreme velocity even if it is fired within 57 cm of his body. Coupled with his superhuman eyesight, Alex's quick reflexes allow him to always win at rock-paper-scissors by looking at the opponent's fist right before the throw. He was able to see through the last stage of Cody's coin game, whereas Leon and Chris were not able to follow his movements at all, as well as follow Wally's passes and throws, unlike Tera. He can catch bullets with one of his chains and restrain a target with another in 0.5 seconds from a fair distance, and in approximately 0.2 or 0.3 from only a few meters. His reaction speed is capable of shooting an armed thug before he could fire his gun, deflected Delsin's shuriken and anticipate the approach of one of his escrima sticks being thrown towards him to catch it at fast pace. Alex even dodge from each of Scarecrow strikes when he swung a scythe at him before he ran off. In part 2, Alex’s reflexes were honed to such a degree that he has caught one of Speedy's arrow in mid flight when he tried to shoot him. He is able to dodge gunfires at close range. His reflexes are seemingly superhuman, and is far superior to normal humans. He is able to quickly react to instantaneously to simultaneous attacks from multiple enemies and dodge rapid gunfire at point-blank range on many occasions, though he can get hit if there are to many to evade. Alex reflexes were honed to such a degree that he has caught one of an Elven soldier’s arrows in mid flight from behind when he tried to shoot him. Alex himself mentally stated in mid-combat that he literally perceives bullets in slow motion, and normal humans moves are also telegraphed in slow motion to him, as evident on another incident when he noted that it takes less than a second for him to cripple 3 men. He has also been shown to catch a grenade and throw it back at the enemy, catch a speeding baseball at the last moment, disarm multiple gangsters before any of them could pull the trigger, block a crossbolt from only 5 feet away, dodge kryptonian heat-vision and deflect 4 high-speed shuriken at once with one throwing knife. His reflexes are amplified to the highest human potential. and is said to have a reaction time ten times faster than a normal person. He has been shown which makes it possible for him to dodge gunfire, from multiple shooters simultaneously. Alex reflexes were at the highest peak of human potential and perfection; this means that his reactions were far superior to normal humans and were borderline-superhuman. He could catch a fired arrow in midair, dodge offensive attacks, and perform amazing physically defensive feats. He could even evade strikes from beings with super speed, and dodge multiple gunfire at point-blank range with ease. His immense reflexes can also be used to attack and counter instead of just defensive purposes, allowing him to respond to fast-paced combat with devastating counters when fighting extraordinary quick opponents. During Alex’s successful attempt to retrieve his car from Karbainov Tarasov's Chop Shop, he dodges a car going at least 40 mph in eight-tenths of a second. Without his fast reflexes, he would have possibly died. Also, at the Continental Hotel (during his pursuit of Nenashev Timofei), Marcus shoots Alex pillow in order to alert him to a threat. It takes him only 1.2 seconds to understand the shot's purpose, correctly assess the situation, and react effectively. His reaction time are beyond the natural limits of an Olympic-level athlete, allowing him to dodge multiple gunfire at point-blank range with ease. He has been noted to have reflexes faster than an actual panther. His advanced reactions were honed to the highest human limit, far better than normal humans, even though this ability was not classified as 'superhuman'. He could easily match Jan’s own reflexes during their short fight, and even dodge bullets fired at him from Skullface at point-blank range, while still reacting to simultaneous attacks. His reflexes are at the Peak of Human Potential and Perfection; this means that his reactions are comparable to those of the finest human athlete and are near-enhanced. He can catch a fired arrow in midair, respond to extremely fast-paced combat, and perform amazing physically defensive feats; He could even evade strikes from beings with super speed, and dodge multiple gunfire with ease. Similar to his speed, his reflexes and reaction time is honed to an extraordinary rate and is seemingly superhuman; and is far superior to normal humans. He is capable of quickly reacting and dodging rapid gunfire at point-blank range from multiple gunmen while evading simultaneous attacks from multiple enemies on many occasions, though he can get hit if there are to many to evade. Alex's reflexes allow him to casually weave through machine-gun fire on a regular basis and block an arrow with his knife. Due to Servantis's experiments, Alex’s reflexes border on superhuman level. His reaction speed is 40 kph, which makes it possible for him to dodge gunfire, even at short range, from multiple gunmen at the same time; however, on one occasion, it was seen that during his training, he can get shot by a bullet if there were too many to evade. His reflexes are similarly enhanced. His reaction speed is ten times faster than normal humans, allowing him to automatically and casually dodge point blank gunfire from multiple assailants. He's able to instantly discern the motivations of people and situations, allowing him to instantly act and react to danger. His body is capable of automatically reacting to any threat or attack without him having to acknowledge about it. He can move, react, and maneuver himself in microseconds as well as process information as quickly. Alex's reflexes are more than sufficient for him to perceive bullets and superhuman movement in slow-motion.

**Enhanced Momentum**: Alex can control the acceleration of his own body, allowing him to attack or dodge anything without warning and at peak perfection. Alex can generate great amounts of physical force through kinetic energy, even in a stationary position. His speed lets him channel the force into powerful strikes, Alex can swing a blade with enough force to slice a wall and still cut clean through a person. Alex's physical abilities are heightened to the point where he can perform any physical act without difficulty. He merely needs to imagine himself doing the act in his mind, then he is able to perform it without any problem. This could range from free running, to juggling swords, to doing multiple back-flips.

**Enhanced Dexterity**: Alex possesses superhuman dexterity that enables him to achieve any feat with his feet as proficiently as his hands. Furthermore, his manual and pedal dexterity is so great that he can write using both hands at once or tie knots in rope with his toes. He is also superhumanly ambidextrous, able to use both of his hands and feet with equally superhuman proficiency.

**Enhanced Flexibility**: All of the bones in Alex's body, including his skull, are malleable and his muscle tissue is exceedingly resilient, making him body extremely flexible and pliant. This enables him to stay in a crouched position for an indefinite amount of time and perform virtually any contortionist-type feats without any harm to his spinal column whatsoever. He is triple-jointed, enabling him to bend his body in anyway imaginable. It is nearly impossible for him to break a bone or tear a muscle. Hence, Alex can stretch and bend his body in ways that would tear ligaments and survive impacts that would kill or inflict major injury upon a normal human being with little or no injury to himself. Alex is extraordinarily limber and his tendons and connective tissues are four times as elastic as the average human being is, despite their enhanced strength. This greatly helps in combination with the rest of his physical prowess, as he is able to move and bend in ways that would normally harm someone without harm befalling him whatsoever. He can compress his body very tightly, so that he can fit through tight spaces, about 4 inches in diameter.

**Enhanced Balance, Coordination, and Equilibrium**: He has the uncanny ability to achieve a state of perfect equilibrium in virtually any position imaginable in any location. However, he seems to instinctively know how to adjust his position in order to maintain perfect balance on any object, no matter how narrow or small it may be. His coordination is beyond superhuman, as he is able to coordinate the entirety of his muscular system in order to execute any task he desires.

**Enhanced Kinesthesia and Proprioception**: Alex possesses the superhuman ability to sense the position of any part of his body in correlation to any other part of the body. This enables him to determine the status of any of his body part’s in correlation to their position. This helps him in evading and dodging enemies, obstacles, dangers, etc.

**Enhanced Durability**: In part 1, Alex can take far more punishment than normal people, such as being hit by larger and heavier opponents without being weakened by it. Alex has an almost inhuman tolerance to damage and pain, which allowed him to climb a tree with a broken wrist as a eight-year-old and allowed him to continue to fight Kevin after his arm was impaled on the latter's blade. But it could be due to the fact that he was trained by his parents at a young age. Alex was unscathed after being kicked in the belly by his mother. He also stated that a blow to the neck that SixSix used to knock out Ben would only leave him stunned. Even being electrocuted with 1,000,000 volts of electricity only causes him to feel pain, but no physical damage. Far more remarkably, he held the ball for Delsin three times when the latter punched it, and, despite the feat being compared to forming the barrel of a cannon with one's naked hands, he used no enhancements to protect them, although he suffered grievous injuries which he was unable to recover from in nearly a month. In part 2, his muscles and bones are far tougher and vastly denser than ordinary humans; making him extremely durable to certain degrees. Augmented by his iron forged willpower, he can tolerate massive amount of physical pain and damage. His physique which is rigorously trained to the uttermost human limit and is extremely tough and resistant to damage, which allows him to survived dangers that would have killed most other people, like being slammed straight through thick reinforced concrete with little to no injury. He is able to withstand being stabbed and shot multiple times, as well as beatings from superhumans such as Yumi, Janet, and withstand a few blows during a brief tussle from Hank despite his vast superhuman strength. Also Alex seems to be highly resistant to the blunt trauma of surviving falls of considerable distance such as multi-story drops and falls, evident when he was stabbed numerous times then kicked out of a building and landed from 30-stories high with little injuries with no armor or gadgets. His durability allowed him to be completely unmoved by a chair being picked up and smashed against his head, and had unnoticeable injuries from a 10,000 volt electric shock. He also once took a bullet to the chest before his suit was armored and lived. His durability is amplified to the highest human potential making him very durable. This has allowed to survive forms of extensive punishment throughout his career that would injure an ordinary man. He is extremely durable due to his training. His muscles and bones are much harder/denser than a normal person. He can survive being hit by attacks of dangerously powerful impact such as Killer tiger violent assault and Titan enhanced punches. He seems resistant enough to withstand several gunshot & puncture wounds as well as beatings and still stand on his feet. Considering his physical condition, Alex’s body is also very durable as he was able to survive (Despite being critically injured) from falling off the Continental Hotel while colliding with other objects before landing flat on the concrete floor. Another example was shown when despite being stabbed and shot multiple times, he didn't lose any of his strengths. His skin, muscle, and bone tissues are augmented to levels that are much denser and harder than normal humans, making him far more durable and resistant to damage to various degrees. He withstood getting smashed on his head by a glass bottle with no visible injury or discomfort. He can withstand blows from superhuman opponents like Jamie, who have the strength to overpower and kill an adult bull elephant with his bare hands. His muscles and bones are much harder/denser than normal humans due to his training, extended beatings from Skullface for a year, and his immense training after his “death”. His rigorously trained body is at the very peak of human durability, meaning he could take getting beaten by a thick metal baseball bat and it would break, regularly falling a couple of stories, getting shot in non-fatal areas of the physical body. Alex can possibly survive an entire building collapse and withstand beatings from untrained super-humans. He has shown feats of bodily resistance to the point that he took a super soldier full unrestrained attacks, and showed minor discomfort when Skullface beat him in the face with a metal crowbar. He has a higher-level of denser/tougher bones and muscles than the average person; his durability is at the peak of human conditioning, which entails that he is capable of withstanding situations that the average person cannot. For example, he can take getting beaten by a thick wooden baseball bat and it would break, falling a couple of stories from a building like 50-100 ft, getting shot in non-fatal areas of the physical body, survive an entire building collapse, and possibly for him that is enhanced, he is able to withstand beatings from superhumans. His muscles and bones are far tougher and vastly denser than ordinary humans; making him extremely durable to certain degrees, enough that he can tolerate massive amounts of physical pain and damage. His physique which is rigorously trained to the uttermost human limit and is extremely tough and resistant to damage, which allows him to survived dangers that would have killed most other people, like being slammed straight through thick reinforced concrete with little to no injury. He is able to withstand being stabbed and shot multiple times. He's survived being blasted with a bazooka, multiple nuclear explosions underwater, being set ablaze by a flamethrower, and withstood blows from superhuman opponents such as Deathstroke, Frankenstrike, Bane (on venom) and more. Due to Servantis's experiments, Alex’s bones and muscles were far denser and harder than before, meaning he could withstand great impacts such as falling several stories when escaping from the hospital by breaking through the windows, sky-diving into the water from a height of 182 meters/600 feet, or being struck by an opponent with super strength that would severely injure or kill a normal human with little to no discomfort. He even withstood getting smashed down on top of a car by Way Big’s hand with little harm other than a sore body. His body is physically tougher and is more resistant to certain types of injury than the average person, making him very durable. He can withstand falling from several stories with no injury. The structure of his tissues give him a nigh-indestructible and impenetrable anatomy with his bones virtually becoming unbreakable. Alex is virtually impervious to all forms of physical harm, injury or pain. His body tissue is far denser than that of a common human, punching him is like hitting a concrete wall and while bullets can pierce his skin, they can't pierce his muscles. Alex's Durability has been similarly enhanced- allowing him to use his strength without sustaining injury. When a normal man repeatably punched Alex, Alex felt no discomfort and the assailant hurt his hand. Alex's durability was such that he was unfazed by a entire Warehouse collapsing on him. When he was shot by seven bullets at close range, rather than penetrating through his chest, they were lodged in his muscles.

**Enhanced Dense Tissue**: Due to the Super Soldier Serum, Alex's bodily tissues have roughly 3 times the density of the same tissues in a human being. While he has the looks and physical proportions of a much smaller person, the increased density of his body actually makes him several hundred pounds heavier than he appears. This increased density also contributes to his superhuman strength to a limited degree and was distributed in such a way as to give Alex massive shoulders, arms, and thighs. His skin was several times as dense as that of a normal human being's and included an additional layer of leathery epidermis. Alex's body is as hard as titanium steel. His muscles and bones tissue are super-dense, granting him much greater resistances to physical injury. He can withstand conventional handgun fire of 4 feet and cannot be cut by the sharpest of blades, although in the event of required surgery his skin can be lacerated with an over-powered medical laser. He can withstand up to one-ton impacts or blasts of 150 pounds of TNT without serious injury, and he is impervious to temperature extremes and electrical shocks. His current level of durability enables him to withstand gunfire at point-blank range, and to withstand being lit on fire without suffering any serious or permanent injuries. He has withstood impacts from superhumans a good deal stronger than himself, destructive energy attacks including electricity, and falls from great heights such as ninety story high skyscrapers.

**Hollow Bones**: Alex's bones are hollow, making him far lighter than he looks and further increasing his athletic and acrobatic skills.

**Enhanced Speed**: In part 1, Alex is significantly faster than other kids of his age. Alex is shown to be able to run at above average speed for a human of his age. He surprise-attacked Delsin (who has super reflexes), avoided gunfire from Thugs, evaded attacks from Vilgax, and tackled Delsin before Aggregor could shoot him with his energy lance. Delsin said he is quick. Alex is extremely quick on his feet. He was able to pluck out Walter's' heart without the serial killer noticing until he saw his own heart. However, his speed was no match for Delsin, who could follow and anticipate his every movement. At the beginning of his training with the Nikolayevnas, he could run 70 km in about 3 hours without breaking a sweat, unlike Delsin. He was subsequently able to outrun Alma in her younger form once, although that might have been partly due to a difference in motivation. When he entered his Parent's training room, he knocked out a maximum of 1488 combat holograms in less than 45 minutes, his speed being such that the few who managed to catch a glimpse of him only saw a shadow. Upon unlocking Soldier's Rage or Assassin Mode, possibly due to becoming capable of devolving his full abilities to offense, Alex's speed increased to the point he was able to cover the distance between himself and Ram and sever the upset Droid's head without him being able to react, whereas previously Ram managed to hold his own against both Alex and Delsin at the same time. He was able to cut a massive tree in two and twist off the arms and head of another Droid soldier in the blink of an eye, as well as to dispatch two more by inflicting two lethal wounds to each within a ridiculously short time frame. Alex regarded his speed as his primary asset in combat, earning Aiden's praise despite being slower than him. His quickness enabled him to dodge some of his father's attacks as well as surprise him for a moment. Despite Aiden proving faster than him, Alex was nonetheless able to follow his movements with his eyes thanks to Assassins Instinct. He was able to cover a distance of several meters and steal a key from a Plumber's hand before the latter could notice. Through training from his parents, Alex ended up becoming Delsin's equal in both running speed and reactions, despite initially being slower. His cruising speed is such that he can leave horses in the dust and keep up with Aiden, and eventually to trade blows evenly with Marcus, although his movement speed remained lower than the Metahuman/Mutant hybrid. Alex is also a fast climber, taking about 20 minutes to climb up the irregular surface of a tree 1784 meters high after the first 500 meters. Alex struck Von various times before he could react and even disappeared out of sight in a space clear of hideouts with a leap. He possesses peak-level speed as he was able to move very quickly when fighting off numerous police officers both armed and unarmed in mere minutes before they could strike him. Alex's physical speed also allows him to disappear at the blink of an eye. When seeking revenge on Pete Hawkins kidnapper of Diego Martinez, Alex chases him in the total darkness where the criminal tries shooting him multiple times but misses as Alex blitzed from each corner to have killed him. In part 2, he can run and move at speeds comparable to the finest competing athletes. He has shown enough speed to catch up a speeding car while running. He can run and move at speeds comparable to the finest human athletes. In combat he is extremely agile and evasive, supplementing his strength with sheer speed to defeat his enemies, he could even match the master assassin Cando combat speed. Occasionally, Alex has shown enough speed to catch up or outrun a speeding car while running on foot. He is capable of moving faster than SWAT can align their weapons as evident that most men can't shoot or even aim guns fast enough to get a bead on him. Alex has outran a huge explosion, ran faster than NPD could even see, catches up to a train, moves faster than an Olympic-Pentatholonist had ever seen, and crosses 10 feet to punch down strange x so fast he could react. He is typically shown and described as running and moving so fast he is a blur. Alex can move at speeds equal to that of the absolute finest human athlete, being capable of running at a sustained 30 mph (48 kph); He was able to complete a 40-yard dash in 3.82 seconds, or a mile "in just over a minute." Alex can move at exceptional speeds, comparable to Olympic-level athletes. Alex was extremely fast with incredibly sharp reflexes, able to avoid destructively dangerous attacks such as Titan enhanced physical attacks, explosive firearms as well as simultaneous assaults from several enemies at once. Trained to be extremely agile, he could even match the superhumanly enhanced master assassin, Dando speed in combat. He possesses peak human speed, able to keep up with and even surpass super soldiers in speed. He has been said to be faster than exoskeleton soldiers. He is capable of sprinting speeds of approximately 30 mph. Alex himself has said that he's fast enough to outrun a moving vehicle. He is also able to match Metahuman's in combat speed (with the exception of speedsters). Similar to his strength, Alex can increase his speed to peak human level. He is capable of sprinting two city blocks in seconds, disappearing, hitting a sniper with his Billy club, and crosses a large distance while getting into costume in seconds. Alex running speed is also above an Olympic-level athletes speed, such as a track and field sprinter/decathlete. He was able to move fast enough to exit a building as it was exploding. He is able to run and move at speeds superior to any Olympic-class runners, He is able to run at speeds up to 35 mph. However, when pushed to his limit, Alex can potentially run up to 41-45 mph. He also has the ability to attack faster than the eye can follow. His combat speed seems more enhanced than anything else, as he has frequently kept up with other enemies in combat, and blitzed people before they pull their trigger fingers. He is immensely fast, with his speed he could catch-up or outrun moving vehicles, likely to always be first in running-races and have great reactions. His speed was at the highest limit of human potential. He was known to be slightly faster than Jan himself, likely due to Jan’s immensely bulked up physique. He was shown to be fast enough to dodge the Negavian police riot suppressor rounds which move as fast as a bullet, and easily keep up with Jan in combat speed. His running speed is superior to the finest warriors in Felarya. He is faster than Olympic class runners. He can run up to 30 mph (48 kph) - 39 mph (62 kph) level and swim at 12-15 knots. With this sort of speed, he could catch-up to or outrun moving vehicles, are likely to always be first in running-races and have great reaction time. His speed is at the highest limit of human potential. Alex's so fast that his punches and kicks are blurs, in combat. Considered faster than his younger self from by Cornelius, due to his youth. Alex is fast enough to tag and destroy an Rook, and even land a few blows on Cooper. Alongside the Rook, he was capable of tagging a number of clones, for a while. He can run and move at incredible speeds comparable to the finest human athletes, much faster than normal humans. He has outran a moving vehicle and hit Green Arrow before he can even react. While unarmed Alex once blitzed an entire GCPD SWAT team before anyone could even pull the trigger. Alex has been noted to have superior combat speed than Nightwing, as he admitted that Alex is a faster fighter than himself. Alex's speed allows him to be more than fast enough to stab Onyx so fast she didn't even notice. His fastest feats of speed to date is accurately shooting a gang of thugs faster than the eye can follow, despite guns already being aimed at him, and evading superhumanly fast spear strikes from an ancient-enhanced martial artist so fast he formed multiple afterimages behind him. He is faster than Nightwing but not Kid Flash. Alex is so fast he was capable of tagging a Wally West and even capable of grabbing Speed. Alex was even fast enough to escape from the Flash's grasp in a building, after having a head start leaving a crime scene. Alex's so quick, that he can change into his Plumber uniform, before Manny could finish a sentence. From his perception, Alex can not only dodge bullets but see them in slow motion. Due to Servantis's experiments, Alex is capable of running and moving at speeds beyond the finest human athlete. He is able to run at speeds between 60 mph and 80 mph, enabling him to run fast enough to expedite "eight or nine blocks" within seconds. He's able to run at speeds greater than the finest human athlete and attack faster than the eyes of a normal human can follow. He is able to run and move at speeds of up to 111-115 mph long distances far out-performing any Olympic athlete. He can move faster than the human eye in a quick speed burst, an effect perhaps created by his always possessing the element of surprise. He normally moves at slightly above human speed but can move so fast that enemies with super speed can't see him, though he can't stay at that speed for long. Alex can move far faster than the human eye can perceive, he moves so fast that during fights he seems to disappear and reappear behind his enemies before they can even react. Before his powers fully manifested, Alex, without looking, was able to effortlessly catch a dodgeball thrown at him. As his powers have developed, he has only become faster. He has effortlessly dodged bullets, blitzed multiple opponents before they could react, and moved his hands so fast that they have acted as makeshift blades. Alex has also pulled a "batman gambit", appearing and disappearing in front of his opponents. However, due to his training, it can assumed this a skill, rather than speed feat.

**Enhanced Leg Muscles**: His powerful leg muscles and bone composition are superhumanly enhanced as well, enabling him to run for incredibly long periods of time and distances, leap several stories in height or over a small house in a single bound, and kick with incredible force and power.

**Enhanced Endurance**: In part 1, Alex's endurance is at the peak of a kid of his age and size. Alex can bear very intense physical pain without his physical or mental abilities being impaired. An excellent example is provided by his confrontation with the Droid Siblings, in which he had his body punctured by several darts and still managed to make calculations and prepare a strategy, even coming up with an idea for a new ability. He fell asleep (or pretended to) while Deathstroke was whipping him, and did not react when the latter burned him with a cigar. He can instantaneously dislodge his joints without seeming to suffer any drawback. Alex has shown to be able to keep fighting even while in tremendous of pain. This is mostly due to his obstinacy and determination more than to a physical predisposition. He did not surrender after three hours of Deathstroke hitting him with his fist or when the droid shinobi broke his arm. He could withstand having his right arm severely scorched and his left one blown off by a Forever Knight after taking a beating from him and later having his windpipe crushed, and managed to attack twice and win nonetheless. Possibly due to the loathing he harbors toward Vilgax and the absolute determination to win the fight, Alex seemed almost unfazed by Von breaking his arm. In part 2, his endurance is comparable to that of the finest Olympic Decathlon participant. His lung capacity is so great that he could hold his breath underwater for 3 minutes and 15 seconds. He can survive in the airless vacuum of space for exactly 27 seconds. He continued to function after a gunshot that injured one of his legs without feeling any pain. He can go up to 80 hours without sleep. His highly trained and developed body generates considerably less fatigue toxins and is much more resistant to fatigue toxins than normal humans, granting him exceptional endurance and lung capacity. His lung capacity is so great that he can hold his breath underwater for over 7 minutes with little to no strain. In his early days he once fought in a death gauntlet for 28 hours straight before collapsing from exhaustion. He has demonstrated exercising extensively with a rigorous training regime that lasted 1 hour, yet wasn't nearly satisfied. He can exert himself at peak capacity without slowing down for several hours before showing signs of fatigue or began tiring, evident on a few occasions when he fought days at a time; though was extremely exhausted physically and mentally. He is shown to be completely fine in falling -20 degree temperature and stand in a sub-zero temperature body of water without almost any clothes, survive in the vacuum of space for 24 seconds and easily withstands Planet Krypton-like conditions; which has 5 times Earth gravity. Alex can tolerate large amounts of pain than average humans. He possessed endurance and is able to survive attacks from Ben as Rath, who possesses Superhuman Strength, and Kevin. He continued to function despite a direct gunshot from a .32 pistol grazed to the back of his head. He also functions for up to 4 days straight without any sleep. While not enhanced level, he endure the high temperatures from the flames. His endurance is unbelievably high. He frequently performs surgery on himself without pain medication. His body possessed extraordinary metabolism, and, combined with his intense training, this further enhanced his tenacity, and gained physical endurance which could be considered near superhuman. Having survived a week of continuous and brutal torture at the hands of the Rooters and ultimately surviving a gunshot in an extremely weakened state, He possessed a strong will, body, and mind. During his brutal ordeal with the Plumbers, he learned to withstand relentless torture, and in turn, attained a massive amount of tolerance towards pain, physical or otherwise. He continued to function after a gunshot that injured one of his legs without feeling any pain. He can go up to 80 hours without sleep. Even while on the cusp of exhaustion, Alex managed to deliver at least three blows on Bane that actually took him back a little bit, before he shortly succumb to defeat by the Madman. Alex has revealed that he fought and endured months of non-stop fighting, while suffering multiple injuries without sleep and rest. He even underwent the Thogal Ritual that lasted for 7 weeks, without food and water. Due to Servantis's experiments, Alex’s rigorously trained physique was immensely stronger than before. He can endure more physical stress than average members of his species. He can tolerate large amounts of physical pain such as being shot or stabbed repeatedly, burned with high heat, and beatings that no ordinary person could handle. He can also hold his breath for large intervals like 3-20 minutes while underwater, and remain calm through stressful or painful situations. He can also tolerate extreme hunger, unbearable thirst, and strong urges to sleep. Even while on the cusp of exhaustion, Alex managed to deliver at least three blows on Haung that actually took him back a little bit, before he shortly succumb to defeat by the White Lotus. Alex has revealed that he fought and endured months of non-stop fighting, while suffering multiple injuries without sleep and rest. He even underwent endurance training that lasted for 7 weeks, without food and water.

**Enhanced Stamina**: In part 1, Alex can exert himself for far longer than other kids his age. Alex was able to complete a long-distance run more than 80 kilometers long, and taking place on uneven terrains such as ascending stairs and a swamp, and was the only one among the arena not to exhibit the slightest sign of fatigue. He fought his father for 10 days straight while keeping his guard up even as he slept. Not even thirty hours of continuous traveling alone by foot and battling the armed forces could wear him down significantly. Alex was able to complete a long-distance run more than 80 kilometers long, and taking place on uneven terrains such as ascending stairs and a swamp, without exhibiting the slightest sign of fatigue. In his first match against Budo, he kept dodging 50 spinning tops for about one hour while in a state of Assassin Mode. He fought Jack for 10 days straight while keeping his guard up even as he slept. He was also noted to recover from exhaustion very rapidly. During active situations, Alex's conditioning allows him to recover from most injuries very quickly, though not superhumanly as he was able to keep up two encounters with fighting Delsin albeit he did this in a false reality and second even after being tasered multiple times by his escrima sticks. In part 2, at peak capacity, Alex can physically exert himself for approximately an hour before the build up of fatigue toxins began to impair him. His highly trained and developed body generates considerably less fatigue toxins and is much more resistant to fatigue toxins than normal humans, granting him exceptional endurance and lung capacity. His lung capacity is so great that he can hold his breath underwater for over 7 minutes with little to no strain. In his early days he once fought in a death gauntlet for 28 hours straight before collapsing from exhaustion. Alex has demonstrated exercising extensively with a rigorous training regime that lasted 1 hour, yet wasn't nearly satisfied. He can exert himself at peak capacity without slowing down for several hours before showing signs of fatigue or began tiring, evident on a few occasions when he fought days at a time; though was extremely exhausted physically and mentally. He is shown to be completely fine in falling -20 degree temperature and stand in a sub-zero temperature body of water without almost any clothes, survive in the vacuum of space for 24 seconds and easily withstands Planet Krypton-like conditions; which has 5 times Earth gravity. His body automatically eliminates the excessive build-up of fatigue-producing chemicals in his muscles; giving him exceptional endurance. He could also resist the freezing cold waters of the Arctic, as not only did he survive being frozen for decades, he also spent time searching for his friend. At peak capacity, Alex is highly resistant to toxins, and can exert himself for approximately an hour before beginning to slow down or tiring. He is capable of holding his breath for up to 7 minutes from training with Kevin. Ever since his teenage years, he has been shown to intensely train for exceptionally lung capacity. His most prominent feat of stamina is outpacing Cheetah, who has Superhuman Stamina. He has a tremendous amount of stamina which allows him to run for great distance and fight for a considerable amount of time with multiple skilled opponents a walk away victorious. Even after being injured and tired, Alex needs a minimal break only to recover and can move a fight again. He can fight at his peak until he falls from wounds or complete exhaustion. Alex’s highly trained and developed body eliminates the excessive build-up of fatigue-producing chemicals in his muscles, granting him near-superhuman levels of stamina and lung capacity. He could exert himself at peak capacity in all physical activities for hours without tiring or slowing down. He generally possess a highly developed musculature that generates less fatigue toxins than the musculature of most other humans or similar beings, endowing peak human level stamina. As such, he can perform feats such as running for several of kilometers/miles without losing breath or exerting himself at peak capacity for hours with minor to no fatigue. His highly trained and developed body generates considerably less fatigue toxins and is much more resistant to fatigue toxins than normal humans, granting him exceptional endurance and lung capacity. His lung capacity is so great that he can hold his breath underwater for extended periods of time with little to no strain at all. He can exert himself at peak capacity without slowing down for several hours before showing signs of fatigue or began tiring, even if he is extremely exhausted physically and mentally. Due to Servantis's experiments, Alex’s body eliminates the excessive build-up of fatigue-inducing lactic acid in his muscles and his musculature generates considerably less fatigue toxins than the muscles of an ordinary human being, granting him superhuman levels of stamina in all physical activities. He can physically exert himself at peak capacity for several hours before fatigue toxins begins to impair him. This kind of physiology grants him phenomenal endurance. He can even hold his breath underwater for 3 minutes. Juila also remarked about Alex’s stamina, stating "he only needs an hour or two's sleep every week" His musculature generates considerably less fatigue toxins than the muscles of an normal human being, granting him exceptional endurance and lung capacity. He can exert himself at peak capacity for several days before tiring. Alex went for an extended period of time inside of a coffin with no negative effects whatsoever. He has gone for weeks without food, water and maybe even air, and still managed to fight. He can fight even after being disemboweled and severely injured. Alex has shown the ability to fight a maximum capacity despite enduring horrendous injuries. His Stamina is probably an extension of his healing factor.

**Enhanced Respiration**: Alex's lungs were oversized, and his respiratory system was developed in such a way as to allow him maximum wind and endurance with a minimum of oxygen intake. These features made Alex a natural outdoor fighter and athlete. He can breathe at high velocities or altitudes, and he can cope with the reduced temperatures at high altitudes for prolonged periods of time, giving him a greater-than-normal capacity to endure low temperatures in areas such as the Arctic.

**Enhanced Agility**: In part 1, Alex can move and react faster than other kids his age like Alex catching Delsin's sword. Partially justified since his gauntlets are shown to be armored. Alex was able to fight his brother in mid-air, as well as on several different buildings. Alex is highly capable of acrobatic and gymnastic feats, such as parkour and free-running. Alex has proven to be at the peak of human agility. He acrobatically fought against Kevin, using his superior agility to his advantage. He acrobatically avoided Cooper's and Gwen's blasts. Alex's mobility allows him to attack from every position, move in the enemy's blind spot, and fight on any kind of terrain. In terms of defense, Alex takes full advantage of his agility to jump out of reach or dodge the enemy's attacks without losing his foothold. He has an excellent sense of balance, as seen when he was shown standing with nonchalance on the back of a horse, and exceptional coordination. He managed to dispatch a small squadron of Battle Droids that had drawn him in the treetops and surrounded him in a few seconds, not only avoiding their attacks, but also turning them against his assailants. Alex can run and jump from one tree to another with such agility he easily caught up with an Arachnichimp. He has a vertical leap of a few meters, which he can increase to over 16 meters by using Assassin Mode or Soldier's Rage. In combat, he can use his agility to strike from unexpected angles and to find his balance quickly after taking a hit or dodging. Alex can jump several meters in the air and hit his opponents from various angles with acrobatic moves without losing his balance. This is first proven when he leaps on top of a chandelier during the exam to be hired by Shade and later in the confrontation against Von. Alex also has impressive gymnastics skills and mobility, as he's able to perform tricks, front and backflips when maneuvering over obstacles especially during combat. In part 2, his agility exceeded than that of a Chinese acrobat and an Olympic gymnast. His main phase of movement was Parkour which he learned in France and used to scale the city's rooftops or on widow buildings in an acrobatic manner. His agility is greater than that of a Chinese acrobat and superior to an Olympic-gold athlete gymnast. He can flawlessly coordinate his body with perfect balance, flexibility, and dexterity. His main phase of movement is Parkour which he learned in France and uses it to scale the cities rooftops in an acrobatic manner. He is capable of completing a triple somersault, running across thin wire cable which showcased his balance. Alex regularly practices his agility by practicing gymnastics blindfolded. Alex’s balance is shown to be practically perfect when he ran across a thin wire-cable and has a lot of midair maneuverability. Alex’s is shown multiple time to be able to jump very high and leap very far. His agility is amplified to the highest human potential. Trained to be extremely agile he can coordinate his body with near-perfect balance, flexibility, and dexterity allowing him to walk on a small tightrope effortlessly, do a handstand on the edge of a building or cliff and not worry, and even walk across a dangerous bridge with ease. His amazing gymnastic and acrobatic prowess, performing feats that would be extremely difficult for a normal human. Alex also has top-notch leaping and climbing agility able to use freerunning and parkour to outmaneuver several enemies at once. The most prominent feat of his enhanced agility is his ability to perform inverted takedowns. He possesses peak human agility. He can coordinate his body with equilibrium, balance, flexibility, and dexterity far above than the trained athletes and one of the world's greatest acrobat. He is one of the 3 people able to do a quadruple backflip. His agility also enables him to possess high gymnastic and acrobatic prowess, Alex also can survive at certain heights that would even concern the likes of Team Alien. He was able to leap at longer distance from one building to another building, swing on a large flag or pole with great performance, and also evade several missile explosions that targeted him in mid-air; furthermore, he utilized his shield to deflect a bullet from Dando with perfect timing. Alex had used both of his legs to strike the guards at the same time while strained. He also evaded a speeding car at close range. His equilibrium, balance, flexibility, dexterity, and bodily coordination are enhanced to levels superior to any Olympic-level athlete that has ever competed. This gives him cat-like agility. He has been seen to run barefoot on utility pole wires, and leap across an entire opera room. His agility is at peak human potential superior to even gold-medal-winning athletes and other highly trained professionals in the field of athletics. In his training, he had been taught acrobatics and gymnastics routines. He has shown an extremely high level of physical capabilities in Parkour and military obstacle training as shown when he could maintain balance on a high tree, climb and freely move about the complex environment of Negav and Chioita City. He trained himself to be an even better gymnast and acrobat than Jan. His agility is superior to Olympic-level athletes and other highly trained professionals in the field of gymnastics and acrobatics. His agility is much better than the likes of an ordinary human, he possess perfect flexibility, balance, and bodily coordination. He is able to move in any type of physical way flawlessly. He could be the finest dancer in the world, the best martial artist, the greatest athlete, etc. Alex's agility is greater than that of a Chinese acrobat and superior to any Olympic-gold athlete gymnast that has ever competed. He can coordinate his body with flawless balance, equilibrium, flexibility, bodily coordination and dexterity. This agility allows him to have a lot of midair maneuverability and perform gymnastic and acrobatic moves that would be very difficult or impossible for normal humans, such as easily front-flipping through a narrow window and flipping around gunfire. Alex can vertical jump at least 10-15 ft in the air without a running start, possibly more when pushed. Alex has been shown keeping up with an acrobatic-Talon that possesses speed and agility to that of Nightwing. He used gymnastic and acrobatic agility to survive a fall Starfire surely thought would kill him. Even Batman made a mental note to himself; commenting that he isn't just fast, but agile as well. Due to Servantis's experiments, Alex’s agility, balance, flexibility, dexterity, and bodily coordination are enhanced to levels that are beyond the natural physical limits of even the Olympic-gold medalist. He has the combined agility and acrobatic prowess of the most accomplished circus aerialists and acrobats. He has been seen to perform his agility to killed many terrorists by using both of his legs to strike two men while twisting a man's head at the same time. His agility is enhanced to levels that are beyond than the finest human athlete. He can perform any complicated sequence of gymnastic stunts such as flips, rolls, and springs. He is able to achieve a state of perfect equilibrium in any position and adjust his position by instinct, allowing him to balance himself on any object, no matter how small or narrow. Alex is extremely coordinated and has shown advanced equilibrium while avoiding bullets and other items thrown at him that normal humans would not be able to avoid in time.

**Enhanced Senses**: In part 1, Alex's senses was above average of a kid his age. His senses are heightened to levels similar to various animals. He can track down and identify people through their scent alone, as well as detect their presence within a large area through scent and sound. This makes one disguising themselves, even Cassandra using her shape-shifting magic, pointless due to the inability to change her scent. His hearing is equally acute, able to clearly hear the low whisper of a Plumber while submerged in water. He can see much further and closer than normal humans with perfect clarity, even in total darkness. His senses enable him to sense when danger is near, such as at his family's funeral. He has enhanced canine-related senses, his most powerful trait being his sense of smell, surpassing that of a bloodhound. By concentrating on his nose, Alex can increase his sense of smell a thousand fold, allowing him to easily distinguish people by their scent. It can clearly determine the physical condition of an individual, even from a considerable distance. Naturally, Alex is the ideal choice to be included in all reconnaissance and tracking missions, as he can actively keep track of targets, identify traps that others would miss, and detect any nearby enemy shinobi. However, Alex's powerful sense of smell can't detect stuff like a double-edged sword, as being exposed to strong odours can incapacitate him. Alex has sharp hearing and sight, as well as keen skills of perception. He is able to pick up an incoming danger and react extremely quickly; for example, he was able to react instantly to his cousins attacks during their training. He was also able to quickly dodge several of Kevin's blasts. While on the run, he even heard S.H.I.E.L.D. agents sneaking behind his position in the woods. In part 2, through meditation, Alex’s five senses are pushed at the highest limits of human perfection; meaning that his sense of sight, touch, hearing, smell and taste are very keen. At one time he was able to hear a sniper load his weapon from across the street a block over, hear an alarm three blocks away, hear the subtle movements of bats, see so far that Alex had to use binoculars to see with clarity and allegedly has the sight of an eagle; allowing him to see even the slightest shifts in the air enough to fight an invisible person. His awareness, instincts, and senses combined make him extremely alert to danger, bordering a sixth sense. Even Commissioner Gordon has commented saying "it's almost like he has a sixth sense". It is also implied that he has a slight ability to sense chi/ki. Alex is able to sense the presence of magic. He can also see supernatural beings that others cannot, such as ghosts. Throughout Alex years fighting crime and intense training, his senses are so heightened he can identify magic by feeling it, detect invisible objects and can even see spirits who remain unseen by normal people. It's implied that Alex possesses senses far beyond a normal human being. He mentioned off-hand that he could keep track of each beat of a hummingbird's wings and could easily keep track of the movements of Silver spur who was moving in short bursts of super-speed. Alex is able to pick up danger before anyone else in his vicinity does, showing noticeably sharp hearing and sight. His acute skills of perception offer aid in otherwise detrimental situations. He is likewise able to anticipate the attack patterns of Ben in his XLR8 form (who could move at Mach 1 at the time) to successfully strike him and catch the latter's own attack. Alex can also catch arrows that shoot behind by Dominic Hayden. Alex’s natural five senses were at the highest caliber of human potential; making his sense of sight, touch, hearing, smell and taste extremely precise and accurate by human standard. He can concentrate his senses to see accurately from moderately far distances, acutely touching ink on a page, hear and distinguish small sounds, have smell capabilities like a primate, and tasting more accurately than normal humans. This makes him highly alert to danger and aware of the surroundings around him; this ability was not classified as 'superhuman'. Alex has very acute senses which give him excellent situational awareness, to the point where he is even capable of fighting blindfolded. Alex has trained with injuries and while blindfolded. Alex's senses are so attune, that he trained his students and children to traverse around areas while blind. Alex also trained Ada to swing around blindfolded, too. He even managed to beat a Neko warlord, when they were both had no sight to work with. His senses also help him with his tracking and hunting skill. His five senses (hearing, smell, taste, touch, and vision) are pushed to the highest limits of human perfection. He is capable of seeing further and in darkness better, acutely touching ink on a page, hearing small sounds, having a smell capability similar to an animal's and tasting more accurately than normal members of his species. Alex has the best senses in his team, as he was the only one capable of sensing Ghostfreak's presence when Cornelius, Hippolyta, Kyrie, and Deslin couldn't. Not even Vulpimancers are capable of sneaking up on Alex, without him knowing. Alex even managed to sense the likes of the XLR8, approaching behind him at super speed. Alex's instincts are so profound that he can effectively visualize everyone around him (and also people of interest such as targets and guards) through walls and floors. Alex senses are so attune, that he can traverse around areas while blind. He knows when Miss Martian is nearby even he is invisible because of her breathing. He also uses slight shifts in the air to predict his opponents moves. Due to Servantis's experiments, Alex’s five senses are highly acute, although not superhumanly so like Blind Devil. He can see with greater clarity and greater distances than any ordinary human. His vision extends into the ultraviolet and infrared areas of the electromagnetic spectrum, allowing him to see in near-total darkness and retain the same level of clarity. Alex’s hearing is similarly enhanced, enabling him to detect sounds normal humans can't and sounds they ordinarily could but at much greater distances. Alex can memorize tens of thousands of scents. His sense of smell enables him to recognize people/objects by scent, even if they are well hidden. He can track a target by scent and track them to the exact location, can smell fear, and detect if someone is lying by change in body odor. His sense of taste is sensitive to the point that he is able to taste the exact ingredients of any particular food he is eating.

**Enhanced Sight**: In part 1, Alex's eyesight exceeds that of a normal human. He was able to spot several examinees in the woods from the top of a tree, a feat that Bruce judged impossible by human standards. He can spot details so small he was able to tell two clones apart, as well as their sex, which Dick and Garfield failed to do even after the reveal. In part 2, Alex possesses superhuman visual acuity. He can see things at a maximum distance much greater than a normal human's; his vision extends all the way into the ultraviolet and infrared areas of the electromagnetic spectrum, granting him perfect night vision. His pupils allow a greater range of vision above and below him, enabling him to more easily detect the movements of an opponent and the flicker-fusion rate of his retinas is reduced to such an extent that he can easily perceive fast-moving objects that would appear to others as a blur. Alex can see through people's skin, organs, bones and muscles, thanks to this ability he can quickly assess damages done to himself or other people. Alex was able to throw projectiles with such precision that he blocked the barrels of multiple handguns in a robbery. However this could be attributed to his Accelerated Probability. His eyes can withstand high-speed winds which would damage the average human eye. He shares some quality with birds including the sense of direction, while his eyesight is on par with the one of an eagle (or keener), allowing him to spot movement and details even from higher distances than the average human (or non-human) could. His enhanced, avian like eyes allow him to "see everything" even in the dark.

**Enhanced Touch**: In part 1, by touching the ground with his finger, he could accurately detect the presence and location of targets in the surrounding area. He could also sense persons miles away, identify a target's ancestry from their energy signature, and even pinpoint a target's exact location while blinded. In part 2, Alex's sense of touch is pushed to the highest limits of human perfection. He can acutely touch ink on a page, feel another’s breathing, pulse, heartbeat, as well as feel vibration or another words vibration the detection which helps him be alert to anyone in his vicinity as well as objects, or substances, or places, or origin and track. Being able to feel the changes in air pressure changes and feel vibration through solid substances and liquids. But certain extent where he feel the presence etc but just enough to let him know it their. It has plain as day enough to where things aren’t to complicated because of amount of vibration or the type of vibration or location or person and etc. Which can make it challenging to attain information like Alex with infrared perception in Antarctica or the desert the information can be more challenging to attain if there is to much disturbance etc. Due to Servantis's experiments, Alex’s sense of touch is so acute that his finger can feel the faint impressions of ink on a printed page, allowing him to read by touch, though laminated pages prevent him from touching and thus reading the ink impressions at a much faster pace than a normal person would be able to read. The rest of his skin is equally sensitive, enabling him by concentration to feel minute temperature and pressure changes in the atmosphere around him. Even with his senses of smell and hearing blocked, he can feel the presence of a person standing five feet away from him simply by his or her body heat and disturbance of air. A side effect of his sense of touch is Alex’s ability to manipulate his muscles and internal organs. The sense of touch is not just external, but internal too (central nervous system), thereby giving him the ability to have total body control, increasing his strength and speed to peak human levels, his agility and reflexes to superhuman levels, and also giving him the ability to numb himself to pain.

**Enhanced Smell**: In part 1, Alex's sense of smell is extremely advanced, causing him to be often compared to a dog. He was able to track down Bruce by the scent of his cologne from several miles away and Posion Ivy with the simple information she used chemical weapons. In part 2, Alex's sense of smell is pushed to the highest limits of human perfection. He is capable of having a smell capability that can rival the wolves being capable of using his sense of smell to attain blindsight as well as illusions awareness, and good tracking abilities, as well as lie detection through chemical that are released, and pregnancy perception because of pheromones and shapeshifting awareness through particular type of smell of a person and also empathy because of pheromones. Due to Servantis's experiments, Alex’s sense of smell is so acute that he can distinguish between identical twins at twenty feet by minute differences in smell. He can detect odors of an atmospheric concentration of thirty parts per million. Furthermore, his ability to remember smells enables him to identify any person he has spent at least five minutes with by smell alone, no matter how he or she might try to camouflage his or her natural body odor. His powers of concentration are such that he can focus upon a single person's smell and follow it through a crowd of people at a distance of fifty feet.

**Enhanced Hearing**: In part 1, Alex's sense of hearing is even superior to his vision, and allows him to fight even in pitch-black darkness. He can hear the sound of a bat's wing cutting through the air and determine its position. He can also detect differences in pitch that most other humans would be unable to perceive. During his training, it allowed him to sense a Ninja's presence. He managed to sense a Droid fly towards him and Delsin long before its companion. Alex has a keener sense of hearing than average humans, which enables him to perceive revelatory sounds and overhear conversations others would miss. In part 2, Alex's hearing is pushed to the highest limits of human perfection. He is capable of hearing small sounds along with listening in on approaching or incoming movements. His hearing range is about 100hz-100khz. He can detect sounds or in other words sound detection which also one to detect sound-waves, whether it comes from skies, the earth, or the seas. Anything that generates noise, sound, sonic waves, or vibrations, he can detect where ever the source comes from, which in turns gives him blindsight through sound as well as being aware of invisible being through the sounds he produce. He also can tell when someone is lying such listening to the heart beat and the also have the ability to focus his hearing or in other words parabolic hearing and also hear ultrasounds and last but least tracking people via the sounds they produce. Due to Servantis's experiments, Alex’s sense of hearing enables him to detect an acoustic pressure change of one decibel at a pressure level of seven decibels (whereas the lowest threshold for average human hearing is twenty decibels). He can hear a person's heartbeat at a distance of over twenty feet, or people whispering on the other side of a standard soundproofed wall. Through practice, Alex is able to control his hearing acuity, mentally blocking out specific sounds like his own breathing and heartbeat, all ambient sounds to a normal human level of perception, or all sounds but a particular sound he is concentrating upon. Alex also utilizes his superhuman sense of hearing as an aid in processing, filtering, and interpreting the feedback of his radar/sonar sense to actually give him a three-dimensional picture of his surroundings. Additionally, Alex’s combined use of his super hearing and radar sense can also give him tactical advantages, such as awareness of people hiding around the corners of rooms, walls, buildings, and furniture and makes it virtually impossible to literally blindside him. Alex presents he may have sharpened senses beyond the seeing range. Showing he could hear or sense when Alma was nearby before she even intruded into his dwelling and again when the Numeral Squadron followed him. Further showcasing this when both he and Chun arrived on scene to a serial killer's genocide gala at a nobleman's mansion, where Alex could not only sense killer's presence within the surroundings but can also hear the heartbeats of all the frightened yet still alive victims intentionally spared from the formers culling artistry collection.

**Enhanced Taste**: In part 1, since taste is vital to surviving in the woods, Alex trained his tongue to the point he can detect substances that are considered tasteless. In part 2, Alex's sense of taste is pushed to the highest limits of human perfection. He is capable of having a taste that is able to more accurately describe the food and sensations and texture and etc. Being able to know how old something. Being able to figure out what ingredients went first also being able tell the chemical compounds and also tell if something is wrong in person like a sickness or alternation in mind like mental illness and etc. But if something rare or truly uncommon or truly extraordinary comes it can be difficult for us to attain information because of the mixture and complexity of the substance either food or other. Due to Servantis's experiments, Alex’s sense of taste enables him to detect the number of grains of salt on a pretzel. His ability to remember tastes enables him to determine every ingredient of a food or drink he tastes, as long as there are at least twenty milligrams of that substance present.

**Enhanced Balance**: In part 2, Alex's balance is at the peak of human perfection, allowing him to perform feats that not even highly trained Olympic gymnasts could accomplish. He is able to walk on a circus tight-rope effortlessly, do a hand stand on the edge of a building or cliff and not worry, and even walk across a dangerous bridge with ease. He has been shown to perform feats greater than those of skilled athletes. Due to Servantis's experiments, Alex’s balance centers give him equilibrium nearly on par with Spidermonkey. He instinctively achieves a state of perfect equilibrium in any position imaginable. He is able to adjust his position by instinct, which enables him to perfectly balance himself on any object, no matter how small, narrow or unstable it may be. His balance and dexterity are at the peak of human perfection. During the fight with Alma, Alex managed to balance perfectly on a piece of crystal with just one hand.

**Enhanced Tracking**: Alex can track others down easily via various means, ranging from scents to footprints. With enough experience, he can follow tracks that are days or even weeks old. He may hypothetically be able to reconstruct a prior event by sniffing around the area.

**Enhanced Accuracy**: Alex was lethal accuracy with firearms, making him an incredible sniper and sharpshooter. He was able to quickly draw his sidearm and shoot Phil's cigar without hitting him. He possessed great situational awareness, as during the Naboo mission he was able to take out several guards while maneuvering through the air, and even reload his pistols by throwing them into the air and catching them with the magazines he was holding in his hands. During the prison escape, he shot a guard in the head, and he only survived due to his helmet. He later shot and killed the Warden from a distance with his sniper rifle. Alex possesses uncanny aim with firearms far beyond the level of mastery ordinarily obtainable to non-super soldiers. When a Plumber hid behind a support column in a parking garage, Alex then shifted his aim so that his shot ricocheted off a water pipe, through a parked car's passenger and driver windows, off a second support column, which then grazed Phil's cheek. Moreover, he was able to do this while viewing Phil through a mounted mirror in the parking garage. His accuracy and dexterity were also highly developed, as he could control his kunais with pinpoint accuracy, and at one during the assault on the empire he casually kicked a butter knife off of a table and at the Major's head, which would have struck him blade-first and presumably fatally had the Captain not caught it.

**Regenerative Healing Factor**: In part 1, Alex's healing was above average of a kid his age. Alex can recover from injury faster than normal, as demonstrated when the multiple wounds inflicted to him by the Droid siblings healed completely in only two days. However, he was unable to recover from the extensive damage to his hands caused by his fight against Delsin even after 26 days. Alex heals extremely quickly. This fact is not only thanks to his being the son of two super soldiers, such as when his broken arm healed completely from a clean fracture in 10 days. After taking rest at the Macgrath medical room, Alex made a full recovery from a broken radius and ulna, a cracked humerus, three rib fractures and 12 cracks in one month instead of the predicted four, all the while without using the Omnitrix. When Vilgax blew off his left hand, the bleeding stopped instantaneously. In part 2, Alex’s natural healing capabilities and speed were at the very highest level of human potential. He has a greatly enhanced metabolism, immune system, and vitality allowing him to heal much faster than an average human. Due to extremely intense training regimen and specialized nutritional diet, his body was efficient enough to fight off any microbe, foreign body and others from his body keeping him immensely healthy and almost immune to most infections, impurities, drugs, illnesses, sicknesses, he was genetically perfect. His immense healing ability allow him to heal broken bones, torn muscles, several gunshot & knife wounds and other severe injuries all within several days to weeks, and most lesser injuries like cuts, scrapes, and burns all within a matter of hours to days, and develop a high resistance to fear toxin after being injected twice. He is able to heal broken bones, fractures, torn muscles, gunshot, knife, puncture wounds and other major injuries all within a few weeks and minor injuries like cuts, scrapes and burns within a few hours to days. His immune system fights off microbes, infections, disorders, illnesses, sicknesses far better than normal (but is not immune). His healing time is very short, as he recovered from a broken back within an unknown amount of weeks. Alex has developed the ability to recover from almost any injury, like acid being poured in his eyes. This included healing himself fully from all the scars and trauma he acquired over the years, increasing his strength and speed. Alex could heal much more rapidly than a normal human athlete, which enables him to heal broken bones, torn muscles, several gunshot & knife wounds and other severe injuries within several days and most lesser injuries like cuts, scrapes and burns within hours. This is likely due to his greatly accelerated metabolism was further enhanced through his intense training and nutritionally-strict diet. He also ages slower than normal humans, though not to a 'superhuman' degree. His natural healing speed and capabilities are at the highest limits of human potential, which means he can heal faster than normal humans. He is able to heal broken bones, fractures, torn muscles, gunshot, knife, puncture wounds and other severe physical harm within a few days and most lesser physical harm like cuts, scrapes and burns within a few hours. His immune system fights off microbes, infections, diseases, disorders, wounds, etc. better than normal, and his healing time is very short. Due to Servantis's experiments, Alex is capable of healing injuries faster than the average person. He was able to heal from fracture ribs, a broken nose, and his broken left arm "in a day or two." He has also become naturally immune to deadly poisons and illnesses. Alex can heal from severe injuries in days at a time. He can regenerate damaged or destroyed bodily tissue with far greater speed and efficiency than an ordinary human. He can regenerate from virtually any non-lethal wound including injured tissues and missing organs. Gunshot and stab wounds, cuts, and broken bones can perfectly heal in several hours. Alex was able to heal from getting shot in the head with a bullet in a few hours. He was once impaled through his chest, and it did nothing but slow him down. His healing factor is enough to grow himself a new heart after his last heart was sliced in half. He can regenerate from anything, even injured tissue, brain cells (nerves), missing limbs and organs. As such, Alex’s body can take a tremendous amount of punishment before succumbing to death. Gunshot and stab wounds, cuts, and broken bones can perfectly heal in a few minutes. Alex can flawlessly regenerate from any injury in a short period of time. It allows him to regenerate damaged or destroyed bodily tissue with far greater speed and efficiency than an ordinary human. His head or any other limb can be reattached using this ability. While beheaded, Alex can still move his body normally. In small doses, Alex's blood has demonstrated the ability to heal others and extend their lifespans beyond their natural limits. He's fought with, and healed from, a broken neck, broken limbs, holes through his chest, having his whole body set on fire, contracting various viruses (including AIDS), and other things. Alex can mend himself on a subconscious level. This process is greatly accelerated when he focuses expressly on mending his body, though it leaves him vulnerable as he needs to pause and stop moving to dedicate enough concentration to it. Alex can heal wounds in a matter of seconds and while he cannot regrow limbs, he can reattach missing parts by holding the dismembered limb in place and manually having his body reconnect. Since Alex is controlling his body on a cellular level it makes him immune to diseases as well as flaws and congenital irregularities that may result in the emergence of illnesses like MS or cancer later on. His only vulnerability to contaminants are neurotoxins, as these have the ability to disrupt nerve signals and scramble communication between his mind and body. However, this can still be thrown off with enough time and focus. Alex has a healing factor which has increased in effectiveness during his tenure as an Avanger. At first, it took him a few moments to heal from being shot several times. However, soon after, he was able to quickly heal from being disemboweled, but not before using his intestines to break the neck of his opponent. Now, bullets barely phase him, and multiple knife wounds are quickly healed. He has also demonstrated the ability to reverse the effects of pressure points, and fight off paralyzing toxins relatively quickly.

**Healing Blood and Unique Cells**: When his blood is injected into others, they are also healed, even if they were dead for a while, with no apparent ill-effects. It is revealed that his injected blood cannot cure tumors; his rapid cell reproduction would accelerate a tumor's growth due to it being living tissue. In addition to healing, his DNA carries special properties when injected into someone such as enhancing their mental and physical attributes to Super Soldier Levels. They would also gained certain physical augmentations of his DNA, such as great durability to attacks, strength augmentation, stamina increase, rapid healing, life force increase, lifespan expansion, and the ability to survive without food or water.

**Resistance to Electricity**: Alex has been trained to endure large amounts of electricity since he was a baby. As a result, he is able to withstand high-voltage electrical currents while retaining his full mental and physical faculties, although he still feels the pain. He is unfazed by shocks capable of Kevin Levin, a superior fighter at the time, as well as by those capable of paralyzing and causing tremendous pain to the powerful Matt.

**Elemental Resistance**: Due to his training, Alex is resistant to both extreme heat and severe cold. This is demonstrated by Alex's ability to withstand a direct hit from a Soldier's ice blast, an attack which turned a Droid into a giant ice cube. It has been speculated that Alex was completely unaffected by the subzero temperature of the surrounding air, and even when the attack contacted his body. This was due in part to his formidable speed. Also, due to his training and experiments, Alex is unable to be burned by weaker fire-based attacks. During the Dark Tournament, Alex takes the full brunt of a Droid's flamethrower attacks which seem to bore Alex rather than hurt him. Marko comments that he had thought it impossible for anyone to survive his magic fire, Alex having proven him wrong. It is speculated that this may be because he has a unique physiology as the son of two Super Soldiers.

**Foreign Chemical Resistance**: Alex's body is highly resistant to poisons and most drugs. For example, it is extremely difficult, though not impossible, for him to become intoxicated. He can, momentarily, be affected by certain drugs (tranquilizers) if exposed to a large enough dosage.

**Fatigue Resistance**: Alex is partially resistant to fatigue poisons produced from physical activity.

**Toxic Immunity**: Alex's regenerative healing provides him with a enhanced immunity to toxins. When exposed to a dangerous paralyzation toxin, it only slowed Alex from superhuman levels, to that of a normal human, rather than instantly paralyze him.

**Disease Immunity**: The unique regenerative qualities of Alex's healing factor also extend to his immune system; he is immune to all diseases, infections, disorders, imperfection, and resistant to elemental extremes.

**Contaminant Immunity**: Alex is seemingly immune to all Earthly diseases, infections, and disorders, and has never been shown to become ill after receiving the Super-Soldier Serum. He's impervious to gas attacks, poisons, and nerve-toxins of any kind and completely resistant to diseases like anthrax, smallpox, HIV and was even able to beat the Vampire infection that turned him. His immune system is so powerful that "a half a pint of tetrodotoxin" showed no ill effects. While imprisoned by Ken, he held snake venom in his mouth to attack Ken with no apparent effect to his own body. Alex was also virtually immune to intoxication by consuming alcohol. His neutralizes all detrimental contaminants making him immune to all poisons, toxins, venoms, viruses, bacteria, diseases, disorders, parasites, allergen, radiations, mind control, body possession, telepathy, illusion, etc.

**Decelerated Aging**: As a member of the Macgrath and Nikolayevna families, Alex ages slower than normal humans due to having extremely healthy cells, without any superhuman degree. In addition, this power would activate when Alex was in his young-adult years and he'd look twenty-years old. Finally, Alex could easily live well over 100 years old since this quality was at Super-Soldier level. Due to Servantis's experiments, the Super-Soldier Serum dramatically slowed Alex's aging process due to extensive regeneration of healthy cells. His son once stated that Alex’s appearance was like he came out of a flashback picture. He does not age beyond his prime, allowing him to retain his physical prowess, health, vitality, and youthful appearance indefinitely. This ultimately makes him immune to natural death. As a result of the Super Soldier Serum, Alex keeps his peak health, performance, and appearance much longer than normal people until death.

**Nigh-Immortality**: Alex’s regenerative capabilities make him virtually immortal. Alex has a life span that is somewhat longer than those of normal humans from Earth. Due to the Super Soldier Serum it is unsure how he will age, but it will likely be at a decelerated rate. His life span is extended to such a degree that an alternate reality version of him was alive and still in business 800 years in the future. Alex is basically immortal. He does not age and is immune to all known contaminants. Alex can only die permanently by having his heart or brain destroyed.

**Resurrection**: Alex is unable to survive a lethal injury to the brain, however it is possible for his healing factor to go into overdrive after he has died, if his immune system is triggered by an infection. This allowed Alex to come back to life after being shot in the head.

**Telepathic Immunity**: The healing factor causes his brain to be in a constant state of flux and regeneration, rendering him immune to psychics such as Cable, Emma Frost, and the Red Onslaught. Alex can be looped into a telepathic psi-link to communicate with others mentally, as he did while a member of X-Force, but actually reading his mind can be confusing, even to an accomplished telepath like Psylocke. This would not prevent him from being attacked psychically though.

**Possession Resistance**: Similar to the telepathic immunity, Alex is able to remain in control of himself while supernatural beings are trying to take control of him. During Xaphan's attempt to take control of him, Alex was able to fight for control of his body. No one can touch his soul.

**Modified Nervous System**: His entire nervous system was modified and his reflexes as well as his five senses were enhanced beyond the limits of an ordinary human-being. Also, this nervous system modification caused him to be incapable of exhibiting emotions and made him immune to pain. The most impressive ability he has so far, is unarguably his ability to control his nerves and nervous system.

**Nerve Regeneration**: He can regenerate his own nerves (which usually are incapable of regeneration) and to return them back to their original state after harm. He uses this ability to resist being stunned, going unconscious, going into shock from intense pain or permanently losing sensation in any part of the body.

**Pain Dullness**: Originally, he could block pain at will but later on became incapable of feeling pain. This allows him to think clearly and continue to move despite grievous injury. This essentially makes torture useless. Alex's nerve endings do not relay any tactile perception to his brain, which is near the threshold of pain, which makes it so that he is unable to feel pain.

**Forced Sleep/Induced Coma**: By controlling his nervous system, he can cause himself to go in a state of sleep. Although, he has to determine the period he wants to sleep for before actually doing it or he may enter a state of indefinite coma.

**Hormone Control**: This allows him to either diminish his sexual drive against seduction techniques or maintain adrenaline for a long period of time without damaging his body.

**No Scent**: Alex's body naturally produces no scent/smell. This makes stealth easier for him.

**Pain Receptor Control**: He can turn his pain receptors on and off so he can keep fighting when the pain would stop a normal man, and has implants that numb him to most pain - he has undergone major surgery while awake and alert.

**Super-Enhanced Immune System**: Alex's immune system has advanced to the point where HIV was defeated in six weeks and the common cold never stays more than a couple of minutes. After The Doctor overdosed himself with heroin, physicians used a shot of Alex's blood to jump start his system by deactivating his opiate receptors.

**Enhanced Adaptability**: He talked and laughed on top of Mount Everest for many hours without looking troubled by the low oxygen level or temperature.

**Environmental Adaptation**: He has the uncanny capacity to live entirely self-sufficiently and without sustenance. He can survive in anaerobic environments indefinite periods of time, even the vacuum of space, and can adapt to various environments if needed and desired. Alex has no need to use the bathroom and can go without food or water for an undetermined amount of time. He was able to survive walking on the surface of Mars without equipment for a certain time. His entire body is oriented to combat, enabling him to adapt to any environment with minimal exposure.

**Mental Computation**: Due to the Super Soldier Serum, Alex has astonishingly advanced intellectual capabilities forged from a mind that works in the same way as a supercomputer would.

**Enhanced Brain Activity**: In part 1, Alex's intelligence was above average of a kid his age. In part 2, Alex's mental performance is at the peak of human potential, thus considerably superior to normal humans, able to use his brain more efficiently thanks to both being naturally gifted and mentally trained himself for the needed shortcuts. His mind is greatly enhanced through years of mental training; granting him perfect recall, accelerated learning aptitude, extreme multitasking, and photographic memory. Becoming one of the most brilliant geniuses’ humanity has ever known. He could perform feats of mind comparable to computers: storing limitless amounts of information flawlessly, performing complex calculations or other similar tasks. He can master a variety of knowledge and combat skills in a few weeks, which would take a normal person many years to achieve mastery over. Alex could also use 100% of his concentration, allowing him to push his physical and mental capabilities to their maximum potential; obstacles become minor problems while objectives grow significantly easier to accomplish. His mental performance is greatly enhanced allowing it to operate in the most advanced and rapid manner possible. His mind also processes information quickly, giving him an accelerated learning aptitude; for example, Daigo once stated that Alex can learn and master any weapon within seconds. He possesses an eidetic/photographic memory and perfect recall, meaning he never forgets what he sees and experiences, paired with the ability to speed read, and can thereby intuitively understand what's likely going to happen and how best to deal with it. This enables him to remember any military tactic and apply it to any situation. He is more intelligent than most of his species, or at least able to use his brain more efficiently and effectively either by being naturally gifted or training himself for the needed shortcuts. He is able to perform feats of mind comparable to computers. He is capable of learning a variety of essential skills and advanced capabilities in a day, which would take a normal person years to achieve mastery over, memorize any knowledge instantly without any mistakes, and process information at a much faster rate, possess amazing skills of deduction and reasoning, become a master strategist, possess an extensive scientific knowledge, etc., making him obviously superior among those of his own species. Due to Servantis's experiments, Alex’s mental performance has been greatly enhanced, allowing his mind to process information quickly, giving him an accelerated learning aptitude. He can quickly analyze multiple information streams as well as rapidly respond to changing tactical situations. He has the ability to speed read, and high deductive reasoning skills. He was smart enough to hack into a database computer to find his son records. His mind works at incredible speeds and is his greatest asset. His brain capacity has been increased to 90 percent. Able to think and perceive 9 times faster and utilize that much more of his mind than average human for information processing and sorting. He is capable of perfectly memorizing anything as well as being able to perfectly remember and instantly recall everything he saw and experienced in his lifetime without being overwhelmed or a pause for thought. Alex’s mind is virtually a supercomputer built for strategy and problem-solving, one that works at optimal ability even when under stress and fatigue. He can work out a battle ahead of time for every possibility and predict enemy movements and tactics after the battle has engaged by instantly recalling and utilizing memorized mannerisms acquired through past experience. He is ingenious in; devising solutions against superior aspects of opponents, observing and exploiting, and can instantly make any calculations especially regarding distance, speed, and time; his sense of timing is perfect. He immediately solves any problem he happens to face and instantly formulates how to overcome any obstacle. He can understand the mechanics behind any issue he faces and knows what must be done to solve any problem. Alex is capable of mastering any skill upon his first attempt. He can pick up complicated skills quickly and retain them. Alex can perfectly remember and instantly recall everything that he have ever experienced, encountered or learned in his lifetime. He needs only to read, hear or see something once and he will never forget it. His mind has unlimited storage capacity for any and all kinds of memories and knowledge without any burden. He is able to instantly recall and cross-correlate any and all information he has stored with perfect clarity without the typical human pause for thought. Alex is able to duplicate any physical act, after seeing it done once, by anyone. He can also perform subtle muscle movements, with flawless accuracy and precision, subsequent to observation. Therefore, Alex can can perform any physical act without difficulty. Alex's mind has been developed and perfected along with his body. He possesses far greater intelligence, focus and mental fortitude than an ordinary human. Alex possesses enhanced learning capabilities, thus making him able to quickly learn and master languages and technology.

**Polymath**: Literally "a person of great and varied learning." Alex possess advanced intellectual capabilities where his mind instinctively, automatically and with little deliberate cognitive thought performs complex mental operations that are far beyond the capability of a normal human mind.

**Intuitive Intelligence**: His intelligence is dramatically enhanced and has a limitless capacity for learning and memorization. His mind also processes information quickly, giving him an accelerated learning aptitude, capable of perfectly memorizing anything (eidetic memory) and has perfect recall. Thus he can instantly comprehend and assimilate any kind of knowledge or fighting style.

**Intuitive Aptitude**: Alex can instantly learn and understand the complexity and exactness of organisms, objects, subjects, fields, powers, etc., at amazing speed without the need of long-term or special education. He possesses perfect pattern solving/recognition, extremely high perception/observational skills, can read at superhuman speeds, and perfect deductive/reasoning skills.

**Photographic Memory**: Alex perfectly remembers everything he experiences. He can instantaneously retrieve every memory and any information he has perceived.

**Multitasking**: Alex is able to perform multiple tasks at once by allocating a partition of his brain to each task. For example, Alex can use his mind to replay a movie he had watched previously, play a game of internet chess, and focus on battling an opponent without any one task distracting him from another.

**Body Manipulation**: Alex possesses a perfect mind body connection, allowing him to exert total control over his muscles, tissues, organs and nerves. Alex can use this to lock out his sensations of pain, further enhance his already superhuman abilities and undo the effects of attacks that target pressure points in the body. Alex has the power similar to a Pre-cog, enabling him to predict the various different choices an opponent makes. The effectiveness of it isn't fully clear, he seemed to imply that he could see 1000 moves an opponent could make, if they didn't share his power set. However, after Alex killed a bounty hunter, Alex was able to use this power on his foes. Alex has complete and total understanding of his physiological structure. From the individual muscle, tendon and ligament down to each and every individual cell within his body. Through the act of conscious thought the superhuman Alex can compel said viscera to accomplish Impossible feats. Such as catching bullets with his muscles, controlling the toughness & elasticity of his joints and using his intestines as a weapon. Alex has physically conditioned his body and mind to their peak levels of efficiency. He has voluntary control over most of his body's autonomic functions: breathing, heartbeat, bleeding, reaction to pain, rate of healing, etc.

**Dominant Genetics**: Due to his genetics, Alex's genes will override other persons traits for physical appearance and powers.

**Assassins Mode**: Inherited from his Mother, Alex has "awakened" a dormant power within him earlier in his life when he saw Vilgax kill his parents in front of him. Once activated, Alex's sclera turned black with black markings appearing around his pupils and a red aura enveloped his body. Red markings also appeared all over his body and remain as scars once its effect ended. It has been described as "knowing exactly what needed to be done," developing fighting instincts and perfect self-control of his body far above the average human. He is able to connect to every single Macgrath and Nikolayevna before him via the paths and gain their knowledge, strength, and battle experience. This also prevents him from having his memory wiped. Ordinarily, individuals can use no more than 20% of their body's full potential, the brain's way of protecting the individual from harming their body through overexertion. But upon activating Assassins Mode, Alex can use his body at 100% full potential. He enters a state of heightened concentration in which he focuses fully on killing the enemy, preventing himself from hesitating. According to himself, there is a sensible difference between his power in this state and with his normal mindset. As a result Assassins Mode, Alex's strength, speed, and even sensory awareness greatly increase for an instant. It increases endorphin levels in order to boost his durability and pain resistance. He can activate endorphin production within body body to inhibit the transmission of pain signals. It also boost strength and muscle contraction. He uses it by controlling the adrenaline flow in his body. He can force his body to produce adrenaline to whatever amount he needs for his goals, which boosts anything from his speed, stamina, strength and even his senses. Upon activating Assassins Mode, he enters into a state that unleashes his full dormant potential and can focus it to push his power well beyond his normal limits. Alex is able to continuously increase in fighting ability the longer he fights. He is able to imprint on his own experiences and grow via adaptation and improved fighting tactics and skillsets. He is able to make rapid jumps in performance in relatively short amounts of time. It continually lets Alex recover faster and increase in performance against adversity, either by healing from great injuries or enduring great struggle in battle. This is Alex's power boost where he can activate his adrenal glands, increasing his strength, speed, reflexes, marksmanship, stamina, dexterity, endurance, access memories he usually couldn't remember, wisdom, and overall power by 5x. He rarely uses this power-up since he only uses it when he's in a prolonged battle, draining his bodily resources. The most unique thing about Alex is his ability to grow stronger and become even more tenacious with every foes he kills. These scars continuously cause him to feel pain all over his body, even after he deactivates it. This short burst of power beyond the body's normal maximum output comes at the cost of intense muscle spasms, pain and weakness after prolonged use. Meaning, he can only use it for 60 seconds.

**Assassins Instinct**: As a Nikolayevna, Alex possessed the Assassins Instinct. Alex first awakened his Assassins Instinct on the night of Claire's death, though he isn't able to do so again until several years later during his battle against Deathstroke. Once activated, his iris turns red, and the sclera black with red veins across the eye and into the skin around the eye. Alex can enter this state by his own will, but this state is also entered when experiencing intense emotions such as anger. From an young age, he demonstrated skill and power superior to most members of his family. Alex's Assassins Instinct is especially potent, as Aiden noted that despite not being fully developed at the time, it was even stronger and greater in clarity than his older brother. Later, his prowess and skill with his fully matured eyes earned him the nickname "Alex of the Assassins Instinct." As a teenager, he tended to keep his Assassins Instinct active near-constantly with minimal drain on his stamina levels. It allow him to see in multiple directions. Alex has stated his eyes can't be used for an offensive purpose, but primarily to see "things that no one else can see" including nearly limitless varieties of spectral visions. He has gained special abilities due to his eyes such as improved marksmanship and nonverbal communications. He is able sense how people and objects relate to him, which manifests as a colored glow, much like an aura. Red indicates enemies or spilled blood, blue indicates allies, white indicates sources of information or hiding spots, and gold indicates targets or objects of interest. This heightens all the senses of Alex, allowing him to detect the heartbeat of a target in the area, or even foresee a target's path. He could also 'tag' these people, allowing him to see their location when out of Assassins Instinct, even through walls and other obstacles. He was also able to see hiding spots, such as hay bales and bushes, which would shine with golden and green glows, respectively. He could use Assassins Instinct to examine clues to reconstruct past events and crimes, aiding him in investigations and finding targets. He also had the ability to read the paths that guards would take, much like Assassins Instinct, but only could fully utilize this skill once he read the paths on a map. Lastly, this skill appears to have been connected with his auditory system, allowing him to hear conversations from far away with perfect clarity once he achieved a high enough vantage point and focused in on the locations. He appeared to be able to maintain great focus while using it, as even while climbing, shooting, or killing, the pulse would sustain. It allowed him to focus on a target and intuitively approximately where they had gone, or inversely, where they would go, even going so far as to be able to sense the presence of stalkers and when they would strike. This was particularly helpful in tailing a target, or detecting the path a guard would take, in order to set up a bomb or lay an ambush. With Assassins Instinct, Alex was also able to pick up cold trails, or locate disguised enemies. However, for the latter, he was required to concentrate harder and scrutinize people individually, rather than as a crowd. Alex also once used his Assassins Instinct to follow the scent vapors of datura, and to diagnose an injured mercenary by listening to his heartbeat. As such, the latter technique allowed him to conclude that the man was alive but weak, and likely affected by some form of poison. Due to most illusions affecting mainly eyesight, other senses such as hearing and/or smell have a difficult time not succumbing to the illusion. It is also made worse by ignoring use of their other senses. Alex's Assassins Instinct enable him to remain aware at all times of the true reality around him, potentially seeing through any optical and/or mental illusions that others attempt to deceive him with. This allows Alex to act, fight, and navigate while blind, in darkness, or otherwise sightless. By listening, feeling, and smelling, Assassins Instinct can tell whether a person is lying by sweat, changes in body temperature, and heartbeats (though he can be fooled by a pacemaker and those able to keep calm under pressure). Very much like his radar sense, Alex can emit sonar waves, that are actually "echoes" that bounce off objects in his surrounding environment and listen to the echoes that return from various objects near him, and use these echoes to locate and identify the objects. Alternately, he can use ambient sounds do the same. Since this ability isn't based on sight/light, invisibility is useless against him, as are most forms of camouflage. Assassins Instinct can create a form of echolocation via low radio wave projection, according to one theory; an energy wave within certain portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. The signal emanates radio waves from regions of his brain, after which it travels outward, bounces off objects around him, and returns to receiving regions of his brain. With this ability, Alex can synthesize a very close analogue of three-dimensional three-hundred-and-sixty-degree human sight. An offshoot to radar sense, this ability is the combination of all other senses (excluding radar sense) and can allow Alex to reconstruct his surroundings. All of Alex's senses help him identify people by the specific patterns of their heartbeat, smell, touch, sound, and even radar appearance, as it allows to "see" through objects, specifically clothes (though albeit obscure). Assassins Instinct processes the entire electromagnetic spectrum as well as allowing vast control over selective perception and focus. Assassins Instinct can see well into most of the electromagnetic spectrum. He can see and identify radio and television signals as well as all other broadcast or transmitted frequencies. Using this ability, he can avoid detection by radar or satellite monitoring methods. This also allows him to see the aura generated by living thing. He has the ability to see extremely small objects and images down to the atomic level. He could see just about anything no matter how small it was. Once claiming to be able to see dust motes as plain as day. It can see something at a great distance, without violating the laws of physics. Though limited, the exact extent of the ability is undetermined. In function, it is similar to the zoom lens on a camera. With great effort Alex can also see up to great distances at a time. Supposedly able to see incoming adversaries from miles away. It can see through any volume of matter except lead. Alex can see things behind a solid, opaque object as if it were not there. He can focus this ability to "peel back" layers of an object, allowing hidden image or inner workings to be observed. The exact type of energy perceived—such as x-rays, cosmic rays, or some other energy invisible to normal humans—is unclear. This ability perceives an ambient energy source though, it does not involve the eye projecting a concentrated, possibly toxic, beam to be reflected back from objects. He can see around as well as through objects and enemies to get a better view of his surroundings. He can see and track pheromone secretions made from specific human beings. He can see with better acuity in darkness, and to a degree in total darkness. The flicker-fusion horizon (the speed at which some objects appear as a blur) in his eyes is superior to other people. What appears as a blur to most people, he can see perfectly. It also acts as a type of early warning, not the degree of his Tactical Eye but he is able to see attacks coming from far away. He could "read" people via micro expressions, body language and non-verbal cues, no matter how subtle. During his time in Felarya, Alex saw through certain personality traits in other people by noting subtle habits. i.e. a woman's fear of abandonment via hand tremors when yelling, a businessman's longing for peer recognition noting his corner eye twitching, and a fat person's fostering secrets gleaned from his quivering jelly body. He was also able to quickly discern the true motives of two new students who were secretly junior agents under orders to report the school's activities/dangers to normal human society and shut it down. An extension to detecting mental cues, Alex eventually found he could sense powerful empathetic ties and also track people by following said connections to them (ties of friendship shared between himself and his comrades for instance). Claimed that his psyche evaluating power enabled him to spot the first twinges in one's bodily structure when they're about to throw the first punch. As soon as Alex gets a look at someone he can near instantly ascertain their past altercations and discern their present motivations for doing and being who and what they are. He can also gear his visual acuity to reading and understanding the history of inanimate objects with a glance. When Alex recedes into REM state, his visual clarity intensifies many times over as he sees into himself. Through this dream sight he can peer into just about everywhere within the world around him, as well as beyond the world with enough focus to see past the veil of false realities. He can pinpoint weak spots in machines and people, much like his Tactical Eye, but to a lesser extent. He is able to see electronic wavelengths. He is able to see microwaves with his eyes. He is able to see past illusions and disguises. Alex has shown the ability to see magic waves in the air. He can see emotional connections. Alex is granted incredible clarity of perception, enabling him to read lips or mimic something like pencil movements. Assassins Instinct was even able to see on a cellular level. In combat, this allows him to see fast-moving objects and, once fully developed, offers some amount of predictive capabilities: he can anticipate an opponent's next move based on the slightest muscle tension in their body and act accordingly to dodge or intercept. He can also read the enemy's hand to give him an insight of what they are trying to do, regardless of the speed of performance, so long as the hands are not physically hidden from view. Although Alex can see these things, he also need the physical ability to actually act on the visual information. Alex can also do things such as figuring out the sleight of hand techniques of a master poker cheater simply by watching them. He has often shown the ability to actually predict an opponent's next move before they make it if he has studied their fighting style enough. Opponents who are skilled at improvisational fighting styles, or who have a more random unpredictable style are less likely to have their moves predicted by Alex. He can watch another person's physical movements and duplicate them without any practice or training, no matter how complex. Alex is able to duplicate almost any physical activity after seeing it done by someone else only once. Alex can use this ability to master complex gymnastics routines and play difficult pieces of music. However, he typically prefers to use this ability to copy the combat skills, both armed and unarmed, of enemies and expert martial artists from around the world. By reviewing recordings of movements periodically, Alex can retain duplicated moves indefinitely. When facing an opponent, he has already studied countless of martial arts, and can virtually predict his enemy's attacks. He can also copy the subtle muscle movements of others so precisely that he can at times do things such as copying another person's voice so precisely as to fool voice recognition software although he must practice a voice to ensure he has perfected it enough to fool such devices. It allows him to mimic skills and knowledge from nearby targets. Alex could acquire mental and physical abilities, be it knowledge over a subject, a foreign language, or mastery of a fighting style. He could even predict the attacks of others in order to avoid them. When interacting with normal humans, Alex was able to duplicate their skills and intelligence. Thus, whenever he was in the vicinity of athletes, he gained superior athletic ability, and when in the presence of a scholar, not only did his knowledge expand, but also so did his potential to learn. Alex is able to copy almost any skill he sees, memorizing combat, musical, and even cooking with near-perfect accuracy. He can then either perform that skill or modify it to suit his needs. Again, he needs the prerequisite abilities before he can mimic a skill he have seen, and for that reason he cannot, for example, reproduce mutant abilities he do not have or superpowers. While not an ability per se, Assassins Instinct can appear as if he is able to "see the future". First, Alex must perfectly mimic every move his opponent makes and possibly their thoughts and words through careful observation. Then, he suggest an action to the opponent such as hand motion for an attack that the opponent and he already know and copy that. With these things done, he can complete the action even before the opponent does. He is capable of instantly learning techniques performed by other fighters after seeing them only once. Assassins Instinct allows him to sense the presence of others. Alex states that to fully master this ability would allow him to see others, even if they are concealed from view or too far to see naturally. It allows Alex to see another person through their aura, be it behind buildings, strategically hidden, or camouflaged. Given this, Assassins Instinct, depending on the level, can discover who is hidden, but still present. When viewed this way, he cannot actually see the person or animal with any physical characteristics, but rather recognizes the target(s) by their "aura", which is a mental image of a colored silhouette of them on a dark background. Alex often describe presences as "voices" and can usually tell if specific people are still alive, dead or close to death depending on whether he can still "hear" them. It allows Alex to measure the strength of the people whose presence he sense. This usage of Assassins Instinct is useful in finding "powerful auras". Through this application, he can easily locate powerful allies and avoid powerful enemies. It allows Alex to sense and empathize with the emotions and nature of others. However, this is not flawless. People with high control over their emotions and acting abilities can somewhat counter the Assassins Instinct. It allows him to sense another person's intent to act in the immediate future (especially through bloodlust/killing intent within combat), allowing him to predict what someone is going to do, usually seconds prior, in what resembles a pseudo-form of precognition. However, it should not be confused with the actual, literal ability to see into the future which requires another level of skill entirely. Naturally, this predictive application of Assassins Instinct is highly helpful in battle, as Alex may have a vastly easier time predicting the path of enemy attacks to either dodge or counter them. The more killing intent exuded by a given enemy, the more predictable their attacks, although Alex can predict enemy moves whether there is murderous intent or not. Of course, since conscious intent has to be present for one to sense it with Assassins Instinct, any actions that are done unconsciously or with complete indiscrimination cannot be predicted. A highly advanced level of Assassins Instinct allows Alex to see a short period into the future; instead of just sensing what will happen by intuition, Alex can literally see a precise mental image of what will happen in the next few seconds. The vision also allows Alex to hear any words that will be spoken. It allows him the ability to detect patterns and unlock puzzles. Contrary to Assassins Instinct, there is no need to sense emotions or intention to use this ability. The first and foremost of Assassins Instinct applications is the ability to perceive surroundings. By sensing vibrations in the ground, Alex can perceive his surroundings as precisely as normal sight, and in some cases with even greater clarity. The advantage of the sense over normal sight is that he is able to pick up things that are barely visible or even imperceptible to the naked eye as well as things out of his line of sight. Obstacles that would normally obstruct regular vision, such as walls and thick dust clouds, are rendered ineffective against Assassins Instinct. Assassins Instinct does not only provide surface vision, as the vibrations also travel underground, enabling him to effectively detect caverns and other deep subterranean cavities. Since humans have a physical reaction when they lie, such as a heightened heart rate, Alex who has perfected his eyes can lock on to those physiological changes and tell whether or not a person is lying. However, these reactions can be suppressed by individuals with great control over their emotions, such as Claire, rendering even the most skilled Assassins Instinct practitioner unable to tell if a statement is a lie. If one is made to believe what they say is true, false claims will not trigger any physical reaction. He must also be actively on the look for reactions for it to be noticed. This ability has been referred to as "truth-seeing". Assassins Instinct can cause a great strain on Alex, which causes his eyes to bleed whenever he overuses it. It drains a considerable amount of stamina when simply activating and maintaining the advanced eyes, and even more through each ability used. Even more, it can cause considerable damage to his being, leaving the body in agonizing pain and causing deterioration to his vision until eventually over-usage leaves him blind, though not permanent. Upon getting the Super Soldier Serum, he no longer suffers any negative side-effects from using them, even reducing stamina-draining to an unnoticeably minimal level.

**Tactical Eye**: As a Macgrath, Alex possessed the Tactical Eye. When a member of the Macgrath Family becomes enraged, their eyes change, which triggers an amazing increase in physical strength. Once activated, his eyes is blue pupils filled with what resemble overlapping white flower patterns and a darkened sclera with a blue mist emanating from them. In this state, even as a child, Alex could gain the upper hand in terms of enhanced sensory perception, reflexes speed, and strength against three adults and easily overpowered them. When first used during his time in Gotham Academy, Alex did not appear to have the ability to activate it on command; instead, the eyes would involuntarily activate when Alex focused his attention on a particular person, object or times of great threats, as it remained dormant again for an extended period until facing Vilgax. Aiden expressed how impressive it was for him to awaken it at such a young age without any prior training. While a common ability in his family, Alex's was noted to be especially powerful. Despite no prior training for it, he was able to quickly make effective use of it. At the same time, he has originally had no conscious control over his Tactical Eye's activation, only activating involuntarily from moments of extreme emotional build-up. Alex himself is also very confident about his Tactical Eye, claiming that its perception is as good as any fully grown Macgrath's. Phil Billings described his Tactical Eye as being "very pure" and specifically targeted his Tactical Eye in order to clone multiple Tactical Eyes and Assassins Instinct. As a teenager, he displayed the ability to activate it at will, though he struggles to maintain it for long periods of time but later mastered it to the point that he can now keep his Tactical Eye active near-constantly with minimal drain on his stamina levels. Once activated, Alex has immense perception and unrivaled visual prowess far beyond that of any other warrior. His eyesight is comparable to high-definition infrared camera, allowing him to see even when his eyes are covered. He can easily see things from several kilometers away and distinctly tell apart different figures within that range. When activated, it makes Alex extremely hyper and aware, perceiving time faster which caused everything around him to appear to move in slow motion. It augments his already amazing marksman skills, and when combined with any firearm or blaster, makes it almost impossible for him to miss his target. It also provides him with mission data and target data. While it grants him an extra-sensory vision of his general surroundings, the Eye's true ability is precognition, allowing Alex to perfectly and efficiently anticipate all variables and his opponent's attacks and take action with absolute efficiency without any effort. He can adapt perfectly to all factors achieving maximum efficiency in offensive and defensive strategy, ensuring optimal results as long as there is the slightest chance and depending on the means at his disposal. A simple glance will detect his opponent's or obstacle's nature, strengths, weaknesses, etc. making Alex a perfect military field strategist. It allows him to detect any potential threats in the surrounding area, thus giving him the opportunity to properly react to them quickly, similar to a sixth sense. The detection of a threat is described by Alex as a sharp stabbing sensation in his head. It is able to sense one's intent and their negative emotions. Against human enemies, it is triggered by their intentions of threat and malice. Alex possesses a precognitive danger sense which warns him of potential or immediate danger by the manifestation of his tactical eye activating, and links with his superhuman kinesthetics, enabling him to evade most any injuries, unless he cognitively overrides his automatic reflexes. It appears to be a simultaneous clairvoyant response to a wide variety of phenomena (everything from falling safes to speeding bullets to thrown punches), which has given several hundredths of a second warning, which is sufficient time for his reflexes to allow him to avoid injury. The sense also can create a general response on the order of several minutes: he cannot discern the nature of the threat by the sensation. He can, however, discern the severity of the danger by the strength of his response to it. Alex's danger sense is directional and can guide him to or away from hidden weapons and enemies. Sudden and extreme threats can cause his danger-sense to react with painful intensity. Alex can also sense and dodge attacks directed randomly or by an artificial intelligence. Using his danger-sense to time his enhanced reflexes, Alex can casually dodge attacks up to and including automatic-weapons fire, provided there is sufficient distance. His danger-sense is sufficiently well-linked to his reflexes to the point that a threat can trigger them even when Alex is asleep or stunned. His danger-sense has helped him preserve his secret identity since it alerts him to observers or cameras when on the run. The danger-sense does react to those who he does not consider to be a threat, such as his parents, or when an ally makes a bluff while playing poker. Alex can choose to ignore his danger-sense, and distraction or fatigue diminish its effectiveness. Alex's fighting style incorporates the advantage that his "danger-sense" provides him. His body begins to produce more adrenaline after the sense is triggered, an extension of the 'fight or flight syndrome.' Even when he does not have the use of his eyes, Alex can still use his danger-sense in a similar fashion to Assassins Insintct's Radar Sense to help him see by sensing the direction the danger is coming from by listening on the loudest noise around him. This was first used after Alex was temporarily blinded by robot but was recently used again to help locate the new robot after his acidic breath blinded him. Through experience, Alex has learned how to sense differences in the various tingles he feels, determining whether a danger is potential or immediate, how intense a threat it is, what direction it is coming from, etc. His danger-sense seems to be greatly enhanced compared to that of his family members. One example occurs the day that his family was murdered; Alex dreamed that he, himself, was being attacked by Vilgax, when, at the same time, the real Vilgax was preparing to take back the Omnitrix many days later. He was also able to sense that reality was not quite right while he was with Max. This suggests that Tactical Eye's danger-sense ability may be borderline precognitive, as opposed to only warning of immediate danger. He is able to sense the exact direction from which the danger comes. In addition, whereas his danger sense simply registered a general sense of danger (with the strength of the response being in proportion to the amount of danger he was in), he can recognize sources of danger. This allows him to determine whether the danger is posed by a familiar source (such as an attack by a familiar foe) or is a new threat. This applies even if he has incomplete knowledge of the source of danger. For example, if Alex is being spied on by an unknown observer on several different occasions, he is able to tell if each incident involves the same, or a different observer as a previous incident. His danger-sense has Alex been honed to the point where he just 'knows things', and is developed to the point that he knows what's going to happen before his opponent could think about it, so beating him is nearly impossible due to this precognition. He has demonstrated knowing what would happen to Delsin and a sniper hiding in the trees while being several hundred feet away from them, engaged in his own activities, and planned the entire situation exactly right to know what was going to happen. His Tactical Eye is more advanced than other members of the Macgrath family; it allows him to react significantly faster in combat, has superior range, and can even sense the identity of an attacker before a fight begins. He is able to sense every potential threat, ranging from a tiny paper cut to a static shock. Though normally the danger-sense acts as a "defensive" capability to make him aware of the dangers around him, depending from himself to avoid such, Alex's danger-sense can actually counterattack such dangers before being affected. Alex can automatically discern the occurrence of an explosion, energy blast or explosive force. He can tell whether an explosion force is occurring regardless of how large or small it may happen to be. He is able to identify any level of threats from anyone or anything by means of his unmatched and honed sixth sense. This is an offshoot of his danger-sense and allows him to be just "aware" of random things at an unspecified range. He can subconsciously detect cross-dimensional portals or barriers within a limited range of 250 meters. Tactical Eye has the power to predict how a situation will happen before it starts. This allows him to run through a given situation millions of times in his mind, instantly covering every possible result before the first move is even made. He uses this information to predict the actions and or reactions of others, counteracting their moves almost before they even think to make them. Effectively making Alex the greatest tactician in the history of mankind, as he is able to see all possible outcomes of any situation before it even takes place. According to Alex, his powers also work by letting him see the outcome of the battle he wants, and working backwards, following the right steps to get there. This ability also works as a super computer, calculator, simulator, and grants Alex an even further enhanced intellect, memory, deductive and tactical capabilities. His senses are incredibly enhance. His senses enables him to see, hear, smell, feel, and taste things imperceptible to humans. He automatically and passively notices, processes and understands any/all details of any situation or environment no matter how small, allowing him to intuitively understand and solve any situation no matter how difficult it may be. It doesn't matter how small the details are, he will automatically know and process them almost instantly. This allows him to detect any modifications or powers in anyone he looks at, as well as how they work, so he can defeat them. He can detect what special abilities a opponent has, he can see the enhancements. He can even detect electrical activity in the brain. It gives him enhanced sight and perception and thus advanced skills as a sniper. Alex's skill with this was noted as being a cut above all others of his family. After training his tactical eye, Alex's perception grew even stronger. Alex is capable of using his eye to observe the blood flow, muscle movements and even the movements of his enemy's cells, allowing him to determine his enemy's weak points and strike them effectively. He's also capable of detecting when an opponent is holding back their power, as shown during his fight with Delsin. It highlights animal tracks, objectives, and other points of interest, allowing Alex to track targets effectively over long distances. It allows Alex to slow time to a crawl (from his perspective) and carefully pick out shots to cripple or kill her enemies. Alex's use of the ability is also capable of pinpointing critical areas of the target. He can enter a bullet-time-like effect, allowing him to slow time from his point of view and gain the advantage in shootouts. This allows Alex to focus and plan his movements and aiming while shooting. Alex can slow down time while driving any vehicle from his point of view. This allows him to easily take corners at full speed and make precise maneuvers quickly. Controls of the vehicle become smoother and allow Alex to pass through narrow gaps between other cars to do dangerous turns and slides without losing control or speed of the vehicle and overall improve performance. Tactical Eye has a 360º field of vision around his body. Tactical Eye's vision can penetrate almost any object, allowing him to see through walls, peer underground, or even examine the contents of a person's body. He can focus his vision on anything and everything within Tactical Eye's range, allowing him to monitor individuals from afar or to quickly survey a vast area and pinpoint specific locations within that area. Tactical Eye can see energy to a greater degree than Assassins Instinct. This enables him to distinguish certain types of clones from their original and even identify specific individuals' energy signatures. Its ability to see energy is acute enough to see the energy pathway system within a target's body and the 361 pressure points that run along it. It enables Alex to analyse an opponent's tactics during a fight, granting him a certain amount of predictive ability. It greatly enhances his comprehension capabilities to convert the things he see into identifiable information. When using this ability, Alex can determine the physical statistics of the people around them, including their abilities as well as their strengths and weaknesses, viewing anything from their heart rate to the tightness of their left shoulder from overuse. When used on an abiotic matter, it can be used to view the composition of matter, finding weak points in constructs to manipulate to his advantage such as a rusty bolt or a weak floorboard. Once in his direct focus on vision, the data is transferred into the brain, allowing him to quickly interpret the data to create a full strategy against his foes. Alex can perceive the stress points, fracture planes, or weaknesses, physical or psychological, in all objects or persons around him. By striking and applying pressure at these points, he can split or shatter objects made of seemingly invincible substances or render insensate beings of far greater strength than he. This mental discipline is virtually effortless, and Alex can attain this state of awareness for extended periods of time. Alex has the ability to see fault in all things, including people, plans, and structures, and exploit it. In combat, he can quickly determine the best strategy by analyzing his opponents and their weak points. He has a habit of telling his enemies how many ways he can defeat them. Alex can mentally visualize scenarios to identify any flaws in his course of action, bordering on precognition and conducting trial and error from his personal perspective if he must, to know when and how to properly intervene the proceedings as they happen in order to turn an imminent outcome in his favor, such as when he sliced a bullet in half with his hand. Alex also has an internal clock and compass. It enables Alex to see another person's body with extreme detail, such as breathing, muscle movements or muscle contractions, body tension, rhythm, sweat, etc. allowing Alex to predict future movements. Alex being able to see others potentials as well as their strengths and weaknesses, being able to notice other peoples' habits and behavior patterns, and lastly being able to observe others in order to copy their movements perfectly. Tactical Eye also can only analyze the data of something that he can see clearly in his direct field of vision. He has the ability to see the names and lifespans of other lifeforms, making it easier to get the names of people before they say it. However, he cannot see his own lifespans or lifespans of other Tactical Eye wielders. Alex will always see the names, even if they are not in the family registry. This implies Alex does not necessarily need an official name for one to be seen and can always be killed. Regardless of his original eyesight, he gains a visual acuity of over 3.6 (about 72/20). Tactical eyes also possess a special ability that grants vision that resembles a HUD and improves his accuracy at will, allowing him to recognize enemies, and even "lock-on" in certain circumstances. When utilizing weapons that require accuracy, those whom are caught in his "lock-on" are typically unable to escape. Tactical Eye allows him to scan the environment, such as detecting living organisms, fast approaching objects, high-energy bodies and many other anomalies, thus keeping him on guard. However; it is not perfect, as he can still be confused by the extreme speed of an opponent like Kid-Flash or by certain creatures like a Naga who are so large that Alex's eye identify it as many different enemies. It's usefulness is also limited by Alex's reaction time. Tactical Eye is capable of detecting heat signatures, analyzing speeds, and levels of energy nearby. Once a target is locked on to, he will effectively keep track of it, even if the target is hidden by a smokescreen. It allows him to clearly see the value of someone's life-force. The lower the life-force, the seemingly closer they are to death. Known sensors include radar/lidar, night vision, and physiological/medical scanners that allow Aiden to take and monitor the vitals of other people, including heart and brain scans. These scans also provide Aiden with real-time personal physiological data. It is also capable of an all-environmental scan for atmospheric content or life forms--including astral energy projections. After extended use, the eyes begin to get strained, leading to pain and throbbing in the eyes and even headaches. Furthermore, overusing his Tactical Eyes can have severe repercussions on his health, as doing so caused him to become incapacitated and feverish for more than one day someone managing to lower his body temperature. His past limit was about 3 hours, after which the pain and fatigue become too intense and he passes out for 3 times as long. Alex also speculates that repeated long uses or ones induced by stealing particularly powerful abilities may cause him to reach the limit earlier than 3 hours. Alex experiences increasingly painful pulsations in his eyes that subside with rest. However, he has difficulty with his visual prowess when he suffers injuries to his head. After extended use, the eyes begin to get strained, leading to pain and throbbing in the eyes and even headaches. Upon getting the Super Soldier Serum, he no longer suffers any negative side-effects from using them, even reducing the headaches and throbbing pain in the eyes to an unnoticeably minimal level.

**Soldiers Rage**: As a Macgrath, Alex possesses the Soldiers Rage. Once activated, Alex's eyes turn blue and his scleras turned black with white markings appearing around his pupils and a blue aura enveloped his body. Blue markings also appeared all over his body and remain as scars once its effect ended. It allows Alex to enter a berserker rage, increasing his physical capabilities. This can be triggered at will, but will also be triggered automatically if Alex is extremely angry. However, he can be forced out of it if he becomes incapacitated, stunned, or unconscious. When he enters Soldiers Rage, it becomes harder for him to maintain his humanity. When activated, Alex will furiously shout and scream in a fit of rage when reactivated. It allows him to take less damage and inflict more damage on others, practically making him invincible. As the ability is activated, Alex bursts into rage, and damage taken is reduced to half and damage given is increased on enemies. Alex is unable to die while the ability is active, allowing him to survive lethal events such as explosions, heavy collisions, or being hit by trains or other locomotives. His field of view turns a red shade with a ripple visual effect and a buzzing sound effect, time slows down slightly, but never as slow as his Assassins Instinct ability. He becomes invincible and his attacks doubled. And his point of view is also becomes blue-shaded when activated. He is able to resist serious to lethal damage like fire, explosions, various attacks and Sentry cannons. He also performs a special melee attack with up close enemies. It lets him absorb kinetic energy from every blow he takes and use it to make himself more powerful. This is a form of kinetic energy absorption, with Alex subsequently redirecting said energy against his opponent. Alex has the ability to absorb energy from the damage he has taken, and redirect it twice as hard at his opponent, effectively making him stronger with each hit he takes. He can save up the energy to use later for an even more devastating attack. When using Soldiers Rage, he draws power from inside. He gains the ability to dodge, attack or counter attack without having to think. It allows him to dash with an inhuman speed in whatever direction he chooses, often leaving trails of an invisible blur in his wake. Alex is shown to be capable of creating powerful tailwinds with Soldiers Rage; if he gathers enough momentum, the resulting turbulence is capable of lifting people and objects off the ground. Alex can also grab hold of other people or objects and carry them off at high speeds with Soldiers Rage. Alex can move short to long distances at an almost untraceable speed. To an observer, it appears as if he has teleported. Alex has somehow learned how to jump twice in the air. He uses this to jump over long distances and his first jump two times higher than his second. Alex can shift his energy to his limbs to grant him greatly augmented strength, speed, and agility, an effect giving them the ability to run along nearly any surface. He is also capable of using his enhanced strength to perform a much slower, more controlled wall climb, which is useful for precision, accuracy and stealth when scaling buildings. He can perform an airdash, allowing him to avoid projectiles or increase the speed and distance of his Glide. Alex can Glide, allowing him bridge gaps between buildings or to reach airborne enemies. Glide can be used to its utmost potential with the combination of airdash. Alex can kick the air to jump higher, giving the appearance of flight. Alex's speed is boosted to extreme levels while in Soldiers Rage. Alex can kick the water multiple times in order to achieve the effect of "running" underwater. This technique allows him to travel at incredible speeds, resulting in traveling at least as fast or faster than an Atlantean underwater. It rendered him insensitive to pain, allowing him to ignore injury and endure vast amounts of damage into his body without any immediate consequence. However, despite this he was still susceptible to being injured, but counteracted his injuries through his healing factor to heal injuries sustained in battle. It creates an absolutely invulnerable full body that completely shields him from all attacks. Solder's Rage does not weaken or break while within the set time limit. However, the use of Soldiers Rage causes Alex to shatter all his energy after the 60 seconds have passed, effectively leaving him completely defenseless and open to being hurt. It strengthened his resolve which allowed him to carry through with his decisions, helping Alex hyper-focus on his choices and suppress any feelings of doubt he had beforehand. It allows him to sense everything around him better than most people and react to attacks almost before they happen. He can even react to attacks that are outside his field of vision, such as people shooting him from behind. The human body is one which grows through survival. As muscle dystrophy is the growth of muscle through the destruction of previous muscle, his evolution enacted this phenomenon throughout the entirely of his body. Through defeat or survival, Alex's body regenerates to an enhanced state. Allowing him to return stronger, faster and more durable than before. Alex was able to tap into his overwhelming volumes of Rage for greater physical prowess and the ability to harness the ultimate powers of his genetics in his arsenal. He was only able to channel his anger through the powers of Soldier's Rage. Alex's experience and relentless training to master his rage granted him the ability to freely call upon concentrated bursts of rage, allowing for a wild but focused aggressive barrage of attacks. He even managed to develop his skill with the ability to where he was able to manifest it in numerous forms, capable of only healing himself or unleashing a devastating attack from the power of his Omnitrix. The principles of Soldiers Rage is to take advantage of the muscles' ability to grow stronger after repairing itself from damage. Understanding this theory, it can repair Alex's body and increase its strength by manipulating the "Destruction and Rebirth" cycle of the muscles. It allows Alex to survive any otherwise normally fatal damage and instantly heal from the damage. It can physically enhance his speed, strength and healing capabilities to superhuman levels. Soldier's Rage suppresses the physiological and subconscious systems of the human body which would normally prevent a person from exerting enough force to injure themselves. The result is a significant augmentation of his physicality, increasing strength and speed to previously unimaginable levels. It does this by eliminating the distress caused by pain; he can still feel pain as a sensation, but the mind does not interpret the pain as being a problem, allowing for it to simply be ignored. It also invokes a tremendous bloodlust in Alex, amplifying negative emotions like hate, fear, and anger that enable him to fight harder.

**Abilities**:

**Advanced Growth Rate**: According to Haung and Drusus, Alex's most astounding ability is his growth rate; he grasps the basic control of advanced techniques in days where it would take several years for even the most gifted students. He is incredibly gifted, thanks to his bloodline. By the time he was six months old, he had matured much more than other babies of his age, progressing through infancy at an accelerated rate. Nobody was capable of teaching him anything because he could perfectly; learn, memorize, recall, understand, master, and utilize anything and any skill by experiencing or observing it once, within seconds. Alex has astounding learning ability, which allowed him to receive full marks on nearly every test and memorize things perfectly, as he said it would be easy to remember ten types of team formation by ear. Alex accelerated learning process are in levels greater than what is naturally possible. Due to his training from instructors as a teen, his mentors classified him as the best natural fighter in history, even before his special training. As Beast Boy says, Alex is like a tricky rpg character, able to level up easily as a low-level rookie even when he's a high-level pro. He improves quickly and these improvements are amplified as he ages. Alex shows even greater growth during or after facing a powerful opponent. This ability (or trait) seems to be greatly improved after his first defeat against Mubong, when Alex awakens the desire for power that he had when he was using the Omnitrix. One of Alex's most astounding skills is his quick learning speed; he grasps various kung fu techniques over an incredibly short span of time, whereas others would spend years perfecting such skills. This has amazed his friends and foes alike. In just a manner of days with the right motivation, Alex was able to grow proficient enough to match kung fu masters like Lee and Tai , and Alex is also able to beat the Furious Five whether one-on-one, or "one-on-five" even with mind control, which he demonstrated on sparring or real fight, and achieved inner peace at a very young age. Throughout part 3, Alex has also been shown performing powerful kung fu techniques after seeing them only once or simply reading about them. He also invented a few types of fighting styles by himself like Darkjutsu which is (or maybe) an alternative to many martial art styles. During his special training with the Angel, Sontis and God of Destruction, Manga, he rapidly studied every combat move of them; furthermore, he was also gifted enough to learn and complete the utmost fighting skills training from Ninjutsu in a week. He’s also a prodigy with a genius IQ and possible synesthesia (it's unknown if he was born with it or he trained it).

**Indomitable Will**: Alex has a highly undaunted spirit, not easily giving in to intimidation that would disrupt his focus, maintaining a cool head, and pushing through adversity. Alex's willpower, which is mainly fueled by his pride as the prince of the Macgrath and Nikolayevna families, is such that he can stand great physical and mental stress. His willpower is such that he can remain immobile for days under the extreme conditions of a wasteland or counter a Witch's powerful Manipulation Sorcery. Alex’s unstoppable determination and strength of will makes him an extremely formidable opponent. This makes him able to function while tolerating massive amounts of physical pain, and also allows him to resist telepathy or mind control. His willpower is strong enough to operate a Green Lantern Ring when necessary. Alex has a very strong will. He is able to resist Scarecrow's potent fear toxins, resist and overcome mind control from Brother Blood and the Groom. He was even a candidate to succeed the Green Lantern Hanzo. Alex has complete control of his mind and consciousness, providing a strong resistance against telepathic powers that are used against him. When Mindfreak tries to control Alex’s mind, he scoffs at their attempt saying "It doesn't feel different from any other day. Alex can control his nervous system enabling him to deaden his body to physical pain, control his emotions. He can even control his bleeding rate. He is a very strong-willed person. He is able to overcome all forms of temptation, mind control, and resist the effects of extreme pain, drugs, and toxins to a great extent. He accepts his own mortality, and refuses to rob any sapient being of their freedom. He has a strong Force of Will, completely free of evil and temptation. For years, he has struggled to balance his life as a student and his superhero duties. He is able to emerge from defeat even stronger. His mental strength is also shown when he successfully wrestles control of nanobots from Albedo. Despite this, he has been taken over by his emotions on numerous occasions, and there has been times where he has seriously considered and even attempted to kill his opponents. He has shown to have a powerful spirit, free of corruption and temptation. Having been raised by his family, he was taught to protect life and help others. Despite his negative outlook, he is very optimistic and never gives up, even when things look bad. Alex possesses an indomitable will which enables him to persevere in the face of seemingly insurmountable obstacles. His force of will is so great that he has unconcernedly mutilated his own body in pursuit of his goals, and let himself be injured in order to create openings and execute counterattacks on opponents. It is specifically his personal determination that pushes him forward in the face of opposition as one branded, and factors greatly into his retention of his humanity. Alex possesses tremendous amount of willpower and determination that cannot be weakened. No matter the situation, opponents or obstacles he pushes forward, refusing to give up regardless of what happened. His determination to wipe out Vilgax and save the universe has remained with him constantly for years. Max Tennyson describes Alex´s will as a sword which cut through his enemies. Alex has incredible willpower to allow him to survive even the harshest thing live throws at him. His will is incredible large to the point where he can cast away evil spirits trying to possess him. He possessed a stoic tolerance for pain and Jedi mind tricks, the latter of which he was normally—though not always—immune to. His willpower is strong enough to resist certain Alien forms that can influence his personality such as Rath and Jury Rigg. Alex's willpower was strong enough to withstand Oro Gen Silvers outburst of Haoshoku Haki, which knocked out numerous giant predators.

**Mental Resistance**: After an attack by the Key involving telepathy, mind control and illusions. Alex suggested that the team should train with Miss Martian to combat this vulnerability, for future attacks. Thus, Alex has received training from Miss Martian to increase resistance to mind attacks, telepathy and mind control. Even before he received training from J'onn, he's capable of resisting a high-tech mind control machine for 26 hours straight.

**Mind Control Resistance/Possession Resistance**: Alex managed to break out of Ayame's Uchiha mind control to save Chun. After being freed he knew immediately that he done some very bad things. Alex was also able to resist being possessed to transformed when one of the ghost possessed him.

**High Concentration**: Alex possesses extraordinary mental abilities and concentration, and through years of practice is able to perform two complex and two simple independent actions, simultaneously, one with each arm.

**Intimidation**: It is widely known that Alex has the ability to instill fear in others, to the extent that even the people that know him best are intimidated by him. Alex regularly forces common criminals to flee in terror despite there being no evidence that he would actually kill anyone. Even those who aren't afraid of the likes of Phil fear Alex. His ability to inspire great fear made him eligible for induction into the Sinestro Corps, although he was able to fight off the power ring's control. He can use 463 different ways to intimidate someone without harming them. He is skilled enough to get skullface, who only fears gods, to talk and was able to contain a riot in a insane Asylum. He commands an intimidating presence, to the point where most criminals fear him and give up information willingly, He was able to threaten many individuals on the List into righting their wrongs and refrain from further corruptness. Through his reputation, he can manipulate his targets' actions. Even after his identity was exposed to the public, He is still feared by most of his enemies. Due to his efficiency as an assassin and the determination with which he pursues his goals, he is widely known and feared within the Assassin community. People who know his reputation are extremely cautious about provoking his wrath. Despite of that, he is often underestimated by various of his collages and even some of higher classes look down on him. Alex Macgrath, as Nightmare Shadow, is so infamous among criminal and terrorist organizations, that it strikes fear into their hearts when they know he's coming for them. Due to his legendary reputation, he is extremely intimidating to various monsters and demons. During Samual talk with Joseph, he voiced his fear when seeing him and acknowledged how easy it would be for Alex to kill him. The best example of this is how Jarad acknowledged that his henchmen feared Alex and after killing Jarad, He was able to abolish the position of Ruler of Slourateron by threatening that any contenders for the position would have to go through him. Those who know about his abilities show fear of him. Alex can emit a "powerful aura", which makes his foes tremble and become pressured, as Hirko and Sanji were left amazed and horrified by his aura. Alex is able to invoke fear in those he dislikes or who bother him by merely threatening them. Due to his appearance, actions and legend, Alex is greatly feared among even by his allies even though he never injures or kills any of them. The Nova Corps soldiers were terrified when he came before them. Despite that most foes during battle are not frightened by his presence and attack him constantly. Alex is well-known and feared among vampires and other supernatural beings who are hesitant about ever facing him in combat or invoking his wrath. Alex possesses a terrifying aura which is depicted as a demon. A Plumber soldier mental state broke when he had to face against Alex. While Albedo survived due to Alex not killing him, he succumbed to amnesia afterwards and his mental state reverted back to that of a child. Even hearing Alex's name causes fear in experienced fighters including Asta. Despite his stoic expression, Alex has a horrifying side and a sinister killing intent given the Nikolayevna's history of being elite assassins. When looking into Alex's eyes, he can exclude pure killing intention, and having it affect his opponent, himself, and others around him, up to the point of paralysing them with fear. When the killing intent is particularly strong, it can even give the victim visions of their own gruesome death. This can cause killing intent to be confused with a illusion, despite it not being a superpower at all.

**Death Defiance**: Though much of his survival is predicated on his sheer determination and willpower, Alex's life has been littered with instances where his survival was largely coincidental. For an unspecified amount of time, he is left to die beneath the full weight of a destroy building, yet he still releases a healthy groan upon randomly being discovered by Han and his rebels at a later point. The Watcher notes that Alex "began [his] life from death", and as such possesses a flair for escaping it. Such instances include, but are not limited to: During one of Gambino's mercenary operations, Alex is the only survivor of a decoy charge, where his fellow rebels are all killed by a volley of blaster fire. After being shot off a cliff by Han's rebels, he survives the high fall, fends off an attack from a pack of beast and is by chance taken in by another rebel group. During his hostage taking of a senator's son, he reaches out for the son's unclasped flower, resulting in the sniper behind him missing a shot aimed at his back and instead hitting the noble's son. In his duel with Spock, his survival is heavily dependent on a virbo-axe cracking before it can cleave his head. During an unspecified time between his enlistment into the Rebel Alliance and reappearance as the Rebel's captain, he was involved in a battle where he was the sole survivor amongst a myriad of fallen soldiers, leading Samuel to marvel at his "luck of the devil". Despite Vilgax's prediction of Alex's demise during his betrayal at the hands of the Plumbers, he still contends against the hordes of Plumbers– even after nearly all of his comrades are slaughtered – and ultimately survives the battle.

**Overwhelming Presence**: Due to Alex's reputation as the man who killed Vilgax, Alex can manipulate people into fearing or even obeying him, and most of the time he never even realizes that he is doing so. In one instance, when he was in a restaurant, Alex was beset upon by six elite assassins, but they were intimidated and humbled by Alex's way of speech and gave up on being assassins entirely. In reality, Alex thought they were civilian and didn't want to be bothered with them, using the hunting of monsters as an excuse to get them out of his hair. While wandering in the Kree's headquaters, Alex stumbled upon a Skrull disguised as a child and stopped his own assassination by intimidating the monster into having a heart attack and melting. In reality, he just didn't want to be responsible for the child and phrased his attempts at dissuading him in an intimidating way.

**Indomitable Rage**: The defining proponent of Alex's persona is his undying fury aimed against Vilgax and those like him. His rage is such that it was enough to keep him alive and propel him forward across worlds & time for the better part of an eternity after he sealed himself in an unknown planet to fight off his accursed army. The intense hatred he feels towards Vilgax and all his affiliates have not only given him insurmountable strength to wade through waves upon waves of monstrous fiends and apparitions, but made him legendary in the annals of history across multiple dimensions as well as in their recorded fables. Whenever Alex's hatred deepens, others remark how much stronger, darker, colder, and more sinister he becomes. According to Atrocitus, Alex's rage makes him a perfect candidate for the Red Lantern Corps.

**Bloodlust**: Alex possesses a massive amount of hidden bloodlust which can affect his opponents in varying ways; the most significant, powerful reaction can involve immobilization and an inability to counterattack or to fight back, and this type of reaction affects even trained professional assassins. This is made very clearly evident for the first time during his mock assassination with Superboy, and another early event is the incident when two of his old teammates threatened him, sparked the interest of all three of the founders of the Justice League. When Alex bloodlust is released or directed at someone, it is metaphorically represented as a large, blood-soaked snake coiled around his target with its fangs bared and ready to strike at any moment. His bloodlust takes the form of a flaming aura around him in a way that either mimics or reflects that of the God of Death. However, if Alex were to lose control of his bloodlust due to emotional provocation, his inability to rein his bloodlust back under control is indicated in his eyes, which are illustrated as dull, and as such can cause him to grow reckless or lack foresight during combat while focusing on his target, apart that would cause that opponents with bloodlust that exceeds Alex own are not affected in the slightest.

**Interrogation Master**: Alex is adept in interrogation techniques, often using law enforcement methods as well as torture. Several methods include hanging a person over the edge of a building by one leg or chaining a person upside down and beating them. He usually just uses his frightening appearance to get answers. Alex summarized his methods with the statement: "Fear is an excellent motivator." He is adept in the use of interrogation techniques, employing anything from law enforcement methods to outright torture. Several techniques have been seen, include hanging a person over the edge of a building by one leg or chaining a person upside down and beating them. Alex uses his skills at interrogation to get information from people linked to criminals through creative use of torture as well such as water boarding, electrocution, suffocation, sleep deprivation, starvation etc. During his time with a retired CIA agent, Alex became an excellent interrogator and torturer. He is capable of inflicting much physical pain into a target without killing them and is even capable of using mind games to worsen the discomfort. He has an in-depth knowledge of torture, able to inflict the maximum amount of pain and agony on a victim while keeping them alive as long as possible. Even Kafune, another torturer of Arayd, was deeply impressed and admired Alex’s skills in torturing his targets. He tortured various henchmen in the planet of Cribinia to learn Dargivok's location and soon found him. Alex also tortured Loathsome but the latter was resilient until Alex realized that he could get to him by leaving him trapped, as a reminder of how Loathsome was imprisoned for 300 years. His cold demeanor and ability to detect lies through body language has proven so intimidating that thugs and soldiers give up information quickly. Trained by a police officer and FBI Agent, Alex used manipulative interrogation tactics that fooled suspects into doing what he wanted. When there was no evidence to use against suspects, he often planted evidence to incriminate them. Alex's ambition to make detective often forced him to excel as an undercover agent. Alex is a master of interrogation both physically and psychologically, and plays an important part in the extracting of information, as he interrogates suspects and prisoners of war. He has the ability to subject people to great suffering without ever using physical torture. He has complete knowledge of human psychology; by attacking a person's mind, he can gain control over their spirit. His interrogation skills are so reputed that, once he discovered that Alex was the one going to interrogate them, Corey immediately decided to kill all his comrades of the Delta Division to prevent them from revealing any information.

**The Man Without Fear**: It is untrue that Alex has never been afraid but through the years of training and experience, Alex currently shows a detached ability to fear and emotions bordering on sociopathic. This ability extends to immunity from "fear toxins" and spells, as Alex seems to simply be "The Man Without Fear."

**Most Dangerous Man in the Universe**: Alex is said to be the most dangerous assassin in the Milky Way galaxy. He is a highly accomplished athlete trained in gymnastics, hand-to-hand combat, the uses of the known weaponry of the galaxy, and stealth techniques.

**High pain Tolerance**: Insanity, torture, spiritually gifted, or simply numb from all the years of damage to his body, Alex has an incredibly strong threshold for pain. Despite his mastery of martial arts and firearms, Alex is injured frequently but rarely notices beyond checking his wounds for bleeding. During his final fight with Avandeyeva, Alex allows Avandeyeva’s knife to re-enter an already existing stab wound; this causes a considerable amount of pain but allows him to win the fight by breaking Avandeyeva’s arm while simultaneously avoiding creating any new wounds. He also cut his own ring finger showing only medium pain and than blaze it with even lesser reaction. Alex has been shown to be able to recover from and endure more damage and pain then the average Human, being smacked around by large opponents and having large objects fall on him. His tolerance for physical trauma & fatigue is far greater than the average human being. He even learned ancient meditation techniques that allowed him to ignore pain. Combined with his tenacity, has given him a high resistance to torture, refusing to give any information to Blackheart despite the severe beating he was getting from the giant goon with him. Due to his mental instability and training, Alex is extremely stoic, as shown by his indifference to pain and discomfort. He even tolerated Antarctic temperatures while wearing only a beach attire over street clothes, without complaining or even commenting on the severe cold. During his arrest, Alex was able to jump from the window of Koung's apartment and shake off the rough landing, only to go on to fight officers briefly before being overwhelmed. Alex can bear very intense physical pain without his physical or mental abilities being impaired. He's had his leg broken by one of his mentors, but hadn't even flinched and showed any signs of distress.

**Poison Tolerance**: Alex is highly resistant against poison. He drank a cocktail laced with the body fluids of a pufferfish, a family of fish which contain the neurotoxin tetrodotoxin which is lethal in the micrograms. His only symptoms after ingesting the cocktail was a tingling sensation and a inhibited sense of pain which helped relieve his gunshot wound. During the fight on the cruise ship, he withstood inhaling enough poison gas to take down a bear. Due to his assassin training, Alex became resistant to a great number of poisons, toxins and chemicals. He first displayed this ability when he drank five cans of Toppo's juice during the Exam without experiencing any side effects, despite the beverage containing a laxative that, in that dose, should have completely dehydrated him. When he was stung by a Droid Mosquito, he revealed that its toxin had absolutely no effect on his body. When Khyber paralyzed him during their fight, he claimed that Alex would be unable to move for 10 days, whereas Terax believed that four would suffice; however, Alex stood back up minutes after the poison had taken effect.

**Superior Luck**: Alex has ridiculous amounts of luck; equal parts good and bad. He is able to thoroughly fool the media and the Bounty Hunter community, get all the credit for defeating opponents he never fought, become one of the most popular person on the planet, and has made extremely strong enemies back-off in fear when facing him. He always managed to get away from many dangerous or stressful situations that may potentially cost his life, popularity, or reveal his secret. Paradoxically he unintentionally draws upon the good merits of others by mistake, as well as have the unprecedented knack for either stumbling into or drawing the most cataclysmic situations imaginable his way. On the other hand, Alex is always in the wrong place at the wrong time when monsters attack; enemies often zero in on him specifically, sometimes for miscellaneous reasons and sometimes because they are motivated to confront him due to knowing his fearsome reputation.

**Cheating Death**: Alex has cheated death numerous times, even in seemingly inescapable and lethal situations. He has been, among other things, caught in explosions, electrocuted, shot repeatedly, and dropped from great heights, but he always returns to once again to finish the job.

**Unpredictability**: It is difficult for anyone to know what Alex will do at any given moment, given that he himself barely knows what he'll do at any given moment. This makes it difficult for most opponents to predict what he will do. Kendrick, whose abilities allowed him to analyze and copy the Bounty Hunter's fighting style, once believed Alex always dodged to the left. Alex proved him wrong, however, by completely changing his fighting style on a whim, throwing off Kendrick’s abilities.

**Master Acrobatic**: In part 1, Alex has proven to be able to perform complex aerial maneuvers. Even at ten, his acrobatic skills were so advanced, that Charmcaster was forced to use her telekenetic magic in order to keep up with him, while he was suffering from an apparent flu. Alex is highly capable of acrobatic and gymnastic feats, such as parkour or free running moves, while he incorporates these skills in traversing urban areas and in fighting. In part 2, Alex is known as one of the most finest human athlete on Earth as well as proficient in gymnastics and acrobatics. Proficient in gymnastics and acrobatics, to the peak of human ability. He is particularly skilled in parkour and free running. He can perform impeccably precise acrobatic moves instinctively in combat, or whilst escaping a catastrophe, and can even dodge a superhuman individual's blows and sword-swings. He regularly practices his gymnastics and acrobatics blindfolded. He is a prodigious natural athlete and master acrobat, possessing a peak human level of agility/acrobatic skills. He is regarded as the greatest human acrobat in the world. He is one of three people in the world who can pull off a quadruple flip. He further practices his abilities even going so far as to chase the criminals around just to test his speed. Thanks to his great strength and phenomenal equilibrium, Alex is an excellent athlete, excelling in all gymnastic fields and being able to perform every acrobatic stunt ever performed, including others that can never be performed by even an Olympic acrobat. Acrobatics is the performance of extraordinary human feats involving movements that are a combination of balance, agility, and motor coordination. This combination often utilizes apparatus such as tightropes, trapezes, unicycles, balls, barrels, and/or poles. The performance of acrobatics requires quick reactions, and accurate timing. It can improve strength and overall body conditioning when done safely. Alex has incorporated acrobatics into his fighting style and combat. He can jump high, keep up with acrobatic opponents running across cities, and use his agility to survive falls that would kill ordinary humans. He is extremely agile and athletic. He is capable of many different climbing and scaling abilities, such as step-jumping to climb raised walls, performing the infamous "Split Jump,", a split leg maneuver, to keep himself supported for a long period of time, as well as being able to hold on tightly to ceiling pipes or even the undercarriage of a moving train. He is also strong enough to lift the body of a full grown man onto his back and carry it around and can run somewhat faster than the average person. He uses unorthodox climbing techniques (e.g. split jumps, half split jumps, difficult techniques to climb pipes, and so on). His acrobatic maneuvers extend to using not only walls but also furniture and even human beings to push off from in order to escape. Strictly speaking, these are not unarmed combat techniques – they might almost be some form of the French gymnastic art of Parkour. He also utilizes some aspects of parkour while surmounting obstacles, albeit in a slightly slower and stealthier way. His agility continued to improve with age and he was commonly seen walking around in a headstand on just his fingers. He later developed remarkable acrobatic abilities, which allowed him to join the gymnastics and perform high-wire acts with balance and grace. People traveled for miles to see him perform. Because of this, he was fast and agile in battle, able to outmaneuver almost any opponent he came across and jump exceptionally high and far, even from a stationary position. His abilities allowed him to dodge the attacks of dozens of powerful earth enders, who were unable to land a hit on him. He is also limber; able to twist, bend, and contort himself into positions nearly impossible for an ordinary person to achieve. These abilities also granted him impressive parkour and free-running skills, allowing him to scale almost any surface or terrain quickly and squeeze through most barriers and small spaces with noticeable ease. He took gymnastics during his training. As a result, he is very acrobatic and has great finesse, performing wall scrambles to reach higher levels or swinging on cloth banners as if it were a trapeze. He can climb ropes like a soldier and transition into zip-lines within a moment's notice. As he hardens into a survivor, he can combine his scramble move to attack enemies in their weak spots. Alex has been a talented free runner since youth, scaling walls, scrambling, tumbling, vaulting, and long jumping. Between climbing trees, rock walls, and the facades of buildings, he is a master of agility. Alex's years of training and experience have made him an extremely skilled acrobat, gymnast, and aerialist, being able to fluidly dodge attacks from multiple directions using coordinated flips, twists, and sharp turns without losing balance. He often utilizes these talents in combat for both evasive and offensive purposes. Combined with his superhuman agility, Alex has shown expertise in utilizing parkour and tricking flips in his attacks and takedowns. A skilled athlete, Alex proves himself numerous times throughout his life to be able to perform many physically demanding actions, such as sprinting and swimming for extended periods of time, skydiving, para-sailing, mountain climbing and snowboarding. He has exceptional upper body strength, and is able to climb ledges and hang from ziplines by one arm. Alex is very flexible and athletic as it is, even though it's getting harder to stay flexible at his age, but he's still able to make full split jumps and hang with his legs from pipes or edges where he can aim, shoot or make a surprise attack on someone. So far though, Alex is known for being fast on his feet, fast in his line of work and on his infiltration style including using the French gymnastic art of Parkour as more than just a hobby and in times even a lethal weapon. Basically, think 'modern-day ninja.' He is able to gracefully scale buildings, perform both horizontal and vertical wall runs, sprint at high speeds, climb vertical columns, swing from horizontal structures, and use acrobatic maneuvers to his advantage in battles with multiple opponents by vaulting over them and/or even grabbing them while vaulting into a hold. Since he was trained by a Master Assassin, he was taught the Leap of Faith, using it on at least multiple occasions to escape his enemies. Alex is a proficient acrobat and climber. He is able to quickly scale walls to out of reach places, as well as climbing on pipes and ledges to get to hidden entrances. He regularly utilizes rooftops and window ledges to navigate the City out of ground level view and the reach of guards. This is further enhanced by the addition of The Claw and rope arrows to his arsenal, allowing him to reach locations he wouldn't be able to otherwise. In part 3, Alex was trained with various ninjas provided by the Order of the White Lotus into navigating through hazardous environments. After his first jump, Alex is able to jump again without a need for physical structures to push off of. While running up a wall, Alex does a back flip jumping up further, he uses this technique to scale walls by jumping in between two walls until he reaches the top. He adapted this move by jumping on top of his opponent and locking his feet on the head and then back flipping his opponent. This variation is similar to the Guillotine Throw but instead of tossing his opponent, Alex slams them into the ground while standing above them with his arms crossed. Better known as wall running, it is a basic ninja technique. Wall running and then jumping from one wall to the other while still wall running. Similar to the Invisible Path Technique, except Alex wall runs around a room from corner to corner scaling a tall building's interior. Alex can perform a second jump in mid-air. Alex does a long cartwheel jump forward. He can do it while standing still or running. By running down steps or inclines, Alex uses the momentum to perform a longer jump. It's used most effectively to clear large pits. By jumping into a wall and then jumping in the opposite direction, Alex can perform a wall jump and reach places that are otherwise inaccessible. While clinging to a wall, Alex can propel himself off it and perform a mid-air dash forward. It can be used to switch positions or move faster in between locations. While in the middle of a sliding kick, Alex quickly makes a somersault backflip in the opposite direction.

**Master Martial Artist**: From a young age, Alex was trained by the Nikolayevna and Macgrath families, as apart of family tradition. From a young age, his father enrolled him in the best self-defense classes there were, so he would be able to be ahead of his peers. After getting the Omnitrix, his older brother Delsin begin to train him in various Plumber and S.H.I.E.L.D. techniques. After learning more advance techniques from both families, Alex is a master hand-to-hand combatant who can take out his enemies with ease, possessing knowledge in martial arts, agility and various weapons due to the months of extensive training. Alex is one of the finest human combatants on Earth, his skills honed to such a level even superhumans and armed adversaries can be overpowered by them. He has mastered several different martial arts styles from across the world, learned from his mother and father. He also has knowledge of Macgrath and Nikolayevna fighting techniques. He was able to best Delsin in a sparring match between the two and even fight roughly on par with his father, though he was clearly holding back. He is very capable of using any weapon he picks up, from guns to butterfly knives. His primary combat skill is swordsmanship, allowing him to take on Delsin in a sword fight. Physically, Alex's Human body is in top form. Alex has been trained in martial arts since he was a small child, both by his parents and extended family. He has repeatedly shown great agility and coordination in his attacks. In addition to having powerful kicks and punches, Alex is proficient in counterattacks, takedowns, and body locks. He has repeatedly caught an opponent's weapon strikes with a single hand. He effortlessly defeats multiple bullies and gangsters on a regular basis, and is a better martial artist than Tommy, who is officially ranked the second strongest fighter of his age group in all of Gotham despite his fighting with a broken arm. Combined with his speed, he effortlessly knocked out agents in rapid succession, while bare-handed, with a single strike each before the first agent even touched the ground. While he has stopped training, constant attacks from bullies and his family keep his skills fresh. He has developed a unique fighting style that made full use of his agility, strength, and equilibrium. When angered, his fighting style becomes much more brutal with cheap shots and dirty tactics in nature and he has no qualms of breaking bones or putting his foes to the hospital if he has to. In spite of his young age, Alex is an exceptional melee fighter and master of innumerable unarmed combat techniques. The difference in experience between assassination and a proper fight initially prevented him from making the most of them, but he soon improved to an astounding degree. He countered Deathstroke's assault despite the latter having a superior output and his own hands being unusable. During their duel, he goaded Slade into striking him in a certain way by pretending to have an imperfect guard. His fighting style, which is extremely versatile, aims at dealing the maximum amount of damage in the shortest time possible, striking critical points and making ample use of lightning-fast submission holds to incapacitate or kill the opponent. He can knock out a person by striking a sensitive spot on their neck while moving at high speed, a feat which requires superhuman levels of precision. Alex is particularly skilled at finding patterns in the fighting style of his adversary and at figuring out their weak spots, and at using them to exploit or create openings. He rarely resorts to combos, preferring to land single, critical strikes or to maintain a safe distance from more powerful opponents. After leaving the Orphanage, he became more assertive and prone to deadly blitzes, making the most of an opponent's distraction of vulnerability even if it means chasing them. Due to the Nikolayevna's philosophy of never putting their lives at risk while fighting, he was also taught a wide array of defensive and escape tactics. He seems to prefer to dodge attacks rather than block them, sometimes using the foe's charge to reposition himself in their blind spot, but he also has a solid guard. Alex was taught combat techniques by his older brother for about one month, and received further instructions from his parents before his match against Vilgax. Despite his limited training, he proved time and time again to be a competent, extremely crafty fighter. After 10 days of relentless fighting against Aiden, he was able to spar with Delsin on equal ground while using Assassin Mode both through a training exercise, in which practitioners must share a similar level of similar skill, and at full speed. His prowess at close quarters surprised Aiden and Yaroslava, although he was outmatched in both cases. After the Forever Knight crushed his windpipe, Alex accurately predicted he would go for the back of his neck next and focused his energy there, showing the ability to anticipate his opponents without seeing them. Delsin noted that he improves at a tremendous rate when in real combat situations. In just 20 days, Alex managed to significantly reduce the gap between himself and Deathstroke, a veteran of over 5,000 battles who employs unarmed combat as his main means of offense. Alex's fighting style is punch-based, often including flurries of blows and his unpredictable tactics as well as the occasional kick when the position makes it more convenient. He excelled at systematically taking down his opponents with precise strikes to key points in the body. Even more, he demonstrated blazing speed and combined with superb reflexes, coordination, and agility, he could seamlessly dodge nearly any attack while simultaneously able to counterattack his opponent. These traits made him especially formidable at close range, forcing enemies to keep their distance, where Alex's skill made him difficult to hit. Alex specializes in close-range hand-to-hand combat. His style is shown to be very nimble and coordinated, flipping about to evade enemy attacks and using the environment to launch himself at the opponent. Upon which, he is able to seamlessly unleash a barrage of strikes from each of his limbs. Alex possesses impressive and prodigious fighting skills, as he was able to take down several armed soldiers and police officers on his own. His combat style is very brutal, by him using more extreme methods, comparative to Delsin, to incapacitate enemies. His rage and sadism make him a potentially more violent vigilante than his older brother. Alex is also skilled enough to overcome his cousins during their workouts and was also able to subdue Arthur twice, choking him out with just his legs the second time. However, Alex was unable to handle far more experienced fighters such as Delsin or even Slade Wilson. In part 2, after training around the world, Alex was trained in more than 190 styles of martial arts. By most accounts, it took Alex Macgrath five and a half years to cross the globe, learning how to hit people, find people, and 1,001 other skills before he returned back home. Alex knows various martial art styles from non-lethal to lethal, and combined with his Omnitrix, specially his more powerful alien forms, makes him an extremely formidable and untouchable foe. He focuses all principles and teachings into one allowing him to surprise his opponents by continually changing the stances, forms and techniques however he wants making it nigh-impossible to what he will do. His methods are volatile, enabling him to rival practically all types of combatants. He has mastered virtually all known forms of physical combat and Martial arts. He knows how to control his weight and has stated that he knows, "one thousand ways to kill a man." He also possesses infinite ways to kill a man. Alex was trained in different styles of martial arts. He uses a fighting style that merges many of these styles. Alex has entirely mastered and even perfected every single form of hand-to-hand combat known to man and is one of the finest human combatants Earth has ever known. He was trained around the world for years to master multiple martial arts. Kirigi stated to Alex that he is a natural genius in fighting due to "his great violent nature inside of him". Even Kahless, a legendary martial artist who mastered hundreds of thousands of different fighting techniques and forms, was very surprised that Alex adapted and learned Intergalactic-style combat in seconds that he never even experienced, which convinced him to take Alex under his wing. With his gymnastic ability creating a style that suits his strengths and enables him to use his knowledge to the best of his ability. When fighting, he has the ability to use pressure points to subdue his opponents. Alex's combat style is extremely unpredictable, proven as flexible and precise in his maneuvers, easily changing tactics and attack patterns to suit the situation to systematically take down his foes.

Alex has proven he can easily defeat a highly trained Green Beret within seconds, defeat multiple groups of armed opponents, fight evenly with Ben Tennyson and Vilgax multiple times, and defeat enemies that are physically superior to him through the use of sheer skill. Alex once had limited skill in hand-to-hand combat due to his acrobatic skills. After training around the world, he became a highly skilled martial artist capable of fighting Vilgax and his own friends overtime. Though not as skilled as Lady Shiva, she was left impressed with his martial skills. He has received extensive training from the best in the world, and after the timeskip, had traveled the world, learning every form of martial arts he could. He is considered one of the finest martial artists and ultimate human combatant on Earth. His physical prowess is so great that he has defeated Rook in hand to hand combat himself, who he claims he should be able to defeat in three moves tops and take on 300 opponents at once. Alex is also proficient in many martial arts disciplines and is extremely talented in the use of edged weapons and conventional firearms. Often, his outspoken attitude during combat about using his abilities seems to have become one of his favorite weapons - intimidation. As such, he believes that his attention in the underground grants him more effectiveness in combat with a near flawless reputation, rather than an assassin who often uses fear of the unknown. Alex is a deadly assassin and one of the preeminent martial artists on the planet. He has combined many moves and elements from numerous martial arts including a few forgotten ones to create a combat form that matches his own strengths. He can quickly outmaneuver, outmatch or simply outlast his opponents, even being capable of taking on multiple enemies at once. He is able to adapt to his opponent's fighting styles, studying them during the fight and adapting to negate their strengths as seen when he faced negative and his students.

Amnesia can't even hinder him enough to prevent himself from defending others neither.

He remembers all the battles and conflict both he and Vilgax bared through during their alternate lifetime throughout time and space, including his expansive journey throughout the Omega Sanction.

Due to him fighting an endless war against an army of demons in another realm, alongside Hippolyta Odinson for 37 years. Thanks to his years of martial arts training, Alex can identify the martial art that his opponent uses against him and counter nearly any opponent. According to Cornelius, he has seen Alex take on whole armies by himself. He also stated that Alex's fighting style is indistinguishable from his younger self. Khyber, one of the most dangerous bounty hunter and hunter in the galaxy, acknowledges that Alex can kill him, but Alex doesn't want to cause he won't risk it. Even without any memory, Alex has been forced to fight and survive an infinite loop of battles, possessing incredible muscle memory, combat skill and making him a very experienced combatant. Alex has mastered every single martial art in the world, and by combining them all, he has created a completely unpredictable fighting style.

While employing the art in combat, Alex fights with tenacity, with his attacks based on accurate and fast strikes, or counterattacks. Generally, he neutralizes his opponent, breaking limbs like arms and wrists. Alex also has a tendency to use objects in the environment to his advantages, such as heights, desks, pianos, doors and windows and even the weapons of his enemies. Alex is also a very experienced combatant, not only has he been fighting to protect the innocent for most of his life. He remembers all the battles and conflict both he and Ben bared through during their alternate lifetime and adventures throughout time and space, including his expansive journey throughout the Omega Sanction. When it comes to Khyber and Alex, even before his training with Kahless's, Khyber has admitted that Alex's better. If Khyber never had the Nemetrix, he would hate the idea of fighting Alex, without his enhanced strength and speed. Alex has been trained by many martial arts instructors from around the world, some of those professionals mentioned are Wildcat, Lady Shiva, Chu Chin Li, Tsunemoto, Kirigi, David Cain, Shao-La, H'sein-Tan, the Zhuguan, Richard Dragon, Deathstroke, Deadshot, Deadpool, Taskamster, Winter Soldier, Bullseyes, and The Punisher to name a few.

In part 4, after training with his Angel and God of Destruction, Alex created a new martial art style dubbed Dark-Jutsu, a modified version of Alex's own combat style and the various martial arts he mastered during his journey. Alex combined his combat experiences, his superhuman capabilities, his mastery of acrobatics, concepts from his combat training around the world and his additional training from the White Lotus and Gods to create it. His skill with his fighting style was later increased with his Omnitrix and currently uses this fighting style to counter all types of combatants, as it complements his superhuman powers. As an adult, Alex has mastered hundreds of thousands of different fighting techniques and forms being practiced across the universe. Alex is a master of martial arts from across the universe, able to catch his younger self off-guard and defeat him with a single blow. On his own, Alex is strong enough to knock down enemies of his size or larger, allowing him to hold his own against opponents stronger than him in his human form. Of course, he is very much dependent on transforming while fighting more powerful opponents like the members of the Equalist and Kara.

**Pressure Point Locator**: He can locate different pressure points on a person's body; incapacitate, paralyze, severely injure, or kill a person, but prefers not to. He has shown himself to be capable of landing pressure point attacks on the likes of Arthur Williams and Patrick Ferguson. Another of Alex’s defining abilities was his mastery of pressure-point-striking martial arts, or chi blocking. With his extensive knowledge of the human body, he could strike sequences of pressure points, immobilizing his enemies to various degrees. He had the ability to paralyze a single body part or an opponent's entire body. This technique allowed him to block certain chi paths in benders to compromise their abilities. This made him especially dangerous to benders who relied solely on their bending and possessed no secondary fighting skills. Combined with his extraordinary agility, he was able to defeat dozens of powerful Earthbenders within seconds. It can be used to block out the users of Magic, Ki, Charka, Aura, Semblance, Energy, and Nen, preventing them from using their abilities. Alex has good knowledge of pressure points, as he knew of a pressure point in the shoulder of an Appoplexian and humans that can paralyze them when he used it to subdue Ben in his Rath form. He calls it the Hephaestan Neuro Grip, which is useful in taking down all manner of prey.

**Dim Mak**: An ancient form of martial arts where he strike vital points of the opponent's body causing paralysis, intense and prolonged pain or death. He knows a two-finger nerve strike technique that, if not executed perfectly and with the precise amount of pressure, can easily kill someone. He was taught a specific nerve strike technique by Lady Shiva, that allows him to instantly paralyze an opponent. He taught a specific nerve strike technique to Alma, that causes instant paralysis. He stated he knew a specific nerve strike that could harm aliens species as powerful as Saiyans and Kryptonians.

**Weapons Master**: In part 1, Alex is capable of wielding a great number of weapons proficiently as well as of turning any object into a lethal one. He won Sly's challenge by drenching him in liquor and setting it ablaze, and killed multiple Droids with the arms they wielded. Alex is also adept at using projectile-type weapons, although he has never employed any in combat. His weapon of choice are two yo-yos weighing 50 kilograms each, which he can wield with great dexterity, amazing Plumber Jack Hudson. He can use them as lightning-fast long-ranged weapons, as a grapple, or swing them around himself to counter incoming attacks. He can also use the environment to alter their trajectory, causing them to hit the target from their blind spots. Alex is reluctant to use them in battle if he is unable to prevent the information from being leaked to other enemies, preferring to resort to his raw physical abilities and combat skills in order for his opponent to know as little about him as possible. Alex has shown to be adept at using his fishing rod both as a club and a whip-like weapon (striking the opponent with the float). He is so skilled that he can grab distant objects with the hook, his highest accomplishment being managing to steal a Plumber's tag despite the latter's speed and keen senses. At the Arena, Alex has used his fishing rod to lift a flagstone to stop Budo's spinning. During his Ninja training, Alex gains access to a variety of tools, such as kunai, smoke bombs and black powder bombs. Later on, Alex can also use the blowgun to poison his enemies, and outside of combat, he can use the grappling hook to navigate across impassable terrain. Alex may also gain the ability to use certain special attacks through the completion of side quests and Mythic Tales. In part 2, through his martial arts training, he has become an expert on all melee weapons. Alex has displayed exceptional sword fighting capability and proficiency with knives, sticks and various other weapons. He practices during his combat sessions to keep his skills intact, but he prefers unarmed combat. He is an exceptional swordsman as evident in his fight with Rook, his proficiency in Jui-Jitsu can proclaim his swordsmanship skill. Proficient with most melee weapons because of his mastery of Okinawan Kobudo. He was trained and became extremely proficient in all arms. He soon learned expanded melee weapon techniques and he has learned expanded weapon/device sciences. He still practices during his combat sessions to keep his skills intact, though he prefers unarmed combat. Also he can use other things which combined with his alien’s strength, speed and senses can become lethal weapon even something as simple as rubber band can be thrown with enough force to fully penetrate through a mutant whose body was ten times stronger than steel. He has completely mastered all weapon based martial arts including but not limited to Arnis, Bōjutsu, Canne de combat, Fencing, Gatka, Gungsul, Geom sul, Hanbōjutsu, Iaidō and iaijutsu, Jōjutsu, Kendo and jūkendō, Kobudō, Krabi-krabong, Kyūdō, Mau rākau, Naginatajutsu, Nunchaku-do, Shintaido, Silambam, Siljun Dobup, Singlestick, Sōjutsu, Tahtib, Taiho jutsu, Tessenjutsu, Zulu stick-fighting, Bataireacht, Quarterstaff Fighting, Historical European martial arts, and many more.

As an authority on modern warfare, Alex is a recipient of multi-disciplinary military knowledge from the United States Armed Forces. Thanks to this and continued training, Alex is a master of many weapons, favoring daggers and long-range shooting weapons. Due to his training with various army veterans and sharpshooters, Alex can shoot various types of firearms such as Anti-infantry mines, Anti-tank rifles, Assault rifles, Autocannons, Battle Rifles, Bolt Action Rifles, Bow and Arrows, Carbines, Chemical weapons, Designated Marksman Rifle, Explosives, Flamethrowers, Grenade Launchers, Grenades, Handguns, Heavy Machine Guns, Lever-Action Repeaters, Light Machine Guns, Machine Gun, Personal defense weapon, Pistols, Revolvers, Rifles, Semi-Automatic Rifles, Shotguns, Sidearms, Single-Shot, Sniper Rifles, Submachine guns, Automatic rifles, Heavy Weapon, Hybrid Weapons, Launcher, Machine Pistol, Tactical Rifles, Marksman Rifles, Scoped Rifles, and many more. His ever-changing arsenal of weaponry includes various automatic and semiautomatic rifles, and an array of handguns, fragmentation and tear gas grenades, other explosives, and combat knives. A personal favorite is his ballistic knife, which can launch its blade with lethal force. He commonly uses M16 .223 caliber automatic rifles, Sterling Mark 6 9 mm, semi-automatic rifles, 9 mm Browning Llama automatic pistols, .45 caliber automatic frame re-chambered for 9 mm ammunition, .223 caliber Derringers, and Gerber Mark 2 combat knives. As a result of his naturally perfect athletic gift for hand-eye coordination, Alex can quickly learn how to wield most weapons even if he's never seen them before. Aside from throwing projectiles, he has used the following items: knives, whips, shurikens, darts, sais, a saber, nunchukas, the specialized weapons of others such as a bat-shaped edged weapon and a Billy club. He has also used projectile weapons such as assorted handguns (thrown or fired), a rocket launcher, a shotgun, sniper rifle, and a cartridge-gun that held various types of ammunition such as a pronged harpoon and a sonic-beam-generating cartridge. Occasionally, he has used cable guns for swinging to safety. He has also carried explosive devices such as grenades and plastic-explosive charges in the compartments of his gloves. Common items he has turned into weapons include an apple, ashtray, bolts, books, bricks, CDs, change, a coffeepot, cross, flashlight, food trays, forks, garbage, glass shards, golf balls, hairbrushes, a hubcap, lamp, lid, menu, microphone/boom, paper airplanes, paper clips, pencils, pens, a pill, pipes, playing cards, a plastic baby, potted plant, purse strap, rope, rosary beads, rosin-filled bag, scalpel, shovel, straw, syringe, toothpick, ten pins, vases, and his own teeth. He is even shown to wield weapons he has no experience in, shown when he disarmed Fazlatt Of Strept and killed him with his own hidden blade and hidden gun. During his time with the Plumbers, he learned to use various galactic weapons such as Melee Weapons, Pistols, Submachine Guns and Personal Defense Weapons, Assault Rifles, Battle Rifles, and Carbines, Shotguns, Sniper Rifles and Designated Marksman Weapons, Anti-Vehicle Weapons, Machine Guns, Machine Pistol, Flamethrowers, Grenade Launchers and Anti-Titan Weapons, Ordnance, Explosives and Grenades, Heavy Pistols, Heavy Weapons, Repeater Pistols, Eridian weapons, Marksman Rifle, Scout Rifles, Pulse Rifles, Auto Rifles, Hand Cannons, Sidearms, Bows, Trace Rifles, Shotguns, Fusion Rifles, Fusion Rifles, Linear Fusion Rifles, Autocannon, Rocket Launchers, Swords, Machine Guns, Heavy Machine Guns, Light Machine Guns, Titan Weapons, Blaster Pistols, Blaster Rifles, Commando Pistols, Bolt Caster, Heavy Blasters, Targeting Rifles, Pipe weapons, Energy weapons, Energy Pistols, Energy Rifles, Energy heavy weapons, Laser, Plasma, Radiation weapons, Gamma, Poison weapons, Hammers, Katanas, Knives, Long Blades, One-Handed Clubs, Two-Handed Clubs and many more.

**Blade Weapons Training**: Alex has extensive knowledge of blade weapons Down and Doubt 00-0, Kumakatok HC4, and Thorn. from his years of training in various martial arts disciplines as well as his military training. He tends to carry with him up to 3 or 4 different types of edged-weapons, preferring the knife he learned to fight with in the USMC: the Ka-bar.

**Master stick-fighter**: After months of training with Zaheem, Alex learned to spar head-on against the latter using escrima sticks. He would continue to train with escrima sticks to keep his skills sharp, at one point even defeating Lura, Sean and Joe all at once. He also employs his bow as a makeshift blunt weapon to use against his enemies. He is similarly skilled with a bo-staff, as he easily defeated three of Xavier crow men and fought on par against Gwen while sparring. Alex is skilled in multiple stick-based martial arts, having trained his students and children to use bo-staffs.

**Master swordsman**: In part 1, Alex is a highly capable swordsman, with his katana being a primary weapon for him in combat besides his Omnitrix. Alex begins using a sword due training with one since he was a child, wielding it just as skillfully in either hand and compete against more experience swordsmen. He can cut down multiple opponents in short periods of time. He uses it defensively as well, blocking incoming projectiles. Alex is seen to have impressive swordsmanship. As he was able to nearly surpass Delsin with a wooden sword, he has the ability to combine his martial arts to improve his swordsmanship. In part 2, having been trained by the best made Alex highly proficient in swordsmanship. He retained enough skill to briefly duel Hugo's himself, impressing him for lasting longer than most of his opponents and managed to deflect some of Hugo's slashes before being defeated. Later, after training for three weeks under Sussi, He greatly improved his skill; he was able to swiftly subdue Derick and Malcolm in his duels with them, fairly quickly outmatch and disarm Martin and was even able to compete against Hugo's for an extended period of time in a sword fight before getting disarmed. He uses his skill often to cut down multiple opponents in a short period of time. He uses it defensively as well, blocking incoming attacks or holding off skilled swordsmen; Alex has an unusual fighting stance that involves holding his right sword backhanded with the blade facing out and being behind him instead of in front of him. By doing this, the blades cut in a "circle" around him, and give him the ability to utilize spinning and other rotating attacks, allowing him to maintain incredible speed and agility while fighting. At the same time, this helps him keep his energy up without wasting stamina and strength needlessly, enabling him to fight for longer periods of time and take multiple targets out simultaneously. Alex's style relies primarily on swiftness and precision in his strikes, balancing with strong defensive stances that parry his opponent's strikes until finding an opening for a decisive blow. Very few opponents have been demonstrated to be a match for his swordsmanship. His trademark technique is the Tremendous Horse Cut, which he jumps into the air and slashes the opponent with tremendous force during his fall to break their defense or destroy their armor. Alex is shown to use one of the alien creatures' severed appendage as a makeshift sword to kill a number of creatures. Alex is the perfect specimen of classical fencing using slashing and, mostly, thrusting. His quarts and sixtes, catching the opponent's blade, are text book perfect which translates extremely well into his preparation and anticipation. His confidence is displayed in the lack of grandeur in his every attack. His finishes could be as subtle as just an advance and extending the arm right into his opponent's face. He also uses the hidden blade the same way when utilized with his sword. His stance, though, is something that some might disagree on. While his shoulders are a lot more relaxed, it leaves him pretty open and is basically a feint in and of itself, begging for an attack for Alex to promptly parry and then counter. Perfect footwork, anticipation, preparation and technique make Alex one of the best pure swordsmen. Alex can also enter four Stances: Stone, Water, Wind, and Moon. Each one allows him to fight more effectively against one type of enemy, and Alex can change stances during combat to help him counter against certain enemies. Later on, Alex gains access to the Ghost Stance. Alex uses orthodox Kenjutsu moves. Alex seems to rely on technical skill, on which he is extremely proficient. Alex is easily one of the most accomplished swordsmen in the world as he has survived crossing swords with various foes. He is also shown to have an advanced growth rate. While struggling to keep up with Sarah, by the time he faced Kiryu, Alex could perceive the legendary foe's every move and launch a counterattack, openly being applauded by Kiryu who has very high standards. Ultimately, Kiryu acknowledged Alex as a worthy opponent nearly at his level. Although many of these battles have ended on an inconclusive note, his ability to survive the encounters with these individuals is a testament to his abilities. Although he seems incapable of picking up skills, he often learns about an opponent's philosophy in order to determine their strengths and weaknesses. Alternatively, Alex's reluctance to accept taking on new fighting styles may be related to the purist attitude Alex goes about with his own fighting style, as indicated during the title cards. He readily copies his opponent's fighting styles and moves into his repertoire. Therefore, it could be argued that his clinical approach leaves very little margin for errors in observation and anticipation, making his fighting style a very notable foil against any who faces him. The Mujushin kenjutsu has been characterized as the "purest and most ethereal art of the sword. While the Mujushin Ryu itself was short lived, its philosophy was revered by disciples of the way of the sword. Alex's highly unorthodox swordplay and a fighting style based on breakdancing - dubbed "champuru kendo"and ostensibly developed by himself - taking bits and pieces from all forms of martial arts and making up the rest on-the-go as he fights his opponents, make him generally unpredictable in a fight and a force to be reckoned with. Alex's fighting style is unpredictable, which makes it harder for opponents to counter. Kiryu praises this, however he notes that Alex's skill level is lacking as a result. However, Alex has a knack of learning things very quickly, once he sees his opponent doing a move he will try to incorporate it to his fighting style. Alex is a prodigy at fighting, easily learning how to use ki to kill Ryu and impressing Sarah in his second fight. He is widely renowned as a master of Iai — a style of swordsmanship which involves the user rapidly unsheathing his blade to slash the enemies, and then re-sheathing it after completing the attack. Alex's mastery of Iai is such that Batman and others have stated how it was useless to try and reload weapons against him, due to the fact that Alex is capable of closing the distance and attacking within the short time it takes to make the necessary movements. The speed and precision of his strikes are able to inflict a lethal blow on his opponent without staining the blade with blood, and even slice open the head of a large summon creature such as a monster. Due to his extensive knowledge of swordplay, Alex can judge the weaponry skill of his opponents, telling how potent or diminished the opponent's skills are, after a single clash. Using the Omnitrix, he is also capable of channelling his Aliens power through his sword to increase its cutting power or send a wave of fire or other energy with a swift swing of his sword as a powerful long-range attack. His precision was even able to cut off a lit candle's wick and keep it lit on the edge of one of his swords, stop his attacks at a moment's notice, produce shock-waves from his strikes to intercept enemy attacks and channel electricity as Feedback through his blade by use of a battery to defend against Earth Release users. Aside from his Omnitrix, Alex also developed a masterful skill in swordsmanship, and he specialized in dual wielding swordplay, using a set of dual vibro swords, skills he gained after being trained by both families and expanded on his travels around the world. He would use these skills as his primary tactics whenever he was in his Outlaw disguise, unable to use the Omnitrix, or when he needed to fight but also needed to conceal his Omnitrix. He was able to defeat multiple foes using only his swords, including experienced firebending soldiers. He also dueled evenly with Heli and his dual hook swords until the fight was broken up by the Guards Alex was able to defeat several Earthbending soldiers with minimal effort by employing his swordsmanship skills in combination with unarmed combat and, in the same confrontation, demonstrated the ability to combine his sword skills with his Omnitrix, allowing him to deliver more powerful and destructive attacks. His skill was such that his opponent, Ozai Uchiha, opted not to face him during an eclipse when neither of them could fight. He also defeated Boro, a very proficient swordsman in his own right and a fellow student of Xiao, with ease in multiple sparring matches. Alex was a master swordsman who incorporated techniques of assassins, warriors, and artisans into his swordsmanship; though he doesn't use his sword compared to his Omnitrix, he was still considered the greatest swordsman in history, and one of the most powerful and skilled muggles in the world. His prowess was best renowned from having never lost a single battle and defeating a hundred non-muggles soldiers so decisively that he was left in peace afterward. He was incredibly swift and agile; when testing Rikamaru, he was fast enough to move in front of Rikamaru before the latter realized it. He had an acute sense of hearing; while temporarily blinded, he was able to ascertain Rikamaru's position by hearing him step on a twig, subsequently disarming the young swordsman, and was also able to catch a thrown sheath perfectly on his sword. He was also very aware of his surroundings, able to remember the layout and his current location to better handle the situation at hand. During the battle of Negav, he disabled several soldiers with the aid of Pakku. Though Alex used knives and throwing darts on occasion, his primary weapons of choice were a set of twin dark sabers. He possessed masterful skill with his dark sabers, able to defeat a master jedi, duel evenly with a master swordsman of Jin's caliber, and hold his own against and overwhelm multiple opponents. Alex was just as capable of fighting with a single hook sword as he was using two, as well as using them separately or while linked. Wishing to contribute more to his team in combat, Alex decided to learn the art of swordsmanship, wielding a Jian sword. Under the tutelage of the Uchiha swordmaster Piandao, Alex underwent various activities, including sparring matches with the butler Fat to hone his swordwielding skills and arts such as painting, calligraphy, and rock gardening to sharpen his mind. Eventually, when instructed to make his own sword, he used fragments of a meteorite that fell the night before to collect the metal needed to forge his blade. Alex's sword, like his master's, was patterned on a Qing Dynasty jian but had the properties of the alien material used for its creation, making it unique. The blade retained an unusual all-black appearance and was able to slice through the toughest materials, such as steel. Although Alex proved unable to defeat his master in a duel, Piandao stated that Alex possessed the traits that one day could make him an even greater swordsman than he was. During the passing of the Comet, Alex was once again able to prove his proficient skills in fighting. Even after surviving a deadly explosion and holding onto Chun, who was about to fall to her death, he managed to take out two Plumber commandos that were about to finish him off. He defeated them by drawing a boomerang and throwing it at the first Soldier, knocking him out, and proceeding to kick his sword into the air, catching it and throwing it to slice through the platform on which the other Plumber Trooper was standing. However, he lost both items in the process. By adulthood, Alex becomes skilled enough to instantly switch between wielding his sword backhanded and normally even during a clash.

**Master knife-wielder/Knife thrower**: Alex is highly skilled at using a knife in combat. This is best demonstrated during his first fight with Delsin where kept him on the defensive back foot with a series of quick slashes and stabs. Alex is extremely deadly with knives, able to kill a man with a single stab. He was seen skillfully practicing kali knife-fighting techniques with Lao, and managed to hold Gwen at knife-point fairly quickly, as well as disarm Sanchez of his own knife. Alex is lethally proficient with knives in long-range combat and can utilize his arrows as improvised knives to incapacitate his enemy; for example, he threw an off-balance kitchen knife from 10 feet away to disarm White of her dagger as he tried to stab Ben. He is even transferable to flechettes, which he can throw with similarly-excellent precision; he killed Benny by throwing a flechette into the latter's chest while dodging bullets and deflected an arrow shot by Tanya at Angel by throwing a flechette to cut her projectile in half. Through his training with a former US Marine Veteran, he is highly skilled in the use of knives and other melee weapons. In the fight with Cassandra on the train, he engaged her in a prolonged knife fight. He was also shown to be proficient in the use of swords during his fight against negative. He is also skilled in the usage of bladed weapons, usually tipping them with powerful poisons, drugs, and tranquilizers. Alex is trained with a variety of different ninja tools. When he was a child, he once used (inexpertly) a bow and arrow to hunt a boar with his father, practice that later becomes useful for his Proto-tool. His area of expertise is in shurikenjutsu, allowing him to throw shuriken and kunai with precision; for complicated or moving targets, Alex can guide shuriken to their mark using either wire strings or deflecting them off each other. In addition to remarkable natural speed and coordination for rapid usage, he also employs projectile storage for even faster performance: by storing shuriken and kunai into his arm bracelets, Alex has a large supply ready, allowing him to barrage targets in an instant. He also had some experience with knives, being able to pierce a small object, like a horn, from a distance.

**Chain Manipulation**: Alex could manipulate the Blades of Chaos and Blades of Athena with great precision and proficiency to devastatingly assault his foes over any distances and at high speed, use them as a means to swing over chasms and also use them as a restraint on his foes. With the Blades of Chaos, he killed numerous foes. Alex is skilled at using a chain in combat, mainly using it for long range attacks. He attempted to cut Deathstroke with a kyoketsu-shoge, but the latter was wearing protective armor. He was able to use a bare chain to fight against Spartan, successfully disarming and strangling him until he passed out. He also use it to defeat dozens of the members of the Elven Mafia while they were all armed, smashing out the ceiling lights to force the Mobsters to fight in the darkness, and also being able to use it to disarm their weapons and strangle them to knock them out. Alex was extremely skilled at using Kyoketsu-Shoge in combat. During their first encounter, Alex managed to use the weapon to stab a Mandalorian Bounty Hunter in his side, back, and stomach, dragging him across the ground and causing near fatal injuries to him that left deep scars in his body. Alex continued to use this weapon in his future battles against the Empire, including the Rescue in Naboo and the Attack on the Base.

**Spear Mastery**: During Alex's time as a general of the Revolutionary Army, Alex starts using a spear and large round shield called the Arms of Sparta. His experience with those weapons was such that he could use them on both long-range and close-range likewise and even a shield in both defensive and offensive matters. With the Spear of Destiny, he killed a Isolon Fist soldier. Alex is a highly skilled spearman, being extremely proficient at using a spear which can be split into two, becoming short spears which he dual wields. Alex is wielding his spear with one hand and is such a natural at it, that a Spartan felt as though as if he's fighting an archer. Alex's technique of using his spear emphasizes on range and agility. He can can mutilate body parts with his spear and is also able to throw his spear accurately, impaling someone's neck. When using his "final" attack Beehive Thrust, Alex thrusts his spear multiple times at the opponent in rapid speed, further showing his spearmanship skills.

**Staff Mastery**: Alex is highly skilled at using a staff or batons in combat, being able to effectively use a bamboo staff to disarm and fight against Lang's men with ease. Even when the staff was broken into half, he was able to use it as batons to fight against them. Thanks to his early training with monks, Alex is extremely skilled at using staves and similar melee weapons in combat. The billy club that he created maximizes this skill by being able to easily change between different combinations of weapons, such as two batons or nunchaku. Alex was extremely skilled at using a staff or batons in combat. He was able to use a riot staff to battle a group of Stormtroopers, killing several of them simultaneously. During the Battle of Wakanda, he was able to use a his mother's batons to fight evenly against Claire with the help of Cassandra, using it to defend and attack simultaneously. Alex is highly skilled at using a staff or batons in combat, being able to effectively use a bamboo staff to disarm and fight against the prison guards with ease. Even when the staff was broken into half, he was able to use it as batons to fight against them.

**Trident mastery**: Alex is extremely skilled in battling with a trident, using one to defeat hordes of Parademons and face-off against Steppenwolf wielding his axe and later on when fighting Orm to buy time for Aqualad, holding his ground against both opponents despite ultimately losing and besting his opponent in their final duel. As apart of his training, Alex can employ a rare combat move, performing a rapidly-spinning with his trident so fiercely that it became a blur, which upon doing so will repel all attacks attempting to penetrate this trident defense.

**Polearm weapon mastery**: Alex most likely tutored his children and students in the use of the trident and basic lancer skills. Having been apt enough to utilize his polearm with such efficiency and coordination that he could perform powerful offensive/defensive battle technique while training his heirs. All while using his polearm techniques in conjunction with his Omnitrix as he taught Noctis in his youth.

**Axe Mastery**: Alex is extremely skilled in wielding an axe in combat. He has used the Leviathan Axe with devastating proficiency against numerous foes, slain countless monsters with it, and even managed to kill the Demi-god outsider using that axe.

**Hammer Mastery**: Alex is highly skilled in using a hammer for combat. During his battle against Ishikawa with the help from Team Omni, he has displayed outstanding skill with the mighty Asgardian war hammer Mjølnir, after he had been found worthy of wielding it, being able to briefly overtake Ishikawa, landing several vicious blows, and easily take down many of her creatures with it. He was also able to throw it with extreme accuracy, being able to accurately hit Kryie's Yamato after having previously thrown it to the air to generate a shockwave to stun Ishikawa.

**Expert Whip Specialist**: Alex is a very skilled whip-user, making him a specialist when it comes to whips. He has shown to be skilled enough to use it as a grappling hook, a rope and is skilled enough to grab his opponents, wrapping them with it and restricting them at the same time. Alex can make it long enough to wrap up to twelve people at once. His mastery over this weapon can be easily be seen when Alex used the whip itself to deflect numerous arrows coming from multiple directions, as well as when he broke a sword's blade with tremendous force in just one blow. In addition, when the whip is in its light stance, Alex is able to perform a light show, swirling, twisting and cracking his whip to produce a variety of light-based effects. With all of this being said, Alex can employ whips as an effective weapon at short-to-mid range.

**Lasso mastery**: Alex is considerably efficient in mastering a magical lasso, as demonstrated when he was able to use it to subdue and defeat Kory Anders. He also demonstrated that he could use her lasso in close range combat, as demonstrated during his fight with Slade Wilson where he was able to disarm him of his sword.

**Scythe Handling Skills**: Alex is known to be an extremely skilled scythe-meister and normally employs a Scythe as his main weapon of choice when using a scythe. He's very adept at handling a scythe enough to spin and twirl a scythe weapon with ease.

**Master Boomerangmanship**: Alex's training as an Assassin had made him well versed in several combat disciplines, but where he comes truly dangerous, however, is his lethal mastery over an oversized boomerang. Wielding giant boomerang not only requires great strength and endurance, but also delicate dexterity and precision; Alex is able to hit moving targets with the giant boomerang with incredible accuracy, even in multiples, rarely missing a shot. Regardless if he does miss however, giant boomerang's nature as a boomerang allows itself to strategically revert its direction and hit the opponent's back without them suspecting. He can also use the giant boomerang as a melee weapon or even a defensive shield taking the advantage of unique demonic properties to combat against more stronger foes in combat.

**Master Shield Fighter**: His years of training and experience with a unique shield, as well as its physical properties, allowing him to accomplish amazing feats with the item. Aside from bashing foes and blocking incoming attacks, he is able to throw it with nearly perfect aim, being able to estimate its hit and rebound down to millimeter. He can hit multiple targets with the same throw by means of ricochet, and could even achieve a boomerang-like return effect, allowing him to strike enemies from behind or retrieve the shield without objects to ricochet from. He is able to throw it with near perfect aim, striking multiple targets in a single throw, and achieving a ricochet return after throwing it at a person or object. Alex can hit multiple targets with the same throw by means of ricochet, and could even achieve a boomerang-like return effect, allowing him to strike enemies from behind or retrieve the shield without objects to ricochet from. Additionally, he can perform combination techniques with his allies, such as allowing Kryie to strike his shield to create a directed shockwave to knock kree soldiers away. He is also extremely skilled in using it in close combat to bash aside foes and block incoming attacks, even from extremely skilled weapon masters such as Hippolyta with her hammer and even Kryie using her sword. Alex is well skilled in wielding his late father's near-indestructible shield. While it can be a source of defense, Alex also incorporates his shield as a blunt weapon to bash opponents with. Such is the strength and skill with which he wields it, that Alex can cripple even highly durable foes with his shield, having used it to shatter a Space Marine's Skull. Even Vilgax, the most powerful villains in all of existence, was shown to be stunned briefly when he was struck with the shield and Alex's strength.

**Dual Wield**: Due to being ambidextrous, Alex's fighting style emphasizes speed combined with the dual-wielding of two knives, one of which was formerly owned by his mother. By targeting his opponents' weak points and taking advantage of his speed, he could typically finish off an opponent swiftly while avoiding their attacks.

**Lightsaber Combat**: Alex's first lightsaber training consisted of a simple tutorial on the basics from the Plumbers Academy, before Kahless began fighting him in brutal sparring matches, with the goal of encouraging his apprentice to develop his own methods. He frequently trained with his master, as well as engaged in many vicious duels with his training droid, PROXY, and won every time. An incredibly skilled lightsaber duelist, Alex was able to defeat droid training programs by replicating some legendary duelists such as Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Maul. Alex was able to defeat Shan Hamne, Daymet Bitee, and Blin Vonden, and even managed to overwhelm Shaak Ti and his former teacher Darth Vader, who were two of the greatest duelists of their time. However, against both of them, he had to use the Omnitrix to gain the advantage and win, and if it hadn't been for that, he would have been defeated and killed. He was also capable of fighting on par with Darth Sidious himself, arguably the greatest Sith swordmaster of all time and a duelist nearly equal to Grandmaster Yoda, in lightsaber combat, though he only won with the Force. Alex was versed enough with all seven forms of lightsaber combat to quickly recognize them in his opponent's style and technique and use their weaknesses to his advantage. He particularly specialized in Form VII/Juyo, Form V/Shien, and Form III/Soresu. He also had decent skills in Form VI/Niman, showing great skill in combining Force attacks with his combat style, as well as Form IV/Ataru, applying aspects of the Form into his combat style. His application of Juyo was highly focused and aggressive, his style being randomized and unpredictable, laced with sudden Force-based attacks in the midst of complex lightsaber sequences. His focus and concentration allowed him to bring down opponents through sheer tenacity, though it also led him to ignore his surroundings and left him open to attacks from other directions. Whenever he was forced to go on the defensive, he would fall back on his Soresu practice. Marek's use of Form III was largely self-taught, his abilities acquired through imitation of PROXY's Obi-Wan Kenobi combat module. Despite his lack of formal training, Alex's progress in Soresu was outstanding. One notable application of his impromptu use of Form III was during his duel with Druna Gravanc, where Alex's ability allowed him to hold off Gravanc's Juyo frenzy long enough to take out the Sith. He also employed this technique effectively during his duel with Claire Macgrath, precisely blocking his overconfident opponent's ferocious but considerably well-executed attacks to wear Claire down and then quickly counterattack, however it should be noted that Alex had to turn and dance around his sister, as Claire used lethal attacks, which would have only needed a small breach to kill him, which would have broken through his defenses, and he was about to lose when her Dun moch attempt failed, causing Claire to redouble her attacks. that would had overwhelm him, had it not been for his use of the Omnitrix. which broke Claire's momentum, and due to the weight of his armor and exhaustion, she ended up losing to her older brother. Alex also proved capable of holding his own against other highly aggressive duelists such as Vero Grenko and Kuna Tillie, ultimately allowing him to defeat them. Alex was also highly skilled in the use of Shien, heavily favoring the unorthodox reversed grip of the form. He practiced a variant of the style known as "Sith Shien," a fighting method that relied on sudden and rapid attacks to bring down an opponent quickly. Alex was adept at Dun Möch, the Sith art that used psychological warfare to cause enemies to lose focus, as shown by how quickly he was able to get Claire to be blind with rage via taunts. In adulthood, Alex had achieved full mastery and knowledge of them all and all of their stances and techniques.

**Vertical Maneuvering Equipment**: While he was still training, Indra even noted that Alex's performance is exemplary in every subject and that he is truly a genius. Having a prodigious skill in vertical maneuvering equipment, he can use blades to easily strike and slash Titans with speed and efficiency. This has led to him being mentioned as a military genius many times and "as valuable as a hundred average soldiers." His mastery and remarkable will allows him to display a lethal force against Titans rarely seen among soldiers, recruits or veterans alike. This has been proven true when he took on Maya in her Titan form, who had killed numerous experienced veterans with ease before, and survived. Alex is unbelievably adept at using the vertical maneuvering equipment, to a point that everyone says he is the best at it; even after losing several of his fingers, Alex was still able to utilize the equipment almost as easily as before. He is also said to be as valuable as an entire brigade, far outweighing all of the other soldiers. Furthermore, he was considered extremely strong even before joining the Survey Corps. He has shown the capability of incapacitating the Female Titan by moving too fast for her to defend, something which whole squads and even Ben in his Titan form could not accomplish. He even defeated Cody in his Beast Titan form, who is one of the army's strongest Warriors and an extremely skillful Titan. Neither of these assaults are without some degree of prior planning and situational advantage, as the Female Titan was tired out from multiple conflicts in the span of a few hours, and Alex had engaged Cody by surprise, getting too close to defend against before Cody noticed. That said, Alex's full abilities with his blades are still tremendous, able to carve the Beast Titan's arm into multiple clean pieces so fast they fell in unison. Nonetheless, Alex has proven himself capable of taking on powerful possessors of the power of the Titans in a one-on-one situation where his vertical maneuvering equipment can be utilized to its utmost. For example, as seen when Alex bested Cody again in a forest terrain where his vertical equipment could be properly employed.

**Stealth**: In part 1, As Alex was trained during childhood as an Assassin by the Nikolayevna family, he was proficient in basic reconnaissance skills, such as eavesdropping and pickpocketing, both of which he used in his first days at School. Alex is an expert of stealth, capable of disappearing and reappearing without anyone noticing. Alex was able to sneak into the Heilcarrier undetected to tell his mother that someone's skimming from the Argentina sector and then into an A.I.M hideout, only having to attack one of the guards. He was also able to plant a tracer on his older brother without him noticing. Alex is very proficient in hiding, spying, and infiltration. Yaroslava, who is renowned for her hearing, commented that she could hardly hear Alex's footsteps even when he was running alongside her. Alex tailed his mother and father around a town with the two of them failing to spot him (although they clearly sensed his presence). Alex managed to tail Deathstroke for a whole day without being detected. His aptitude at concealing his presence is an entirely natural skill, which was not achieved through any form of training, but rather his continuous being in contact with the wilderness. Unbeknownst to him, this feat was rendered possible by his unwitting use of his skill as well as by his intents being drowned out by Slade's own bloodlust. Thanks to his training, Alex has learned how to walk and run without making a sound. An assassination art and an advanced application of the Silent Gaits technique, Rhythm Echo is a motion that creates multiple afterimages of Alex's body through a varying cadence of steps to confuse the opponent or create decoys. In part 2, Alex trained under the greatest of the greats – the League of Assassins and The Hand, to learn the ancient art of Ninjutsu. Ninjutsu was once used by the Ninja Assassins of Ancient Japan to stealthily infiltrate high security installations and steal information or kill high value targets. Alex is considered by the League to be the greatest Ninjutsu user. His ability to stick to the shadows to go undetected even by machine scanners is unlike anything the world has ever seen. He goes almost invisible when he sticks to the shadows. His Ninjutsu training has made him a master at stealth and capable of breaching high security facilities without being detected. His advanced and extensive Ninjutsu and law enforcement training has made him a master at stealth, espionage, infiltration, and sabotage. Alex is capable of breaching very high-security facilities with ease and without being detected. Alex’s stealth prowess is so great that he's capable of effortlessly breaking into a top-secret base a mile under the Earth’s crust, infiltrate the President's White House in a short amount of time, breaking and entering into the Pentagon instantly, the maximum security Asylum, a prison planet facility, Clatus' and Bluejay’s supposedly impenetrable hideout, and even the infamous Area 51 and Area 0 completely unnoticed. He has proven to be very familiar with military protocols and codes, as he casually anticipated and countered law enforcement/paramilitary tactics and strategies. Alex has also learned how to pick various locks when he was in boarding school. He is capable of breaching very high-security facilities without being detected. He can even sneak up on Ben as Wildmutt on occasion. Alex is also skilled enough to even sneak away and keep hidden from Speedsters like Kid Flash.

He is able to silently assassinate people without making a sound. Alex can appear from place to place without being detected. He is very elusive. He can sneak in and out of most guarded buildings without being detected, follow his targets for long periods of time unnoticed, and quickly disappear from sight even in broad daylight. He is also skilled in using pyrotechnics to create various subtle explosions and smokescreens to mask his escape. Alternatively, he excels in sneaking into highly fortified areas, having effortlessly infiltrated the CIA and the Yakuza to meet with their respective heads, never setting off any alarms either time and just as seamlessly leavings unseen. He is also a master escape artist, able to free himself from various confinements, such as having been able to silently break his zip-cuffs whilst tied to a chair. He is extremely skilled at breaking into secure locations and escaping without being noticed and he is able to memorize complicated architectural layouts easily. He has mastered the art of stealth, being able to terminate multiple enemies in the same area one at a time and sneak up on almost anybody and quietly neutralize them. he also has an expert level understanding of the use of disguises in order to access unauthorized areas of a location. As the nature of his job relies on stealth and non-detection, he is highly adept at blending into shadows and moving silently. With an expertise in fieldcraft, he is able to sneak up on most opponents undetected and quickly subdue them using either lethal or non-lethal means. He relied on improvised techniques on top of the training he received during his time in Felarya. Biometrics data indicated that he's actually better at identifying targets while operating from concealment, which makes him a very dangerous threat to his opponents in dark environments. Even if the enemy thinks he's not targeting them directly, they may still be in the line of fire. He can vanish, flank his enemies and leave them shooting at the spot where they thought he was, right up until the moment he eliminates them. Although enemies are aware of his actual position, he always catches them off guard by making them rely on his last known, which gets them killed. Years and experience in training in the dark have also gained him the ability to see even better from the dark spots than from lit ones. Although light doesn't damage his eyes, he has the ability to adjust quickly to darkness and when his vision isn't enough, he resorts to his other senses, especially hearing. He is actually better at identifying targets while operating from concealment, which makes him a very dangerous threat to his opponents in dark environments. As he is generally outnumbered in combat scenarios, he relies on stealth, hit and run tactics and traps in order to get an advantage on those he faces. Despite not being formally trained, He is incredibly skilled at picking off entire squads of trained soldiers with little difficulty. He regularly hides in bushes, tree branches, and walls of vegetation. In addition to regular foliage, He applies himself in a layer of thick mud, with which he hides against muddy surfaces to hide. He practices hit-and-run tactics, leaping out of cover, surgically killing enemies, and hiding from them to instill panic. He is highly skilled in all forms of stealth. His foot steps make absolutely no sound or vibrational disturbance. He usually leaves no trace of himself behind, and it is rare after even cleaving bodies in half or decapitation that even a trace of DNA or the body is left on his sword due to the skill of his sword play. He practices hit-and-run tactics, leaping out of cover, surgically killing enemies, and hiding from them to instill panic. Alex is also very well versed in the use of all ninja weapons, stealth methods, silent movement, infiltration, concealment, escape & evasion, covert methods, ninja espionage, and ninja acrobatics. Under Evior's training, Alex learned and mastered Assassin Brotherhood's techniques, such as blending into crowds and killing a target in a crowded area without raising suspicion. Alex is capable of perfect stealth, striking from the shadows unseen, unheard, and vanishing without a trace. This has been expressed in his skill and experience when killing enemies. Alex has had training in ninjutsu, having been trained to stealthily blend in with his surroundings. His preferred style is to blend in with the light. He does this by simply reversing his kimono so that he is dressed in white, and tying white bandages around his face, hands, and feet, after which he employs his training. He is even able to blend even with little clothing to disguise himself with, as well as being able to blend in with the snow as his advantage to outmatch his opponents in combat, as demonstrated with the Pilots, Guardians, and Lancers in a snowy forest. Alex is stealthy and skilled in the art of infiltration, able to sneak into heavily defended fortresses and conceal himself effectively for long periods of time. His skills served him well while he was disguised as the Outlaw. To communicate with the Rebel Alliance without being overt, Alex was able to mimic a variety of bird calls and mere whistles for different meanings. He used this to give Doky the signal to destroy the dam and prepare the Freedom Fighters for battle. As a master thief Alex is highly adept in the arts of stealth and larceny. He is able to use the darkness to his advantage in order to avoid detection, becoming almost invisible to others. He is able to move silently through an environment, able to dart from shadow to shadow without making a sound. Highly proficient in stealth, he is able to silently infiltrate heavily guarded locations, utilizing various hiding spots including corners, tables, or rooftops. From a far distance, he is even able to utilize the shadows in order to avoid detection. He is also adept in eavesdropping and pickpocketing.

**Master Spy**: Alex is an expert in the field of espionage thanks largely to mentors such as Ross Jordan and Colonel Rex Oscar, his former partner, the United States military, British SAS regiment, and the Russian Government. He is skilled in stealth, demolitions, survival, deducing other persons ways of thinking and other fields. He is well adept in blending in his surroundings as well as sneaking around heavily guarded places. He would usually blend in dense crowd and mimic their activities. He is also extremely skilled in espionage, stealth, infiltration, disguises, thievery, and eavesdropping. Alex is extremely skilled in moving quietly and staying hidden. His agility helps him become hard to find as he clings on to wall corners to stay hidden and hides atop of things and strikes when necessary. Alex was a master of stealth. He was able to slow his heartbeat, even bypassing Wildmutt who has highly enhanced senses, ensuring that the attack was a surprise to the Vulpimancer when he arrived.

**Master Advanced Scout**: Alex is a very gifted scout and adept at stealth and concealment.

**Master Assassin**: Alex is an adept of his generation, possibly the most lethal assassin in the Universe rivaling others such as Deathstroke or Deadpool. During a mission with the Young Avengers and Teen Titans, Alex has from concealment thrown a 60 centimeters-long knife to penetrate the winter uniform outer garment of a soldier with such accuracy as to pierce his heart in high arctic winds several meters. Alex has mastered and implemented several methods to silently eliminate sentries with bladed weapons, garrotes or his bare hands, making him as lethal in his own way as his former Invader teammates, the Torches, Union Bobby or Hs0. He is a master at stealth and tracking and is very intelligent. He was able to render Ben in his Blitzwolfer form superhumanly acute senses such as smell completely useless by luring him to an abandoned warehouse that was completely soaked on the inside with oil and even soaking himself to make it so that Ben could not detect him. Alex has made a habit out of constantly studying his surroundings and depicting what he can and cannot do in whatever situation he should fall. During Alex's visit to the veteran exhibit that had been made to honor them after their deaths, he was constantly detecting potential ways to sneak in and out of the museum and the room without being detected and only taking out a small number of security to do so. The Black Tiger stated to Ben and his team that he was one of the most dangerous men she knew. He knows every pressure point and vulnerable spot on the human body and is able to turn virtually any object into a deadly weapon capable of incapacitating or killing an enemy. Alex is a deadly assassin often hired by the likes of the Black hand for covert assassinations. After training with Evior, Alex learned and developed a vast array of skills, such as picking pockets, blending into crowds, armed and unarmed combat, alternative or multiple weapon attacks, stealth and public assassination techniques, freerunning and long-range combat. His noncombat skills included climbing, urban acrobatics, eavesdropping, and interrogation. Alex has had training in ninjutsu, having been trained to blend in with his surroundings. His preferred style is to blend in with the dark. In Felarya, he is even able to blend even with little clothing to disguise himself with as well as being able to blend with the snow environment as his advantage to kill two Neko tribesmen who were chasing after him. At 15 years old, Alex has expressed great skill in the more advanced arts of Azuma-Ryu ninjutsu. Some of these include Hensojutsu (Chameleon Art), Taijutsu (Body Art), Kenjutsu (Sword Art), a minor example of Sojutsu (Spear Art), and Kyujutsu (Archery Art), but more recently, the Azuma Ninja Master has shown great skill in Suijutsu (Swimming Art) and Suirenjutsu (Water Survival Art). This is expressed when grabbing unaware enemies and pulling them underwater and drowning them, along with hiding underwater to avoid detection by the enemy. His mastery of Intonjutsu, (Escaping and Concealment Art) has been shown through the use of smoke bombs to mask his escape and silent entry. Able to sneak up on most, if not all enemies, and use Azuma style unarmed silent combat techniques to subdue them, in most cases lethal force. Although non-lethal force is taught as well within the Azuma Shinobi-Ryu, as seen through his students using non-lethal techniques. These unarmed combat techniques have shown Azuma Ninja Master, consistently removing the sword from enemy scabbards and performing stealth kills. Though not too much of his Azuma-taijutsu skills have been seen in great detail, some have seen some techniques in combination with his Azuma-jutaijutsu skills. Either way, Alex is truly a master in Azuma unarmed combat, and a visual representation of Ninjutsu. It is shown he possess many abilities that are frowned upon by law, including, but not limited to: lock picking, breaking into security systems, computer hacking, disguised conning, car jacking and gaining an 'advantageous purchase'. He is versed with how police, fire departments and various government agencies (FBI, CDC) typically operate and conduct investigations, and know how to both impersonate and evade them effectively. Most of these methods are used to gather information about the cases he is working on. He is also appear to be a proficient tracker and possess prudent tactical skills and an instinctive ability to "read" behavioral characteristics and manipulate people. In addition, he needs to be virtuosos of escape, evasion and silent movement, when the situation requires subtlety and stealth, such as surprise attacks. His training by a retired Master Assassin allowed him to easily snuff out all of his Assassin pursuers. As an Assassin Hunter, Alex was skilled enough to counter the Assassins’ signature moves, including air assassinations. Alex was notorious in the art of assassination, considered to be one of the most dangerous assassins in the world. He is very elusive, being able to assassinate multiple enemies in the same area one at a time and sneak up on almost anybody and quietly neutralize them.

**Marksmanship**: In part 1, Alex is an amazing marksman, almost comparable to his mother and brother. He uses his kunais and rarely misses his target, as seen when he disarmed an A.I.M guard of his pistol. He is also good with firearms. He managed to throw a police baton at Dante's head and knock him out, even while under the effects of his powers. Alex has impressive marksmanship and has demonstrated this ability when he shot Deathstroke point-blank in the head with a gun, albeit he did this in a false reality. While on the run, however, he displayed further proficiency with firearms when he took out several gangsters. He could even use guns in close-quarter fights, such as against Deathstroke. In part 2, Alex is an expert marksman. He is skilled with throwing projectile weapons, archery and firearms. He has been practicing such skills since the early days of his training and is almost on par with Elves in terms of accuracy. Due in part to his training in Ninjutsu, Alex almost never misses his targets, 9/10 times he's successful. Alex is a highly skilled expert marksman with throwing projectile weapons, archery and firearms when it comes to small, distant, moving or even invisible targets. He has been practicing such skills since the early days of his training and is almost on par with Elves in terms of accuracy and precision. He was shown to be able to flick a light switch on from a distance and hit a penny dropping in the air from a distance both done with a Shuriken. He is equally skilled with firearms, though he doesn't like offensive guns and prefers not to use them. Alex is also one of the world's top ten marksmen. He could even shoot the wings of a fly without killing it from a distance from his position during thick mist and strong winds. He can also make bullets ricochet off the other bullets or objects. He is often seen that he could throw most if not all projectile weaponry with great aim and was well versed in the use of firearms his masterful sharpshooter sniper. He was even able to snipe a target from 650 feet away. He is a sharpshooter and exceptional marksman with many types of firearms, often depicted as being ambidextrous and rarely missing his target. Trained as an elite sniper, he's skilled enough to hit a target from 4 km. He is skilled in knife throwing as well. Alex is an extremely accurate marksman and very skilled in sharpshooting and knife throwing. His perfect accuracy was shown when he shot twelve men at different locations at the same time. As a teenager, he was the best sniper in his division. Alex is said to "never miss." He once shot an apple off of Gwen's head with his eyes closed. He is able to intentionally graze the skull of a flying Harpy when asked to take her down non-lethally. Alex ability to throw any projectile with great unerring accuracy and deadliness borders on superhuman. His uncanny skill to use virtually any common object as a lethal projectile actually makes him more dangerous than many characters who do have superhuman powers. Although he is not technically superhuman, Alex can accomplish many feats with thrown projectiles that is at a degree of superhuman. He has demonstrated the ability to lacerate a person's throat with a thrown playing card, spit his own tooth through a human skull, toss a paper airplane to a distant rooftop, and kill a person with a toothpick thrown through a window from a hundred yards away. He is also a dangerous sharpshooter, and his accuracy when wielding an object, the size and mass of a baseball is about 100 feet and even can hurl such objects at around 105 miles per hour. He has remarkably precise aim and skill with various firearms. During his time in Russia, he also became an adept sniper, able to accurately shoot his moving targets from over a mile away. Alex has similar proficiency with regular firearms, as he successively shot down a group of criminals in Brazil. Alex is skilled in throwing modified Shuriken to hit thugs at a great distance with his eyes closed, despite occasionally giving them head-starts and even disarm others with his Shurikens. Alex is proficient in throwing objects. He has often thrown his escrima sticks to incapacitate his opponents. He has even done the same with the use of a gun. On one occasion Alex was able to make his escrima sticks ricochet 37 times before returning to him. He is very skilled with knives and able to throw them and other bladed weapons with expert precision and lethal force. He is able to throw many knives at assassins in a very short amount of time and hit them with each one and is even able to hit someone in the head with lethal force with a tomahawk thrown from across a long distance. He is a master in the usage of rifles, shotguns, and other firearms, training himself to be able to fully reload a rifle within seconds. He possesses the innate ability to throw any projectile with great unerring accuracy and deadliness that borders on the superhuman. He knows every pressure point and vulnerable spot on the human body and most large beasts, and is able to turn virtually any object into a deadly weapon capable of incapacitating or killing an enemy. He is ambidextrous, able to use and throw weapons with equal efficiency with either hand. He is able to hit Massacre even at far away distances, although he is not as successful at hitting either Blue blur or Speedy. He has even proven capable of hitting whitemoon, a feat once believed impossible. He has demonstrated shooting weapons out of his opponent's hand(s), shooting the saddle off of a beast being ridden without harming the animal or its rider, shooting moving objects in midair (such as firing holes through an entire handful of tossed coins or cutting an arrow into three pieces in mid-flight), disarm explosives by cutting the fuse, or pinpointing his shots to wound his enemies only slightly. He has little-to-no difficulty shooting moving targets, even if moving himself (such as when performing complex acrobatics, moving at superhuman speeds, or riding on the back of an animal). He was taught how to shoot by his father and refined his skills at his school's rifle club. He has shown remarkable skill with many different firearms, including pistols, shotguns, bolt and assault rifles, and automatic weapons. He can also use silencers, grenade launchers, and laser scopes. His father believes that Alex had received his sharp eye and steady hand from his mother, who was an sniper for Shield. He also throws objects, chickens, and containers with incredible accuracy. An expert marksman, Alex is skilled in the use of nearly any conventional weapon and is almost on par with the world’s best sharpshooters in terms of accuracy. A formidable gunfighter, Alex has an eye for marking and executing multiple targets simultaneously. Although rare, it is possible for him to miss a target. However, this isn't a superhuman characteristic but rather an ability that he acquired from his long years of training and practice same as his ability to aim and shoot with both hands even though he is predominantly right-handed.

**Master Archer**: In part 1, Alex is an impressive archer, able to hit assorted targets with assorted projectiles with ease and accuracy. He prefers using archery based weapons such as a compound bow or a crossbow. He has mastered the longbow, the shortbow, the crossbow and a myriad of trick arrows. He can also shoot 2-3 arrows at a time and have them all hit their mark simultaneously. His skills are such that he is able to hit targets inches in size meters away. In part 2, with Alex's mastery in archery, he can precisely shoot targets from great distances with such tight groping. He can shoot 6 bouncing tennis balls into a wall without missing in quick succession, shoot objects off of individuals without harming them, and retain his accuracy even whilst in rapid movement. He can also anticipate an enemy projectile to block an arrow and fire multiple arrows at once. Throughout his career as an archer, word quickly spread that He never missed. His proficiency with his bow is equally effective in close-combat, able to shift between melee fighting and shooting with ease. He is even able to shoot targets while driving vehicles and has demonstrated the ability to release three arrows simultaneously. He has trained himself to become a master archer specializing in the use of regular bows, longbows, compound bows, and crossbows with near-perfect accuracy. He is capable of firing multiple arrows at a single target in a few seconds, hitting multiple targets in a few quick strokes, and directly hit small targets in the greatest of distances. He has even been known to hit an apple in the center of it. He practices a minimum of two hours per day to keep his skills honed. First and foremost of his abilities is his prowess with a bow and arrow. He can use anything from the most simple bows and arrows to complicated composite bows and trick arrows with full efficiency. He has fought mages, ninjas and other opponents that normally couldn't be hurt with arrows, yet his skill allowed him to persevere. He is perhaps the finest archer ever known. He claims to be able to shoot 29 arrows per minute. He has a wide-variety of trick arrows, ranging from bola arrows to time-bomb arrows to his infamous boxing-glove arrow. In recent years he has used these arrows sparingly, preferring the time-tested simple arrow. He has shown the ability to shoot an arrow down the barrel of a gun, pierce a drop of water as it leaves a tap, and shoot almost any part of the human body; although he aims only to wound and not kill when he shoots. He once shot two arrows down two different gun barrels while upside down, in mid-flip while somersaulting off a building. He is known as the world's most skillful and accurate archer. His accuracy rival of none as he trained himself to make precise shots from virtually any angle, physical position, or state of motion. Alex was trained in his youth by Markie with throwing blades, balls, bolas, and boomerangs. He now has near-perfect precision with any aimed or thrown weapon. He can hurl objects with extreme speed and accuracy, both in direct aim and complicated rebounds/interactions. He once aimed five shots at the opponents simultaneously. He is also a very skilled archer, having taken it up during his school days, and continuing to practice during his training days by joining an archery club called the Brothers of Archery. He expanded his skill further after discovering codices detailing Byzantine archery techniques, he can rapidly fire up to three arrows within a few seconds or hit multiple targets simultaneously. The codex he uncovered on the ice ship in Rise details how Byzantines copied the tactics of archers from Asia Minor (Turkey), so the case could be made that Alex translated an early version of classical Turkish Archery. A skilled marksman, he wields a mechanical compound bow (of his own design) with great precision and accuracy; as such he possesses a wide aresenal of arrow types including Water, Rope, Fire , Choke, Blast, Broadhead, Sawtooth and Blunt types. These arrows allow him to harm foes or change the environment, such as snuffing torches out with water arrows or activating distant switches with blunt arrows.

**Firearms**: In part 1, he grew up around around firearms and having been trained by both of his parents, Alex has perfect aim when using firearms. In part 2, to increase his skill with firearms he went a step further on his journey around the world to learn from the masters how to kill a target with different types of firearms. Being taught by various former veterans and highly skill marksmen, it is safe to say that Alex knows his way around a variety of pistols, rifles, and shotguns as well as being able to precisely eliminate targets from a long distance (as seen in his raid on the Tarasov Safehouse). He is able to effortlessly blend his marksmanship with his hand to hand skills, being able to swiftly use grappling moves combined with precision shots to take on large groups of organized gunmen. He shot The Nurse just below her floating rib, avoiding her large intestine as well as accurately below her shoulder. Due to his extensive military training, Alex is an expert in handling all types of weapons. Also, with his exceptional precision, speed and reaction, he can eliminate many targets simultaneously without wasting a shot. He proved perfectly capable of handling sub-machine guns, assault and sniper rifles, as has however preferably pistols, which he uses a custom USG model of the Five-seveN pistol as his preferred weapon. Alex could handle handguns with his unique ability, using both in the physical attacks and shots, he often quickly disarms his enemies, and use their weapon while using their body as a human shield. His accuracy is unmatched with weapons while shooting he always targets specific parts of the body. In a gunfight, Alex used a more traditional shooting stance, the Weaver stance. Later on, he uses a modern shooting stance optimized for gunfighting at close range called the Center Axis Relock (CAR) system. The CAR system features a bladed stance (the shooter's weak-side shoulder facing the target), a close-to-body firearm hold, and sighted or non-sighted fire as the situation dictates. This differs from other shooting styles such as the Isosceles Stance which features a more squared stance (i.e. facing the target directly) with the pistol held far out in front of the face and some form of sighted fire. The CAR system is primarily intended for semi-automatic pistol shooting, although it can also be used with shotguns, assault and sniper rifles, sub-machine guns, Tasers and OC sprays.

**Explosives Mastery**: During his time in Russia, Alex was trained by Vladimir Knyazev in how to build electronic bombs and use common materials to create explosives. He holds intermediary skills with explosives, as he is seen using C4 explosives in numerous levels and quickly learns on his own how to effectively use grenades. Trained by a former MI6 agent and British Special Forces soldier, Alex is also adept with explosives. He entered the Royal Defence Medical Centre in London and created a sustainable amount of damage with explosives used to take out several police officers and hospital personnel. When fighting Zod, he used a military-grade explosive to destroy the upper levels of the DSS Los Angeles headquarters. He was also able to mail a packaged bomb from Tokyo to New York City that destroyed Kingpin's penthouse. During his time in Felarya, he also made use of bomb-crafting using materials made in Felarya after it had been introduced to him by Evlor.

**Super-Genius Level Intellect**: In part 1, Alex is highly intelligent for his age. Alex has inherited a genius IQ from his father. He states he is smarter than anyone teaching at any level of school. He was able to hack an A.I.M computer and drive his father's car. Alex has proven to be exceptionally intelligent on many occasions, displaying both keen observational and analytical skills as well as sharp intuition and resourcefulness. His grades are among the highest of his class, showing that his Omnitrix training rarely interferes with his studying. Alex's intelligence has probably been a more useful asset to him than the Prototype Omnitrix so far. Alex is a quick learner, which has helped him figure out most of the Prototype Omnitrix's mechanisms in a short span of time and work around its limitations. While some of his moves have been directly inspired by his training (if not, outright copied), the majority of Alex's moves and techniques were all conceived by him during sudden sparks of inspiration, proof of his creativity. He possesses genius-level intelligence and he is capable of perfectly memorizing anything. His school teachers remark that he easily maintained perfect grades. While investigating Alex, Batman also deduces that he had a reputation of being at the top of his class with perfect grades at the school he went to. Alex is prodigiously brilliant in whatever he studies and has a natural aptitude for attaining new talents; picking up complicated skills quickly and retaining them. Alex's intelligence far exceeds that of any boy his age and is exceptional also for adults. Alex holds expertise in numerous areas, both academic and physical. He is the second most technologically adept member of the family (after Delsin), and helps maintain the security and computer systems of the Macgrath Manor. He has impressive understanding of various sciences, like physics and chemistry, and is a skilled mechanic and engineer, building all of his own gadgets and equipment. He is a trained detective, with a keen eye and experience in forensics. He is an expert interrogator, and has a very logical mind; he is able to create plans and strategies to effectively take down his opponent. Alex is a master escapologist, marksman, pilot, thief and impersonator, having masqueraded as various identities for infiltration. He is knowledgeable about a wide variety of topics and is endowed with prodigious intuition and analytical skills. His deductive abilities have allowed him to make accurate predictions on multiple occasions. He can also bear severe mental strain and still think clearly. To match all of these impressive intellectual capacities, Alex is also an extremely quick thinker who can adapt to completely unforeseen developments. Although he normally relies on logic, sometimes to a fault, he is capable of creative thought, which allowed him to devise the basics of the Omnitrix in the heat of combat. He is also tremendously observant, and he believed he could notice the slightest change in the expression of two Spiders. His terrific intellect allows him to pick up on details that would ordinarily go unnoticed on a subconscious level, which results in him feeling a sense of unease towards a certain course of action before realizing why. Alex has often astounded allies and opponents alike with his astounding ability to think outside the box, finding a new perspective with which to look at a problem to solve it. He demonstrated this ability twice during the Third Phase of the Exam, blowing out Seriko's candle instead of looking after his own, and choosing the long path to the goal only to break down the wall separating it from the short one, sidestepping Limbo's forced choice. Instead of fighting Sam, he applied his knowledge of ostomy to find an alternative way of escaping. He was also the one who suggested Delsin and he auction off items to raise a profit before attending the auction themselves as buyers, and later that they seek to be hired by a crime lord instead of purchasing an Island. He also has a good memory, which allowed him to win the quiz to obtain "Ruler's Blessing". He is also fairly intuitive and, when fully focused, has occasionally shown the ability to think faster than the likes of Kevin and Ben through cutting out everything that is not relevant. Because of this, he was appointed heir of both families after the death of Delsin. He outsmarted minds of Batman's level with carefully planned strategies, and his predictions have rarely turned out to be wrong. He also has an immense deal of knowledge about many topics, ranging from psychology to other cultures, from history to forensic, a quality that surprised his peers when he was only a child. Due to his longing for new notions, he is a fast learner with an impressive memory. Alex's analytical skills are so outstanding they have led to the spreading of the rumor, among the league of assassins, that he is able to read minds. When searching for Alma on the bodyguard registration, he used the vaguest of clues to choose whom he felt to be a criminal, something praised by Delsin. This is noted by Bruce Wayne, when praising Alex's knowledge of law and economics, and by Nick Fury, who notes that none could surpass Alex in anything. He is multilingual; in addition to the Latin he rapidly learns and masters while volunteering as one of Schuwald's readers, at eleven years of age, Alex is also able to become perfectly fluent in both Spanish and French within a one-month period. At the age of only fifteen, he starts and presides over an underground stock market, a feat requiring perfect intuition and flawless intuitive understanding of mathematics, economics, trade, business, politics, management, and leadership. Schuwald's conclusion is further proof of Alex's vast understanding of economics: he decides that if anything is to happen to him, Alex will take over his place as opposed to Neuman, his own son. In part 2, Alex's intelligence surpassed that of a teenage boy in his years. He is a polymath capable of mastering 20 degrees in little time. Possesses a photographic memory. He can develop all sorts of weapons and gadgets, which range from his Tactical Proto-tech armor, to viruses capable of taking powers away from metahumans and other superpowered beings. His detective skills are completely unmatched, and he can beat most foes just by outsmarting them. He is knowledgeable about a wide variety of topics, endowed with prodigious intuition and analytical skills. He can also bear severe mental strain and still think clearly. To match all of these impressive intellectual capacities, Alex is also an extremely quick thinker who can adapt to completely unforeseen developments. Although he normally relies on logic, sometimes to a fault, he is capable of creative thought, which allowed him to devise the basics of Godspeed in the heat of combat. He is also tremendously observant, and he believed he could notice the slightest change in the expression of two Spiders. His terrific intellect allows him to pick up on details that would ordinarily go unnoticed on a subconscious level, which results in him feeling a sense of unease towards a certain course of action before realizing why. Alex is a brilliant, virtually peerless, detective, strategist, scientist, tactician, and commander. He is widely regarded as one of the keenest analytical minds on the planet. Given his lack of superpowers, he often uses cunning and planning to outwit his foes, rather than simply "out-fighting" them. His IQ is possibly well over 1045. Due to his mental training and being naturally gifted, he has acquired an an instant learning aptitude, parallel multitasking, eidetic/photographic memory, accelerated reading, and a more powerful memory. In his normal form, he is the smartest person in his team, behind Nightwing and Mimic. He has vast knowledge of different fields. He often shows this when in use with his Detective skills. He was intelligent enough to build his own car, build and program a Tech Glider, and also mentioned he can fool a polygraph. Having been traveling around the world, Alex is highly intelligent with advanced knowledge in various fields and is one of the most resilient and brilliant crime fighters in the world. In his normal form and not counting his alien forms, Alex’s IQ is very high for a human. Despite his somewhat punkish attitude, Alex is analytical, perceptive, and deductive. In his school, Alex grades are almost always near the top, despite his work as a superhero. Aside from that, Alex can determine the pattern of his opponent's battle methods and form a proper counter-strategy to defeat his opponent's attacks. During his time in High School, he also has fairly high grades, maintaining an A+ average in the toughest subjects Physics and Chemistry compared to his teammates, save Robin. He also scored a 100% on what was considered a very difficult trigonometry test, while one student came out saying "my brain hurts". Alex said it was easy, as it was "like it was a walk in a park". When the trigonometry teacher threw out a long string of mathematical trajectories (easily taking ten seconds to say at full speed), Alex worked it out in a few seconds, (shown as a physical diagram in his point of view) and used the trajectory mentioned to send his opponent flying. Despite his somewhat punkish attitude, Alex is analytical, perceptive, and deductive. In his high school, Alex's grades are almost always near the top, despite his work as a Superhero. Aside from that, Alex can determine the pattern of his opponent's battle methods and form a proper counter-strategy to defeat his opponent's attacks. Alex is one of the most intelligent beings on the planet. Unlike other Omnitrix wielders in the multiverse, he was smart enough to use Grey Matter to hack his Prototype Omnitrix and remove the limiter, something that his rival Ben Tennyson seemingly did not consider doing himself. During his time without the Prototype Omnitrix, he was able to build the Antitrix with home materials. He also added minor modifications, mutating and cross-contaminating the alien DNA contained within it, thereby making his alien forms stronger and nastier than his normal ones. He is one of the few people on Earth to be an expert on other dimensions and the methods by which to travel to and through them. Alex patents are so valuable that he is able to create Omni-corp, Inc, without any undue financial stress. Not only has Alex proven himself to be a genius in virtually every science native to Earth, he has shown himself to be more knowledgeable than even some of the most highly advanced alien civilizations in the known universe as well. He has often be stated to be the smartest man on Earth. Quite apart from the powers granted him by the Omnitrix, Alex is far more than a mechanical engineering prodigy who graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology with honors at the age of 11. With an intelligence classified as super-genius, he easily is one of the smartest people on Earth. Furthermore, this extends to his remarkable ingenuity dealing with difficult situations such as foes and deathtraps where he is capable of using his available tools, like his armor, in unorthodox and effective ways, for example when he built his Proto-tech armor in the Plumber academy with their advance alien technology. He has also been able to hack technology from the Kree, a race centuries more advanced than humans. Alex's genius allows him to act as a futurist, a person capable of intuiting the future based on current trends, to the point of foreshadowing that a situation like the Felaryan Revolution was going to happen years before it did. This ability also extends to a much smaller scale, with Alex being capable of predicting with accuracy the way an interaction with a given individual will go down even before talking with them, a faculty that makes it really hard for human interactions to surprise him, and causes him to sometimes finish other people's sentences. Alex can use his superior intellect to the levels of dividing his consciousness with the help of Datashades and perfectly operate three portions of his consciousness at the same time, being able to move, fight, talk and process information in three different bodies at the same time. Alex has been mentioned by Cornelius to be the world's best multitasker. Alex is very sharp-witted and methodical man, alert and adaptive to the situation. He is a quick learner, having gained great knowledge, if not mastery, in various fields. He is highly tactical, both in preparation and while in action, able to quickly analyze the situation and how best to handle it. Even when operating solo, Alex could effectively track down his targets and determine the best course of action in various missions. Alex is a highly effective leader, both as a businessman and leading Team Alien. He was soon able to motivate and inspire the people of Negav, which later helped his friend become the mayor despite having no political background. Alex is able to remember almost everything he studies and reads; after he first returned from Earth, He recognized names from The List just from hearing them in conversation. At his best, he's a genius and can invent devices to suit his needs as well as navigate machines, examine alien technology and improve the Omnitrix, which is complex machine that very few can understand. He is described as having "a natural aptitude for having natural aptitudes;" picking up complicated skills quickly and retaining them, such as performing emergency surgery on teammate Juliet after reading about the procedure in a medical textbook. As Macgrath himself put it, "everyone has a talent...Mine is learning." He has spent years studying different aspects of archaeological and anthropological fields, being able to easily identify buildings and artifacts to their time period of origin from nothing more than what he can see, ranging from at least the Kamakura period (possibly before) right up to the Second World War and Cold War Era, as well as the Byzantine elements of the Remnants attire. However his brilliance is not just limited to his field of study. He also has a good memory, as he was able to recognize the cross of the Deathless Prophet which he'd previously seen in a book years earlier. Alex’s mind operates like a hypercomputer, capable of rapidly and without mechanical aid perform an infinite number of unimaginable complex and simultaneous calculations, in his mind with minimal stimuli. He can quickly, simultaneously and perfectly analyze multiple information streams (e.g. threat assessment) and rapidly respond to changing tactical situations, by identifying the variables and quantum possibilities in any situation, and he uses this information to adjust the outcome to whichever is most favorable to him. Because his mind operates like a hypercomputer; he can process information quickly and this gives him a hyper-accelerated learning aptitude. He also possesses limitless information storage and retrieval, enhanced pattern solving/recognition, extremely high perception, and observational skills, perfect deductive/reasoning skills and investigative skills, superhuman strategic/tactical analytical skills, and an eidetic memory (meaning that he never forgets anything and has perfect recall). His hyper mind also makes him one of the most intelligent people on the planet, ranking him somewhere in the top ten smartest beings. Azmuth believes that Alex is actually more intelligent than some immortals, and he has claimed to Azmuth, who says that intelligence is essentially "pattern recognition," that he sees patterns better than 99.999999993% of people on Earth. When presented with a problem, Alex presents a quick and logical response to it. His greatest weapon is his prodigious mind, possessing a genius-level intellect, and is capable of devising and executing strategies with incredible speed and precision. Even without his Omnitrix, Alex is a formidable opponent. As a child, he was a brilliant chess player, besting any opponent who played against him. He has a record of winning a game in 8 minutes and 32 seconds. However, the one person that he was unable to defeat in a chess game was his older brother, Delsin. He utilizes his masterful skills in real combat, leading a small band of individuals to victory against overwhelming odds. He could manipulate people and factions with well-spoken speeches and clever deceptions. He repeatedly demonstrated his mental acuity; ranging from his superb skill in playing chess, to an incident in class, when Maktao says C.C.'s name, Alex instantly comes up with fourteen different possibilities for Maktao's identity - including the correct one. His intellect is also shown when he was able to program the Abended base countermeasure in 19 seconds typing at an incredibly fast speed. Chun says that, during a mission, Alex devised a secret sign language containing over 500 words. Alex proves his tactical ability by predicting the Isolon Fist's actions exactly thanks to his study of past battles, allowing the Revolutionary Army to defeat them. His intelligence is also parodied in a humorous Audio Drama, which has the Student Council members acting suspicious, and Alex racing through possible explanations and cover-ups with increasing speed (though it turns out that they were acting strangely because he had some rice on his cheek from his lunch). Similarly, when Lily held a "Masked Confession Competition", which was started off by Martha professing her love for him (while wearing a swimming cap and goggles, no less), he started racing through all the possible identities save the correct one. Focusing so intensely on it, not even hearing the others around him pitying Martha, he concludes that there are over 47 different possibilities, and that "they've had [him] fooled from the beginning." His intelligence is most evident by his creation of Noctis's Omnitrix via the collaboration of multiple intelligent transformations and his own intellect. His sharp mind allows him to take advantage of most situations and turn the tide in his favor. He has also received Advance Plumber training, having succeeded in the Plumbers' Academy with a 100 out of a 100 like his father and older brother. Genius level or above having showed a deep understanding of multiple fields of science, technology of the Sacred Ancestor, and multiple disciplines. He has shown speed reading, a photographic memory, and mimic ability. Master detective, expert in psychology, highly logical reasoning. Easily negates manipulations and uncovers deception. He is one of the only people on the planet who can come close to the Sacred Ancestor Records in this area who is the undisputed most intelligent on earth and possibly the universe at large. Alex can read and recall Latin incantations, which can be used to summon, exorcise, and vanquish demons. Aside from Latin, he is also able to read and/or recite other languages. An excellent example of this is when Alex used his linguistic knowledge in translating ancient and foreign texts to identify a foreign monster and its weaknesses. Also, he has journals, or books, with information, details and methods to kill the different creature he must face. He also possess massive and in-depth knowledge on supernatural lore. He is a polymath capable of mastering 20 degrees in little time. He possesses a photographic memory. He can develop all sorts of weapons and gadgets, which range from his Proto-tech armor, to viruses capable of taking powers away from metahumans and other superpowered beings. His detective skills are completely unmatched, and he can beat most foes just by outsmarting them. Alex possesses a practically superhuman level intellect, being able to create technology capable of feats beyond contemporary science. He usually displays keen analytical skills and ability to recognize design and engineering styles, even being able to understand the engineering sensibilities of his alternate future counterpart's time machine. It stands to reason that Alex is well versed in compressible micro-technology, which is shown in his creation of battle armor, which adjusts to fit the size of the wearer, which likely possesses the ability to stretch to Oozaru-sized beings just as the original models did. With time, he obtained a great understanding of alien technology and biology, as he was able to design Saiyan battle armor that mimicked the properties of Monki's armor that he wore on Planet Namek, and made his own variant that could keep up with the rigors of Super Saiyan and above-levels of exertion and physical stress. His understanding of Saiyan biology comes into play with his ability to design training equipment for himself, knowing the parameters of Saiyan physiology. This is likely due to having witnessed the increases in strength that Saiyans are capable of due to having seen his Saiyan form gradually improved his strength and abilities for decades. He has also had the opportunity to improve his scientific knowledge by studying various pieces of alien technology from a Plumber's Spaceship, a dead Saiyan's Scouter, to the Nameless Namekian's Spaceship, an Attack Ball remote, and Battle Armor which he either repaired and/or reverse engineered. Additionally, he's studied the technology of other scientists such as Android blueprints, Cyborg while repairing him, and the Blutz Wave Generator. He also studied his future self's work in the field of Time Machine development after receiving access to his late counterpart's notebook thus potential knowledge of future developments in the technology of an alternate future timeline. With pencil and paper, Alex sketched a design instructing and guiding the Plumbers to create a functioning time machine. Alex's drive to kill Vilgax and save the universe only strengthened him to go beyond the limits of human intelligence. Pushing Alex that after years of all his training, to read every book & study every form of knowledge, resulting in a mastery of them all. Just to understand all the methods and motives of the criminal element. His intelligence is so remarkable, that Alex figured out how to utilize a Zeta-Beam in mere seconds, which took Blukic and Driba years to do and they are both Galvans. DeSaad was willing to use Scarecrow as chew toy for Clot for leading Alex back to the Fourth World, due to how dangerous he is. Along with Darkseid stating that Alex's ten times smarter than DeSaad and Darkseid’s army put together. As President, Alex prepared for threats facing Felarya by placing a network of marked locations around the world for him to teleport to, including multiple safe houses and a network of fully supplied hideouts throughout Felarya.

**Genius-Level Geneticist**: He is a genius and a geneticist of the highest order, able to predict genetic mutations and splice DNA. He can also produce large amounts of clones; he has done so with all his aliens, and with Samuel Wilson and he is an expert on the art of cloning and also on mutants, with vast knowledge of powers, genes and more due to the hundreds of samples of alien DNA he has access to. He is normally described as the world's greatest geneticist, is one of the leading authorities on aliens of the entire world. He is able to identify all kinds of genetic material, human, mutant and alien and, to a limited extent, simulate the effects of changing a genome. Alex has immense skills in chemical engineering and genetic engineering, among other scientific technique. This skill was most definitively shown when he was able to reverse-engineer organisms from mere DNA samples, recreating exact replicas of the tailed beasts, although it had taken nearly three decades to complete the project. Wanting to decipher all of the world's secrets, Alex conducted extensive research and numerous experiments on himself and the DNA of other individuals to comprehend, attain, or reproduce their abilities. Research of abilities such as the Senju's Wood Release and Jūgo's Clan Sage Transformation have allowed him to recreate those same abilities, or at least produce techniques based off of them, into other people. From experimentation on Albedo, Alex has become more knowledgeable of human genetics, facilitating his overall research. He could build a sophisticated robot with advanced weaponry, creates genjutsu pills that can subdue a jinchūriki and their tailed beast simultaneously, and even cultivate the cells of a tailed beast to create a pseudo-jinchūriki.

**Body Modification Expert**: Alex has done extensive research on modifying bodies, and he has upgraded a variety of his own body parts to function as weapons and provide him with useful abilities. In addition, he can also restructure his own body in an extremely short period of time if necessary, such as when he rearranged the contents of his arm in order to prevent Alma from controlling it.

**Electrocorticography Specialist**: One of Alex's greatest passions during his studies at M.I.T was experimenting and ascertaining vital information from the study of memories and brainwaves. Through his mastery of Earth and alien technologies, Alex has been able to implement his findings for extracting and preserving knowledge and memories from the human mind. Using this same scientific practice, he devised lethal weaponry which could hotwire the brain's electrical signals to cause biophysical degradation. Causing bodily functions to stop little by little the longer one is exposed to them.

**Mystical Eugenics Expertise**: Combining his knowledge of super science with arcane mysticism, Alex has been able to physically bolster and enhance his finest allies using a form of metaphysical practice giving them similar power and enhancements to his own. As he'd done for Maria in the past while she was in his services.

**Chemical Specialist**: Through unknown means, Alex was somehow able to replicate the effect of a Heart-Shaped Herb through a counterfeit artificial enhancement production similar in its biomolecular chemistry. He'd even deduced that it was not merely those of a family tree who'd been able to consume it without side effects, but merely the repetitive intake of which by his bloodline that enables them to resist it's natural toxicity.

**Master Surgeon**: He is a master surgeon, having excised a portion of a enemy’s brain, only to later restore it. Besides this area he is also a skilled doctor, one of the best from his time in England with honors in medicine and later in biology.

**Organ Replacement Surgery**: Most impressively, he has demonstrated the ability to replace functional internal organs with false ones that are just as functional as their real counterparts yet nowhere near as vulnerable to harm, a feat he performs on himself and his lieutenant to safeguard them from injury. This particular operation is conceived of and carried out in the span of less than an hour.

**Chemistry**: He has successfully managed to re-create Lazarus Pits, even one that he used to have in his mansion. He made antitoxin for Joker Venom. He also synthesized an antidote from Poison Ivy's blood to make his teammates immune to her pheromones. Alex created a synthetic mineral (basically a new element) to weaken Wraith, that works very similar to that of Green Kryptonite. Alex has some skill in chemistry when he reverse engineered Fear Gas to have the opposite effect, turning it into Anti-Fear Toxin.

**Temporal Mechanics**: Alex understands the workings of the Speed Force and its connection to time-travel. Alex was so familiar with time travel, he stated he could smell chronal energy on people.

**Polymath**: He was a polymath at the age of 14. While not never attending college, he spent years studying under several mentors in numerous scientific fields and engaging in autodidactic studies on his own time during his global sojourn. He has studied Biology, Technology, Mathematics, Physics, Mythology, Geography and History. Alex gained degrees in Criminal Science, Forensic Sciences, Computer Sciences, Chemistry, and Engineering. He has mastered Diverse Environmental Training, Security Systems, and illusion/sleight of hand. He gained even more degrees in Biology, Physics, Advanced Chemistry, electrical, mechanical and aerospace engineering, electronics, chemistry, all levels of physics, human and alien biology, technology, and many others. He has also learned Medical Sciences, Expanded Computer, Engineering Sciences, A visionary theoretician and inspired machine smith, he has made breakthroughs in such varied fields as space travel, time travel, extra-dimensional travel, Versology, biochemistry, robotics, computers, synthetic polymers, communications, mutations, transportation, holography, energy generation, spectral analysis, subatomic physics, cybernetics, artificial intelligence, programming, emergency medicine, optics, entomology, and more. Expanded Device Pool use of personal powered armor and system, database creation on underworld crime bosses, rogue's gallery foes and other supers; improved material sciences for body armor and micro-machinery. He has also learned Advanced New Development in Forensic and Medical Sciences. He possesses immense knowledge in things regarding science, supernatural and everything in between. He is trained in every field, every subject, every trade and read every book. He has extensive knowledge on various alien customs, societies and cultures, as well as various knowledge about cosmic abstracts such as Oblivion. He has fought against many of the most powerful; gods and great intellectual minds alike. His achievements stand amongst gods. He has completely memorized all the facts in countless encyclopedias and books during his time aboard. He is exceptionally knowledgeable in various subjects including Mathematics, various Sciences, History, Geography, Medicine, and most likely more, to a level that would have definitely given him degrees in these fields.

**Mathematics**: During high school, Alex is a mathlete honoree, indicating that his mathematical skill is advanced for his age.

**Literature**: Alex is well-read, being familiar with works of literature such as William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, H.G. Wells' The War of the Worlds, and Sun Tzu's The Art of War.

**Criminology**: As the Vigilante and a former Bounty Hunter, Alex Macgrath has an exceptional insight into how illegal activities work, such as mercenary groups or how criminal and terrorist organizations.

**Master Occultist & Magical Knowledge**: During his studies which continued until recently Alex has gain expert awareness on cults and the extra-dimensional entities they worship, this knowledge as of yet far exceeds any on Earth in the Universe. He gained great knowledge regarding magic and the supernatural world, able to immediately identify Damien Brown’s magical powers and distinguishing it from Alien powers. His years of experience as a paranormal investigator has given him expertise in folklore, magical rituals, the use of charms and curses, paranormal creatures and other related topics. He possesses an extensive understanding of occult lore due to his experience. He has vast knowledge of ancient history, mythology, and culture, as shown when she could read the scroll inside the hilt of the katana, which is used by the Stormguard General to commit seppuku. He was even able to recognize the powers of certain supernatural beings, such as the sorcery of Himiko, or the immortality & healing of the Prophet. Haung educated Alex on different kinds of magic, and different effects of it. Alex possess an extensive knowledge of the supernatural and mythology as well. During Alex's travels throughout the world, he came into contact with numerous tribes and civilizations. Thus he witnessed many of their rituals and has minor skills in their performance. He was able to recreate the Calypso serum for himself and his family. Alex possesses an extraordinary amount of information regarding the mystical and cosmic items among within the universe such as the Soul Gems and the Quantum Bands, the understanding of the universe and it greater powers, and information on the supernatural in which seemed superior to that of Magique and the capability of the Shi'ar Empire.

**Mystical Knowledge**: Throughout his adventures, learning zen buddhism and urban shamanism, Alex has learned various mystical and supernatural techniques to aid him in his quest. He can feel sensations in the air, making it difficult to sneak up on him. He knows a mental technique that can help in healing wounds and broken bones. Also, he can see through walls and also track down people by feeling the city he is in. With focus, Alex can make himself a floating astral form that can hurt and kill his enemies.

**Universal Knowledge**: Alex has gained a lot of knowledge about different alien species and their abilities thanks to his father, brother and his experience. Due to his time with the Plumbers, Alex has extensive knowledge on various alien customs, societies and cultures, as well as various knowledge about cosmic abstracts such as Oblivion. Having spent much of his young life traveling, Alex has acquired a vast resource of knowledge ranging from Noble history, to even local folklore of small villages. Alex has a lot of experience with alien culture from decades of voyages and missions through the universe.

**Master Theologian and Mythologist**: Alex Macgrath, despite being a militant misotheist, has an encyclopedic knowledge of both pagan (particularly Egyptian and Greco-Roman) and biblical creeds, myths, and theology.

**Maritime Archaeology**: It showcases how skilled Alex is, especially towards sailing vessels and ships. On Yamatai, He identifies an 18th-century Portuguese vessel and recalls nearby trade routes Portugal had with Japan. In Siberia, he identifies a Byzantine war galley perched on an ice floe. And in Peru, he navigates a Spanish galleon and is impressed by how it navigated that far inland. His time on the Endurance shows his to be a competent deckhand and he also has experience with salvage diving.

**Asian Archaeology**: Alex reveals he studied Asian Archaeology during his travels. His skill is so vast that his depth surpassed that of Dr. Whitman, who had a PhD in East Asian History. On Yamatai he knows Kofun and Kamakura style, and recognized a Han Chinese mural in a cave in Yunnan. He also knew about currency and government artifacts from the Meiji Restoration.

**Art History**: He has identified architecture and building styles from various periods: Kofun and Kamakura Japan, World War Two-era Imperial Japan, Byzantine, Soviet Russian, Mongolian, Mayan and Incan. He observed how Kitezh eventually made its own artistic style. He also took note of murals, inscriptions, and stele. This may be related to his mother, who majored in art history.

**History of Magic**: Alex also has knowledge of magical history, especially of Magizoology. A whole chapter of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them was devoted to the definitions of beasts, beings, and spirits and how the definitions have evolved in past centuries.

**Wandlore**: Alex has some knowledge of the properties of wand cores, including Thunderbird tail feathers.

**Russian Religion**: He knew of the legend of the Immortal Prophet of Kitezh and Baba Yaga. For the former, he recognized the Prophet's insignia from his father's book concerning Russian lore and religion. While in an embalming chamber, he also made reference to Eastern Orthodoxy.

**Philosopher**: Alex has an extensive knowledge of Western and Eastern philosophy.

**Vast Knowledge and Archaeological Skills**: Alex is an exceptional archaeologist, with a vast knowledge of history and cultures. He was able to, for example, correctly deduct the identity of the St. Mermaid by merely examining the two-century old remains of one of its dead crewmen. As a child prodigy, he passed his archaeological exams at the age of 11 to become a certified scholar. He is also the only person alive who can read the language written on poneglyph tablets, which contain records of ancient history; this was the true reason why his first bounty was so high, despite being issued when he was only 16 years old. It is revealed that Alex taught himself most of these skills through researching in the library of congress, which he had done without the aid of his senior colleagues. This shows great aptitude in academics and research. Outside of historic knowledge, Alex also possesses considerable knowledge of most of the major figures in the world, and has at least heard of such individuals and groups. He is even aware of top-secret organizations. For this reason, he is the main person anyone turns to when they want an explanation of new information. With his quick learning and journeys across the globe, he has been able to amass an intimate knowledge of many foreign customs and cultures. Once he saw a kabuki play of The 47 Ronin (Genroku Chushingura) and remarked how it was one of the finest kabuki troupes he had seen. His exploits have further endowed him with vast awareness of literature and philosophy. Due to his travels around the world, Alex was taught by many different cultures, including African, Greek, Russian, Mongolian, English, and more. Presumably, he learned the local languages and dialects of his teachers during his time aboard. He even learned the Egyptian language during his training with the Egyptian priests.

**Zoology**: Over the years he has encountered numerous creatures, passive and hostile, prey and predator. He has perfected hunting wild game, has fought them off, and has basic knowledge of certain species. In Colombia, he mentioned basic knowledge of feral pigs' mating seasons and the hunting patterns of jaguars. It is possible his knowledge of jaguars helped him in Peru; jaguars are known for crushing the skulls of their prey, and during a fight with one, he stuck his bow in the cat's mouth to keep its jaws away from his head. He has encountered: deer, wolves, rabbits, crabs (Yamatai), deer and wolves (Ukraine), scorpions (Syria), squirrels, birds, Eurasian lynx, snow leopard, wolves, deer, rabbits, boars, and bears (Siberia), snakes (Yunnan), elephants (Thailand), feral cats (Japan), bats, rats, moray eels (Mexico), salamanders (Colombia), and finally: rabbits, howler monkeys, dart frogs, jaguars, capybaras, llamas (wild/domesticated), condors, moray eels, snakes, piranhas, maned wolves (different from regular wolves), all found in the Amazon Basin (Peru).

**Magizoology**: It is the study of magical creatures. He learns about a wide range of magical creatures, from flobberworms to fire crabs, and even unicorns and thestrals. He is taught about feeding, maintaining, breeding, and proper treatment of these creatures and many more.

**Herbology**: It is the study of magical and mundane plants and fungi. He learns to care for and utilize plants, learn about their magical properties and what they are used for. Many plants provide ingredients for potions and medicine, while others have magical effects of their own right.

**Mining**: During his quests in Russia and Peru, he harvests veins of raw metals and minerals for crafting, helped by a codex found in Russia. A curious side note is that while in Peru he finds a gold panning tool and quickly determines that it was used in mining between the 60s and 70s.

**Attention to Detail**: He is capable of picking out details in hid surroundings to both aid him in combat and remove obstacles and hazards from his path. He has also shown that he’s able to spot an empty cylinder on a revolver.

**Communications**: Earpieces, walkie-talkies, and two-way radios are common items he uses for equipment. On Yamatai, under Ryu’s tutelage, he was able to operate a transmitter, boost a signal, change channels, and communicate with international emergency broadcasts. He also contributed to disable communication outposts built by the Nexus.

**Navigation**: He has an excellent sense of direction, and can set himself on the right path with minimal information. He also seems to have studied cartography and orienteering, as he can find hidden areas from directions on monoliths, and map out areas.

**Astronomical Knowledge**: Adding to his sense of direction, he can navigate by stars, likely taught to him by some unknown person. Even knowing about Axial Precession and it's effect on where stars appear in the sky. He used this to deduce that a riddle in Mexico had directions leading to Peru.

**Spelunking**: Alex rappels into multiple caves, and is able to navigate in multiple cave systems, often with negligible lighting. In Colombia he not only survives the hostile environment but eliminates numerous special forces.

**Mountaineering**: He is an expert climber. His mentor took him on numerous treks during his training, including the legendary trek to the summit of Snowdon, the huge mountain in Wales. Mastering free climbing, rappelling, and tandem climbing on rock and ice. His expertise on the ice axe has enabled him to attach to solid rock and icy surfaces. He also uses more practical climbing techniques such as emergency self-arrest and, before an avalanche, planned to anchor a line for him. His omniscience of this ability increased after decoding both a Byzantine codex and a Mayan stele.

**Eidetic Memory**: Alex has total recall and can remember anything in great detail. He has an extraordinarily sharp memory, as he was perfectly capable of remembering and writing down the mystic rune-like symbols for entering the inter-dimensional realm of Arrgaom with just one glance from a distance. This is even more true for things that interest him. He has a photographic memory, which borders on absolute total recall. This has allowed him to memorize the countless skills, disciplines, and facts that he taught himself over the years. Before starting his training around the world to kill Vilgax and avenge his family, he learned to speed read, lip read, plus developing total recall combined with his genius level intellect was able to ease through college having only taken the courses he needed then moved on. Alex knows the "Memory Palace Technique", a strategy of memory enhancement that allows him to treat and store memories like a museum. He was taught this technique by Ra's al Ghul. Alex has a photographic memory, which borders on absolute total recall. This has allowed him to memorize the countless skills, disciplines, and facts that he learned over the years. Alex has the ability to recall everything he has ever read or heard with absolute precision. He memorized the entire layout of the Plumber academy. He also memorized every single detail of his worst moments. Alex developed total recall, which he used to streamline his college education.

**Master Detective**: In part 1, Alex was able to track down several missing children kidnapped by a trafficker, based on the fact that they all owned toys made by his company. Alex has shown astute deductive reasoning. Delsin once described Alex's logic as "flawless. Alex developed some skills as a detective under his father's wing, as he helped a girl locate her father by having him search for heat sensors in underground tunnels. Alex utilized a similar trick to track down the Joker, finding him by tracking the clowns vocal patterns. He tracked down Hawkins and found Diego. In part 2, he is widely considered the World's Greatest Detective, capable of observation, forensic investigation, and inductive and deductive reasoning of the highest caliber. Human intuition is an unlearnable trait and one of Alex most effective tools. Given any mystery, he can arrive at the correct conclusions with a fraction of the data. He has aided Plumbers in solving hundreds of inconclusive crime. Alex regularly outsmart the highly intelligent Mickey and commonly uses his detective skills, deductive intuition to match the unpredictable Skullface, and even able to deduce the mere physics and mechanics of a Green Lantern ring and even his Omnitrix. Alex is a master detective, and has been said to be second to none. He was able to solve a riddle by the Spindx before anyone else even figured it out and has been shown to solve mysteries and cases in a speed that even impresses legendary figures. Chun even commented that he was able to solve 4 cases in "Felarya's Most Wanted" in a single morning and solved a homicide case that went unsolved for 14 years. He was also able to deduce clues Chun left in the manor that suggested she was traveling through time. Due to his skill, he can detect things that are beyond human capabilities and make very accurate guesses, his detective skills are so great that no villain has been capable of escaping from him. His ability to deduce the secret identities of superheroes on his own has been used to underscore his skill. His primary intellectual detection method is abductive reasoning. Alex can determine much of what transpired in an area with little evidence by searching for information and following clues. He is very precise with forensics, able to analyze a crime scene; for example, Alex determined Lamar Lawton was the sniper targeting the bidders of Future Industries after analyzing one of the sniper's bullets and researching the modus operandi. Upon investigating the scene of Mike Holder's murder, Alex deduced where Lawton's stray bullet had landed and thoroughly studied it. He is able to instantly and expertly identify a type of wound by its blood spatter pattern, pinpoint a shooter's position from bullet holes and determine causes of death of corpses. Alex was able to deduce that Noctis was from the future in 5 minutes flat. Alex even predicted when/where a time travelling Eon would attack, something that not even Ben 10,000 could do. In their first meeting, Alex deduces Maria's a telepath. Given any mystery, he can arrive at the correct conclusions with a fraction of the data. As a child, Alex began his first investigation when trying to solve why Vilgax killed his parents and that it was Phil Billings, who was responsible. What was thought to be a failure, his deduction of discovering evidence, turned out to be true. The truest testament to Alex's knowledge and effectiveness as a detective, is that he had learned the Masked Killer's true identity, just one week after they first met. Alex deduced that Albedo was actually a hologram because he had no scent. He despite not knowing a language still narrowed it down to its continent of origin. Alex managed to deduce out how the Haruspex worked, before Brainiac-5 could figure it out in time. Alex identified the likely shade and type of vehicle involved in a hit and run and identified a means to track it in seconds of arriving at a crime scene. After arriving at a homicide crime scene he quickly figures out what happened and that the killer is still in the building.

**Forensic Science**: Alex knows how to identify diseases. He also knows how to carbon date, take a radiographic resonance and metallurgical tests.

**Multilingualism**: In part 1, he can speak fluently in Vietnamese, and French, and excels in Spanish at school.

He was capable of also learning the language of High Izzau from being around them after being pulled into the Ultraverse. As an Adult, Alex can speak 17,897 different languages from across the universe.

**Computer Hacking**: In part 1, Alex claims to have hacked his school's computer at the age of ten. Alex has shown that he is more than capable of easily gaining access to almost any computer or program he wants in a matter of seconds. Even at ten he was easily able to hack into both a Government computer with little to no effort on his part. In part 2, Alex can hack into almost any computer and learn what he needs from its database. He was able to hack and record the mobile frequency of the Death Squad members brain bombs and activate them. He was easily able to hack and steal all data and information from Area 51 and NASA. Alex was able to hack and overload Techno’s internal systems, putting him into a dream-like condition. He has the ability and skills to access any file or record on the planet including redacted, sealed, or highly-encrypted; including radio frequencies, bus, train, and plane schedules. He is skilled enough to hack into the Vishmitals emergency override codes and hacked an alien Terminal with the use of the Tameranean Language he learnt from his Tameranean form in his Omnitrix. Having been taught by a CIA agent, Alex was able to hack into Pentagon computers in less than five minutes. Alex has shown that he is more than capable of easily gaining access to almost any computer or program he wants in a matter of seconds Alien or Human. He can easily able to hack into both Galvin files with little to no effort on his part. During Alex’s time in Russia., he became quite proficient in handling programs and networks. He is capable of hacking a system to transfer money from/into bank accounts, set up a network to monitor criminal activity in Moscow, acquire guarded information, and work around security programs. He can also override basic attacks on his system in the subway. His abilities improved due to training from the Russians and North Koreans; while in Carandiru Penitentiary, he was able to hack into its network using an old computer in the library to look up the Warden's profile. He was an expert in the field of computer science, demonstrating genius-level aptitude for programming, modifying, and diagnosing almost any computer system: even those of unfamiliar human and extraterrestrial origin. He used his skills in many high-stress combat situations to great effect, and in combination with his alien’s ability to disrupt electrical systems he was a formidable foe for any enemy relying on advanced technology. He has shown to have an advanced aptitude for hacking, being able to manipulate cars, cell phones, and basically any machinery within his surroundings. He is a skilled hacker, capable of hacking into any technology, especially Plumber technology, which he has done on multiple occasions. Alex has access to countless digital records, public and private. He claimed he had access to any data network on the planet. His more impressive feats include gaining full access to the surveillance systems of a multiversal alien invasion force and retrieving information from the "black box" of a deceased celestial. He is a skilled hacker; he was able to locate Irwin hacking into his GPS from a normal computer a great distance away. Alex was originally brought into the Teen Titans and Young Avengers because of his technical abilities with computers. He can crack any safe or hack into any system if there is even the slightest possibility anyone can do it. Alex's only limit to tech is when the system is fool-proof. Examples including Reyes' safe which couldn't be opened without his hand print. However, Alex was able to hack the electronic passcode of the safe but that alone couldn't open the safe. He can even hack into a Green Lantern Ring and an Apokolyptian computer. Alex has shown to have an advanced aptitude for hacking, being able to manipulate cars, cell phones, and basically any machinery within his surroundings. He hacked into an ancient Kryptonian ship's computers. Alex hacked into the Plumber's communication grid. He has multiple backdoors into NORAD and has full control over the US nuclear arsenal. He created a program to identify every molecule of kryptonite on the planet.

**Computer Operation**: Alex is extremely proficient with computers. He can design, repair, network, hack, edit, manage and sometimes basically understand the workings of a computer. This includes both hardware and/or software as it relates to computer systems.

**Master Tactician and Strategist**: In part 1, Alex is a natural leader and tactician, able to analyze most situations and develop complex and effective plans during combative situations in quick instances. Alex is capable of devising complex tactics as well as run accurate simulations and evaluate the success rate of each of them, even in the middle of a fight. His skills in evaluating the assets at his disposal and making the most of them are such that Ben and Rex were completely dependent on him to organize their Greed Island cards. Despite Max being his senior, Alex also presided the strategic meeting before the invasion of the palace. Alex's exceptional capacity for lateral thinking extends to battle tactics, making him wholly unpredictable. He managed to surprise Deathstroke three times during their fight. He devised simple but effective strategies to defeat Khyber and Terax using his surroundings, and resorted to a similar method to land a punch on SixSix. He devised the plan that allowed Charmcaster to abduct Delsin. His willingness to take significant damage to land a critical hit would have allowed him to defeat Rocky without relying on Delsin's plan had the latter not been saved by a fortuitous coincidence. Against Shallow and Owl he displayed decent analytical skills, identifying the mechanics behind their coordinated attacks and turning them against the duo. Alex is a natural leader and tactician, able to analyze most situations and develop complex and effective plans during combative situations in quick instances. Alex can formulate flawless plans even in combat to exploit his opponent's weaknesses to the fullest. His intuition is matched by his logical thinking and meticulous preparations. Although he can retain his cool in desperate situations, he can barely stick to his own plan when it concerns Vilgax, to the extent he might even snap and endanger not only himself, but his friends as well. On the ship he exhibited greater composure than before and has performed his greatest strategic feat yet, becoming the lynchpin of a stalemate, or at least an impediment, of the succession contest with an endless series of ad hoc tactics, mixing truth and lies, secrets and deliberately disclosed information. His disclosure of the existence of Aliens and his classes constituted the biggest game-changer of the succession contest, forcing an impasse and increasing the odds of lower-ranked princes to survive. In part 2, he commonly utilizes cunning tactics to outwit his foes, relying on his plans and experience to outmaneuver many of his superhuman friends and adversaries. Alex is known as one of the greatest strategists and tacticians in the universe. He is a master strategist and tactician commonly utilizes extremely cunning tactics, strategies, and protocols to outwit his foes. He is also an excellent leader and usually commands various teams. Azmuth refers to him as the "Greatest Tactician on the planet" and has listed him as such in his database. Alex is known as one of the greatest (if not the greatest) strategists and tacticians in the entire universe, challenged only by Dando who has enhanced mental performance. For these reasons he is listed as the one of the greatest living strategist and tactician in the entire multiverse and recognized as a leader and tactical commander. Alex is a capable tactician due to his training. He is also skilled in reading the body motions of others, allowing him to anticipate the actions of multiple armed opponents and anticipate an opponent's next move. He can easily create complex plans. He is always prepared for any situation. Alex is "a tactical genius". He has been widely considered one of, if not the greatest, tacticians both on and off the battlefield. He's capable of formulating sufficient victory plans in "less than a second", and his brilliant tactical sense allows him to just as quickly alter any strategy of plan to fit the needs of the situation, one example of the latter is changing his squad crew's pre-articulated plan within thirty seconds of drop-time after observing the approaching battlefield's variables. Always calculating his opponents moves before hand; he even single handedly defeated imperfect roster. He has been compared to his father in terms of tactical methods. Even against metahumans he has proven more than a match for them all at once with time to prepare. Alex can work out a battle ahead of time for all possibilities and predict enemy movements and tactics after the battle has engaged. Alex intellect is deadlier than his Omnitrix. He typically out-thinks and out-strategizes everybody in the book. Armed solely with conventional weapons and motivated by a fanatical hatred for criminals like those who murdered his family, Alex has single-handedly incapacitated up to a dozen well-armed and experienced opponents in a single encounter and escaped uninjured. It is his military training and his attention to detail that allows him to achieve this. He is a brilliant tactician capable of quickly formulating battle strategies and new plans if the situation changes, like being able to elaborate different complex plans in order to defeat different enemies in difficult situations, and be victorious. Even going as far as to simultaneously put a Chess master in check on five different boards playing chess, a game he didn't learn until later in his life, leaving him totally astonished. He is able to formulate strategies of advanced combat and escape, even with minimal resources, and to change them according to the needs of the situation. Alex already said he fled from twenty two prisons. In the Kyln, Alex quickly devised a plan to escape using only a power source and security band. On Berhert, he quickly laid out a series of traps for the Ravagers. As a master hitman, he is highly capable of casing out, planning and executing assassinations. He is also very spatially aware in combat situations, making use of the environment, weapons held by dead enemies and even, legendarily, pencils. His years of experience on the battlefield honed his strategic ingenuity. He could quickly devise a number of approaches and could switch approaches immediately. The longer he spent against a particular opponent, the less he needed backup tactics, as he could eventually predict what they would do and identify literal or psychological weaknesses to exploit. He could form and verify any theories he comes up with using small details. In addition to his sheer adaptability, Alex is knowledgeable on a large variety of abilities, and thus could identify techniques when used and react with the most appropriate counter to them. From his training, Alex learned much about the world, individual people in it, and different abilities from throughout history. As such, it is difficult to surprise him in combat because he already knows tactics from certain villages are likely to use, what weaknesses to take advantage of in different opponents, and how to counter most attacks. In those infrequent occasions when he encounters something new, he calmly keeps his distance and observes carefully until he devises the best approach to neutralizing it. His insight enables him to plan years in advance, accurately predicting the course of nations and knowing just how to manipulate them to his advantage. If any plan of his should fail for whatever reason, he can formulate a backup plan quickly and without being inconvenienced, proving tremendous strategic and tactical ingenuity. Indeed, Alex often kept multiple back-up plans, rarely pinning his hopes on a single outcome. Even when he doesn't use this system of misdirection and decoys, he remains alert to any unexplained or unexpected occurrences, coming up with theories for their causes when they arise and exploiting them if they prove true, which they usually do. Once he identifies an opponent's weakness, Alex can quickly formulate a plan to take advantage of it, efficiently utilizing each of his allies' unique skills to that purpose. Such plans, while often elaborate and unorthodox, are typically highly successful and very low-risk, making him invaluable as a leader. Composed and observant; he thought very quickly and remained calm in a fight, enabling him to respond with maximum efficiency and with the smallest likelihood of misjudging circumstances. Even at a young age, he was always calculating and methodical in his approach to the situation at hand, leaving little room for error. In combat, he usually remains on the offensive, rarely pausing in his attacks or falling back to regroup. Rather, Alex observes as he goes, being mindful to all factors on the battlefield and analyzing his opponents' techniques to understand their mechanics and purposes. He is accordingly accustomed to coming up with tactics on the fly, choosing whatever approach, no matter how elaborate, will be most successful at the exact moment. His strategies could be considered irresponsible or risky, as he has on more than one occasion placed himself or allies in harm's way. Despite this, his actions have the tendency to pay off, earning praise for his analytical skills from Nodagog and Sakradeva. Aizen Dovahkiin would also praise Alex for having eventually figured out the nature of his technique and even went as far as to say that his analytical skills coupled with his Omnitrix made him more dangerous than the Guardians, who was deemed his equal. Despite how he proceeds in the midst of combat, Alex does tend to be prepared before entering a fight, or as best as he can: he trained in secret with the new alien samples he scanned from his teammates; he hacked the Teen Titans and Young Avengers computers to jam their communication, preventing them for getting help from the Justice League and Avengers; he has knowledge of all his former teammates weaknesses, helping him take them down. He is a highly skilled planner. He was able to use Rebels to commit heists and bombings around Coruscant and set ups plan to frame the local gangs as criminals by putting bomb on Hank to blackmail them into robbing a van. He later manipulated Dove into activating Hank's bomb by disguising the detonator as a gun and trick her into killing him in order to save Hank. He may even have a strategy in mind that he can work towards throughout a fight, as when he spends part of his fight with Tabata creating conditions for Forecaster, even relying on Tabata own techniques to facilitate in its use. He has shown tactical sense in teamwork, able to instantly understand an ally's battle plan with little communication and act accordingly to make it successful. He has a cunning imagination that was useful in split-second decision making, which has repeatedly proved invaluable in battle. He is a remarkable tactile learner, able to learn better through executing a task rather than understanding the theory of it. Delsin also considered him to have a good gambling instinct. Once seen in action, even the likes of Haung revise their thoughts about Alex's intellect and instinct in battle. During his fight with IV, Alex showed his ability to think ahead by hiding his power and faking defeat in order to make IV drop her guard and reveal her plans, although IV was perceptive enough to see through his attempts. Alex ultimately was able to find out the weakness of IV's cybernetics absorbing eye and overtax it after seeing it in action repeatedly. Alex's most famous mental skill is to deceive his opponents, as he made effective use of even the most simple techniques to trick the deadliest of opponents. He could formulate multi-step plans or backup plans in the thick of battle, and act quickly even when given new information. He can also seemingly make himself predictable by creating a pattern, only to throw off his opponent by breaking it. He has even thrown in what others would call completely useless techniques at powerful opponents to create an opening for a counterattack. Alex is rather observant, able to notice details others may overlook and subsequently take advantage of them to overcome his opponents. Alex is a brilliant tactician and strategist, utilizing his powers, weapons, and skills in extremely cunning ways, including contriving and building incredibly complicated and effectively deadly traps. From a young age, Alex repeatedly showed keen instincts and quick decision-making skills, considered by many to be a genius, Able to easily learn various advanced techniques or utilize basic ones for crafty maneuvers, he already became a stand-out before even entering from the Isolon University of Magic. He is a proficient strategist and tactician, observing his opponent's skills and deducing their workings with ease and accuracy whilst remaining calm and composed. He then chooses the most effective means and alien to counter them. Alex's resolution also enables him to pick strategies in which he requires getting injured in order to defeat the enemy, showing tremendous endurance and willpower. Likewise, he can use his techniques as setups for his larger-scale ones. Alex can develop many powerful techniques on his own, all based on the one technique he learned from another, such as different taijutsu maneuvers from Copper Lee's techniques, or innovative variations of the Chidori. He can be rather deceptive, capable of tricking older and more experienced opponents like Thas Voidfingers and Ramtov Telekline into confirming the mechanics of their techniques. Likewise, Alex can use even basic illusions to dangerous effect, tricking his opponent into letting their guard down. He is a proficient researcher, able to well-prepare himself for enemies and their various abilities, such as the nature of Shang Volder's techniques and unique cursed seals. His cunning in battle was even able to deceive and ultimately defeat Fazlatt Of Strept, a famed and veteran Master Assassin/Witcher with a outsider mark of the Felaryan Brotherhood from Aubersart with decades of experience and powerful weapons on his side. He is able to prepare ingenious strategies when it comes to fighting. On more than one occasion, he was able to defeat opponents he was no match at first by using the correct tactics. In addition, Alex himself states and proved that techniques used against him cannot work more than once, because he can adapt to them find their weak points. Because of this, Alex is considered to be a master tactician. Even capable of deducing how a fight would go in a thousand different ways. Throughout his travels, he proved himself to be a skilled strategist, able to exploit any situation to his advantage. For example, Alex used his ship's damages as a smokescreen to conceal his movements from the Empire. He is also able to form alliances with people with special skills, such as Kryie, and use them to his advantage. As he matured, Alex developed greater strategic skills and foresight, planning ahead to avoid landing himself in compromising predicaments. When he and Ben needed to enter a specific room in the ruins, Alex was able to outsmart the celestial calendar by using his dual swords to reflect the sun's rays on the sunstone at the correct angle, activating the mechanism to open the doors. He also displayed good military, organizational, and leadership skills when he became President of Felarya, which he demonstrated when he re-organized the Army into a more compact and effective force and later commanded it in the battle for freedom. His time being a "bad guy", as he put it, also gave him insight into certain situations. In the South Galaxy, Senator Kuei was used as leverage by Zen to capture Hako. Upon hearing the demands, Alex correctly deduced that the man did not intend to keep either party alive and was able to warn his friends against complying. As a muggle among a group of godlike beings, Alex was often overshadowed by the power of his friends. However, it was Alex who usually devised plans, gathered intelligence, and collected data and maps that helped his group defeat the Empire. He often became the navigator and chose the route to follow despite the objections of others. His skills as a fighter noticeably improved as the team's quest continued, although it was usually his persistence rather than skill that allowed him to land a blow against opponents of superior skill, such as Albedo and Khyber. Alex employed other strategies to defeat larger enemies. He incapacitated Wan Shi Tong by using the element of surprise and attacking him from above. In that particular encounter, Alex's wit succeeded where Cornelius and Kryie powers had failed. It was also Alex who discovered that a red solar eclipse disables a kryptonian powers. When the resistance base fell, Alex devised a new invasion plan to strike the Empire on the Day of Red Sun with a group of his friends and allies. On the day of the battle, he came up with a strategy that allowed himself, Delsin, and Chun to bring down the entire Empire galactic fleet. One of his greatest triumphs, however, was his nearly single-handed defeat of Combustion Woman's by using his boomerang to hit the tattoo on his forehead to block the latter's chi flow. This action ultimately resulted in Combustion Woman's demise, something that the combined efforts of all his friends had failed to do. Alex's leadership skills evolved as the war ended. Initially, he assumed leadership of the group based on the fact that he was the experience, that he had some rudimentary training, and that his allies can childish at times. However, his bossy attitude infuriated his teammates. His skills were also undermined by his arrogance, and general coldness. However, Alex was usually willing to admit when he was wrong. This seemed to earn him the respect of several of the people he met and helped him grow as a warrior and as a person. As he and his friends continued their journey, Alex matured and referred to the group as a team. He also respected the opinions of others and, in turn, they considered his advice more seriously, even coming to rely on it.

**Leadership**: In part 1, Alex has always been criticized for his lack of cooperativeness, usually as a result of his overwhelming ego that prevents him from following the lead of others. However, thanks to Alex's very own determination, perfectionism, and intelligence, he is a capable leader should others decide to follow him instead. In part 2, he is the most driven of the team (sometimes to a fault) and is very good at focusing on his goal, having a one-track mind. He is well disciplined and exercises what he has learned from his parents onto his comrades, occasionally to the point of their aggravation - as Yuri said in during training, "[Alex] takes himself way too seriously." He is known for having great leadership, noticeably Team Blacklight and Team Omni. He is also a brilliant and experienced leader with superlative team skills, having served as leader of various teams. Additionally, Alex efforts to remain in contact with other heroes makes him a master at rallying, unifying, and inspiring others. Alex's most remarkable feature is his natural leadership. He shows these skills, quickly grasping the tactical situation, forming plans to work according to their advantages and counter possible threats. He's very aware of the capabilities of his team and is able to properly coordinate them into achieving feats that can give them the upper hand during an encounter. He has unparalleled and infallible skills of leadership, management, persuasion and manipulation. He has proven many times over his ability to command respect and inspire others with his charisma, ardor, and idealism. He has shown on several occasions to be a natural leader, when operating in groups, he commonly takes command, unless the group includes someone who he himself sees as a leader. He nearly always calls the shots, and acts as de facto leader. Alex also has a skill for motivation, and is a capable orator, being able to motivate others to remain strong and carry on, even in darkest moments, with mere words. This skill also allows him to inspire trust in others, something which comes in handy, when he has to explain the existence of the extraterrestrial and supernatural to non-believers. He has shown to be a capable leader himself. This is best shown by how he led the assault on the Negavian Men of Letters stronghold and won, despite the casualties suffered by his side, and how he is currently leading his own network of allies. A skilled strategist and a charismatic leader, Alex was able to draw a somewhat large amount of followers. He was capable of producing inspirational speeches as part of rallies for the Rebel Alliace, and would call his group together to initiate action against the Empire. As a leader, Alex has also displayed charisma and good public speaking. His speech to redeem the name of Felarya at his coronation was warmly embraced, not only by his own people but by people of the other planets as well. Despite a very tumultuous start, Alex eventually came to be regarded as an excellent, benevolent leader, with his actions in helping create Negav City being recognized for many years. As the President of Felarya, his word holds sway over all political and military issues that present themselves regarding Felarya and its inhabitants. Alex has a large amount of power over Felarya, serving as commander-in-chief of the entire military and the overseer of the Negavian Police Department, allowing him to prioritize certain police efforts.

He endured a long period of free-diving without proper equipment or stopping for air in the frigid waters of the North China Sea in order to find a shipwreck. He is a good swimmer, capable of navigating freezing waters and riptides. He practiced extensively on holding his breath. He is also a fantastic diver, leaping off platforms and performing swan dives. He also does salvage work and shows him to be SCUBA certified. Alex has displayed the ability to swim and fight in the water. He is also a good swimmer, thanks to his training from a retired Navy Seal. It did most of the job on helping him gain a large lung capacity since he could stay underwater for a rather long amount of time. He swims as fast as he 'free runs' and can swim for long periods of time and sink himself pretty deep. Alex is able to accomplish silent assassinations from the water by swimming out of it and dragging an enemy down before stabbing them or breaking their necks quickly. Water is his home and has always been where he is most comfortable. He learned to swim like an Atlantean as well, thus; Alex quickly learned how to propel himself our of the water, like an actual dolphin.

**Amphibious training**: Alex was trained in combat swimming, combat diving, underwater combat, and amphibious assault.

**Airborne Training**: As well as full HALO, HAHO,LAHO and LALO jump training, Alex has also been taught freefall, ecstatic, paragliding, and heliborne insertion.

**Riding/Horsemanship**: He is a exceptional horseback rider trained in riding conventional horses and winged horses in addition to other enchanted animals. During his time with plumbers, he learned to various ride various mounts from other planets such as Tauntaun, Dewback, Ronto, Varactyl, Narglatch, Kybuck, Dactillion, Cracian Thumper, Gelagrub, Bolotaur, Ukian Torbull, Eopie, Kaadu, Kalak, Maru, Ycaqt, Bantha, Rakazzak Beast, Rockhopper, Orray, Aiwha, Fenwolf, Bergruutfa, and many more.

**Medical knowledge**: Alex was trained in medicine and field surgery, and has extensive knowledge of how to treat wounds. Alex can patch up most injuries on himself or others, including bullet wounds, knowing much on human anatomy. From China, he learned pressure point manipulation, able to paralyze a person into a seemingly dead state and undo it. He appears to have some knowledge of human anatomy and physiology, as well as basic medicine and first aid, as he finished Jenny’s stitches on her stab wound. He stabbed Cassandra in her aorta so the latter would keep the blade in place or else she would die from bleeding out. He is very familiar with medicine, exotic poisons, and tranquilizers. Having studied under Dr. Taka, one of the finest doctors of the medically advanced in the world. Alex himself is an extraordinary doctor with outstanding knowledge of both medicine and medical drugs as well as the preparations of most remedies and ointments that can be made from regular fruits, herbs, roots, and vegetables that can be found and used on most islands. He is also capable of administering surgery and resuscitation. Overall, Alex can treat even the most brutal injuries, as shown when he managed to save Chun’s life, who was on the verge of death after he absorbed all of his pain and fatigue from Kiko’s Devil Fruit Powers. During the time he spent self-studying in the Venmys-Pieaug Library massive collection of books on herbalism in Negav, Alex’s knowledge of pharmacology have immensely increased. In Negav, Alex self studied many books of new and highly effective remedies, ointments, unknown herbs with great healing properties and other medicinal drugs that were developed by the inhabitants of a forgotten civilization which are largely unknown to the rest of the world. With this new understanding of medicinal drugs, combined with the medical skills he had already mastered in the Jungle Bowl, the scope of Alex’s healing skills as a doctor have become noticeably wider. The greatest example of this is during the Hybrid Arc, as Alex, with the assistance of the Mink Tribe's doctors, was able to use all of these skills to treat the gigantic, thousand year old Naga Zoey’s, whose leg was badly injured by the Beasts Pirates. He also easily created a cure for one of Felarya’s deadliest viruses, the Hybrid virus. In addition, while he was under the apprenticeship of Dr. Titus, Alex became aware of the highly addictive drug NHC10 (which only selected scientists in selected countries are allowed to use), and its harmful side effects. He is capable of stabilizing the condition of someone suffering from an overdose of the drug. Another testament to his intelligence was that he was also able to invent his very own drug known as the "Rumble Ball", through a little research, which helps to increase his fighting capabilities. He has also been shown being able to give successful blood transfusions (even between two different species: a human and a fish-man, though human and fish-men do carry the same blood), as he did to save the lives of both Alma and Angel, after too much blood loss (even knowing their correct blood type: Angel’s blood type being F (the same as most Nekos), and Alma’s blood type being S RH- (an unusually rare blood type)).

**Toxicology**: Alex is knowledgeable in various types of poisons; he was able determine a bullet which grazed him was laced with curare after analyzing his blood. From his analysis of various residues and such, Alex has also demonstrated considerable knowledge of chemistry. He has shown to be knowledgeable & skilled in chemistry/poison. He has been able to concoct poisons that can either kill them in seconds or simply incapacitate them. He has some experience in first aid, which he learned during his time working as a barmaid. He was able to treat Angel’s leg which had been mauled by a pack of wolves. He was also able to tend to his own wounds which he received on the island of Yamatai. Upon him being in Siberia, he was able to utilize herbs in order to heal extensive physical injuries that he received. He was even able to craft Poison Arrows from mushrooms found around Siberia. He uses poison effectively as a supplementary attack and he always has poison powder or paste ready for battle. He can also use suffocating poison smoke to flush out demons from buildings. His knowledge was such that he even proposed instructing two ninja girls on how to create a poisonous mist powder that could drive away demons after he declined on teaching them demon slaying.

**Chemical Engineering**: Miles away from civilization, he can craft and create useful chemical products on the fly. In addition to creating medicinal salves from berries, he can create fungi-based poisons in the Siberian wilderness that apparently asphyxiate victims, choking them out. In Peru he harvests poison from blister beetles and Brazilian wandering spiders to make potent nerve gases and hallucinogenic drugs. On Yamatai, he built arrows using napalm, the horrendous sticky incendiary. And to top it all off, he masters the recipe for Greek Fire, one of history's most notorious substances and a secret thought lost to history.

**Cartography Expertise**: Alex is a highly skilled navigator and a extremely talented cartographer. Terry considered his skills on par with the fish-men "superiority" since they were superior to any fish-man's. When Hugo destroyed his room at Negav both bathymetric and geographic maps were seen, proves that Alex has a wide variety of cartographic skills. He is capable of formulating advanced equations in mere minutes to predict a precise course of action, although he usually needs to write the equations down on a physical medium when formulating them. He has a supernatural ability to sense changes in the weather, "with his body" according to Vito, and can even predict the emergence of supposedly unpredictable cyclones in the Grand Line, undeterred even by a high fever. This ability, combined with his years of knowledge in cartography and navigation, has also made Alex an expert in meteorology. Not only he has been shown to continuously and accurately predict various normal weather conditions, but he is also capable of predicting and handling the almost unnatural, unpredictable, and inexplicable weather conditions of the Topazial sea, being more than capable in navigating through these conditions.

**Master of deception/Manipulator**: Alex can be very deceptive, effectively convincing all that he is not a vigilante for months through various carefully designed ruses, even fooling a lie-detector test when interrogated by the police. Alex has a taste for deception and psychological manipulation. As a result, most of his fights end up in his favor without having him to physically fight and beat down his opponent. He also has an habit of setting up traps for his enemies. Alex even arranged for Salva to lose his job at Carandiru Penitentiary by stabbing himself while making it look like Salva was the perpetrator. He is skilled at psychological warfare, using his enemies' plans against them all while feigning defeat. Despite his skills, he prefers to avoid fights if he can. He is skilled at getting people to back down without resistance and will often let people go when they do and he is able to avoid allowing conflicts to escalate any further as seen when he was able to call a truce with Vlad Tarasov. His stoic and professional personality allows him to maintain contacts within the superhero community who are willing to come to his aid when needed. His strong sense of honor also means he makes a point of not allowing innocent people to get caught in the crossfire of his work. He possesses a good deal of knowledge in psychology, and is a skilled manipulator, being able to conceive others with simple words and facial expressions. He is also a capable leader and a master strategist, capable of creating plans with ease and even outmatch brains like those of Azmuth, being several steps ahead of his opponent. He is an excellent con artist and negotiator. These skills are often more useful than his fighting skills. He faces most of his challenges relying primarily on his cunning. Even with pressure, lack of time and preparation, He can think of a strategy to defeat his enemies in a fight, letting him outwit both Heaven and Hell while striking fear into them. Perhaps the most astounding skill he has is that he is a skilled con artist and orator. He has often used his status as a hero to sway the hearts of the human populace to gain benefits for both him and his friends. He does so by often lying that the richest dwelling in the vicinity has enemies for him to beat. He does this so often that his own friends were astonished that he spoke the truth when there really was a villain in the house that he defeated. He possesses a monstrous charisma and an inhuman prowess for manipulation. He is highly proficient at analysis and deduction, especially when it comes to the human psyche, and can instantly gain direct access to people's cores, hitting their weak spots, acknowledging their worth, and figuring out their mental processes, and manipulate them easily thereafter. He possess innate understanding/knowledge of psychology. He understand how the mind works to the smallest details. Allows him to detect lies, and perform perfect cold-readings. He can use it for various purposes, often changing the perception or behavior of others through underhanded, deceptive, even abusive tactics. He could use it to help those with mental or emotional problems, but instead he use it to manipulate others into doing his bidding, even drive some to acts of murder or suicide. What he is especially good at is unlocking the "monster" in other people, bringing out their inner darkness and making them accept it like he has. He does not feel fear, guilt, regret, loneliness or pain. Alex leaves such a strong impression on people that he is able to convince legions to do whatever he wants, such as commit murder, play suicide games, or do other monstrous things after just a single encounter. According to Heinrich, this process is done by altering the fulcrum of someone's identity, like removing a map's coordinate axis. The more jumbled their "lines" become without that foundation, the more room he has to redraw or redefine their maps. He is a very eloquent speaker, orator, and story-teller, by nature he is incredibly persuasive and charming. Able to bring anyone to understand and feel for his viewpoint, even large audiences.

**Glare**: Alex has the ability to instill fear into his targets by doing his trademark glare. This is usually used for interrogation and usually has one of three effects on the target: They become petrified with fear, they become aggressive or they don't react at all.

**Lie Detecting**: Alex self taught himself the ability to detect if someone is lying. This works most of the time but can fail if his targets know how to counter this. This ability is usually followed by a glare during interrogation. He studies the targets body language and facial expressions to deduce if they are lying to him or not.

**Keen Perception**: Alex is amazingly good at reading people's fears and real motives with just a look, as well as the reason they are how they are. He proves this many times by reading people. He also quickly finds out about his father’s den, but decides to keep it a secret. However, he is usually good at this only when he gets serious. Alex is a master of observation, able to scan an environment and quickly appraise it for guards, valuables, and other points of interest. His knowledge of the art and appraisal means he can quickly pinpoint items worth stealing. After training, this is further enhanced by his visual prowess. This heightens his senses to supernatural levels. These senses allow him to highlight points of interest in the environment, slow his perception of time, and see visual representations of noises, internal lock mechanisms, and frequently trafficked areas.

**Resourcefulness**: He has shown to be very resourceful, using salvage found around various parts of Yamatai to improve his weapons. This is shown clearly when he discovers a metal rod in a nearby bunker when searching for a way to light the fuel to signal the plane, strapping it to his torch to remove his reliance on lit objects. Another example is when he uses a nearby grenade launcher to kill a Solarii at the burning stronghold, later strapping it to his assault rifle. He is also able to use her environment, throwing dirt to stun foes, and use rocks to bludgeon them. He learned how to pick locks, using nothing more than a hair pin. He even learned the formula for Greek Fire. Alex demonstrates an enormous capacity to acquire wealth and material for himself through hunting, scavenging, fishing, crafting, gambling, robbing, looting, loan collecting, and various other means. This serves as ample testimony to Alex’s resourcefulness, as he can prove able and willing to produce far greater quantities of money, food, medicine, herbs, pelts, stolen items, contraband, and other goods.

**Weapon Improvisation**: Alex can make a weapon out of anything. A pipe, a stick, even a belt. He'll either build a makeshift weapon or pick something right off the ground. He can use rocks as projectiles and heavy metal objects for heavy hitting blows. In addition to his impressive skills with firearms, knives and other standard weapons, he is very good at using whatever is in his immediate area as an offensive weapon, as seen when he dispatched two men with a couple of pencils, when he killed a much larger opponent with a book, and when he used a belt to fend off two master knife-fighters. He has manufactured his own bow, fletched his own arrows, modified his ammo and customized firearms with scraps. He sharpened a blade from a plane propeller into a lethal combat knife. Also a master of improvised explosives, he has fashioned Molotov cocktails, smoke grenades, and shrapnel grenades.

**Crafting**: A master of salvage, he can create whatever gear he desires, even sewing his own outfits from the skins of jaguars and bears. Alex is a highly skilled and experienced hunter, tanner and forager, capable of crafting saddles, outfits, articles of clothing, pouches, armor and weapons out of the animals he killed while out in the Felaryan wilderness. Alex is a seasoned hunter and warrior, and has experience with handling and crafting Stone Age weaponry such as daggers, clubs, spears, shards, slings, traps, and bows and arrows. He was also capable of creating ballistic or non-lethal weapons from 3D printers and has made homemade weapons that he learned from the internet. He was also able to manufacture drones, each possessing unique qualities.

**Smithery**: Alex is a reasonably skilled blacksmith in his own right, having repaired damage to his Proto-tool and Element Guns on several occasions and helped forge other weapons.

**Anatomy**: Alex precisely aims headshots and can target the hearts and other internal organs. Due to reading the book about the Nabong Needle Ryu Alex is quite knowledgeable about the human anatomy. This is shown when he can find the weak points on an enemies body, can seal blood flow inside his enemies body for internal attacks, can remove limiters on his body for stats boost or seal his pain receptors.

**Helmsmanship**: As someone who is very familiar with the sea, Alex is a masterful helmsman, as shown when he steered a stolen battleship from Chioita city to Negav with little to no damage being inflicted on the stolen ship at all. He managed to skillfully steer the Diamond Neko on his first try and even rode the ship within the 'Green Hell sea' of the gigantic wave a water elemental created, using his Tacking skills. Angel’s described Alex’s skills as a helmsman as if he were controlling the ship like his own body. Alex has a vast knowledge of sea currents that greatly aids his helmsman skills, as he was able to constantly keep out of range of one of the Pirates fleets when it was pursuing the Mermaids. He also managed to effortlessly steer the Diamond Neko’s to evade Susanoo’s flying slash with great speed and maneuverability.

**Advanced Pedagogy**: Alex is a naturally talented teacher and has taught survival and combat tactics to a woman who was the verge of dying in the Felaryan jungle, which payed off in the end. He has also has proven himself a very talented teacher, able to push his students development by months, if not years, in just weeks or days through various innovative methods. Given the number of students that he's taught, Alex is adroit in training students in any of the many styles that he knows. He was able to single-handedly teach multiple academic subjects and produce impressive results from his students of Team 10. His incredible mentality combined with his speed also allow him to multitask on up to dozens of jobs at a time, all of which seemingly being done simultaneously. He has repeatedly proven to be a very talented teacher, as all his students went on to become very powerful and well-known fighters in Felarya and even beyond. As a teacher, Alex is encouraging and supportive. He prizes an individual's own inventiveness when channeled appropriately, far more than his own ideas. He emphasizes thought over force and clever ideas over direct results. Alex wants those who learn from his to see how problems can be solved in many ways in addition to seeing how they can help others and do not always have to solve the problem on their own. As a teacher, Alex pulls from many traditions encompassing his own history of learning and the myriad teachers he had. He can be harsh when needed, and also understanding and patient, calling on the lessons of his uncle. Alex wants his students to understand that they needed to own, apologize, and make up for their own errors, and that taking in the whole of the world and all its differences and complexity would help them find their own balance. He takes note of any caring, clever, cunning, and curious would-be student, and if he can find the time, he tries to teach such students what they need to learn. If he is unable to find the time, he tries to connect students with other worthy teachers. As a teacher, Alex never raises his voice or loses his cool. He is detailed, specific, and patient. He particularly shines when working with "problem students" other teachers cannot reach, as he works with them for as long as it takes for him to find a creative solution. He focuses on supporting others and finding quieter, calmer, less direct or forceful solutions to problems. Alex has trained multiple members of his family and students in a wide variety of subjects, including martial arts and investigation.

**People Reading/Discernment**: Alex developed the ability to read people's expressions, intentions, and most of their actions' reasons with ease as a result of his training. There are occasions when he can detect if a person is lying or not being entirely truthful, such when Robin was plotting with Kid Flash. After practice, this ability later evolves, now allowing Alex to analyze a person's state of mind simply by looking at them, being described as "wavelengths" or "wavelengths of consciousness" of people that represent their breathing, line of sight, facial expression, body language and more. This allows him to find a person's "gap in consciousness" or "openings" where they let their guard down, as well as their "peak in consciousness", which is the state of mind that happens when a person is highly susceptible to outside stimuli such as the Clap Stunner, which he has made effective use of in different ways, from stunning enemies before attacking them to simple, almost trivial things such as being able to remove a size label from clothing without the person wearing it noticing, etc.

**Martial Talent**: Even crippled, Alex is still the most powerful and talented member of a family born to practice martial arts, his inhuman physical abilities give him an incredible talent that allows him to easily master any martial art he practices, reaching and exceeding the level of his masters in less than a year.

**Adoptive Muscle Memory**: He also has the amazing ability to memorize and effectively use new martial arts techniques after having only experienced/see them once in battle, as demonstrated by copying Silla and Arang from his sensei. And even more incredibly, he can create entirely original techniques as counters after suffering a technique only once in the very same battle.

**Body Reading Ability**: Alex has the advanced ability to read body language enabling him to read what people are thinking and tell what they are going to do next before they do it. He has been shown able to read opponents far faster than himself, along with non-humans and even alien lifeforms once he is given a chance to learn their body language. This enables him to identify disguised and transformed people as well. Due to his upbringing Alex can pinpoint weak spots in every opponent he faces, this also allows him to read body language very well and predicts an opponents movements. Alex can analyze an opponent's body condition and fighting styles. He was able to tell Ben had a damaged rib because he was subconsciously protecting it.

**Enhanced Combat Perception**: His precognition and enhanced visual senses make him uniquely perceptive in a fight, able to react to attacks faster than normally possible, detect weak points, and slow down his perception to catch flying projectiles. Under the training of Tsunemoto and Lady Shiva, Alex has developed an acumen to predicting his foes’ moves in battle, body movement and shifts in the air. Has developed a sixth sense that can warn him of danger. Can deduce how a fight can play out in a thousand different ways. Also has shown he’s capable of having prophetic visions from the past, present & future, after the Thögal ritual. After receiving training from a Mongolian Pastoralist, Alex learned how to read the environment, to feel the subtle shifts in the Earth, in temperatures and the changing in the wind. He has even had a prophetic dream vision of the future, of his son fighting Leon.

**Lips-reading and Speed Reading**: He taught himself lip-reading and speed reading, plus developing total recall combined with his genius level intellect and prodigious talent was able to ease through college having only taken the courses he needed then moved on.

**Parkour**: Alex was a very skilled freerunner from a young age, having been trained by his parents. He also learned how to freerun under the tutelage of his older brother, and was able to move quickly and efficiently in sprinting, climbing, and jumping. Alex has always been a kid that likes to run and climb things. During his travels around the world, he travelled to France to learn both Freerunning and Parkour, becoming a master at it, which helped him transverse or evade enemies. He is very maneuverable and graceful, able to chase and outrun enemies through various terrains with no wasted effort or time, even scaling buildings and running from rooftop to rooftop with ease. In battle, He is proven very agile and evasive, able to fluidly dodge attacks from multiple directions with coordinated flips, twists, and sharp turns without losing balance. He became a skilled freerunner, being able to climb trees and swing from one to another, as well as scale cliff faces or other natural elements. He could move through the cityscape just as easily and was able to slide under or vault over obstacles within urban environments. He has proven to be a skilled freerunner, as with his speed and agility he can sprint far distances uninterrupted as well as performing various forms of parkour, allowing him to scale and vault over several obstacles with relative ease. He can combine various combinations with his range of skills and arsenal of weaponry which ultimately make him an incredibly unpredictable and deadly threat, earning him the title of "The Vigilante". He is physically able to climb up any kind of buildings, having the same freerunning and parkour abilities. Upon landing on Felarya, his parkour skills has increased even further, learning more advance techniques from various Neko tribes and Evior, a former member of the Felaryan Assassin brotherhood. Despite his advancing years, Alex's skill and speed as a freerunner increased significantly, being aware of all of his surroundings as well as planning his next move very quickly and carefully, as observed by his son, Noctis. A talented freerunner, Alex is able to traverse the obstacles of urban terrain with relative ease, his agility, speed, and athleticism aiding him greatly in reaching high-scale areas and destinations. His freerunning has also improved significantly, allowing him to briskly traverse the urban environments of the Isles. With his natural and supernatural abilities, he can easily scale high-rising structures as well.

**Thieving Skills**: He is a master of infiltration and breaking into ancient and modern buildings. He operates outside any laws to accomplish his goals.

**Lock Picking**: Alex can use lock picks to doors and windows silently when he was in grade school. He uses conventional lockpick sets to open lockers, lockboxes, and treasure chests. He also picked a set of handcuffs with a bobby pin. He can pick a handcuff locks in a few seconds, and can even pick a lock with his mouth. He was taught how to pick many different locks, including those on cars and safes. He broke the lock on Mount Justice. Alex picked a lock to get into an A.I.M. hideout. While disguised as a henchmen he opens a death trap vault designed to kill Superboy using a lock pick. He is also an expert lock picker, able to bypass locks with great precision.

**Pickpocket**: Alex can take a criminal's wallet without getting caught. He pinched an explosives detonator off of Martin without his noticing. He has also proven herself to be an excellent thief and a master pickpocket. He is able to take small items, such as keys, without his victims noticing, a skill he honed from a young age. His most notable thieving feat was shown just before he left his town. At the harbor, he stole numerous wallets from the villagers saying goodbye to him while he was running past them, and among the villagers and no one noticed until she revealed what he had done. He uses this skill to steal from pirates, and occasionally government employees, more often than not sneaking aboard their ship or base and taking all their valuables while they are distracted by some fight. His skill at thievery has even been recognized by the Isolon Fist and has earned him the epithet “Shadow” Alex's hands are his greatest asset. After a lifetime of thievery experience, he is able to pick pockets with startling efficiency. He's able to remove jewelry and coin purses from an individual at blinding speed without them being any wiser.

**Infiltration**: Anyone who can break into (and out of) a Soviet gulag camp has some serious skills when it comes to sneaking into places.

**Forced Entry**: He can bust open doors and barriers using a climbing axe and a crowbar.

**Eavesdropping**: Alex can listen in on private conversations and communications of others without getting caught.

**Micro Sleep**: Alex has mastered the art of power-naps and evolved it into what he calls micro sleep. Although these sleeps are longer in duration (1 hour), they would be more replenishing and much harder to wake up from. Alex has also been shown to be capable of going up to almost 80 hours with no sleep at all. Alex has also been shown to be capable of going over 4 days with no sleep at all. Alex has mastered the art of REM Sleep and has compressed the normal eight hours of sleep required by a regular human being into three hours of deep sleep. Alex also practices the art of micro sleeping where he dozes off for a few minutes when nobody’s looking. Alex can keep on doing this for days. A normal human being would have gone insane but not him.

**Ambidexterity**: Alex has been shown to have skill in using both of his left and right hand equally without choosing a dominate one. Alex is a cross dominant, skillfully wielding tools and weapons in either hand, in human or alien form.

**Nervous System Control**: Due to his martial arts and meditation experience, He can control his nervous system enabling him to deaden his body to physical pain, control his emotions, and even his bleeding rate. Alex's training included mental discipline which makes him more resistant to mind control, as well as giving him a limited control of his body's functions, such as being able to control vomiting or being nauseous.

**Muscle and Joint Control**: Due to his martial arts and meditation experience, Alex can dislodge his joints at will and in the blink of an eye, an ability that enables him to escape from most ties. An instance is given when he dislodged his shoulders, elbows, wrists and fingers to free himself from metal bars. Alex has excellent control over her muscles, preventing Haung's hand from reaching his vitals and then keeping it in place. He seems to be able to close his injuries by contracting her muscles, with no blood appearing on his clothes even though his chest was pierced. One of the several assassination arts passed down to Alex through his family consists in adjusting the anatomy of his hand; his fingernails turn into claws that are sharper than knives, with which Alex can tear humans apart as well as rip out a heart with frightening ease. He is capable of altering both hands at the same time.

**Master Contortionist**: Due to his intense and advance training, Alex is a master contortionist. He can perform the most complicated bending and stretching maneuvers at almost any angle or direction, including frontbending (the art of folding himself forward at the waist with his legs straight, or placing one or both of his legs behind the neck or shoulders with the knees bent (called a human knot). He can also pass his body through a ring or barrel while in a forward fold), backbending (the art of touching her head to his feet, or all the way to the buttocks (called a head-seat), while standing, lying on the floor, or in a handstand), splitting (the art of splitting and extending his legs to become parallel to the torso of his body), the art of enterology (squeezing his body into a tightly confined area), and dislocation (the art of dislocating his shoulders or hit joints).

**Hypnotism**: Alex has shown to be a skilled hypnotist, although his ability to dominate – even by stare and voice alone – has been shown to be far more pronounced than an average hypnotist. He is so skilled that, he once hypnotized himself to prevent himself from giving out any information to CIA at the age of 12. He can hypnotize anyone and command them to do anything he pleases.

**Ventriloquism**: Alex can changes his voice so that it appears his voice is coming from elsewhere.

**Prestidigitation**: He is a greatly skilled illusionist, therefore performing extraordinary tricks and incredible illusions on stage is super simple to him. Alex was taught sleight of hand by an unknown magician as part of his training to kill Vilgax.

**Educated and knowledgeable of mob mentality**: Alex's knowledge and excommunication from the Church has made him very aware of the dangers of mob mentality, as well as being resistant to it. A lifetime of being the scapegoat for problems has taught him how to avoid the threat his fellow citizens pose to him. His experience helped him protect the idealistic speakers from the Church and the mob as he was able to anticipate the worst. Alex is a cynical man, perhaps because he has seen what lies can do to those who believe them. He is skeptical of fantastical beliefs, sometimes to a fault as in the case of the "Sleeping Warrior" story.

**Master Word-Player**: Alex is phenomenally skilled with wordplay to the point that he has the idiosyncratic ability to reveal things that he is aware of so subtly that even the most intelligent individuals could only realize what he means if he wants them to, with him being able to openly and flaunt his knowledge to their faces while hiding the true meanings so well so as to make even people as perceptive as Hanzo and Senator Goodwitch ignorant, with him employing witty, occasionally transpositional, puns, malapropisms, discreet black humor, and layered pop-culture references.

**Master Literarian**: Alex Macgrath, as a famous bibliophile, has an encyclopedic knowledge of literary works, possessing vast quantities of books in his own private study, with him being particularly well-versed in American pop-culture, notably hosting a fundraiser for the Negavian Public Library, his knowledge of the works of the library being acknowledged to the point of being famously recognized as a true friend of said library, and making numerous layered references to various books in conversation, including "The Midnight Ride," "Alice in Wonderland," "Lolita" and the "Wizard of Oz."

**Expert networker**: Alex, as an influential businessman, experienced vigilante, and interrogator, superbly uses a dense network of professional and social contacts to further both his business and superhero ambitions. This is notable through his influence of the police, other companies, powerful intelligence agencies, and certain prisons.

**Expert social intuit**: Alex has a great degree of social confidence, making him highly skilled in intuitively determining how to interact with others, gain their respect and get his point across with a calmness, eloquence, and charisma that sometimes belie his actual, usually gloomy, emotional state.

**Highly Influential Connections**: As the President of Felarya, Alex has access to a vast collection of magical artifacts, technological and military hardware, as well as the support of his nation's wide array of scientists, politicians, and military.

**Diplomatic Immunity**: As the leader of a sovereign nation, he often visits other planets or the Galactic Union for political reasons. He enjoys diplomatic immunity during these trips, and his embassy is considered foreign soil.

**Substantial Wealth**: As a president of Felarya, Alex is considered Royalty, thus he has access to a vast amount of wealth due to the advanced technology he has created/invented, and the stores of resources possessed by his country. His wealth surpasses that of Raphel Machiavelli, whose net worth is in the Sextillions. Alex has an almost limitless amount of funding and resources as well as a huge arsenal of militaristic weaponry, militaristic vehicles, high-tech drones, militaristic combat gadgetry and many other advanced technologies. It is, however, unknown where or when he obtained such resources, though it is assumed that the Revolutionary Army gained funding from their mercenary work.

**Business Management**: Alex is also a capable businessman despite his young age, having been trained by both sides of the family in the way of controlling a company with an iron grip. Even as a young boy he knows that in business there are wars and even in war there are assassins. Alex is involved with the board members alongside his older brother. He even intimidated the board members by tracking down financial irregularities within the accounts. At the age of ten, Alex took over Macgrath Enterprises and Nikolayevna Industries due to his parents' death, thereby becoming the youngest CEO of a Fortune 500 Company in history. However, he lost his will to the company due to Shareholders and Executives and didn't regain control of his family's company until he was 15 years old. After the taking full control of the company, he led Macgrath Enterprises and Nikolayevna Industries through a difficult phase of reorganization and poor relations, yet ultimately succeeded in rebuilding it. He is a hands-on-leader, preferring to work alongside and with his employees as well as involving himself in his company's research projects. Since then, Alex helped the company grow, and gain more business partners, with Macgrath Enterprises and Nikolayevna Industries eventually becoming the largest tech conglomerate in the world under his leadership. Alex has extensive skills and experience in business management, has thorough understanding of financial marketing and management and is often seen as a example of a successful industrialist and businessman. He is extremely well-respected in the business world, able to command people's attentions when he speaks on economic matters by virtue of the fact that he is savvy enough to have, over the years, built up several multi-million dollar companies from virtually nothing. He is known for the loyalty he commands from and returns to those who work for him, as well as his impeccable business ethics. He also strives to be environmentally responsible in his businesses, and in one case, immediately fired an employee who made profitable (but illegal) sales to criminals. He states that if he wanted to, he could give away his entire fortune and build it up again within a week. Alex most notably turned a small munitions firm into a multi-national corporation that covered virtually all contemporary scientific industry when barely in his mid teens. While under the guise of Mr.Knightmare, Alex ran the Outlander Club, Galaxies Opera House, Coruscant Opera, BlasTech Gikosphere, and Umbra Club for a short time. By the time of adulthood, Macgrath Enterprises and Nikolayevna Industries has become a galactic corporation with HQs spread out through various galaxies and star systems with its main HQ in Negav, Felarya.

**Weapons and Equipment**:

**Omnitrix**: Alex is the wielder of the Omnitrix, rumored to be the most powerful weapon in the universe. It is a watch-like device that allows him to modify his own genetic code in order to become one of 1,000,000,000 alien species from across the Omniverse. Alex has complete mastery over the device and all of his transformations. He is very instinctive, using whatever he is given in almost any moment to his advantage. When he was younger, he would often become a different transformation than what he originally intended to use, but found ways to make them useful most of the time until he learned not to hit the dial too hard or just switching between alien forms. Because of his experience, Alex knows all about its functions so he has the potential to use any model of the Omnitrix more effectively than anyone else. Traditionally, he could only transform into ten aliens at the beginning of part 1, but he later gains additional forms by either unlocking them or by scanning the DNA of aliens he meets as time processes. When transforming into an alien, Alex gets all the creature's features, including its appearance, voice, all of its unique, special abilities, powers, strengths and weaknesses. Though he mostly retains his personality, there are some cases where the transformation causes a change in it, like with Rath and Juryrigg. The Omnitrix transforms Alex into the healthiest physical and mental peak of that species' potential, but only relative to his age. At age 10, he became a 10 year old Tetramand, at age 16, a 16-year-old Tetramand, and so on. The Omnitrix has a way of transferring any exercise that is performed by the alien forms to Alex’s body. This does not mean that if Alex were to use Four Arms to lift a car that Alex would gain exercise equivalent to Alex lifting a car, but that Alex would gain the level of exercise that Four Arms did, so he still has to push himself, even when using a strong alien. Alex transforms to not only an adult version of the species but also the prime example (the smartest, strongest, healthiest and most powerful being) regarding on what age he is such as transforming into a Male Tetramand will turn him the strongest member of the race and strong enough to defeat the strongest females despite the fact that female tetramands are the better warriors. The specific transformations Alex becomes also carry unique traits exclusive to Alex, but consistent enough with the original alien to be a plausible member of the selected species. Alex does not become an exact copy of the alien's DNA Sample, but a version of what he would be like had he been originally born as that alien. When becoming an alien, the Omnitrix implements the alien's basic instincts and abilities into Alex’s mind when his DNA temporarily merges with the alien. This allows him to get a feel for the transformation capabilities, but after some time in that form, Alex is usually able to push his transformations beyond their limit and use their abilities in creative and combative ways. This feature is very useful when Alex transforms into a new alien. He prefers to use aliens that have an advantage over his opponents, like using Upgrade or Lodestar against robots, and Articguana or Water Hazard to fight against fire enemies. In part 2, he begins using aliens affiliated with a martial art he is using, like Four Arms and Rath for wrestling. The Omnitrix is capable of scanning the DNA of any species not contained within its database in order to add them to its database and allow a transformation of that species, it is also able to scan the multiple groups of DNA contained with hybrids of two or more different species. That includes species with no Biological DNA Like Galvanic Mechmorphs, Anodites, Fulminis, and Gems will be accessible by creating transformation forms. The Omnitrix can accept interdimensional, Magical, Unusual Entities, Energy Beings, Cryptids (Semi Sapient at maximum), and Cybernetically-enhanced beings that the Omnitrix didn't accepted at first, contumelia being too dimension for the Omnitrix's "Blood". The Omnitrix has a built in DNA Scanner that can scan other alien species that is not from the Milkyway Galaxy, the Omnitrix can collect a sample of DNA (such hair, blood, bone fiber even living cells for extinct aliens) then it will devour it to pure liquid of DNA and the sample get collected, the Omnitrix will not allow Alex to transform until it scans the alien but it will instant reactive and if the alien is possessed then it will remove the possessor with thousands of volt of electricity removing it from the victim's body. If Alex scan the DNA of an extinct species when time travelling it will not be affected thanks to some feedback of the DNA Samples of the aliens with time manipulation. The Omnitrix has several different modes that provide various different functions. These modes can range from simply hiding the Omnitrix from others view or adjusting its shape and appearance for other uses such as physical combat or ranged attacks. In addition to the primary transformations, the Omnitrix can both be used for various purposes. It has a built in GPS, Digital Watch, Communication, Voice Recorder, Voice Email, Email Notifications (via hologram), Universal Translator, Flashlight, Distress Signal, Homing Device, and Camera (via hologram). It has a built-in Universal Translator that allows Alex to communicate with most aliens that don't speak English. It can alter Alex's Language from any species even if the species have multiple languages (such as Chinese, Spanish, French, and Korean) and it can translate the most complex writing in the universe. The Omnitrix is Water, Fire, Explosion, Acid, Pressure, and Bullet Proof, the device generate a energy field that make it nigh indestructible (but that can use up energy). The Omnitrix can also repair itself if damaged. The Omnitrix displayed the ability to manipulate and repair genetic damage, a function he used to cure the Klyntar and save the Saiyans and kryptonians from extinction. Azmuth also mentioned that Alex could use the Omnitrix to bring back to life any species stored on the Omnitrix database. If Alex is hurt by a wound, the Omnitrix will transform him into an alien that can heal it. The Omnitrix also has a failsafe to help prevent Alex from dying. If Alex is in mortal danger and the Omnitrix is in recharge mode, it will automatically go into active mode. The Omnitrix has a failsafe to transform Alex into an alien in an emergency. This can also manifest as unlocking a transformation he doesn't have access to in order to save his life. When Alex's life is in jeopardy then the Omnitrix will chain to every alien until the right alien to survive the situation (it can even survive the big bang) and it can keep him from dying via age and will change Alex into any age he wants via will (but this is not infinite). It has a HUD, showing the alien, its planet and even let's him pick the specific sub species of said race. It seems to be alive, comprised of organic metal and plant-like tissue and it is able to act on its own to a limited degree, like saving Alex (moreso itself) from mortal danger by changing Alex into a suitable form for the situation (i.e. Bombardeer if caught in an explosion). It is slightly protected from magic and grants transformations immunity to possession due to enchantments, and magic wielding transformations like Kathoom or Terraspin get bolstered mystical ability. Transformations can last for up to an hour or more, with the exception of Codon Stream aliens which only last for a few minutes. Massive displays of power can also timeout the Omnitrix. The primary color of the Omnitrix is red, timeout color is Green, DNA processing color is Yellow. Transformation playlists come in sets of 10, with 12 playlists. Playlists must be changed manually, but Alex can automatically transform into aliens within a selected playlist using simple controls on the palm. The Omnitrix can generate clothing for applicable species that are black and red unstable molecule uniforms usually reflective of a species’ culture. Since finding the Omnitrix when he was 10 years old, Alex has grown very proficient and adept in the use of the Omnitrix. He effectively become one with the Omnitrix. As he mastered the Omnitrix, more abilities were revealed, such as different modes and traits. The Omnitrix has a Watch Mode, where it takes on the appearance of a human time piece, able to determine and display many different things including; time, location, communication and even translation. By tapping twice on the dial, one activates the Omntrix which unfurls and envelops the forearm. He can then use the palm controls to select his desired transformation. Originally, Alex would have to change playlists with the dial itself, but he mastered the Omnitrix to the point that he can now select aliens with a thought. The Omnitrix has a Dormant Mode, which Alex refers to as “Tattoo Mode”, where the Omnitrix hides within Alex's body to prevent attention being drawn to it. This allows Alex to immerse himself into a situation without worrying that someone will recognize the Omnitrix. While in Tattoo Mode, the Omnitrix becomes unresponsive and cannot be extracted or removed from body by any means, unless activated by Alex. The Omnitrix is able to reabsorb all of the components that were once part of it, the Omnitrix is also capable of absorbing materials and substances that weren't originally part of it in order to improve some of its existing functions even further making it more powerful. The Omnitrix has an AI that provides to the Omnitrix that correlates to its various features and functions. The Omnitrix is also tuned to Alex's DNA so that only he can use it. It also accelerates his human body's healing, as well as making him immune to disease. Whenever Alex is badly injured, the Omnitrix will activate to heal his bruises and wounds but will deplete its energy source. It even can helped healing the aliens' damaged DNAs. The color is blue. It also has an interdimensional connection function where even if it is somehow removed, it will shift through dimensions and replace itself upon Alex's wrist, even regrowing his arm if need be. The way this works is that the Omnitrix is always physically connected to Alex's DNA by physically phasing through space and time. Because of this, even if for example an enemy were holding the Omnitrix in their hand 2000 feet away, or 20 miles away, or in a whole other world, Alex would still be able to transform and use the Omnitrix through voice command, while his foe wouldn't be able to use the Omnitrix even if they placed it on their wrist. The Omnitrix is also immune and safeguarded against magic, though the same can't 'quite' be said for Alex's alien forms and human form. The device also has extended his lifespan by an unknown amount of decades or possibly centuries, which can extend to those who spend time around him for extended periods. The Omnitrix also possesses a Self Destruct feature, however, it can rebuild itself instantly after self destructing as long as Alex is the one telling it to. The Omnitrix also possesses an intense bio-lock feature that is near infallible, being only usable by Alex. Removal of the Omnitrix causes the device to instantly reappear on his wrist by shifting dimensions, even regrowing his arm if necessary, doing so through a DNA map scan of his body. The AI is so advanced that even trying to mimic Alex's DNA (Albedo) cannot so much as trick the device. It can act as a digital encyclopaedia of species. It has another new feature which allows Alex to gain access to the galaxy-wide internet called the Extranet, allowing Alex to have limited access to videos (mostly to gather information on bounties) or the news or searching up history or forums. It also has a Disaster Scenario Calculator that uses some of the same theoretical creation phenomenon functions that the Ultimatrix Evolver function does. This allows Alex to look at various universally threatening scenarios where the Omnitrix predicts the best solution with over a million deadly scenarios calculated in its data banks. The Omnitrix also has an Auto Emergency Transformation feature, allowing Alex to transform into an immune alien when a threat to his human body is detected. For example if he's tossed into an incinerator, he would be automatically transformed into Heatblast. It only functions like this with Alex's human form however. And it will lock Alex in the alien form if it detects that the threat is long lasting, so Alex might be stuck as NRG for an hour after entering a Radioactive area like Chernobyl. The Omnitrix also has a Threat Detection Adaptation protocol, meaning that it learns from scenarios around it, even ones involving eldritch gods, time distortions and the like, and then adapts when it assumes that any of these could be a threat to its functionality. For this reason, after its last Mana overload incident, the Omnitrix is immune to mana interference, it was also boosted in this feature by Azmuth during the events of part 2 to allow it resist magic by foes such as Old Ones and Outer Gods. It also became immune to Time Reversal or Looping during the event, allowing it to retain its magic Resistance even after the world kept on rewinding as well as retaining any new aliens that might possibly pop up. It was this feature that saved the Radiant Seven as it allowed Hanzo to bind everybody's memories to the Omnitrix during the time loop, letting all of Alex's allies remember every loop. In part 2, he unlocked Omni-Kix which uses enhancements that has high tech armor that amplifies his aliens' abilities. Alongside Omni-Kix, he unlocks Omni-Naut, which allow his aliens to survive in the vacuum of space. For aliens with a natural space survivability, the armors give him added protection. Besides space, Omni-Naut Armors can also be used while in aquatic environments. The helmets have a high-tech holographic interface that analyzes what is in front of it, highlighting the figure in a constellation-like outline. Omni-Naut Armored aliens are able to activate and deactivate his jetpacks at will. In part 3, he unlocked the Ultimatrix feature, which is referred as an "evolutionary function", that allowed Alex to evolve his alien forms in order to get upgraded versions of them, referred to as Ultimate Forms. Alongside the Ultimatrix feature, he also unlocked the Biomnitrix feature, which allows him to fuse two alien forms together to create more powerful transformations such as fusing Monki and Solar Storm together. Due to his mastery of the Omnitrix at a young age, he has access to about five hundred million transformations and the ability to instantly switch through transformations with no timeout, although he still does not have complete access to Master Control, only possessing half of it. Another unique trait of the Omnitrix is it turns him into the most perfect alien in existence or rather its potential as being "the next step in alien evolution," or the "perfect" specimen of that species development and conditioning. On his 20th birthday, he unlocked the other half of Master control. It gives Alex unlimited transformation time, allowing him to transform into an alien or switching between transformations using thoughts, no mistransformations, and unlocks every single DNA sample in the Omnitrix database. When using the Master Control, he's stated that he doesn't think of the alien that he wants, but instead the power he wants to use. So if he thinks "Lightning", then he could turn into any of his lightning aliens. If he thinks of two powers, like "Lightning and flight", then he would turn into a lightning alien that can fly. After unlocking Master Control, Alex gained the innate ability to grasp the nature of the Omnitrix and comprehend all the DNA samples inside, allowing him to quickly master the new transformations he received and the ability to adapt to anything and limitless potential, enabling him to learn and use any transformation without having to train at all. After gaining Master Control, He can now alter his limbs to various aliens for more convenient use of their abilities at the cost of their powers being reduced by half. Alongside master control, Alex can now access his alien's powers without needing to transform by instead using his own ultimate form, Ultimate Alex. He can use any alien's abilities, even all at once in any form, human or alien. He can also transform any part of his body into that of any other alien or Ultimate he desires. This is done by pronouncing the name of any alien he chooses (though it is not necessary) and pressing the Omnitrix symbol on his chest, at which point he gains the powers of the selected alien. Ultimate Alex’s body can adapt to match that of the selected alien, such as when his body frame becomes larger while accessing Ultimate Humungousaur's powers. Ultimate Alex’s natural abilities are increased while accessing certain aliens' powers. These can be seen when he uses Spidermonkey's enhanced agility, Jetray's flight and enhanced strength, and XLR8's enhanced speed. Aside from the ability to rapidly switch between alien powers, Ultimate Alex removes the physical vulnerabilities causes by the physiologies of certain alien species. Alex has mastered his alien forms and is capable of using their powers to their fullest potential. This is thanks to both years of practice and Alex enhancing each of his aliens with intense training. As such, the aliens themselves have changed, with their appearances being different and their abilities being at greater levels. The Omnitrix can create Lantern styled constructs to provide Alex with the necessary alien parts to use aliens powers. With Eye Guy, the Omnitrix makes eyes all over his body these eyes function the same with different elemental lasers. With Cannonbolt, he can create a sphere form that he can hamster ball roll in. With Ultimate Humungousaur, he makes missle launchers out of constructs. With Lodestar, he can magnetize anything with his hands. Since these are constructs they work like the Lanterns they can work separately from Alex himself. For example, using his Cannonbolt Transformation he can shield himself with the ball form, make individual arm plates and shoot the ball form on its own as an projectile. The Omnitrix creates any necessary alien part as an construct. This means any alien with physical features required for their powers are made as parts graphped onto Alex. This works for alien powers like Snare-Oh bandages, Bullfrag's tongue, Blitzwolfer's mouth, Feedback's plugs and Armodrillo drills all as examples for his constructs. The Omnitrix also provides physical matter from the alien forms. This gives him the added ammo, energy or elemental abilities some aliens has. With using Heatblast or Big Chill, he can use their respective pyrokinesis and cryokinesis. Aliens like Clockwork, Nanomech, Frankenstrike and Way Big he can make their energy when accessing their forms. All the constructs work like holograms with the equivalent mass to the normal alien forms. This gives Alex enhanced strength whenever he uses aliens like Four Arms or enhanced jumping when using aliens like Crashhopper.

**Weakness**:

**Humanity**: In part 1, Alex's small frame and lack of power was a weakness, especially after the Omnitrix timed out. Despite his intense training under his brother and parents, he usually had to resort to dodging attacks from superhuman foes rather than taking them head-on like other sturdier heroes might. In part 2, he has since outgrown this weakness, although he is still an ordinary human being and is subject to anything that would harm one. As an Adult, Alex fights alongside almighty gods like Kyrie Lunafreya and Hippolyta Odinson, he is still a human, and thus can still be hurt by things that would damage a regular person.

**Lack of Teamwork**: While still operating with the Teen Titans and Young Avengers, he displayed a lack of conventional team work, where during certain situations, he would disappear abruptly either to scout ahead or perform some other sort of task, without notifying anyone else. This was not due to any ego or inconsideration, but rather was due to the fact that his partnership with his brother had grown to the level where they could anticipate each other's moves without having to vocalize them; and while this worked exceedingly well with him and Delsin, it did not with the rest of the Team.

**Strategy**: Alex may be a brilliant tactician and formidable warrior, but he still requires preparation to defeat most of his foes, like his bouts with Cornelius.

**Trust Issues**: Alex has a really hard time trusting people even some of his closest allies. Alex has a plan to take down his fellow Team Omni members if they ever go rouge. This has lead many of his former friends to not trust Alex.

**Rage**: Alex's most notable weakness is his rage. Azmuth and numerous others have told him that his rage blinds him in battle to the point of leaving physical and mental weak points open for attacks. Recently, Alex has made steps to putting the past behind him and has become a more disciplined and controlled fighter as a result of recalling his time training around the world.

**Arrogance**: More often than not, Alex believes himself to be better than he is, this has allowed him to underestimate opponents as well as irritate his allies. Despite Alex's great intellect, he has displayed a high degree of arrogance, with it having caused him to underestimate circumstances and individuals in various situations, therefore; indirectly leading to his plans being thwarted, to which he can potentially put others in danger as well. However, this arrogance disappeared with time as he learned from his mistakes.

**Superiority inferiority complex**: Alex's ambition has proven to be his greatest flaw, as his passionate hatred of Vilgax, lust for power, and his tendency to alienate himself through his ignoble actions greatly impedes his ability to bring his well laid plans to fruition. Alex has a bad habit of underestimating his opponents, which results into humiliating defeat.

**Overconfidence**: Alex is often overconfident of his reputation, which can be seen when he seeks help from "The Negav kids," and again when he asks Winston to inform his would-be assassins that he will kill anyone who comes after him.

**Anger and Revenge**: Alex's determination in going after his target is both his greatest strength and his weakness as he often refuses to stop pursuing them, even when it would be in his interest to do so, or even wait for a better opportunity to strike. When Santos hides in the Continental, rather than wait for him to leave or pursue another method of revenge, Alex murders him on the grounds and is then forced to go on the run for breaking the rules of the hotel. Alex can't sate his need for revenge and stop himself from killing the people who took things from him, which led to most of his problems his life and the death of a close friend.

**Killer-Instinct**: Due to his upbringing, Alex also has a killer instinct; though he can control it, it's still a great weakness.

**Single-Mindedness**: Alex drive to protect others has been used against him on several occasions, most notably when Sokka decided to confront Alex only after wearing him down by destroying the Ayrad prison, knowing that his foe would try and capture all the escaped inmates himself and thus push himself to the brink of exhaustion.

**Post-traumatic stress disorder**: Alex was deeply traumatized by the murder of his parents at a young age. He experienced a PTSD episode when Vilgax mentioned his father's name, triggering him to relive the horrific events. Alex also stated to Laura that he has "been dead inside" for a long time ever since his parent's death.

**Human Weaknesses**: Alex may be a smart, skilled fighter, but without his transformations, he is still just a human. If he is caught off guard or can't react fast enough to an attack, he could potentially be killed. His failsafe prevents him from dying, but enemies can still bypass this with enough preparation and understanding of the Omnitrix. He can be sustainable to stabs wounds, gun shots and such.

**Alien Weaknesses**: If one of his transformations is susceptive to a circumstantial attack, he also has a risk of being beaten or even dying if he is exposed to it. Each alien he has has their fair share of weaknesses.

**Inexperience with a new alien**: Whenever Alex unlocks a new alien form, he is at a disadvantage of not knowing its abilities and weaknesses until he gains experience with using that alien. His inexperience with new aliens could land him into trouble with fighters, and it makes him sloppy.

**Illness**: If Alex falls ill in his human form, his transformations are also affected by the illness either, altering their abilities or inhibiting them.
