Alex was once in the news for being the sole survivor of an IED attack in Afghanistan a few years back.
Reputation
Alex has several reputations that he can account for. He's a veteran of the United States Army, discharged at the rank off Staff Sergeant, with more than four tours of combat duty under his belt. As a Civilian, he's known as that quiet new guy who attends Columbia University as a first year Geophysics major.
Biography
Born in October of '88, Alex was the youngest of two sons fathered by Air Force Major, Christopher Summers. Their mother, Katherine, was a stay-at-home mom who was constantly cleaning and cooking. A proper, loyal military wife was a rare thing, yet Christopher had found himself one.
The family constantly moved from Air-Force Base to Air-Force Base, never allowing Alex any considerable amount of time to socialize with the other students. Scott was his only real friend and the two grew close, despite their knack for getting into fist fights over stupid things, like brothers generally do. For seven years the Summer family was a real, functional thing, and it was beautiful.
What happened up in the air-plane remains a mystery to Alex, who to this day can only remember bright lights and an explosion, and the sound of his brothers voice reassuring him everything would be fine. Then nothing. Alex awoke a few days later separated from his brother in a hospital. He was put in the care of an orphanage and later adopted by a family who had recently lost their son, Tommy.
Alex hated his new family, who had dragged him all the way down to Texas. His adoptive parents were still grieving the loss of their son, and kept treating him like Tommy. It was unbearable, and Alex grew resentful towards them. He spent all of his time outside, playing. As he grew older, he found himself spending more time in the library, researching history of aeronautics, and military. It revived a spark of interest in him that had laid dormant for many years. During high-school Alex spent his time in the gym, and his books, preparing for a military career as FAR away from his adoptive family as he could get.
Alex got his wish. As soon as he graduated from High School, the Army whisked him away to basic training in North Carolina. Alex was promptly placed with a group destined for Ranger school. Basic was over quick, and Ranger school even quicker. Before Alex knew it, he was jumping out of Helicopters into the mountains of Afghanistan, fighting terrorists and opium drug lords. His first four years in the Army were beyond intense, doing two tours in that time. He had seen some gnarly stuff, and trained with some of the most elite troops on the planet.
Hearing no word about his brother, and feeling hopeless, Alex re-enlisted. With nothing else too lose, Alex spent every waking moment to bettering himself as a soldier. It paid off. Not long after he came to the conclusion to remain a soldier for life, his platoon was sent to Iraq for another tour of duty. New terrorist groups had risen up from the ashes that had been produced by the elite military unit. They had grown stronger, and had a personal vendetta. For the next six months, Alex would be engaged in some of the most intense fire-fights behind enemy-lines that soldiers were faced with that year.
Everything changed for Alex in an instant. Four of his men had been shot down around him, and a group of taliban fighters surrounded him. In a fit of blinding rage, Alex exploded. Literally, disintegrating the enemies, and scarring the vehicles with intense heat. He had no real explanation, so he told his superiors he was the only survivor of an enemy IED.
Alex did one more tour before being stationed in Japan. He only had two years left, and the fighting had decreased in the middle-east. His powers increased in strength and random intervals of discharging.. and when he got angry.. well.. he exploded. Alex locked himself in his room when he was not on duty, taking up interest once again in computers. Alex constantly scanned the news for word of his brother. Nothing appeared until only a few months ago, when Scott had been seen on TV blowing a hole in the roof. Not only was it his brother, but.. he had a similar issue with blowing things up. When it was time to sign that dotted line once more, Alex declined and took his discharge papers, leaving the armed forces as a Staff Sergeant.
From there, Alex took a plane back to New York, using his resources to get him into Columbia University where he'd begin his journey of tracking down his long lost brother!

Character Details
Alex is not cheerful by any means. He has seen and done some wicked things in his life in the name of his country; but it doesn't stop him from being MORE cheerful than his brother Scott. His sense of humor is large, and raunchy, and more often than not is what gets him in trouble with the ladies, and his peers. He knows when to force a smile for the sake of social niceties, and literally goes out of his way to avoid confrontation so that nobody dies. Plain and simple. Alex is still a bit of a partier, and every weekend you can guarantee that he'll be hungover each morning.
When it comes down to it, Alex is pretty serious. He's been institutionalized by the military after-all. When it's time to work, it's time to work. No time for games. He's always been a bit of an underdog, so he tends to take up for them when he sees one.
Sharpshooter |
Alex was formally trained by the United States Army as a Airborne Infantry Ranger. By graduating from Ranger School, Alex had to qualify as a Sharpshooter for his unit. Some people would call him a dead-shot, and he won't deny it.. but he's fairly humble about his skills as a Sharpshooter. |
Energy Absorption |
Alex is constantly in a state of absorbing ambient cosmic energy (such as starlight, x-rays, and gamma radiation). He's able to process this energy internally and utilize it to turn it into plasma, which emanates from his body. When each of his body's cell enclaves reach capacity, the excess energy is immediately re-emitted at negligible levels. The circle on his chest is used as an indicator to identify how much energy Alex has left. It takes 16.5 hours to fully recharge his body after using up all of the energy. |
Plasma Blast |
Utilizing the cosmic energy that store within his cells, Alex has the ability to transform that energy and release it in waves that heat up the surrounding air with plasma. It's a devastating ability, and unless he focuses all of his willpower to channel it, it is wild and random! When he's finally able to control his abilities, he will be able to regulate temperature, density, and output. When utilized to it's full potential, he will more than likely cause objects to shatter, explode, or disintegrate from the extreme heat. |
Energy Resistant |
Alex radiates large amounts of heat from his plasma, and is immune to it, along with his older brother's power. Though this does not make him immune to all forms of energy weapons, he is far more resistant to most forms of heat and energy than an average human. Radiation only charges him. |
Hand-to-hand Combat |
Trained under the guidance of the United States Military, Alex is a competent hand-to-hand combatant. In his eight years, he's climbed the ranks of the Military MAC program. Along the way, Alex has picked up some Silat while deployed alongside members of the Indonesian Marine Corps. His knowledge of bladed and blunt weaponry isn't profound, but it'll keep him alive! |
Pilot |
Alex always had a fascination with airplanes and helicopters due to his father's job as a military test-pilot. Despite the tragic event that left his parents dead, and his brother somewhere in a coma, Alex never lost that passion. Alex was never a designated pilot in the Army, but he had to acquire civilian logged hours while on leave and between tours. After a few years of guidance outside of the military, Alex managed to pick up enough knowledge to pilot planes and helicopters. He's not the best, but he can do the job! |
U.s. Army Ranger |
A member of the 82nd Airborne Division of the United States Military, Alex is an experienced war veteran who has been deployed more than four times in his eight year career. He is competent in stealth, tactics, combat medicine, and survival. |
College Freshman |
Alex is a brand new, fresh-faced, first year freshman at Columbia University. He has decided to major is geophysical science, and minor in computer science. |
Resources |
Alexander Summers is not rich.. not by any means. However, when his parents were killed, he inherited half of their money which went into his trust fund. It was a large amount, a half a million dollars easily. After the military, Alex had managed to save up about hundred grand. His apartment is paid for under the G.I. Bill, so naturally Alex spent a good chunk of money on a brand new car. |
Gear |
Through-out his eight year run in the military, Alex replaced most of his military issue gear with higher-grade equipment. Subsequently, most of the gear he had been issued had been returned, while his upgraded equipment remained with him. He possess a pair Level III bullet-proof steel plates, a carrier vest, nightvision goggles, Ka-Bar combat knife, a burst-fire M16, Glock 9mm, a bullet proof helmet, combat fatigues, boots and backpacks of varying camouflage patterns, etc. While he may never use this stuff, he definitely has it just in case. |
Contacts |
Alexander has a plethora of military and civilian contacts who owe him favors for whatever reason. It's not one way however, as Alex has plenty of people he is indebted too all over the world. Should he need anything at all, these contacts would help him, one way or another. |
Secret Identity |
Alexander Summers may be a veteran of a foreign war and a student by day, but by night he is a mutant who continues to uphold his vows to his country by engaging in foreign and domestic threats. Keeping the secret of his powers is incredibly taxing on Alexander, who wishes to tell people of his situation, but can't. |
Control Issues |
Alex still has control issues with his powers. When his cells fully charge, his body releases the stored energy in a dangerous manner. It's troubling for him, for once a day he must seclude himself so that he can discharge safely. |
Family Issues |
Alex has deep rooted family issues. His parents were killed at an early age, and he was removed from his older brother and put in an orphanage, and later a crazy family. It was an emotional topic for him, and all he wanted was his family back. |
