GENERAL/STORY:
Alex is a powerhouse wrestler who lives in Manhattan with his father's old friend Tom, Tom's four year-old daughter Patricia, and his own daughter, Pauline. Tom took Alex in after Alex's father died and raised him like a son. He even trained Alex in his gym, and Alex quickly became a powerful yet agile fighter. Alex eventually signed up for military duty, and earned a reputation as a great Street Fighter. When he returned from service, Alex discovered that Tom had been defeated and gravely injured by a mysterious man named Gill. Gill had apparently visited Tom to recruit him into Gill's personal army. Tom refused, and Gill brutalized him as a message to Alex: if Alex didn't join with Gill, something worse might happen to Tom, or even Patricia or Pauline. 

An angered Alex swore vengeance and entered the third World Warriors tournament in order to fight Gill. Having trained hard in anticipation for the conflict, Alex was among the most powerful warriors in the tournament. Despite his great skill, Alex was captured by Gill's forces and was about to become one of Gill's super soldiers before he was freed by the undercover Chun Li. After his escape, Alex confronted Necro and emerged victorious. Upon his return home, Alex found Tom and Pauline were awaiting his return. Alex, discovering that there were many other strong fighters in the world, decided to venture out into the world and prove his worth in competition. Despite his large frame, Alex is extremely quick and powerful, especially in hand-to-hand combat. He mainly employs swinging punches complemented by throws. Alex is also a rival of Hugo.

Alex entered the third tournament to get revenge on Gill, who had beaten his friend Tom. He managed to reach the final (mainly because Oro beat Ryu in the semis and then left), but couldn't beat Gill himself. After this, he decides to travel around the world to train. He encountered Ryu and was easily beaten. He now wants to find Ryu again.

REVIEW:
Something is just cool about the way his headband's shadow hides his eyes. His moves and appearance also make him a unique "big guy/wrestler" design. After seeing his rivalry with Hugo in SFIII, you can assume that Capcom was inspired by Hulk Hogan's and Andre The Giant's rivalry in that famous match up. Alex does somewhat resemble a young Hulk Hogan, minus the mustache thing and the bright yellow spandex. 

And on a side note, anyone else notice how Alex's friend Tom (whom you can see in Alex's ending below) looks exactly like Jean Reno... And let's not forget Jean Reno also stared in Onimusha 3... Hmm, someone at Capcom must be a fan of his.
