Profile
General:
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.

Comment:
Alex is part of the
new generation of Street Fighters... His moves and appearance definitely
make him a unique "big guy/wrestler" design. After seeing his rivalry with
Hugo
in SFIII, one might assume that Capcom was inspired by Hulk Hogan's and
Andre The Giant's rivalry... And if you use your imagination, Alex somewhat
resembles a young Hulk Hogan, minus the mustache, short hair, and bright
yellow spandex underwear. Ohh, and his friend Tom looks exactly like Jean
Reno!
