Alex is the first character to be introduced in the series. He is the son of
Geoffrey Wilder and Catherine Wilder. Alex suggests spying on their parents' supposed charity organization. After witnessing their parents' (who were revealed to be a secret crime ring called "the Pride") murder of an innocent teenage girl, Alex organizes the mass escape from their parents. Alex then obtains
the Yorkes' copy of The Abstract, a magical book that records the past, present, and future deeds of the Pride. After a few fights with their parents, Alex and the Runaways escape to
Chase's dilapidated
mansion hideout called "the Hostel". The group vows to work together and take down their parents' organization. Since he expected that all the other Runaways would die in a few months time, he limited his emotional connection to them. Alex determines the location for the yearly sacrificial rite and convinces the Runaways that the rite would be the best place to launch an assault. Alex reveals that he had known about the Pride for over a year. He intends to take down the entire Pride, but save his parents, thus securing them seats in the paradise the Gibborim had promised. Alex tries to give the remaining three seats to
Nico Minoru and her parents, but Nico refuses and Alex quickly loses control over the situation. Alex later joins the villainous team
Young Masters. Alex reappears in the series
Power Man and Iron Fist, where he spreads a demonic drug called Redemption. ==Powers and abilities==
