Powers: Meteokinesis -
the ability to manipulate the weather
Alex can control the weather in all its forms, allowing him to change it as he pleases and use it as a weapon. The potency of this varies from blowing his enemies back with gusts of wind to striking them down with lightning. By causing air to surround him in a certain way, he can also cause himself or others to fly.
Background: Alex grew up in San Francisco with his parents, Adrian and Jennifer. They lived in an upper-class residential area of the city - one of those 'white picket fence' areas, fresh out of
Desperate Housewives. His parents were both lawyers - and had been for as long as he could remember - and earned a substantial amount of money. This, however, meant that Alex was often left alone, being the only child of his parents. He didn't mind, however - Alex was always very creative, and so he would sit by himself and paint the hours away - giving his works to his parents when they returned home. Because of this habit, Alex did not socialize much with others - and was often bullied at school for being different. Whilst at high school, Alex realized he was gay - which was not a shocking revelation. He'd never been typically masculine, and as he grew older his fashion sense had become rather extreme. He came out to his parents to mixed reactions - his mother was supportive, his father... not-so-much. Nevertheless, they allowed him to drop out of high school in order to attend the San Francisco Academy of Art - where he excelled. It was studying here that he began to notice yet more changes in his life... Whenever he got emotional, he began to notice changes in the weather around him - and soon enough he could physically alter the weather if he tried hard enough. Controlling this power is still something he finds very difficult, which doesn't help him keep the secret from his parents - yet, he still manages.
