As far as he can tell, Alex is the child of a flame wielding hero or villain from the past. He doesn't register as a mutant; but has no idea as to his origin as he was raised in an orphanage. He has practiced with his abilities for some time now and unlike the other contestants weilds them with considerable skill. Only in his late teens and never one for athletics beyond natural talent, he is looking foreward to becoming a legitimate hero. His mysterious past is popular topic to speculate on. A decent guy, looking to be a hero. He had a surprisingly easy upbringing. His powers scared away potential adoptive parents, but he was treated well at the orphanage and has always been optimistic. He has enjoyed his time in the spotlight and enjoys the company of other superhumans. Alex has a natural nervousness around children, stemming from his isolation growing up (his powers took a bit of time to control). He is uncomfortable when no other responsible adults are around. "Fire away!" Capable of creating, hurling, and sculpting fire; Firewatcher is one of the more polished contestants. he seems to have a leg up training wise. He fares well in the combat missions but has found his destructive powers less helpful in emergency situations. One of the few contestants close to starting hero level as is, Firewatcher can be weakened by reducing his attacks to about 40 active points. Also dropping his CSLs willl bring him back to the other contestants levels. To improve him, increase his physical characteristics and perhaps give him flight or other impressive fire abilities. A trim young man with a pleasant appearance. Firewatcher wears a red suit with golden flame patterns on the arms and legs. He wears no symbol on his costume it's rather plain to tell the truth. He also wears a golden domino mask.
