When Alan asked what a Syker was, Alex was understandably surprised. At least, until he remembered the fact that the kid wasn't exactly confident. So, the kid was hated without even knowing why? "A Syker?" He started. "Well, you know how nukes give a person powers?" To demonstrate, he had his nuke appear and showed it to the kid. "Well, a Syker is someone who is<span style="font-style: italic">born</span>with powers similar to a nuke, except they're often stronger. Most people assume these powers make a Syker something less then human... In my opinion they're dead wrong and the people who actually act on that irrational hatred are asses. In my opinion, powers or no, Sykers are also human. If having powers makes a Syker inhuman, couldn't one argue the same about nuke users, after all?" Despite the fact it wasn't necessary, he added the last sentence just to illustrate the flaws in the usual argument about Sykers.
