Actually it's not "nearly twenty".  It's precisely seventeen.  Alex is fond of precision.  Whilst in his room he exercises by using a very strict and precise regimen of exercises as well as using a stair master and a treadmill that he has dragged into his room (and not leaving much space for anything else in there aside from his bed).  He has a number of different news feeds from across the globe (with a sub-titled scroll across the bottom of some for the languages he doesn't know as provided by Beast) and he watches and listens to these feeds while exercising.  He feels as though the only way he can prove himself as an X-Man is to be as well-informed, as physically fit and both mentally and physically capable as possible.  (And if it causes some people to think he's more competent and effective than Scott...well that's all part of the plan now isn't it?)  His intention is to set the best of examples for the new students and hope that he is recognized and emulated for his work ethic.<br/><br/>Alex happens to be quite scared of Sabertooth now since having been assaulted by the mutant during the attack.  While he is not the type to let a fear of something deter him from what needs to be done; his encounter with Sabertooth during the assault left him feeling helpless and useless.  A couple times a week he awakens to sweat-soaked sheets after having a terrible dream about Sabertooth slaughtering the others of the school and then proceeding to go to work on Alex.<br/><br/><strong>Hobbies:</strong>Exercising. // Staying current on world events. // Training. //Researching and reading about anything he happens to not understand when monitoring the news feeds. // Alex enjoys listening to country music and also feels that Nickelback is a good band that doesn't deserve the abuse it receives.<br/><br/><strong>History:</strong><br/><br/>Alex's father was a Major in the USAF stationed in Anchorage, Alaska and took his entire family for a flight as a sort of family event when when the boys were young. They came under assault by an unidentified aircraft, and as the plane went down in flames Alex's parents used the only available parachute for Scott, fastening younger  Alex to him. No bodies were recovered from the crash.<br/><br/>Alex and his brother became wards of the state, and were separated. Alex was moved from orphanage to orphanage and foster family to foster family until his powers manifested late in his teens when he was 18 years of age during an event that involved him blowing out the back wall of his highschool's gymnasium.  There is a good deal of speculation regarding why it took so long and why it was so difficult for Professor X to locate Alex.  There is some thought put towards the fact that some unknown entity was actively blocking Alex's powers up to that point as well as hiding him somehow psychically; almost as if this entity had others plans for Alex aside from him joining the X-Men.<br/><br/>There was a significant adjustment period for Alex and while he and Scott struggle with their relationship, Alex is fully and wholly devoted to Professor X as well as the idea of the X-Men.  As socially awkward as Alex can be at times; he believes in what the school is trying to accomplish and looks at the students there as not just students but family.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;"><span class="bbc_u">Mutations and Powers</span></span><br/><strong>Classification:</strong>Beta<br/><br/><strong>Type of Mutant:</strong>Dormant Gene<br/><br/><strong>Powers:</strong><br/><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li><em>Ambient Energy Conversion:</em> Havok absorbs ambient cosmic energy into the cells of his body and processes it into plasma. This results in control over an extremely powerful sort of destructive force. At times he is not entirely able to control this ability, which sometimes makes him a danger to those around him unless he wears a special containment suit to assist him. Havok's body is constantly in the process of absorbing cosmic radiation. When each of his body's power-storage cell enclaves reaches its capacity, excess cosmic energy is thereafter absorbed and immediately re-emitted in negligible quantities. Upon the total expenditure of all his available energy, it takes Havok's body about 16 ½ hours to recharge to its peak level unless he absorbs a large amount of energy at once. The act of concentration involved in releasing his energy in anything other than an omni-directional wave is physically exhausting for Havok if he continues it over an extended period of time. He can absorb cosmic energies from his environment (such as starlight, x-rays, and gamma radiation) and store them within his body cells, metabolizing the energy in order to generate plasma wave discharges that super-heat and disintegrate objects or create concussion bursts by violently displacing air molecules in his path. His ability to absorb energy is so great that he was able to survive being dropped into a large Star, and use its energy to augment his powers to the point he easily overpowered and defeated his brother Vulcan. He was also able to overpower Magneto using volcanic energy, blasting the Hulk unconscious and Sauron admitted that he was potentially stronger than his brother Cyclops.<br/> </li><li><em>Energy Absorption:</em> Havok not only can passively absorb cosmic energy from his environment but has show he can willingly absorb, store and re-process various other energies from other sources through conscious force of will. He showcased this aspect once when he was thrown into a star, he drew upon its energies to empower himself for the purpose of besting vulcan and now again when he had been cut off from any kind of power source.  Over a period of time he can simply recharge by being exposed to even simple glimpses of light energy.<br/> </li><li><em>Plasma Emanation: </em> Ability to shoot or emanate plasma in the form of a blast or discharge, with a tell-tale concentric circle pattern. These waves will emanate from his body in all directions unless he purposefully tries to channel them in a single direction, usually along the length of his arms. This results in control over an extremely powerful sort of destructive force. When Havok strikes an object with the waves of intensity of hot plasma, the sudden vast jump in temperature will often cause objects to shatter, explode, or seemingly disintegrate. Should Havok direct his energy at the lowest level, he can project it towards a human being and his target will suffer a severe headache but will not burn up.<br/> </li><li><em>Flight:</em> Havok can also use stored energy for flight by directing it as a downward thrust. At full energy capacity he has an easier time managing his energized propulsion through his powers.  While able to fly, and at an impressive speed at that; Havok's flight could not be described as graceful or agile.<br/> </li><li><em>Immunities:</em> Havok is immune to virtually all forms of heat and radiation energy.<br/> </li></ul><br/><strong>Abilities:</strong>Alex is learning German, Russian, Farsi, Syrian and French (trying to at any rate)<br/><br/>Alex is exercising daily as well as training both with his powers and hand to hand combat.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;"><span class="bbc_u">School Information</span></span><br/><strong>Classes Taught:</strong><br/><br/>Alex handles the track club.  He does not teach any classes as yet...<br/><br/><strong>Staff Relations:</strong><br/><br/>Brother to Scott Summers (Cyclops)<br/>Views Professor X as a father figure
