Alex (Known on the net as DarkPower451, and to cops as DorkPooper64) is a computer nerd of the old school - Slashdot, usenet, hacking sites, the works. He spends his whole time sitting in front of a computer, and barely interacts with anything that is not in 1024x768. He's happy with who he is and is not going to budge out of it.

History

Alex attended the same university as Danny Wilcox, Joe Rosenthal, and co., although rarely interacted with them - or with anyone that communicated by voice rather than by text, for that matter. Most of his waking hours were occupied surfing the Internet and hacking into sensitive information - such as the revelation of the existence of Aliens.

Later, he was discovered hacking into the SEMME computers for fun, and, finding that a Quake BFG had no effect in real life, bargained his way into a job as SEMME sysadmin.

When SEMME was being shut down, and Alex had the only working internet connection, Joe was desperate to use his computer to arrange to meet Supergirl79 in real life, Robin managed to get Alex to release his deathgrip on the computer by sticking her tongue down his ear. She then nearly vomited. Alex would attempt to retaliate by stealing the computer's SHIFT key, but Joe sent his message anyway and left.

Trivia

• David Willis was his roommate.
• Pretends to be a millionaire playboy online.
• Though the name DarkPower451 looks sort of like Supergirl79, he doesn't pretend to be a girl on the internet any more.
• Used to frequent the same chat room as Amber O'Malley.
