History
Alex Fairchild was an Iowa farmboy who escaped the corn belt by attending West Point. An iconoclast who abhorred bureaucracy, Alex ended up joining the Special Forces (not only because of his roughhousing but also his womanizing). After sleeping with a general's wife, his career in the "regular" army was crippled before it even started. Soon, he found his home with the Green Berets where he was not only a proficient soldier but also the "go-to guy" when things needed to get done or found.
Alex caught the attention of John Lynch who worked for International Operations, who'd been assigned to put together Team 7 by Miles Craven. When Alex was exposed to the Gen-Factor, he carried out various missions for Craven while he was with Team 7. Soon, he escaped from IO when Team 7 disbanded.
When Alex went into hiding with the other renegade members of Tean 7, he established a special friendship with Lucius (a pirate). At this time, he was reunited with his daughter, Caitlin Fairchild. He currently resides with Lynch and the Gen 13 kids. Until he sacrificed himself to save them from a mad scientist.
Powers and Abilities
Powers
Psionics: His Gen-Factor given powers were primarily strong telekinetic powers, also known as the Mojo or the Rush among Team 7-members. His mental powers are stronger when other Team 7-members link with him, increasing its strength almost exponentially. He now is capable of:
- Empathy
- Rapid Cellular Regeneration
- Mind Control: mentally controlling people
- Memory Erasing: erasing memories
- Mental Shields: offering them protection against other telepaths or other forms of mind-control.
Abilities
Advanced Military Training: Having served as a Green Beret in the US Army Special Forces, Alex's expertise lies in firearms, demolitions, hand-to-hand combat, scuba diving, skydiving, and counter-insurgency.

Weaknesses
The Rush: The side effects of using this power however are terrible to say the least. It was nicknamed The Rush due to the effect that the use of it is likened unto a drug. Raw, telekinetic, energy twisting and wielding power that if left unchecked can ravage the mind and body of the wielder, driving him to insanity.
- Uncontrolled Psionics: The downside to these powers was that they were nearly impossible to control.
- Physical Strain: Using the powers also put a terrible strain on Fairchild himself; trying to keep them under control would often cause blood vessels to rupture and he would weaken.
- Affect Mind: Prolonged use would threaten his sanity and outside forces (like I.O. telepath Alicia Turner) were needed to calm him down and make him regain control.
