Origin:Alex spent much of his life in foster care and orphaniges, going from one place to the next. He first joined the X-Men after a bout with a being called the Living Monolith, who he has become bonded with in some wierd way. Alex met Lorna Dane in his first run as a member of the X-Men, and they eventually ended up leaving together, Alex becoming a geologist and Lorna a Paleontologist. Alex later rejoined the X-Men after a run-in with the brood, and then Lorna getting posessed by the ilusive Maurauder, Malice. Alex found Lorna after an incident with the Siege perilous, when he went through the mystical portal and became brainwashed and ended up in the Savage land, as a Magistrate of Zala Dane. Alex came out of it when he saw Lorna being tortured by Zala and rescued her from being decimated. Alex later returned to the U.S. and joined the government sanctioned X-Factor in place of Cyclops, along with Lorna Dane who had been undergoing treatment at Muir Island for strange effects of the attack she recieved from Zala in the Savage Land. Alex remained with X-Factor until recently when he and another former member of the group, Greystone, got into a bit of a fix with the Blackbird when it exploded in mid-flight due to a temporal experiment on Greystone's part. Alex was then transferred into the body off another dimentional version of himself, who had been killed by a sentinal. Alex found himself in a world where his team was comprised of Madelyne Pryor, the psychotic Goblin Queen, The Beast, now known as the Brute, who had experimented on himself to the point he was barely human, The Fallen, another dimentional version of the X-Men's Archangel, Iceman, who's powers were completely screwed with by the Norse god Loki, and Bloodstorm, who had been bitten by Dracula, but never had the effects reversed. Alex also found that he had a son, Scotty, and his nanny, Elektra. Alex is now stuck in this other dimention, and starting to get used to it, but still longs for the world he was forced to leave behind.
Status:Currently in the Mutant X storieline, where he is himself in another timeline after a what should have been fatal accident. Alex now is in custody of young Scotty Summers, the son of the Havok of this alternate timeline and Madelyne Pryor, who turned into the Goblin Queen(see Madelyne Pryor/Goblin Queen)
