"Take a Chill Pill"-Cryo

Early Life
Alexander grew up with his family in Miami, Florida. His mom was a Bank manager and his dad was a Police Officer. Alex's older brother Zach helped raise him because he was never home. He and his older brother Zach where very close until one day Zach was shot and killed in a mugging gone wrong. His father went crazy and left the police force and his mother was killed in a Bank robbery. Despite all of this, Alexander stayed in school and eventually he went to collage and earned a Bachelors degree in Journalism to hopefully find who killed his family and get revenge.

Journalism School
After Highschool Alex went straight into Journalism school in New York where he was not the most popular to become a journalist with the Big Apple Picture News newspaper. While in school he also discovered Criminal Reporting and started to study it. By the third semester of Collage he was already top of his class and had multiple offers from various different newspapers. While in school his father was diagnosed with Schizophrenia and had to be placed in a nursing home along with his mother who was no longer able to care for herself. With Alex worried about his parents he graduated and moved back to Miami and started working at the Miami Watch news station in the crime department. He bought an apartment close to the Nursing home and visited his parents as much as he could between his work shifts.

Starting in Journalism
After Alex graduated from NYSJ or New York School of Journalism he started working at Big Apple Picture News. He traveled all across the world and fell in love with exploring new countries. While traveling and exploring he picked up the art of Photography and became a one man Journalism team. Even though he was starting out his name and reputation spread fast. He was never afraid of what it took to get down to the bottom line of a story. He always found the truth and exposed the stories for what they really where. He truly loved his job. One day he got a phone call from his mom saying his dad was getting sicker and he needed to come back to Miami. Even though it was hard Alex decided to quit at the Big Apple Picture News and fly back to Miami.

Cryogenics
One day while Alex was walking back from visiting his parents he was approached by a stranger. Who said that the research Zander Labs in San Francisco was doing in Cryogenics was revolutionary and could help his parents. While skeptical about leaving his parents at first the man promised him as much communication as he wanted. He decided to follow the stranger and do research into Cryogenics in hopes of helping his parents recover. He went to visit his parents one last time before he left for San Francisco. Before leaving the stranger gives Alex a number to remain in contact and if any problems arise to let him know, still unsure about the offer but realizing he has no other option he decides to go. When he lands he begins his new life in San Francisco. Alex begins his life in San Francisco as an Investigative Crime Reporter. One day he gets a call from the stranger with details about Zander Labs, and were to go and who to contact. While investigating and following a lead one employee gave him, Alex walks into the Cryogenics lab. He finds everything he needs to build a report but finds it is much to dangerous to be released.

Becoming Cryo
While interviewing a scientist about Cryogenics an alarm goes off and and Alex is forced to leave. While turning to leave an explosion causes Alex to be thrown onto an Icicle causing it to pierce his heart, instead of killing him Cryogenic chemicals fall on top of him and get absorbed into his blood stream due to his open wound. When he is found the paramedics thought him dead, however when they went to check his pulse he still had one. They took him to the nearest hospital where his injuries where treated. The doctors being confused at his condition seeing as he should be dead, they treated him to the best of their abilities. Inside of Alex's body the chemicals where already working healing him and his heart. Giving him new and different abilities.
