Alex is a video game character from Capcom's Street Fighter series of fighting games. He first appeared in Street Fighter III: New Generation. He is considered the main character of the Street Fighter III series and hails from New York. His parents died at a young age, so he was raised by his father's friend, Tom, who trained him in fighting, and Patricia, Tom's daughter. The Illuminati and Gill are interested in his abilities after he won the third World Warrior tournament.

Alex made his first appearance in Street Fighter III: New Generation. Tom, his mentor and legal guardian, got in a fight with Gill, the president of the Illuminati and lost. He was sent into a hospital as a result, angering Alex and prompting him to enter the third World Warrior tournament, being hosted by Gill to kill him. Alex beats Gill and wins the tournament, but doesn't kill him. Gill is impressed about Alex's skills afterwards and thinks there's something special about him. Alex returns to Tom after going around the world fighting many people, who just got out the hospital, with a changed self.

Street Fighter III: Second Impact retcons New Generation, but Alex's story stays the same, but he now has a rivalry with Hugo, a German pro wrestler of extreme height.

Alex returns in Street Fighter III: Third Strike with a slightly different personality, He met Ryu and fought him, only to lose, in which Ryu told Alex to explore the world and find worthy fighters. He re-encountered Ryu and decided to fight again, although the outcome of the fight hasn't been revealed yet in the story.

After not appearing in a main-line Street Fighter game, Alex came back in Street Fighter V as DLC, which is set before Street Fighter III. He is in a pro-wrestling league and is one of the best wrestlers in it. One day, after working on his broken down trailer, he gets kidnapped by Shadaloo and F.A.N.G. for assessment of his skills, where he's pitted against simulations of multiple fighters, such as Ryu and Chun-Li. When he realizes that he's been kidnapped, he throws down a simulated fighter to try and destroy the facility he's trapped in, but gets knocked out before he can and is sent back to his trailer. He wakes up, thinking it's a dream, but when Patricia comes to his trailer with a porcelain chess piece, which is a key to a Black Moon, a satellite that can be rigged to launch an electromagnetic pulse that can blackout entire cities, and a certificate, and notices a scar on him, Alex realizes it's not a dream.
