Superhero Name: Null

Bio: Alex Prior's first memory is when her father sat her down to explain that he and her mother were getting divorced and he was marrying another man. She had no idea what divorce meant, as young as she was, but she understood that her daddy was leaving. She threw a fit, as any child would; but to no avail.
Alex's father never really left, though. He moved, but he kept in touch and kept teaching her things she needed to know as the daughter of a powerless FBI agent and a Sky High hero support graduate, as well as the granddaughter of two retired superheroes. She learned to fight unarmed or with a knife, how to deter someone from following her, and how to shoot any of several handguns accurately. As a hobby, she also started riflery and archery. She invested far more time in her dad's lessons than in her schoolwork, such that when she was in eighth grade she had a black belt and three D's. To Alex, learning to fight with any conceivable weapon was a way of keeping the anger and sadness at bay, and she held tight to it.
Her father, of course, kept his word, and before Alex ever got her first black belt or won her first trophy he had married another man, a widower with a son Alex's age. If he hadn’t, Alex’s power might never have been discovered. But when Alex was in eighth grade, her mother took sick and had to be hospitalized, and Alex moved across the country to live with her dad and stepdad and stepbrother. That stepbrother, Timothy, was a telepath and telekinetic who realized that Alex was immune to both his powers. Alex was officially registered for Sky High the following year.
Immunity to telepaths isn’t that big a deal, so Alex was put originally in the sidekick class; but a fight in the middle of her freshman year revealed that she was immune to even such powers as pyrokinesis, and that super-strong heroes couldn’t even hit her with more than human strength. For the fight, she got a week of detention and a promotion to hero class. She’s stayed there ever since. In a parallel of her old schools, she’s always excelled in hero class but slacked in her other classes. She’s still a member of clubs on the ground for riflery, archery, and martial arts. Her father still takes her to the shooting range every Saturday. Her life has more or less continued the same pattern as before. She has few close friends at Sky High for two reasons. For one, she can be catty and mean when she wants to be; and for two, a lot of people find her power unnerving.
