In the early 1990's under the
supervision and authorization of then-president George H.W. Bush, a top
secret bio-genetic weapons program was initiated by the Pentagon to
create the perfect super-soldier. It wasn't until after 9/11 that the
program, with most of the test subjects still in pre-teen stage, were
put into combat phase. Several of these subjects are deployed at
Afghanistan and Iraq, posing as recruited child soldiers for the
opposing militias, doing the military's wet-works and sabotage
operations. One of those subjects is Alexander "Alex" Yamato (code
name: Strike-202). Alex was trained to be an efficient killing machine
like the other brethren in the program, but a certain Dr. Darryl
Mertes, one of the concerned counselors assigned to him, against orders
from his superiors, thought Alex compassion and human feelings in order
to add a conscience on the reluctant boy. On a mission to eliminate a
key "insurgent" operative, Alex and his team of child super-soldiers
infiltrated a suburb of Baghdad to what was thought to be the target,
which turned out to be an innocent family man standing in front of his
wife and two children. Being ordered by his superiors to kill the
target but refuses, Alex watched in horror as his teammates gunned down
the family in cold blood. Upon returning to their home base in
Minnesota, Alex was tormented by the haunting memory of the incident.
Driven with angst and the desire to live a normal life, Alex and Dr.
Mertes agreed to escape the facility to flee to Canada where they can
be protected from the military. Upon escaping from the base in a
government sedan, Dr. Mertes was fatally shot by one of the guard's M16
rifle. In his dying words, Mertes encouraged Alex to move on. Alex,
pursued by Army Apache gunships, successfully made it to the Canadian
border.
Days later, as fate would write
out its' plan for him, Alex stumbles on a local auto repair shop in
Toronto where he bumps into a teenage mechanic named Billy Francois and
his slightly younger spunky sister Jeanette. Alex later accidentally
discovered that the repair shop is a cover for an underground base
where me met their father, Canadian Army General Douglas Francois. Soon
impressed by Alex's extraordinary talents, General Francois invited him
to join his just-greenlit international crime fighting group codenamed
B.R.A.T.S. (Bureau of Readied Anti-Crime Teenage Specialists). Thus
began Alex's crime-busting adventures as the field commander of the
B.R.A.T.S., while making friends while catching the eyes of beautiful
young girls in romantic interludes during his missions. But what
happens if his past would soon catch up with him?
Alex is a kindhearted individual
but is also driven with immense angst, especially when plagued with the
haunting memory of that horrific mission in Iraq, as well as the death
of his mentor Dr. Mertes, which forces him to occasionally cry angrily
and pounds his fist in the ground in the midst of a mission,
jeopardizing his teammates at a critical time. A young man still
running from his past, Alex finds comfort in all of his fellow
teammates, who are like brother figures to him, though Alex does not
want to be reminded to his tormented past, which if they do, he would
go into angry outbursts; this is one of Alex's psychological weak
points. Alex is also stalked by Canadian Mafia princess Lucretia Logan,
who is sexually obsessed with Alex and is determined to make him her
husband, much to the chagrin of Alex, who rebutted her marriage
proposes with forceful denials, even when under pressure from her
ransom captures of his other comrades. Always noble and heroic, Alex is
willing to sacrifice himself to save his friends no matter how
insurmountable the odds. His favorite hobbies include reading crime
novels and helping people in needs. His favorite foods are tomato soup
and grilled cheese sandwiches.
Due to his genetic manipulation,
Alex possesses lightly superhuman human speed, strength, stamina,
reflexes and agility, even having twice these said attributes than the
best professional athlete. He is a highly trained gymnast, athlete,
swimmer and diver. He is a trained expert in advanced driving
techniques and operation of all types of land vehicles (including tanks
and Armored Personnel Carriers). He is experienced and trained in
advanced electronics and computer hacking (he serves as backup for
Billy, who is the team's resident hacker), criminal profiling and
intelligence gathering. He is a seasoned veteran, even at a young age,
in various undercover work. He is a high-level expert in over twelve
styles of fighting disciplines including military-issue Close Quarters
Combat (CQC), karate, kung fu, boxing, wrestling, jujitsu, tae kwon do,
Thai kickboxing and judo. He is also trained in fencing, sword fighting
and melee weapons combat. Although he does not carry a gun, he is
highly trained in all types of military and civilian small arms and
infantry weaponry as well as having advanced marksmanship skills on
said weapons; he sometimes uses an assault rifle or submachine during
missions, but because of the tragic Iraq mission, he resorts to
disarming assailants when shooting. He is a gifted tactician and
strategist. He is also a qualified and licensed rotary aircraft and
helicopter pilot.
