Liquid gold for bullies8/5/2023 In Season 4, Alex develops a serious relationship with Hunter, a new boy in town. While Alex was initially bullied by an older student named Jessica in Season 1, Jessica's actress, Jessica Alba, left for other projects and the character was replaced with Kelly, a preppy but mean-spirited cheerleader, and later Jo (the aforementioned school bully who goes after Alex and Ray). Vince makes frequent reappearances as a guest character, obsessed with trying to get his job back. Vince, meanwhile, is fired in Season 3, replaced by an asocial Vienna-born scientist named Lars Frederickson. Subplots of the series included Barbara Mack going back to college as a mature student, Alex and her friends being targeted by a school bully, Alex's crush, Scott, turning out to be a fairweather friend, and Louis Driscoll befriending Alex and Ray after moving to Paradise Valley as a new student. Seasons 3–4 take on a more serious and dark development, in which it is revealed that Danielle Atron had been developing GC-161 as far back as the 1970s, and that she may have had fellow scientists and researchers systematically assassinated to cover up GC-161's mutagenic effects on people. The series evolves from Seasons 1–4 from innocent hijinks to darker connotations Seasons 1–2 mostly deal with cheerful misadventures and comedic encounters with incompetent Paradise Valley Chemical staff Vince and Dave. She confides only in Annie and her best friend Ray, choosing to keep her powers a secret from everyone else, including her parents, for fear of what the chemical factory's CEO, Danielle Atron, will do to her if she finds out. Alex finds this exciting and fun however, her powers prove to be unpredictable (occasionally, her skin glows a bright yellow when she is nervous). She soon discovers that it has given her strange powers, including telekinesis, shooting electricity from her fingers, and the ability to dissolve into a mobile puddle of water. While walking home after her first day of junior high school, saddened by an embarrassing encounter with a boy and bullied for having a Trolls lunchbox, Alex is nearly hit by a truck from Paradise Valley Chemical, and during the incident, she is accidentally drenched with GC-161, an experimental substance developed by the factory. The town is largely funded around Paradise Valley Chemical, a chemical factory that employs most of the adult residents, although the factory's staff and history are notoriously shady. But you know something? I guess I'm not so average anymore!"Īlexandra "Alex" Mack is an ordinary teenage girl living with her parents, George and Barbara, and precocious older sister, Annie, in the industrial town of Paradise Valley, Arizona. I know the chemical plant wants to find me and turn me into some experiment. My sister Annie thinks I'm a science project. I was just an average kid until an accident changed my life.
