Alex Wilder

"Look, I know that it's been a shitty couple of weeks, but, we're friends again, and I didn't think we ever would be. I wouldn't want to save the world with any other crew."

- Alex Wilder to the Runaways

Alex Wilder is a nerd and the son of Geoffrey and Catherine Wilder. Upon reuniting with his childhood friends, they discovered that their parents used PRIDE to cover up ceremonial sacrifices of the Church of Gibborim. He teamed up with his friends and formed the Runaways. Having been framed for Destiny Gonzalez's murder, and with no other choice, they are forced to run.

Early Life
Alex Wilder is the sole child of Geoffrey and Catherine Wilder. Due to his parents being closely affiliated with the members of the charity organization PRIDE, Alex grew up befriending the children of the organization's members.

Alex became particularly close friends with Amy Minoru, as both of them shared the same passion for video games, with Amy being aware that Alex also had feelings for her younger sister Nico. However, while they were playing together in the Timely Coffee, Alex was asked by Amy to examine her laptop and Alex told her that she had been hacked. Much to Alex's bewilderment, this caused Amy to panic and leave the café.

Alex learned that Amy had hacked into Wizard's servers. He offered to accompany her when she would tell that to her mother Tina, but Amy refused and Alex did not insist. Shortly after, however, Amy died, apparently committing suicide, and Alex felt responsible for what had happened. Traumatized by the loss of his friend, he chose not to attend her funeral, something which sparkled the end of his friendship with the other teenagers.

Reunion
"We were friends because our parents were friends. We were just kids. We were always gonna grow apart." "Plus, it's kind of hard to stay friends with someone when all they care about is being the perfect church girl." "Better than the insufferable social justice warrior." "Or a dumb jock." "Yeah, or Molly... I've got nothing against you. You're really nice."

Personality
"You spend all your time alone." "I like hanging out with myself. Okay, how many people can say that?"

- Catherine Wilder and Alex Wilder

Alex is an introverted and quiet individual. Spending most of his time playing video games and engaging in traditionally nerdy activities. After Amy Minoru passed away, his isolated behavior began to increase. Nonetheless, Alex later revealed he does desire to become social once again and tries to re-unite his childhood friends, this action indirectly causing the creation of the Runaways.

Following the discovery of PRIDE's true nature, Alex gained the trust of the Runaways due to his intelligence and firm belief in the team's friendship, as he was able to reunite the group two years after the tragic death of Amy Minoru. He was often responsible for ending the bickering amongst the team, and he skillfully organized the team in pairs in order to investigate their parents and uncover the mystery of their sacrifice victims.

Abilities
"He's a Wilder. He's strong. He's smart."

- Geoffrey Wilder to Catherine Wilder

"From the other side of the screen, it all looks so easy."
 * Gifted Intelligence: Alex is considered to be an intelligent person by many, namely his father and Nico Minoru. The latter called upon him for assistance when she discovered abilities of the Staff of One, believing he could create a solution. She emphasized this by saying "I needed a nerd."
 * Tactician: Alex has a honed sense for strategy from his experience with video games. The de facto leader of the group, Alex is the primary strategist the other kids turn to when they need a new plan. When Molly Hernandez flash-photographed a meeting of their parents sacrificing Destiny Gonzalez, Alex quickly devised a plan to cut the power to his mansion to make it seem like a circuit blew from the usage of the Dematerialization Box, in order to confuse them from believing they were being watched. Chase Stein became annoyed that the team assumed only Alex created plans, but nonetheless they proved effective when he orchestrated the plan to get inside the Wizard Headquarters' and hack into their servers during a PRIDE gala, as well as having their parents witness them attending Atlas Academy's dance as a cover for them secretly sabotaging their parents' construction site. After escaping their parents and Jonah, Alex organized the team to retrieve nourishment and outfits in order to maintain a low profile on the run, and obtained a getaway van to help retrieve Karolina Dean from Church of Gibborim captivity.
