History Characters / Alphas

* AwesomeNessByAnalysis

* PsychosomaticSuperpowerOutage: When under stress his downside makes his skills worse than the average person.

* VitriolicBestBuds: Type 2 With Bill

* CharacterDevelopment: He respects Bill more (and actually defers to him on occasion), and treats him more like a friend, after "Bill And Gary's Excellent Adventure". Also, throughout the first season he's trying to learn to become more self-sufficient and independant, as well as trying to be able to learn and do more things he normally would not, such as lying.

* HatesBeingTouched: Like real life autistics, except with people who have earned his trust like Dr. Rosen, his mother and, eventually, the other members of his team. Also, [[spoiler: Anna once they become friends]]. Anyone else will provoke a reaction ranging from, depending on circumstances, annoyance to outright hysteria.

* LackOfEmpathy: Downplayed and justified-as with most people with autistic spectrum disorders, Gary tends to be oblivious to the feelings of others. It's not that he doesn't ''care'' though, and he's working on it.

A high funtioning autistic man with the ability to [[{{Technopath}} see and interact with the electromagnetic spectrum]]. Gary still lives with his mother and is very dependent on the team's help, but over the course of the first season he becomes more and more self-sufficient. [[spoiler:He develops an odd friendship with Anna, one of the leaders of Red Flag, which prompts him to start thinking of the relationship between alphas and humans.]]

* MadeOfIron: He can stand still and take a beating from three armed men, one of whom is ''tasing'' him continuously, without moving. Partially explained by his ability to control his adrenaline rushes, as adrenaline is known to make it easier to ignore pain. The aches, pains, and injuries he must logically have collected don't seem to effect him later, either.

A * GadgeteerGenius, and one of the first Alphas that Rosen's team ever helped (well before the start of the series). She goes on the run in "Catch and Release" from [[spoiler:her NSA handlers, after reneging on a deal to create advanced technology for the government. At the end of the episode, Rosen helps her disappear.]]

* CharacterDevelopment: Gained a bit in Unusual Suspects. Prior to that he was just the [[{{Jerkass}} guy who went around detaining Alphas]].
