History WMG / AlexRider

Ignore the CelebrityParadox. Imagine Alex growing up to be an incredibly skilled secret agent, but also a disillusioned womaniser who barely cares about his job.

[[WMG: Alex is a young Literature/JamesBond]]

<<|WildMassGuessing|>>

Sure, he signed the Main/OfficialSecretsAct. But he signed it as a minor, under duress. Any lawyer will tell you that the only way a contract under such circumstances would be of any use to anyone is if it were printed on toilet paper.

A large, African-American with an attitude problem and a fear of heights = Wolf and B.A
A very childish Caucasian man = Eagle and Murdock
A overbearing, overprotective Scotsman = Snake (if Hannibal can do a good Irish accent, why not a Scottish one?)
And Fox would be Face, so who cares what his personality is? It's probably fake.

* But then wouldn't [=MI6=] have him arrested or sic their 00 division on him? And they're [[{{Blackmail}} blackmailing him]], using Jack's expired visa. If he says ''anything'' to any''one'', Jack will be sent back to America, and he'll be forced to go to an orphanage. Yet again, [[{{Mysterynovelist}} this troper]] doubts that [=MI6=] could still blackmail him if Alex went public with the truth, but it's still something to consider.

* It's made obvious in Crocodile Tears he ''doesn't'' want the story to go to the media, because then he'll lose whatever he had of a normal life and become an international celebrity.

[[WMG: Alex died fighting with his clone in Point Blanc]]

* But he couldn't possibly have fooled Jack (especially since Alex wasn't even disclosing his real name in Point Blanc).
* Besides, he had memories of his previous adventures that had a massive impact in later novels (like Scorpia and Snakehead). There's no way the clone could have access to them.

[[WMG: The original Alex Rider died in Scorpia]]
In Point Blanc, we see the perfection of ''cloning technology for humans''. We're expected to believe that the government didn't take advantage of this in any way? Perhaps either they:

Of course, they'd need a way of planting false memories so the clone didn't realise, but in the latter case, perhaps they developed that while he was out, and he's simply made to believe no time has passed. (It'd explain why we go from 2000 to 2009 tech between Stormbreaker and Crocodile Tears without so much as a year passing...)
* {{Jossed}} by Ark Angel - in the opening chapters, Alex is recovering in hospital and Horowitz explains how the bullet didn't kill him.

[[WMG: Alex is a young JamesBond]]

* "Hello, my name is Alex Rider. I'm not even 18 and my life is SO AWESOME that you want to print it. MI6 has a child spy program, like on that kids show, but it's real and I'm in it. My uncle was a spy and he taught me and the housekeeper to do martial arts, skiing and kill people with blowfish. I've been in space, and I've saved all the schools from the Prime Ministers chronies, and I killed this black guy who was turning white. Give me money!

* Besides, he had memories of his previous adventures that had a massive impact in later novels (like Scorpia and Snake Eyes). There's no way the clone could have access to them.

- Created their own clone of Alex from scratch and artificially induced ageing

[[WMG: All of the events in the books are fabricated by M16.]]

** 2: Render working for M16 his only choice for a career. With all the time Alex has spent missing school, he's fallen dramatically behind in his schoolwork, he'll eventually fail as the trend continues, and without a basic education, his only hope for a job will be M16.

* No, not ''that'' kind of sick (although I suppose that's true too), but sick in the head in such a way that every single one...and I mean EVERY. SINGLE. ONE! suffers from an irresistible compulsion to spell out his or her plan in minute detail, outlining exactly what their goals are and how they intend to accomplish them, practically giving Alex all the information he needs in order to beat them on a silver platter. Seriously, how id these people meet with any success ever?

* He's a Time Lord.

*** True...

* Besides, he had memories of his previous adventures that had a massive imapct in later novels (like Scorpia). There's no way the clone could have access to them.

1: Train Alex. Make him ruthless, increase his skills, and get him used to the life
