Story
- Prologue
- Both Roger and Alex are the result of a military experiment. Doctor Bosconovitch wanted to combine the genes from a martial artist and cross it with a wild animal. It is rumored that Doctor Abel has stolen Roger and Alex and is keeping them with him in his secret laboratory. Alex is a hybrid of a prehistoric dinosaur and a lizard, and he is also the result of splicing Roger's genes. There have been similar species on the Earth many years ago.
- Ending, "Leaping Alex"
- Alex is studying a rock that appears to have a dinosaur fossil in it. A dinosaur's face flashes on the screen and Alex roars and starts running, gradually gaining speed. He runs up the mountain and, having got to see one of his ancestors, happily jumps up into the air, putting one of his fists up.
Trivia
- To unlock him in Tekken 2, you must defeat your Stage 3 opponent with less than 5% health remaining, so the announcer says 'Great!'. This can be done with any character except Kazuya. If your character was selected with a kick button (alternate costume), you will fight Alex on Stage 4; if your character was selected with a punch button (default costume), you will fight Roger instead. The game must then be completed by defeating Devil, or Angel (if Devil was selected), for Alex and Roger to become selectable.
- Alex's Stage 8 sub-boss is Roger.
- In Tekken 2, if you play as Kazuya, Alex is never chosen as the sub-boss on Stage 8; it is always Roger even if you selected Kazuya with a kick button.
- In Tekken 2, if you win 'Great!' with Alex or Roger on the final round of Stage 3, you will fight Kuma on Stage 4.
- In Tekken 2, if you get Alex in Time Attack, Survival or Vs. Game records, Roger's name will be used instead. This was fixed in Tekken Tag Tournament.

(From Wii U Edition)
A deinonychus trained by the military. Scientists harvested dinosaur DNA from insects trapped in amber, and spliced it with Roger's kangaroo DNA to fill, ultimately creating Alex.
