Red Lizard

Alex Reed, aka Red Lizard, is a supervillain and enemy of the Mystery, and is often recognised by his reddish scaly appearance. Because of his reptile like nature, he has many enhanced abilities.

Origins
Alex Reed was often made fun of because of the way he looked. Being done with people laughing at him, Alex designed a serum. He wanted to make a serum that would turn him into a big, scary, reptile-like monster. Instead, he ended up looking like a humanoid reddish lizard after taking the serum. And unlike he wanted, people didn't fear him. They made fun of him and called him a freak. When his parents found out, they were terrified by his new appearance and kicked him out of the house. Desperately wanting to reverse his current state to return to his normal life, Alex started looking for a cure. But after realizing he had spent all of his money on his previous experiment, he turned to a life of crime. In the beginning these were only small crimes, like robbing local shops. However, this didn't pay of enough, so he started to rob bigger places.

Reed had his first encounter at a bank with Mystery, a hero. Having heard how he instilled fear into criminals, he became jealous of him of his status. Reed would come to make his personal life's mission to take down the hero so he would finally be respected by others and seen as a threat.

Personality
Alex was a smart student before his transformation. He was able to create the serum on his own, and has kept his intellect after his transformation too. He often swishes when talking, because of his reptile tongue. He is quite easily jealous at people, mainly because of him getting bullied in the past.
