History: A man of many faces, no one knows his real name or true appearance. Alex is the successful but camera-elusive owner of the HYPE club, Manhattan's premiere night spot. What few besides his right-hand man Shannon knows is that the club is an illusion cast by the Front, who also makes himself appear as a posh white man who serves as host. At $25 a head, the "club" built out of pop-ups in disguised hovels easily clear tens of thousands of dollars a night. This likely attracted the attention of crime boss Anthony Franco, who sent muscle over to force the Front to sign a contract with the mafioso. However, between his illusion powers and the timely arrival of Murdock Ellison's Tribe, the Front managed to escape. This further angered Franco, who called in outside muscle Out Cold to attack HYPE the following night. Ellison saw the Front as a recruitment drive prospect, and left him the automaton Hannibal for protection. Out Cold and Hannibal's fight destroyed much of the club's temporary location, drawing a variety of additional combatants into the fray. The Front attempted to aid Tribe against Lord Deus, but proved ineffective when the villain saw through his charade.

Known superhuman powers: Through a yet to be explained process, the Front is a hyperillusion caster, able to alter the visual surroundings with the power of his mind. His mental projections seem to affect the perceptions of all within an undefined radius.
