Amalgam (Marvel Comics) - Alaris

Alaris

Alaris is a fictional superhero in the Marvel Comics universe. He was created by Sean McKeever and Matt Clark, and first appeared in Inhumans #1 (2003).

Alaris is a member of the Inhumans and was part of the delegation sent to Earth, which allowed him to attend human school. Alaris is also an old friend to San but their relationship deteriorated after their Terrigen Mist transformation.

When Alaris stepped into the Terrigen Mist, he turned taller and more muscular, making him a member of the Royal Guard. This caused some strain with his friend San, who wished to be a member of the Guard too (instead however, the gas transformed him into a smaller, weaker creature to be an artist). When a group of Inhumans were chosen to attend college on Earth (University of Wisconsin–Madison, to be precise), Alaris is one of those chosen. He is thrilled by the idea and takes an immediate liking to the Earth and its culture. While he faces less outright dislike than San (because of his more muscular build), his friendly and trusting manner still cause problems, especially when he is scammed out of the group's funds by three men. He later gets a job heavy lifting to pay off the debt.
