Spike is a fictional character in NX Files. He is based upon and portrayed by Renshi Alain Moussi, co-owner of NX Martial Arts and Fitness. He is a lead character in the show.
Renshi Spike is one of NX Team Xtreme's dynamic leaders, and its highest ranking member. Spike holds a 4th degree black belt in the art of Mugen Budo Jiu-Jitsu. It has been several years since Spike, his best friends Rex and Tornado formed the elite Martial Arts group Team Xtreme.
Spike is head strong, a natural leader and a passionate teacher and student of the martial arts. He is no doubt the most serious member of the Team, calm and always focused. His fighting style is powerful but fluid, his kicks are precise and effective.
He has developed the ability of Phantom Budo and can create fighting apparitions of himself at will. Although Phantom Budo is an incredibly powerful ability, Spike has yet to fully develop this awesome fighting technique.
He has also shown a slight use of Mystic Budo from time to time. In episode 108, "Origins II – Enter Lord Tragos", he was able to telekinetically open the door even when Tornado was forcing it closed.
Spike is the only member of the team who has had frequent council from the strange beings known as Mr. Black and Mr. Brown. They have guided him and warned him of the strange and unbelievable events that have taken part so far.
During the siege of Full Circle, Spike was the first to encounter the fury of Akuma. Spike managed to overtake the deadly demon and defeat him.
Unfortunately, Spike was not so lucky when the evil Lord Tragos confronted and attacked the team in the warehouse. Tragos overpowered Spike and attempted to use his Kara Takai Technique but Spike resisted. Mr. Black then appeared out of the ether and told Spike to 'let go'. Spike finally put his faith in Mr. Black and succumbed to the powerful dark forces of Tragos.

Famous quotes containing the word spike:
“Directors like Satyajit Ray, Rossellini, Bresson, Buñuel, Forman, Scorsese, and Spike Lee have used non-professional actors precisely in order that the people we see on the screen may be scarcely more explained than reality itself. Professionals, except fo the greatest, usually play not just the necessary role, but an explanation of the role.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
“From a hasty glance through the various tests I figure it out that I would be classified in Group B, indicating “Low Average Ability,” reserved usually for those just learning to speak the English Language and preparing for a career of holding a spike while another man hits it.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
