The Secret World of Alex Mack is a Nickelodeon television series created by Thomas W. Lynch and Ken Lipman. It tells the story of Alex Mack (Larisa Oleynik), a teenager who lives with her family in Paradise Valley, Arizona, with her parents and older sister in a planned community owned by a local chemical plant. She has a bad first day at her new school, and to make matters worse, a truck from the plant crashes and inadvertently drenches her in a top-secret chemical called GC-161.The chemical gives her an interesting variety of superhuman powers: telekinesis, the ability to zap electricity from her fingers, the ability to melt a la the T-1000, and glow when she senses danger or gets upset. Her best friend Ray Alvarado (Darris Love) and her older sister Annie (Meredith Bishop) learn soon after and try to keep it a secret from anyone else, including Alex and Annie's parents, George (Michael Blakely) and Barbara (Dorian Lopinto). Unfortunately, Danielle Atron (Louan Gideon)—the head of the chemical plant that created GC-161—intends to see what effect the chemical has on human beings and to do so, she tries searching for the kid who was drenched and experimenting on them. She enlists the help of Vince Carter (John Marzilli), the head of plant security, to track her down. Vince is partnered up with Dave Watt (John Nielsen), the driver responsible for the accident, who may or may not (more likely the latter) be able to recognize the child.The show ran for four seasons on Nickelodeon from 1994 to 1998. A series of chapter books for kids was also released alongside the show. | |

Hero Antagonist: Dave qualifies without knowing it. While he actively helps Danielle and Vince, he honestly thought he'd be helping "the accident kid." When he realizes both of them are corrupt and have no intentions of helping the kid, he secretly plots against them for the rest of the series. | |

Lampshade Hanging | |
| The Secret World of Alex Mack / int_2a090d00 | comment |
Lampshade Hanging: When Hunter and Alex are discussing what a kid would do if he/she was doused with the chemical, Hunter says "you'd be stupid not to" tell your parents. It was never clear why Alex never told her parents about her powers. In the finale Barbara says she and George must be the most oblivious parents in the world for not realizing Alex was the GC-161 kid and had powers. No kidding. | |

Batman Gambit | |
| The Secret World of Alex Mack / int_38d02d44 | comment |
In "The Feud" Ray almost sells Alex out to the plant, just because he's miffed she didn't invite him to a concert. He's never properly called out on this. YMMV on this though, since Ray reveals that he had no intention of selling her out, and pulled a Batman Gambit on Vince instead. | |

I Just Want to Be Normal: During the first season (and some parts of the second season), Alex frequently complains about her powers and wishes she never had them. Despite the trouble they get her into and the people hunting her down because of them, she grows to enjoy her powers. The lead actress claims that Alex keeps them at the end of the series when given a chance to be normal. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness: In the first episode, Annie is often snarky and mean toward both Alex and Ray. She becomes more nice and pleasant as the series goes on. In the season 1 episode "Alex and Mom" While Danielle Atron is supercilious and condescending and hassles Barbara, she comes off more as just a demanding boss than the evil mastermind she is as the series goes on. | |

| The Secret World of Alex Mack / int_5b6e57e | comment |
Required Secondary Powers: When Alex turns into an amorphous puddle, she also can turn things she touches (usually her clothes) amorphous as well, though this takes at least some effort—the first time she tries it, she ends up naked. Also, she can still see while amorphous, despite no longer having any visible eyes, and can speak, despite lack of a mouth. | |

Enigmatic Institute: The Paradise Valley Chemical Plant has been conducting secret research into a new kind of chemical, GC-161 (intended to be some kind of wonder weight control pill), but when things threaten to expose their activities, they go to extraordinary lengths to track down any possible leaks, both to protect their product and because GC-161 contains illegal substances. Their most persistent loose end is the unknown kid who was drenched in the substance when the truck transporting it crashed. They spend the rest of the series trying to identify and secure this kid. | |

You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: At first, Danielle was interested in keeping the GC-161 child alive as a test subject. However, once the development of the GC-161 reaches a level where having the child would be of no use to further development, she wants the child destroyed, especially to cover up any evidence of her wrongdoings. | |

Cut Lex Luthor a Check: When Danielle Atron realized that GC-161 has too many side effects to be used as a weight loss product, she decided to sell it as such anyway and leave the country with the money before the FDA would realize what happened. It never occurred to her that she would be able to make a lot more money (and not be an outlaw) if she would sell it to the army as a Super Serum. | |

Karma Houdini: In "The Feud" Ray almost sells Alex out to the plant, just because he's miffed she didn't invite him to a concert. He's never properly called out on this. YMMV on this though, since Ray reveals that he had no intention of selling her out, and pulled a Batman Gambit on Vince instead. Vince himself, who is easily as much of a villain as Danielle Atron, as it is unknown what happens to him after his last appearance in Season 4's "Leaving". | |

Near-Villain Victory: Danielle nearly had her secret safe and sound and her escape ensured: She had the Plant rigged to blow, made certain that Alex, her parents, and Ray would perish in the blast, thus covering up any evidence of her misdeeds with GC-161, and had a helicopter ready to pick her up and evacuate her before the FDA arrived. Too bad for her, Alex is able to get everyone safely out via her powers before the bombs blow, and Hunter restrains her from reaching her escape helicopter, forcing it to retreat without her as the FDA arrive as The Cavalry thanks to Dave warning them in advance to arrest her for her crimes. | |

Be Careful What You Wish For: "I wish I'd never been born at all." The All Just a Dream episode shows that, had Alex not been there to be doused by GC-161, well... Her mother Barbara would've been doused, then she'd be captured and used in experiments. With the side-effect of her father George not being able to ascend at work and her sister Annie being unable to develop her Tween Genius potential. | |

Lethal Joke Item: According to George Mack, GC-161 was intended for a mundane usage.note A dietary aid for weight loss. Guess they need to go back to the drawing board with that one. | |

Nightmare of Normality: In two different episodes, Alex dreams a world where she was never born, and she also dreams of a world where Ray is the "GC-161 kid" instead of her. In both dreams, the outcome isn't good. | |

Snap Back | |
| The Secret World of Alex Mack / int_ec911c96 | comment |
Snapback: Due to episodes not being aired in production order, there is a moment that seems this way. In one episode, Ray provides the plant with false evidence as to the identity of the accident victim (in order to get the $250 reward), and accidentally convinces Vince that he himself is the kid. He nearly gets vivisected, but Alex helps him escape. In the next episode, in which all of the students in Alex's school get one-day jobs at the plant as part of a project, Ray is working with Atron herself and Vince doesn't seem to recognize him. Later episodes actually have Ray covering his face as he walks past Vince. | |

Correspondence Course: One plot has Dave taking a course in detective work and eventually discovering Alex's secret identity. This also led to him using Obfuscating Stupidity for the rest of the show to stop anyone from realizing he knew. | |

Blob Monster | |
| The Secret World of Alex Mack / int_ee19d278 | comment |
Blob Monster: Alex's most recognized power is turning into goo. She goes from a jellyfish-looking thing to actual silvery goo after some CGI upgrades in Season 2. In the book "Halloween Invaders", Alex suffers an allergic reaction to some costume makeup that Robyn puts on her, causing her to semi-morph into an actual blob monster. Things get dangerous when she's mistaken for an alien that Vince wants to capture. | |

Platonic Life-Partners | |
| The Secret World of Alex Mack / int_f627b434 | comment |
Platonic Life-Partners: Alex and Ray, a rare example of a platonic friendship portrayed realistically. In one fourth-season episode, Ray gains a girlfriend, and Alex grows jealous because Ray spends more time with his girlfriend than with her now. Both Alex's parents call her out on this, saying that Alex is acting like a jilted ex and has never been romantically interested in Ray, so she should be happy for him instead. Alex and Ray's girlfriend eventually come to terms because the girlfriend admits that Ray cares about Alex more than anyone else. It definitely helped that she helped Alex out when Jo (mentioned above) tried to bully her again. | |

Beware the Nice Ones: Alex. She may be a sweetie normally but she has some a bunch of weird powers that could possibly kill a person. Also there is a Jekyll & Hyde plot episode which shows she has a dark side as well. Further, when her good and bad sides recombine she admits at the end it was kind of fun to be the bad girl. | |

Dark and Troubled Past | |
| The Secret World of Alex Mack / int_fed93e1b | comment |
Dark and Troubled Past: In a Season 2 Halloween special episode, Alex learns of a house where supposedly a little girl was abused and forced to stay indoors by her mother, then raised by her grandparents as a child prodigy who later moved away to go to school. The episode's ending reveals that the little girl was in fact Danielle Atron. A newspaper clipping in Hunter's bedroom in Season 4 reveals that Danielle narrowly escaped a fire at a rival chemical plant where she was injured, suggesting possible arson. Vince reveals to Dave in Season 1 that he was a victim of bullying in school, always getting beat up by other people. We also learn throughout the series that Vince was a Navy SEAL with a dark past probably involving murder and corruption. Hunter reveals in Season 4 that Paradise Valley Chemical has been involved in illegal research and that his own father was an attempted whistleblower murdered by the company to keep his silence. A character called Chappy, a hobo who used to do chemical research, also reveals in the series that Paradise Valley Chemical has been researching GC-161 since at least the 1970s, when Danielle Atron would have only been in her early 20s, a fact that surprises even Lars when he and Annie both come across this revelation. | |
