That’s why he commits quite a few serious crimes and acts of violence. And Clockwork Orange is one of the series’ scariest villains.

Alex is known for wearing all-white outfits and wearing interesting eye makeup. Wearing a white dress shirt, white dress pants, and black boots, he looks sharp and professional.
