Center
Primary
The series explores the complex ethical and societal challenges of individuals with superhuman abilities, balancing themes of government control, individual freedom, and the integration of 'others.' It maintains a neutral stance by critiquing ideological extremes from both sides and championing a pragmatic, balanced solution.
The series features a visibly diverse main cast, including characters of different races, genders, and neurotypes, in roles original to the production. The narrative primarily focuses on the challenges faced by individuals with special abilities and their integration into society, without explicitly critiquing traditional identities.
Secondary
The show "Alphas" features Nina Theroux, a bisexual character whose relationships with both men and women are depicted. Her bisexuality is presented as a natural part of her identity, without being a central theme or a source of significant positive affirmation or negative portrayal. It is an incidental aspect of her complex character.
The show features a female Alpha, Kathy Sullivan, who possesses enhanced strength and durability. She is depicted winning direct physical confrontations against multiple male opponents, including other Alphas, through hand-to-hand combat.
Alphas is an original series that introduced its own set of characters. There is no prior source material, previous installment, or historical record from which its characters were adapted, thus no pre-established genders to be swapped.
Alphas is an original science fiction series that premiered in 2011. It is not an adaptation of pre-existing source material, nor does it feature historical figures or legacy characters from prior installments. Therefore, no characters had an established race to be swapped from.
