Okay I promised an explanation so here we go!!! Also I wanted to note, I definitely messed up wording on some of these. I did not have enough characters to explain in the detail I wanted and that affected how a lot of these were worded, and so some of them are just completely worded incorrectly. My apologies!! And beware of spoilers if you haven't read books 1-11 I suppose!

1. “hijacked a crane to drop a drug barge on a police station.” TRUE ✅ alex did this in point blanc!

2. “watched a man get drowned in 8 million quarters.” TRUE ✅ in eagle strike, damian cray killed a man by drowning him in 2 million dollars worth of quarters, or 8 million quarters total. alex watched this happen.

3. “got shot in the heart by a sniper and lived.” TRUE ✅ at the end of scorpia alex got shot in the heart by a sniper, and we find out in the next book that he lived!

4. “got put into a giant fish tank with only a single portuguese man o' war in it.” TRUE ✅ in stormbreaker the villain puts alex in the fish tank to kill him.

5. “shot his own insane murderous clone in the head.” TRUE ✅ he shoots him in the head in scorpia rising. i suppose it's julius isn't exactly alex's clone, but I don't know how else to refer to him in simple terms. his evil twin? a dr grief clone that was given extensive plastic surgery to look exactly like him? idk i didn't have enough characters to properly explain. you know what i meant.

6. “lit a boat on fire while still on said boat.” TRUE ✅ in skeleton key alex does exactly this.

7. “crashed a helicopter into the science museum in london.” FALSE ❌ I MADE THIS UP. he parachutes into the science museum in london in stormbreaker. no helicopters were damaged in this incident.

8. “blew up a dam to destroy poisoned crops that the govt was going to bomb.” TRUE ✅ it happened in crocodile tears. why? you'll have to reread the book i don't know.

9. “used a plane float as a makeshift kayak & then almost died in rainforest rapids.” TRUE ✅ it happened in snakehead.

10. “got launched into space against his will (instead of a monkey).” TRUE ✅ he replaced the orangutan that was supposed to be launched into space. alex did not want to be launched into space he wanted to go home and i really can't blame him.

11. “disarmed multiple bombs that would've destroyed the entire world.” TRUE KIND OF IN A WAY ✅ okay here's a prime example of my phrasing that is just kind of wrong. alex did disarm multiple bombs throughout the series. in skeleton key, in eagle strike (technically sabina did but alex told her to and she couldn't have done it without him), in ark angel and in snakehead (he technically blew this bomb up but it didn't hurt anyone and he removed access from the villain so that counts as disarming by definition) ((I'm grasping at straws here)). would all of the bombs destroyed all of the world? no but collectively they might've. oops. you still get points if you picked this one because good god I phrased it in an insane way.

12. “got chained to a cement block and thrown into the ocean.” TRUE ✅ it happened in never say die. you don't get context.

okay explanation over! remind me to never work on another poll like this in the middle of the night. i was frantically fact checking myself whilst making this but clearly i didn't do a good job (looking at you answer 11) and my memory is bad. hope you had fun though!

disclosure: this includes books 1-11. reblog for a bigger sample size & throw your hat in the ring to guess what alex hasn't done if you've never seen or watched alex rider !
