A\N: Hey People! It's my first attempt at writing a story, especially fan-fiction. Although an avid reader, I hadn't tried writing, and now that I've gathered enough courage and with my class 12th board exams on my door, I'm giving it a try.
Please review, any help is appreciated.

Alex Summers was not normal.
He had been called many names but normal wasn't one of them. Born to a middle-class English family, his father worked as a software engineer in London. He was a quiet one, always observing, rarely expressing. When the concerned parents contacted doctors, it was revealed he was just too intelligent to converse with little kiddies. With an IQ of 220 at the age of six, in the next ten years, he breezed through the academics' side of things. With a triple PhD. in Artificial Intelligence, Nuclear Physics and Cellular Biology, and many projects on the side, he became a world-renowned genius by 16.
Due to his IQ, he had almost perfect recall in combination with a photographic memory. Using that he had learned many things, from martial arts like Taekwondo, Karate, Krav-Maga, Jeet-Kune-do, to various tricks like lock-picking, perfectly lying, acting, dancing just for the heck of it.
He had also developed a semi-AI, which was installed on each of his computerized devices, controlling them on his beck and call. He was also an avid fan of comics, manga, anime, etc. Always wanting to emulate them, those were the times of his childish fun.
When he was twenty, something turned his life upside down, he had a brain tumor stage 2.
It changed his life, from having fun, he began looking for ways to enhance and extend his lifespan. He started doing everything and anything that could help him, from practicing yoga and meditating to try to find ways to increase his body's healing factor.
It helped, within a year, he was more focused and energetic than ever, yoga worked wonders for his body. It was 2 years down the lane he had a breakthrough. Using a combination of chemicals simulating the healing factor of a human body, with the combination of potent nutrient fluids, he was able to return his degrading body to its peak condition. He was the idol of perfect human, except not as perfect, as the tumour was still a nagging problem, even if he now had eight more years to go.
Now, he began focusing on enhancing his brain. He figured if a brain can stimulate antibiotics after a while, maybe it'll develop a natural cure for his problem too. Using the same concept, he began focusing on neural paths of his brain. He tried, and tried really hard, unlocked the 30% of the human brain's potential power, had an IQ of 350 but then he failed.
And he died.
Just not the way he thought he would.
