'''The Secret World of Alex Mack''' was a live-action show which aired on [[Nickelodeon]]
▲'''The Secret World of Alex Mack''' was a live-action show which aired on [[Nickelodeon]] and told the story of Alex Mack (Larisa Oleynik), a young girl who lives with her parents and older sister in a planned community owned by a chemical plant, where her parents work. She has a bad first day at her new school, and to make matters worse, a truck from the plant crashes and drenches her in a top-secret chemical called GC-161.
The chemical gives her an... [[Combo-Platter Powers|interesting variety of superhuman powers]]: [[Psychic Powers|telekinesis]], the ability to [[Shock and Awe|zap electricity]] from her fingers, the ability to <s>turn into a puddle of cheesy CGI "water"</s> melt a la ''[[Terminator]] 2'', 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. Unfortunately, Danielle Atron (Louan Gideon)--the head of the chemical plant that created GC-161--wants to see what effect the chemical has on human beings and has decided that finding the kid who was drenched and experimenting on him/her is a good way to go about this. 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.
{{tropelist}}
* [[Accidental Art]]: Robyn's oral narrative "The Dogs Ate My Homework" gets a good grade, even though that ''really was'' the story of what happened.
* [[Accidental Athlete]]: Alex is sprinting down the hallway of her school attempting to avoid being late to class and getting in trouble. She is still late for class, but instead of getting chastised she is recruited for the track team.
Line 51 ⟶ 49:
* [[Naive Everygirl]]
* [[Never Bareheaded]]: You almost never see Alex without some sort of hat on her head. [[Lampshaded]] as sometimes others even mention her frequent hat usage.
** It was also made fun of in a promo for the show, which featured a song called [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAqxrHijNQw "Alex Mack wears a hat."]
* [[Nice Hat]]: See ''Never Bareheaded'', above. Occasionally subverted with hats that were just plain ugly, such as the brown knit cap the production team called the "condom hat".
* [[Ordinary High School Student]]: Alex, she even says "I was just another average kid until an accident changed my life" in the opening credits. It's also worth noting that she wore a similar outfit to the one mentioned in the description of this trope on the day she was soaked with the chemicals that gave her superpowers.
* [[Parental Obliviousness]]: Rather selective. The Mack parents often notice the problem of the episode that Alex and/or Annie is having, but didn't notice Alex's powers or Annie studying her for four years.
