Personality
Alec hosting the World's Greatest Chef.
Alec is enthusiastic and engaging. He enjoys presenting on television, and he tends to be optimistic. Sometimes, he can be unintentionally insensitive, like with Aurore Beauréal when she loses the KIDZ+ competition in "Stormy Weather", or when he mocks Mr. Damocles for his attempt at being a superhero in "The Dark Owl". With Wang Cheng's loss during the finale of World's Greatest Chef contest in "Kung Food", though, he shows a bit of sadness. He knows when to take a situation seriously, especially when akumatized villains are involved, as he listens to Ladybug's warning about XY's life being in danger and immediately cancels an interview with XY to get him to safety in "Guitar Villain". Outside of hosting television shows, he gets along well with others overall, including his co-worker Nadja Chamack.
In "Wishmaker", it's revealed that the reason behind his mocking attitude during his shows has to do with the frustration he has been feeling for not been able to make his childhood dream come true out of fear of being mocked, just like when he used to be mocked for his big hair, what also caused him to shave his head. After being deakumatized, he came to embrace his dreams and becomes the television host he wanted to be, encouraging others to follow their dreams.
As Wishmaker, he insists on making people live out their childhood wishes, a desire born from a belief that he wasted his life not pursuing his own dreams because others always made fun of him. He does not seem to care that the wishes he makes real cause chaos or if his targets want their childhood wish to come true, believing he is making them happy.
Abilities
As a civilian
Alec is talented at being on television, knowing how to relay information, and interact with people that are often contestants and interviewees depending on the show. During those shows, he is both capable of bringing the best or the worse on a person, by either highlighting one's qualities or exposing their flaws in a mocking way.
It is shown in "Wishmaker" that he is skilled at playing the guitar, despite not owning one. He usually plays the guitar using an app on his smartphone.
As Wishmaker
Wishmaker is able to fire flying rainbow stars at any target he wants by using his microphone scepter. Once a person is hit by a star, their childhood dreams will turn into reality even if the targeted person doesn't remember them. According to Ladybug, the targets of Wishmaker are unwillingly forced to live their childhood dream(s), meaning they have no control over it, regardless of whether or not they actually enjoy it. The only weakness is that he has offensive capabilities and apparently can't undo them once the person's dreams came into reality as when a man turns into a Dino Huggie he attempted to attack him with no effects.
