The show, which premiered in 1994, follows Alex (Larisa Oleynik), an ordinary teenage girl who, in a freak accident with a chemical plant trunk, winds up with super powers. Not only can she move things with her mind and shoot electricity out of her fingers, she can also transform into a CGI puddle of goo, which back in the ’90s was considered top-notch special effects.

Now 19 years since the show’s finale, there’s been a new, nostalgic interest in the series, which the show’s leading star is quite happy about.
“It’s funny because for a period of time it was very uncool to be Alex Mack, and so I’m glad that it’s like cool and retro,” Larisa said in 2012. “It’s come back around … I still get people asking me to turn into a puddle. It’s kind of funny and cute … I think [the powers] were, for me, more of a metaphor for all the weird changes you go through in that time in your life.”
