Alex Go (고현탁, Go Hyeon-tak; "Hyun-Tak Go"), sometimes known by his nickname Gogo (고탁; Gotak) is a tritagonist in the Webtoon Weak Hero. He a member of Ben Park's Gang, often seen as the second in command, and a first-year at Eunjang High School and in Class 1-8. Though he is considered Ben Park's lapdog, Alex's strength is still recognized by those of the Yeongdeungpo Union despite not being ranked on the Yeongdeungpo Shuttle Patch.

Appearance
Alex is a fairly lean individual, with black hair and green eyes. He is of average height, but he appears shorter when compared to his taller friends, Ben and Gerard. His black hair is styled as an undercut. There is a small horizontal scar across the bridge of his nose.

Alex and Ben are best friends, having known each other since childhood.[1] When they were younger Ben would often call Alex's house for him to come out to play.[2] Both are extremely protective of the each other. Ben is always quick to anger and violence when he sees Alex hurt, such as after Alex's fight with Colton or during their encounter with Forrest, which contrasts with his usual laid-back and peaceful nature.[3][4] Similarly, Alex is quick to violence when he perceives anyone to be speaking poorly of Ben. This is demonstrated in flashbacks to middle school where Alex's frustration towards Ben's inaction against circulating rumors creates a rift between them. It is implied he has become less easily provoked, though there are still situations where he jumps to physical confrontation, such as with Jack Kang.[5]

During middle school, their friendship went through a rough patch due to the boys being separated into separate classes, and Ben constantly restraining from fighting, this led to Alex resenting Ben slightly. This resentment however dissipated after their fight with Jimmy Bae and Donald Na. While not as strong as Ben Park or Gerard Jin, Alex is an accomplished fighter. He trains and practices in boxing. His punches are quick and powerful, allowing him to overwhelm most of his opponents, like Colton Choi. He also temporarily overwhelmed Forrest Lee with said punches.[12] However, they are predictable, as seen by his fights with Forrest Lee and Jimmy Bae, two very skilled fighters who dodged and blocked his attacks with ease.

Alex is very resilient, as it took many punches from Jimmy Bae and Forrest Lee to make him stay down. He also took a clean hit to the jaw from Colton and was unfazed.[13] After he sees the strength of the people around him, he realizes he needs to become stronger and starts training more often.

When fighting, Alex seems to lose all rationality and even begins to laugh psychotically. Later on, he becomes more calm while fighting, although he is still quick to anger when it comes to mentions of Ben. While his academics have not been revealed he seems to take school more seriously than Ben or Gerard, though he will occasionally skip school as well, meaning he may not be as serious as someone like Gray or Eugene.
