H I S T O R Y
Born with extraordinary powers that he kept hidden, Bobby McMillan,
with the help of his high school football coach, learned to control
and develop them and became the Seattle super-hero Max, soon joining
an all-new incarnation of the city's famed hero team, Forte...a new
team that, on its first meeting, stopped an extra-dimensional invasion
of Seattle, saved the lives of several earlier Forte members, and stopped
a mystical global quake that would have leveled pretty much every city
on Earth. After five years and much fame with that team (and helping
save the world a couple of more times), Max made a very difficult life
decision to leave Forte and his friends there behind and accepted an
invitation from original Forte founding member Mist to come to San Francisco's
aid and join a new hero team called Forge.
A B I L I T I E S
Max has super-humanly heightened strength and speed, can withstand large
amounts of physical and energy damage, and has the ability to fly at
great speeds. He can channel the energies within him into a massive
telekinetic blast he refers to as "the Max Effect" (though
this does leave him in a weakened state). After graduating college during
his Forte years, Max has become a computer programmer, and is just beginning
to reach his potential in this area.
P E R S O N A L I T Y
Max is a shy, unassuming and humble young man, who doesn't seem to see
all the greatness in himself that others do. He can be naive at times,
and not always quick on the uptake, but he has the heart of a true hero,
a genuine love for all people, and an unshakeable dedication to doing
what's right and making the world a better place.
