Max is a fictional character in the Marvel Universe. He is an alien, a member of the extraterrestrial race known as the Fortisquains. Max was assigned to observe the planet Earth, and found himself fascinated by its popular culture. The first human from Earth he met was Dr. Stephen Beckley. Max's spacecraft unintentionally vaporized Dr. Beckley and his ship. However, Max was able to use his advanced technology to reconstruct Beckley's body from its base molecules, giving him superhuman powers in the process. Beckley returned to Earth, but a government agency called the Bridge quarantined him and decided to try to capture Max. Just as men from the Bridge were about to kill Max, Comet Man (Beckley, who had escaped) rescued him, and the agents fled. Max wanted to eliminate the human race before its violence could spread, but Comet Man managed to talk him out of it. The two decided to help each other and became friends, later encountering the Fantastic Four together.
