Max Headroom was once a TV journalist known as Edison Carter in an dystopian world where most of the government is overruled by Network 23, a greedy TV empire. In this world, only ratings mater, rather than the actual art. One day, Edison finds out about a Network 23's evil secret plan, called the "Blimpvert". The Blimpvert causes people watching any program on Network 23 to explode. Edison tries to send his findings to the president, only to find out that he had been assasinated by the evil network president, who proceeded to send his goons after Edison. It seems that Edison is able to escape the goons on his motorcycle, but he loses his focus, and ends up driving head-first into a Max Headroom sign. Realizing that they just killed there biggest reporter and journalist, the executives along with a genius in electronics, manage to clone Edison by programing his conscience onto a sentient AI being. This clone, has severe amnesia, and is unable to remember his mission or even his name. So he takes the last thing he remembers, Max Headroom, and adopts it as his name. He is hired as a TV host and spokesperson for Network 23. However, the original Edison Carter, isn't actually dead, but severely injured. When Max sees his former self, he remembers his mission and manages to expose the evil executives at Network 23, and stop The Blimpvert. 
After this, he becomes a popular TV personality. He ended up being a TV host on the "Original Max Talking Headroom Show", where he would meet several different celebrities. 
Several years later, Max would be seen as a much older version of himself. He can be seen at a elderly home, alongside several human elders, annoying them, showing he hasn't changed a bit.
