Max

Maximilian “Max" was a contestant on Total Drama: Pahkitew Island as a member of the Pimâpotew Kinosewak. He was later switched to the Wâneyihtam Maskwak.
== Personality ==
Max is obsessed with being the most diabolical mind that Total Drama has ever seen. He is constantly boasting about being the personification of the word "evil", claiming that there should be a new word for how evil he is, though he is unable to think of one. Despite his claims, he is actually a very incompetent, pathetic excuse for a villain, and usually causes more trouble for himself then he does for others. Although he has the ability to construct various technological devices, he cannot successfully pull off any of his schemes without Scarlett’s assistance. His knowledge outside of his inventions is not much better, though. He speaks to inanimate objects or animals numerous times, genuinely expecting a response. He is bent on world domination, so much so that using Total Drama as a step towards it was his whole purpose of auditioning. Max himself has admitted that he is quite antisocial, which is why he devotes so much time to being evil. Meeting other people and getting out of his laboratory-like bedroom was another goal of joining. Despite his desire to be a villain, Max sometimes behaved well, as mentioned in his audition tape. As seen in Three Zones and a Baby, he also seems to have a soft spot for children.
