Maxwell McGrath

Maxwell McGrath, also known as Max and Max Steel, is the main protagonist from the Max Steel (2013) series.
== Charactah Account ==
A normal teenager, who upon moving to a new town finds out is able to generate and control Tachyon Unlimited Radiate Bio-Optimized (or TURBO) energy.
Max is a charismatic, outgoing, heroic and energetic boy. He had a strong desire to know more about his past, just like Steel and would be willing to do risky things to get the answers that they needed, like for example when Max and Steel allied with Colonel Jasper in order to know more about their pasts without knowing that he secretly was allied with Dread.
As Max Steel, he is described as a "intelligent superhero with a wicked sense of humor" by the official YouTube channel. He constantly tries to give good example to other people, for instance, stopping at red lights even when Max is late for school. Max is also altruistic, as he strives to save everyone, including his family and friends, whom he is extremely loyal and deeply cares for. During many times, he risked his own life to save them, like when he gave the last piece of the Turbo Star to Dread (who also states that Max's weak spot is his loyalty for the others) to save Forge.  A remarkable trace of Max is that he is quite optimistic no matter how bad the situation is and during most of the time, while fighting against his enemies, he makes jokes about them. For instance, when Max interacted with Terrorax and made a joke about his mask, he pointed out his "legendary banter". Max also would constantly attempt to defeat villains and contain them and in rare occasions he was forced to kill them.

== Trivia ==
* In some episodes, when Max is not using his mask, some of The Elementors (like Earth and Fire) see his real face, although they don't know his secret identity.
* It was revealed in The Legend of Ja'em Mk'rah that Max is a Tachyon-Human Hybrid, which explains why he generates T.U.R.B.O. Energy, as well the fact Jim McGrath is an alien.
* Max has a crush on Sydney Gardner.
* In Full Metal Racket, Max wore a suit with blue spikes during the concert with his band, which is coincidentally very similar to Turbo Spike Mode, a Turbo Mode that Max unlocked episodes later.
* When he was a baby, he used Steel as a pacifier.
* Max's friends constantly question about his actions, like for example when he uses weird excuses on why he is leaving, how he talks to himself and having a lot absences since he arrived on Copper Canyon High School. In The Dawn of Morphos, Sydney created a theory that in fact, Maxwell McGrath could be Max Steel using as evidences his strange actions and phrases, even though that Molly denied everything.

** Makino, Mortum, Terrorax and the Nexus legion are the only villains who knows about Max's secret identity.
* Initially, Max's action figures weren't as tall as other characters in the line due to the fact that he was a teenager. While villains and other heroes stood around 12 inches, Max stood 11 inches. In 2016 however, Max's action figures now stand the same size as other characters in the line as he got older.
* As seen in Team Turbo, Max learned how to read Planet Tachyon's language.
* According to a reel clip, Max's teenager face took a while to be created and molded, and the final result made the modelers very happy and proud of their work.
* After the timeskip, Max's face is now modeled after his classic counterpart, specifically when he was younger. Following Turbo-Charged, his facial structure was slightly altered.
* In Driven, Max obtains his driver license, which reveals that he was born in June, 07, 1995. It is also revealed that the series takes place in 2012.
