## Details

### First Appearance

Gwen 10 season 1 episode 1: and then there was Gwen

**Max Tennyson** is a Hero in Gwen 10. He first appeared in And then there was Gwen. He is a human from the planet earth.

## Appearance

### Regular Appearances

Max Tennyson wears a Hawaiian shirt, one with orange flowers adorning it. underneath he wears a simple black shirt and he also wears white disco pants. his hair has greyed with age and his eye are usually squinted.

## Personality

Max Tennyson is an easy-going, kind, and normally jovial man, Max Tennyson often comes across as pleasantly absent-minded at times but is quite perceptive. For instance, he knew early on in Gwen's adventures who was most likely pursuing him, as he was aware of Vilgax's history having fought the alien tyrant many times before.
Max is a very brave man, having dedicated his life to preserving peace on Earth between humans and extraterrestrial life. His bravery has resulted in his being injured, his DNA spliced, nearly killed in several dozen ways, and more. His prioritization of others' safety above his own even when bereft of a weapon shows his selfless nature at its finest.

## Relationships

Max and verdona are the closest pairing max ever had, being that max and verdona went on to have a family together. and while Verdona was able to be around for much of her children's childhood. however, verdona had to eventually return home to be able to keep in touch with her anodite heritage. however, despite the pair being very close, they agreed to keep the relationship open, knowing that verdona was likely to dissipate for months, or years at a time.

Xylene:

Because the decision to make the relationship open was decided on very early on in the relationship, max was able to have a short, but very meaningful relationship with xylene. during this relationship, max and xylene got very close and max would still consider going out on another date with xylene if given the chance.

Although being there farther, max wasn't ever too close to his children as his need to be a plumber forced him to keep much of his life a secret. however, his children took it in different ways. while frank took it to mean he had to be more independent and more closed off (something his wife and daughter initially did as well) carl took it personally, being that he knew max was hiding most of his life and carl would come to resent his father for this fact.

Max acts as a fatherly figure for ben and he only wants the best for ben. however, he's not above punishing ben when he sees fit. He tries to guide ben down the right path and knows that ben would be likely to become a full-time plumber than gwen. this can often lead to him focusing on ben more than gwen, witch gwen will sometimes abuse this focus to get away with something.

Gwen Tennyson:

being that Gwen is the wearer of the Omnitrix, max can share much of his knowledge of aliens species with gwen. However Gwen's much more mature personality and sense of independence means that he will sometimes ignore gwen in favour of making sure ben isn't causing any trouble. something gwen has no issue with abusing sometimes. however the two are still close and after both hiding the fact they knew vilgax from each other, they've agreed to not hide any more secrets from each other. even if max still hides the fact he knows about the people who dealt with the krakken.

## Powers and Abilities

Max Tennyson, despite being in his 60s, is still very adept in combat as he knows many different forms of combat and can use almost any weapon (as shown when he was able to unlock new features of the Proto-tool ben had not yet found). he also has a wide knowledge of a lot of the different alien species in the Milkyway galaxy. his time in the US Air Force has also made him an expert pilot, meaning that he can fly almost any earth aircraft.

## Weaknesses

despite being able to do everything stated above, max Tennyson is still just an old man, meaning that his age has a habit of catching up to him. along with this, he tends to focus on a few things at once, meaning that the bigger picture can often escape his gaze.

## Trivia

* max Tennyson is the character of the main three whose history has changed the least from his prime counterpart since most of his history came from before the Omnitrix crashed on earth
	+ however, once the Omnitrix stuck itself to Gwen's wrist his future would change. if only minorly until the fourth series.
* max is unaware of ben's anodite inheritance, despite betty and Joel asking if ben was an anodite.
	+ he just believes it was magic ben learned from charmcaster's spell book, knowing that earth magic uses mana just like anodites.
