Dark is Max's adoptive older brother and they are very close. They see each other as siblings, and Dark has stated that Max is probably his best friend. They seem to like spending time with each other and even created a group title for the 2 of them, the *Shadow Taxis*.

### Mars

Mars is one of Max's older siblings and the two are very close. They care a lot about each other and Mars has mentioned that life on the boat wouldn't be the same with Max gone.

### Bailey

Max and Bailey are best friends and it is stated that Max would miss Bailey more out of the twins. They share a chaotic energy and seem to like talking and pranking the others.

### Atlas

Not too much is known about their relationship, but Max has stated that Atlas would occasionally check up on him and is the one to discover that he's an UNTB, although he also admits that their advice about it may be what complicated his life. He feels a lot of guilt over their disappearance.

After reuniting,the two's relationship became negative,due to Max still being furious over Atlas abandoning them.

Max is also revealed to have called them 'Ats' as a nickname

### August

Max is August's younger brother. Not much is known about their relationship, but they both love sharks and when finding out Max is a UNTB, August's reaction was 'if he's still my little brother that's cool, just don't let him burn my waffles please', hinting that the two are on pretty good terms. It is also mentioned that Max would occasionally visit August and Clay at the Cardboartian Village.The two overall seem somewhat close,although not as close as Mars and Max.

### Ash

Ash seems to be the only sibling that Max isn't close to. They argue a lot and their relationship took an even rockier turn after Ash stated that Atlas's disappearance was Max's fault. Max believed that Ash doesn't care about him.

After Ash's apology, their relationship takes a slightly better turn. Although not particularly close, the two don't argue and Ash clearly cares about Max. Max is also more comfortable around him.Ash is also shown wanting to save Max from being possesed.

### Ivy

The reasoning for this is currently unknown.
