**MJ** is one of the protagonists in the Black Lion franchise. He's the youngest son of Max and Jessica, youngest brother of Tommy and one of Matthew's best friends.

## Background

MJ was born five years after Tommy was born. He spent the first couple of years at the house with his parents. At the age of 3, MJ started his first day of preschool where he met Bucky and Leon. They initiated a long-lasting friendship after playing hide-and-seek at their houses. As MJ grew into a teenager, he started high school. However, upon starting his first day at high school, he became the main target of the school bully, Butch. MJ tried his best to ignore the bully but his insults deeply harmed the Otter. Luckily, Tommy was there to stand up to the egotistical jerk. To increase his self-esteem, MJ took some karate classes to help him have a stronger self-confidence.

In the present day, MJ was walking out of his first class and was walking to his second class, Butch smacked the otter's books out of his hands and kicked onto the ground, where the bully laughed sadistically. Gaspard came to the Otter's side and helped him pick up his books as they kindly introduced each other. The students left to go to their classes and promised to sit with each other at lunch. During MJ's second class, his teacher handed the students a form for the remote control plane race, the Saturday coming up. As MJ said he's going to win the race, Butch insulted the otter and said that he'll win the race. Determined to prove Butch wrong, MJ immediately went to the toy store to buy himself a toy plane.

Once he arrived back at his house, he tried it out on the backyard but MJ lost control of the plane and it crashed into a power line and was destroyed. MJ then knew he couldn't win the race with his plane destroyed and not having anymore money to replace it. He then had the idea of asking Matthew for help since he's a scientist. Matthew kindly agreed to help MJ fix his toy plane. Upon learning that Butch is entering the race, he made the plane indestructible, so the bully won't make attempt to destroy the plane.

The next day at the plane competition, Butch added weapons to his plane to eliminate his competition with MJ. And to keep the judges from finding out that Butch cheated, he had his minions destroy the cameras to prevent them for ruining his plans. Luckily, thanks to the defense mechanisms that Matthew installed MJ was able to dodge Butch's plane and expose his dastardly crimes to the school. Butch was disqualified and MJ won the trophy. He thanks Matthew for helping win the race and promises to help him in any way he can.

### Personality

MJ is portrayed as a shy, jumpy, nervous and independent individual. Just like regular otters, he's shown to be very intelligent and bright. He is shown to have highly developed social skills and immediately engages the people, he meets into friendly activities. As a result of being an otter, MJ is a loving and caring friend. He immediately comes to their side if they're ill or in distress. When MJ usually meets someone who is taller and stronger than him, it might take him a while to warm up to that person, which poses as an example of his shyness.

MJ definitely isn't afraid to stand to his arrogant and rather selfish brother, Tommy. They are bound to have arguments about certain things that their parents find ridiculous. They seem to enjoy teasing each other but not in a rude manner. They may have their differences but if something happens to each other, they'll do anything to save each other. Usually at the end of a certain episode, the brothers end the episode by reconciling with each other.

As the best friend of Matthew Wooten, MJ strongly looks up to him and hopes to be like him. In the "Personality Changer, MJ believes that battling a dangerous villain who did nothing is heroic until the two were along in Redpaw's lair. He has a habit of stealing Matthew's inventions to help him with whatever happens at school or home. After having talk between the human and otter, MJ does everything he can to fix everything that he has done.
