Max Nova

**Maximillian "Max" Nova** is one of the Mechtanium Knights in *Bakugan: Mechtanium Knights*.

## Description

Max is 18 years old and has been battling alongside the Knights for the last 5 years. He's a strong  Ventus and  Pyrus brawler, he actually beat Bryce in his audition battle for the Knights. He's currently the second highest ranked  and  brawler in Interspace, and just barely made it into the top 10 of all battlers.

Max is a cool and collected battler, using his Ability Cards and Gate Cards very logically and calmly. Despite his ranking, he's not always the most confident, but he doesn't necessarily let it show. At least not to his enemies. His friends, and especially Harpus and Rubanoid, can always tell when he's starting to get nervous and they'll jump to his aid and encouragement. Harpus has been described as his "cheerleader" by Rubanoid, usually in a mildly annoyed tone.

## Appearance

Max is a tall and a little scrawny young man. He has somewhat long, brown hair and reddish-brown eyes. Max usually wears a white button-down shirt, jeans, and black eyeglasses. He wears a brown leather belt, but keeps his shirt untucked.

Max's BDDS is silver with red and green highlights.
