History[]
Maxwell Wallace Crock was born to Artemis Crock 7 months after Wally West died. A month after Wally died Artemis found out she was pregnant with Max and was overjoyed. After Max was born Artemis moved to Central City in order to let Max be around his grandparents. Artemis, still wanting to be a superhero and wanting Wally’s legacy to live on, decided to train Max if he decided to be a superhero. Of course being raised by a superhero and constantly hearing about her missions he naturally wanted to be a hero. So at the age of 10 he was trained by Artemis and became her sidekick. The two moved back to Gotham and started their crusade on crime. After a month he found out that he had a power that he decided to call Evolutive Adaption and his training was made harsher, to Artemis’ dislike. He was introduced to Zenna Grayson at the age of 11 and the two became friends quickly. Max was making a name for himself in the Justice League and was given access to the inner part of the Hall of Justice at the age of 15. Max and Zen were both later introduced to Denzel Richiott when they were all about 16 and a few months after that the group refounded the Young Justice program, after the idea being brought up by Artemis. Because he had the most experience he was chosen as leader and Zen was Second-in-Command. However when he and Zen started dating Hawk was promoted for security reasons. He is currently 18, leading the team successfully, and dating Zenna Grayson.
Personality[]
While Max gained most of his looks from Wally he is very defiant, just like his mother. Because of this he usually defies The League and the team does many things that should be League problems. Max is very charismatic, however this may be because any problems he faces will usually be adapted to before he faces them, and often is able to inspire the team even when looking at defeat. And because of crime fighting in one of the most crime infested cities in the United States very little scares him. He is often approached by younger superheroes with problems and he does his best to help them. He doesn't smile very often because of the need to be tough in Gotham.
Quirks[]
- Max has a nervous tick of constantly cracking his knuckles.
- When he is bored he often works on his car or his bike.
- While he is a horrible artist he is very skilled at drawing logos for members of the team for their calling cards.
Appearance[]
Max looks a lot like his father, inheriting his red hair (however it is more orange-ish) and his general looks. However he gets his brown eyes from Artemis' side of the family. His mouth is usually neutral or in a grimace. His usual civilian clothing involves a lot of hoodies and jeans, however he will rarely wear shorts and t-shirts.
His superhero costume is predominately black with with a little bit of burnt orange, most of it making up the arrow that is his and his mother's logo. His shirt is a black long-sleeved skin-tight shirt with the arrow in the middle of his chest. On his left forearm is a wrist computer. He wears black fatigues that he tucks into his combat boots. He also wears a black mask that covers the bottom half of his face with burnt orange markings on it. He has a belt with quite a few pockets and he carries a knife on his right thigh.
Powers and Skills[]
Evolutive Adaptation: The ability to adapt to one's environment through time, hard work, and harsh conditions. He has not evolved very much but is still very strong for his age.
Skills[]
Hand-to-Hand Combat
- He has been through harsh training, but only to speed up his rate of learning and adaptation. And through his hard work and training he is a very skilled hand-to-hand combatant.
Superhuman Strength
- By adapting to the need to be strong Max is stronger than most meta-humans with superstrength, however he isn't as strong as Superman. He has a re-enforced bow so that it doesn't break when he draws it.
Tactical Thinking
- He often plays strategy games, reads books about warfare, and is given hypothetical questions to figure out in order to make better decisions for the team. He is excels at this, making good plans on the fly.
Tough Skin
- Through his constant training and the beatings he takes his skin is much tougher than most peoples, being about as tough as an Atlantean’s skin.
Talking Skills
- In what he considered rough conditions he has learned and almost seemingly perfected talking to girls and comprehending what they mean and what they want. Because of this it wasn't hard for his silver tongue to find a way to defuse hostage situations as well.
Marksmanship
- Max is a very good marksman, claiming to be as good as Artemis was at his age. He is the most skilled with his compound bow however he is very accurate with throwing knives too. This helps him as a quarterback to deliver tough passes.
Leadership
- He has the natural ability to lead and to inspire others, which is very helpful considering his position. He has been invited to join the Justice League but feels like the Team needs him more.
Immunity
- His body has built up an immunity to any foreign toxins or substances. This might be because his father's metabolism was passed down. He is almost incapable of getting drunk, sick, or poisoned (except in extreme doses).
Weakness[]
Max has the same weaknesses that all humans have however his might be harder to exploit.
While he doesn't have a glaring weakness in combat, being skilled in archery and in hand-to-hand combat he is not very good at keeping his composure when lives are threatened, mostly trying to bottle it up but his attacks are somewhat wilder and less thought out.
