| - Maximus "Max" Octavius Thunderman is the former antagonist of the 2013–present Nickelodeon show The Thundermans. He is the son of Hank and Barb Thunderman and brother of Phoebe, Billy, Nora and Chloe. Like the rest of his family he has superpowers; namely, telekinesis, freeze breath, heat breath and sometimes the ability to sense danger before it occurs. Now his parents who are superheroes and his sister who wants to become one, he seeks to become a villain instead, not only to enjoy all the cool things that come with the job, but also out of envy towards Phoebe and the desire not to be second best compared to her. Max is somewhat envious of his sister, who is favorite of the family and held will one day become a great superhero. Max is unnaturally (bordering on superhumanly) intelligent and has converted his own room into his lair, which he often uses as a lab. He can also build multiple strange devices and impressive such as a working rocket, doomsday devices and once even managed to clone his own sister. Max is also quite lazy, as despite his great intellect he rarely applies himself in school, preferring to build new gadgets in his lab; however, he will react very badly to any implication that he is incapable of the subjects in question. He is also quite arrogant, but manipulative, cunning and prepared for almost any situation. He's never afraid to exploit and manipulate situations to benefit him. His goal is to get into a prestigious villain university and start his path to becoming a great supervillain. Despite constantly claiming he is a villain, when it comes to true evil, Max is more mouth than action; most of his evil acts are more petty and based in sibling rivalry than outright evil. He also still cares about his family and will come through for them when it matters most.
