| HistoryText
| - Johnny Redmond was the college star quarterback for Penn State and the B.M.O.C . He was destined to become the quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers. One day, in the campus library, Johnny found a book on mystical artifacts in Greece. One of them was a mystical artifact known as the Arm of Hercules, an artifact said to grant anyone who touches it the strength of the Greek god of strength, Hercules. However, it was lost in the ancient Greek city of Heraclea during the great Battle of Heraclea.
Attempting to find this artifact in order to preserve it in a museum , Johnny left the campus with permission from the dean, bringing a group of adventurers, including one Thaddeus Q. Rhinestein, a jealous and snobby rich classmate who was a skilled, although greedy, geographer, and a genius inventor who could pinpoint the last known location of the artifact. Secretly, however, he planned to kill everyone, including Johnny, with an experimental nuclear-powered necroblaster that would blast his victims with high-leveled, lethal gamma radiation.
After arriving at the site of Heraclea, everyone began searching, before Johnny finally found it, on a perched ledge in an old church. Attempting to retrieve it with the help of his colleagues, they were stopped by Thaddeus, who began killing everyone with his nuclear-powered necroblaster. After killing every last one of Johnny’s colleagues, Thaddeus blasted Johnny, but not before Johnny was able to touch the Arm of Hercules. Johnny instantly began transforming, but, due to being subjected to high-level gamma radiation, became four times as big as he was supposed to be. The resulting transformation caused the church to collapse. Thaddeus managed to escape, leaving Johnny to fall underneath massive amounts of debris.
Johnny managed to free himself from the rubble without any difficulty whatsoever. Once he was completely free of it, he realized what he had just done. Finding the book that he had used to learn about the Arm of Hercules, he realized that he was four times the size he was supposed to be. Now 12 feet tall and much more muscular than he was supposed to be, Johnny realized that being hit with gamma radiation and touching the mystical artifact made him much more powerful than he was supposed to have been. Finding the dead remains of his colleagues and friends, Johnny then went after Thaddeus, determined to achieve revenge. Thaddeus, who was hightailing out of Heraclea, was stopped by Johnny, who had leapt so high, he came down right in front of him. Thaddeus, who was in complete shock, attempted to blast Johnny with his necroblaster, only to find out that it had zero effect on Johnny’s new, all-powerful body. Johnny knocked Thaddeus out with a flick of his finger, which sent him sailing into a jail cell a few towns away.
Content in knowing that he had achieved vengeance for his friends, Johnny returned to America, deciding to become a superhero. Calling himself Macho Man, after the hit song sung by the Village People, Macho Man was a mildly successful crimefighter, but found it too easy, and eventually became bored of it. However, that all changed when he was approached by Nick DeCosta, a.k.a. Stryker, a ninja with ghostly powers who was creating a superhero team that worked with the government, and the President in particular. Stryker wished for Macho Man to join his team, which Macho Man enthusiastically agreed.
As a member of the Maximums, Macho Man found that he had much more power than he could’ve ever imagined. He found that he had complete control over his strength, stamina, durability, endurance, resistance, muscular structure, weight, density, and even his invulnerability. He found he was invulnerable to virtually everything, including even the most powerful forms of magic, except for psychic, mental, and thought-based attacks, which he painfully realized when he instigated Psychodude, a newer member of the team with an unusually large head. Later, he learned and mastered several forms of martial arts and fighting, thanks to the efforts of Heatstroke, Stryker, Cheetari, and Mister Melee. He became a team leader a few months later after he joined.
Macho Man has fought several villains of his own, including his archenemy Psycho, a super-intelligent, but completely insane telepath, the Tank, a rogue S.T.R.U. operative who gained destructive war powers by Dark Overlord, Backbreaker, a hillbilly strongman-for-hire and constant rival who has never been able to defeat Macho Man, Mister Invulnerable, a man who gained virtual invulnerability, Lord Naut, King of the Juggernites, the Lunkhead, a misunderstood, but monstrous anti-hero who possesses strength rivaling Macho Man’s, Bag O' Bones, a former jealous classmate of Johnny's who became a living skeleton with the power to control skeletons and bones, and, of course, Bio-rex/the Tyrant King, who has tested Macho Man’s strength and patience several times. Macho Man has saved the team several times over, the most famous being the invasion of the Juggernites, an alien race of massive, six-armed monstrosities, lead by Lord Naut, a being whose strength and power rivaled that of Macho Man. However, he stood his own easily, and withstood some of Naut’s strongest blows without any harm whatsoever.
Macho Man currently resides within the Hero Hood with his teammates.

| Weaknesses
| - Macho Man possesses complete invulnerability to all physical and mystical forces. However, he is completely susceptible to all mental, psychic, and thought-based powers, due to a side effect of the gamma radiation and the magical energies of the Arm of Hercules, although he has, by no means, lost any of his memories, personality, or intellect, thanks in part to the Arm of Hercules. He can easily be hypnotized, mind read, mind controlled, and even be killed by telepathic blasts , possessed, have his mind altered, gain amnesia, lifted by telekinesis, unless he alters his weight above the person’s mental strength , and manipulated by thought manipulation. He also has a psychological need to eat, drink, and even breathe.

| Powers
| - *Superhuman Strength: Macho Man is probably by far the strongest man, even being, in existence. Virtually no one has ever been able to defeat Macho Man in terms of pure physical strength. Macho Man possesses superhuman strength of the Class 100+ level, enabling him to lift in excess of 100 tons. Macho Man possesses the capacity for limitless physical superhuman strength. In times of excitement, especially during the heat of battle, Macho Man's adrenaline levels escalate, which, in turn, causes a corresponding increase in physical strength. There appears to be no limit to the amount of strength Macho Man can achieve.
::*Strength Level Manipulation: He possesses the ability to mentally manipulate his strength levels at will as well, enabling him to achieve any level of strength from peak human strength, able to lift twice his own body weight, to virtually incalculable and infinite strength, so great as to be unable to be measured by any known measuring system. It seems he can also control the strength of any part of his body separately from other parts at will, turning one or all of his fingers to normal strength level, while keeping his arms at strengths capable of lifting automobiles. Based on his punching power and weight, Macho Man can apply over a hundred tons of pressure per square inch to anything he smashes.
::*Strength Absorption: Macho Man possesses the superhuman ability to absorb the strength of virtually any living being or object, no matter how powerful they may be, and add it to his own. However, he rarely uses this ability, as he prefers to show his opponents that he already is a force to be reckoned with.
::*Kinetic Energy Absorption: Macho Man possesses the ability to absorb any kinetic energy and convert it into additional superhuman strength, stamina, durability, endurance, resistance, speed, health, etc. Macho Man must be in contact with the energy in order to absorb it. If Macho Man strikes a blow to someone or something, or is himself struck, he will absorb the energy of that blow. He absorbs the energy of any blow he is struck by, not just punches, but bullets, and to a less successful degree, electricity and other physically based forms of energy. He can also sap blades and sharp objects of their power by sapping their thrusting and cutting energy.
Macho Man can perform hundreds of phenomenal feats of strength:
::*Lifting, Pushing, Pulling and Throwing Incredibly Large and Heavy Objects: He can lift, pull, push, throw, and grab virtually any object or being, no matter how strong, heavy, or dense they may be
- Macho Man is the Mightiest Man in the Universe. As such, he possesses all strength, muscle, stamina, durability, resistance, endurance, weight, density, and invulnerability-based powers.
