Max Sr. (Don Francks) is the father of Maximus. Like his son, he is a criminal, though more in the style of a gang as opposed to his son's supervillany. It is implied in "The No-L 9" that he was Maximus' predecessor in his evil empire before his son had inherited it. As such, while he has henchmen, he does not have a paramilitary force. Despite the fact that Maximus is a successful super villain, his father still treats him like he is worthless and insults him at every turn; Maximus stated that growing up, his father constantly teased and taunted him. As such, Maximus often assists (though in a discreet manner) in bringing his father to justice.
