A New Max Thunderman
He lived a life. Not a full one. But a life. A very successful, yet dangerous and thankless one. He kept the world safe, even if how he did it was frowned on.
Then he died, and he got transported to a place he knew intimately. It was certainly an odd choice, that's for sure, but it went based on his subconscious.
Now, he's Max Thunderman, with perfect knowledge of what comes ahead, and a willingness to do whatever it takes to make sure what should have happened, happens.
From living life as a villain while truly being in-between, to living as a hero while truly being an in-between, he was always living half a dozen lives. Keeping hundreds of lies at the same time.
He was capable, prepared, and ruthless. No holds barred, no lines in the sand. He wasn't who this life belonged to originally, he was the furthest from it.
He was A New Max Thunderman.
