(Bashing)
One of the five founding members of the original (now defunct) Beach Patrol
super-team, Max Caldwell (who didn’t bother with a mask or secret identity)
was also the last to leave when the original team broke up. A native of Phoenix,
Max seemed to just wake up with super-powers one day and thought little of it,
in fact, a case could be made that he hasn’t really though about much of anything,
ever… One of those people to whom everything just seems to come, Max is a
guitarist for a semi-sucessful local band called the Black Knights, is in pre-med
or pre-law (he has yet to decide) at UCLA, and spends his copious free time
scoping out the ‘hotties’ in Malibu, playing beach volleyball, life-guarding or
tossing a frisbee.
Given his nearly limitless capacity for ‘babes’ and ‘brews’ and war-stories
about babes or brews he’s had in the past, it would seem that Max is a poster
boy for a beer commercial (and has in fact been in several). He’s even shallow
enough to identify with the protagonist in the average Tom Cruise movie…
He’s currently in a quasi-monogamous relationship with fellow Black Knight
backup vocalist and Nova, Marguerite LaValle, called La Sone in her native
Quebec City.
