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.
