A German national of mixed German and Mexican parentage, ‘Maxei’ was visiting his mothers home country when he
encountered a dull grey piece of hardened magma, leftover from an ancient
eruption. This stone pulsed with power, and Max impulsively touched reached out
and seized hold of it, as the ancient powers locked within it reached out and
seized hold of him in turn, transforming his flesh into stone, and replacing
his heart with fire.
He has since learned to control the transformation from Maxei to Vulkan (in English, he
is called
Maxei is tall and works out, dying his light brown hair black, and
affecting an androgynous ‘goth’ look in human form,
which is popular at the gay dance-clubs he tends to frequent in his off time.
As Vulkan, he is still clad in leather, but tends to
be no-nonsense, other than the near-constant stream of German and Spanish mixed
profanity that accompanies him into battle, as he ‘talks smack’ with the best
of them. While capable of delivering a brutal beating, he prefers to start with
Intimidating displays, and only loses his temper if one of his team-mates is
injured, as he is extremely protective of his friends.
