* Kurt Busiek has said that in the imaginary "Astro Comics" line he envisions the Astro City world coming from, Max O'Millions was created in-between the Golden and Silver Ages, during the period superheroes had fallen out of popularity. He had begun as a comic book character in a genre other than superheroes. When the Silver Age hit and made superheroes popular again, he was turned into a superhero. Until and unless there is more information forthcoming, the original comic book genre that this imaginary Max O'Millions likely sourced from is left open for comic book historians of all levels to speculate and debate. | * Kurt Busiek has said that in the imaginary "Astro Comics" line he envisions the Astro City world coming from, Max O'Millions was created in-between the Golden and Silver Ages, during the period superheroes had fallen out of popularity.

* Based on a facial grimace made by Max, some readers speculate that there might be a bit of friction between him and the Silver Agent. This happened during their first encounter with [[Shirak]]. The argument could be that this the result of their age differences, or a slight envy spawned by a power shift as Max gets shuffled to the background when the Silver Agent takes the spotlight and assumes a strong leadership role with Honor Guard. Putting the entire scene into context, other readers interpret that there isn't any friction in the dialog or the body language of the two characters. They are just practicing solid teamwork. The magic of the comics medium is the participation of the reader, which includes them drawing their own conclusions, filling in untold information with their own imaginations. | * Based on a facial grimace made by Max, some readers speculate that there might be a bit of friction between him and the Silver Agent.
