Powers He has the ability to grow in volume. He uses a giant size to fight crime. Mr. Smartie Notes: need more info here, and we should be able to pull together a History-Table of sorts power name power information and details Speculations, Theories There was an animation series featuring Max during the mid 1970s. Circa 1973, and wearing an updated costume, Max may have been involved in defending surface dwellers against Madame Majestrix's Invasion. 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. There also almost seems to be a bit of friction between Max and the Agent, maybe highlighting their different comic backgrounds and evidenced later as Max gets shuffled back as the Silver Agent takes the spotlight and leadership role of Honor Guard Footnotes
