Speculations, Theories
- There was some sort of animated show featuring Max during the mid 1970s.
- May have been present, in an updated costume, to fight Madame Majestrix's Invasion of Astro City in 1973 (see DA1:4, page 9, lower panel).
- 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. What genre Max O'Millions likely originally a Richie Rich type character
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
