Michael Max (マイケル・マックス) is a video game character from the Fatal Fury fighting game series.
[edit] History
Born in the slums, Michael Max became a talented heavyweight boxer. He attempted to be the greatest in the sport, but corrupted his own career when he was enticed with money and women. Falling from grace and into misery, Michael headed to Southtown and using his hatred and frustration for the situation to fuel him and his constant battling of Southown thugs, Michael constantly trained to recapture what he had.
He entered the King of Fighters held by Geese Howard tournament believing his powerful fists and grueling training will help him win. Sadly, all his training was rendered sub par by the Lonely Wolves (Terry Bogard, his brother Andy and Muay Thai champ Joe Higashi) and he was easily beaten.
Afterwards, Michael was never seen again. He allegedly retired from fighting for good never to do battle again.
[edit] Trivia
- Michael’s story is initially similar to Axel Hawk, a new boxer in Fatal Fury 2
- He was trained by elder boxer, Axel Hawk.
- In addition, although the game is non-canon, Axel is seen training under Michael Max in Axel's ending to Fatal Fury Special. Whether or not this is canon is unknown, but given that Max was not doing a whole lot else at the time, it is definitely possible.
- Michael briefly appeared in the anime Fatal Fury: Legend of the Hungry Wolf when defeated by Raiden's suplex.
