Max Russo is a character portrayed by Jake T. Austin from the Disney Channel Original Series, Wizards of Waverly Place.
[edit] Character information
Max lives at Waverly Place in Manhattan with his father, Jerry and his mother, Theresa. He has an intelligent older brother, Justin Russo and a fashionable older sister, Alex . His parents own a sandwich shop called the Waverly Sub Station and all three Russo kids work there.
It is unknown if Max has lived in Waverly Place his whole life but it is known that he has Latino heritage from his mother's side. His mother often tries to get the kids to learn about their Latino heritage. From his father's side he inherited his wizarding skills. It is likely that he is also half Italian from his father, due to the last name Russo and the fact that Alex has stated that they are only half Latino.
Max is known to play soccer as Justin is seen practicing kissing on Max's soccer ball in the episode First Kiss. He also likes to make sandwiches (which is useful as his parents own a sandwich shop) and he loves to eat them even more. Additionally, these sandwiches were good enough to make his family famous...almost, because of Alex.
Max is a witty, cheeky boy, when covering for his sister he manages to get sneakers off of her for it. He is quite smart and always tries to "bend situations to his benefit"; when his sister was in trouble he used the opportunity to tell his dad that he broke his wand. He did not get in much trouble as his dad was busy with his sister.
Apparently, he likes Nintendo, as he is seen with a Nintendo DS and as a Whee (Wii) Wand, which looks, and acts, like an actual Wii Remote, both in the first episode.
[edit] Powers and abilities
Max is a fun wizard and sometimes uses magic irresponsibly but on the whole he prefers to cause havoc without magic. He is quite mischievous and quick to use magic in a situation, like his sister, and it often leads to disaster. However in the end he makes things right with his abilities and help from his siblings. It is unknown if Max is capable of using magic without an aid such as a wand. So far, the only spell we have seen him use is "Comakus Pancakus" when he was trapped on Mars. In the episode Potion Commotion he gets his full powers. He has to wear a hat for days until his powers were in control. In that episode he also uses the spell "levitatus liquidatus" to make a bottle of liquid float. It is also shown in previous episodes that he is behind in learning spells while his siblings are way ahead. For example in episode, Potion Commotion, he is learning wizard training exercise #5 while Justin and Alex are learning lesson #372
