Max Action
The leader of the amazing superteam called the Civic Squad, Max Action is a one-man war on crime. Though he leads the Civic Squad for several years, Max Action's true history is a closely guarded secret. Rumors claim he may be a genetically engineered super-soldier, a movie action hero who escaped to the real world, or just a determined man who's pushed human ability to it's limit. One thing's beyond debate, though: his advanced martial arts abilities and finely honed reflexes place him among the most dangerous one-on-one combatants in the world.
