Biography
Maxwell Williams was a young African-American high school athlete with a bright future ahead of him, but became a quadriplegic after a tragic accident, and would have remained so without specially designed surgical implants provided by LexCorp. The Lexcorp implants made Maxwell more than human and he used his new powers to fight crime in Suicide Slum under the name of Maximum. After Psilencer's untimely death, Outburst and his inexperienced teammates in the Supermen of America were deeply shaken and reconsidered their vocation. It was around this time that the team met and recruited Max. Unlike the rest of the Supermen, Maximum's identity was public record.
They met with Maximum, a young hero whose identity was public and who defended the streets of Suicide Slum. Maximum joined them in battle against one Calvin Broderick. Broderick was a disgruntled Lexcorp employee with a secret. (Supermen of America v2 #1)

In this, Bendorion succeeded, and Max inherited the powers of a God. (Supermen of America v2 #5) In the end, Maximum's parents convinced him to relinquish the power, which he sent 'everywhere'.
