* LovableJock: {{Downplayed}}. Kinda. He's an AxCrazy psychopath who is positively ''gleeful'' about the idea of murdering people, so not exactly a good person. All that said, Max otherwise fits this trope well. He takes the time to help teach Cole about how to stand up to bullies and regularly compliments Cole for being badass himself.
