| 9 | The protagonist of the show. A normal teenager, who upon moving to a new town finds out is able to generate and control Tachyon Unlimited Radiate Bio-Optimized (or TURBO) energy. |
| 10 | ---- |
| 11 | * TwentyFourHourArmor: Max has to keep his Ultralink suit all the time to contain his TURBO energy, though Steel can use a "camouflage mode" so he can "wear" his regular clothes over the armor. |
| 12 | * AlliterativeName: '''M'''ax '''M'''cGrath |
| 13 | %%* BadassBiker: When using his TURBO cycle. |

| 16 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: He's quite friendly, but if he's pushed far enough, it won't be pretty. |
| 17 | %%* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: A side-effect of seemingly talking to himself. |
| 18 | %%* CoolBike: The Turbo Cycle, a motorcycle made specifically for Max so it doesn't overload due to his power. |
| 19 | %%* CoolCar: The Turbo Car, made from Max's lemon of a pickup truck which was overhauled by Berto. |

| 31 | * LegacyCharacter: [[spoiler:''Earth Under Siege'' reveals that Max's dad was the original Max Steel and the reason he has his TURBO powers.]] |
| 32 | * LightIsGood: He's the hero of the show and dressed in a white suit to match. In "Turbo-Charged", however, Max gains a new black and green suit, making him more akin to his classic counterpart. |
| 33 | * LightningBruiser: Remarkably strong and agile due to his ability to switch combat modes near instantaneously. |
| 34 | %%* LivingBattery: Of TURBO energy. |

| 37 | * NiceGuy: Definitely so, despite his tendency to [[DeadpanSnarker snark]]. [[BewareTheNiceOnes He can be made to anger though if pushed]]. |
| 38 | * OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent: At first and supposedly. Though he does have a heroic/confidant/cocky side as seen when he takes on the bullies to protect Kirby before his powers completely manifested. |
| 39 | * PowerIncontinence: Because he constantly produces TURBO energy, when Steel isn't regulating him, most technology he handles tend to overload and blow-up. |
| 40 | %%* SuperNotDrowningSkills: TURBO Scuba. |
| 41 | %%* SuperSpeed: TURBO Speed, unsurprisingly gives him super speed. |
| 42 | %%* SuperStrength: TURBO Strength and Super. Strength is the mightier of the two. |

| 47 | * ThisIsUnforgivable: By the end of ''Turbo-Charged'', Max is pissed off at Terrorax, as he transformed his energy into a mass destruction weapon. |

| 55 | ---- |
| 56 | * AIIsACrapshoot: [[spoiler: The main reason he's wanted by his own kind is that he willingly rebelled from Makino. Something that's supposed to be impossible.]] |

| 59 | * BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: [[spoiler: In "Earth Under Siege", he ''finally'' learns the secret of his past…and he doesn't take it well.]] |
| 60 | * BerserkButton: Steel hates it when N-Tek keeps secrets from him, particularly ones about his past. |
| 61 | %%* CyberCyclops |
| 62 | * DeadpanSnarker: His main snark target being Max, though Max'll just snark right back so it's pretty even-sided. |
| 63 | %%* {{Deuteragonist}} |
| 64 | * DittoFighter: Mimic mode lets him mimic Turbo modes that Max is in at the time. |
| 65 | * GenerationXerox: [[spoiler: Max's father was Steel's former partner.]] |
| 66 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He can be quite obnoxious due to his snarkiness, but he genuinely cares for his friends. |
| 67 | * LaserGuidedAmnesia: Steel and the N-Tek personnel seem to have a history, one that Steel himself has no recollection of. He also has a history with the Elementors that he cannot recollect. [[spoiler:Taken further when it's revealed that the Elementors are Ultralinks like himself. Also Extroyer's Ultralink as seen from its memories.]] |
| 68 | ** [[spoiler: He finally learns about his past in "Earth Under Siege". And he finds out the hard way.]] |
| 69 | * MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch: [[spoiler: Steel isn't too happy to learn that his species is an invading force responsible for the conquest of many worlds.]] |
| 70 | * PintSizedPowerhouse: Small in stature, big in power. |

| 72 | * PowerLimiter: Feeds on and regulates Max's Turbo energy. |
| 73 | * PuppeteerParasite: He's bonded to Max and feeds on his TURBO energy. He can also take control of his body at will. |
| 74 | * TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Gives one to Ferrus in ''Earth Under Siege'': |
| 75 | -->'''Ferrus''': "Steel... I'm sorry for doubting you." |
| 76 | -->'''Steel''': "No, you're not! I know what I am to you, Forge. [[spoiler: A Makino]]. Not to be trusted. You don't care about me and you never will. Sorry, Max, but from here on, I can't be a part of N-Tek." |
| 77 | %%* RobotBuddy |
| 78 | * TheSymbiote: To Max. Without him to keep his TURBO Energy in check, [[PowerIncontinence Max would go critical.]] Plus, he's only functioning because of Max's TURBO Energy. |

| 95 | Berto's younger sister and a member of Max's Team Turbo. She is often referred as "Little Thunder" by her brother. Her alter ego is Tempestra and her modes are weather-themed. |
| 96 | ---- |
| 97 | * ActionGirl: She is the only female member in Turbo Team. |
| 98 | * AllThereInTheManual: Her backstory was also never fully explained in the show (though Steel mentioned her brothers, and Rayne herself revealed a little about her past when she used to play with Berto in a farm house that he had built), only on the official website. |
| 99 | * BerserkButton: When someone calls her "Little Thunder" or simply little. |
| 100 | * {{Brainwashed}}: [[spoiler: Rayne is brainwashed alongside with Alex and C.Y.T.R.O. to become one of Mortum's "Heralds of the Technopocalypse" and attempts to kill Max and Steel. In fact, she was the hardest member to defeat.]] |
| 101 | * BoyishShortHair: Rayne has short black hair with purple bangs. |
| 102 | * CuteBruiser: Rayne is the smallest member of Team Turbo, yet she's very strong and could easily overpower dangerous villains, especially when provoked. |
| 103 | * ElementalPowers: Her powers enable her to control the weather. |
| 104 | * {{Fanservice}}: With the exception of "Turbo-Warriors", all the movies have instances where the camera focuses on her butt. Her suit also is skin-tight and shiny, which accentuates her curves. |
| 105 | * {{Foreshadowing}}: Before she became a member of Team Turbo, her hair and attire were purple, colors that later on would be the colors of her armor. |
| 106 | * PoweredArmor: The Connect-Tek suit that she wears gives her powers. |
| 107 | * PunnyName: Her name is a nod to the word "rain", which makes an allusion to her weather-themed powers. Her alter ego, Tempestra, makes a reference to the word "tempest". |
| 108 | * SmallGirlBigGun: In "Team Turbo", she claims that she is an amazing markswoman (and that also she comes with her ''own'' killer robot). In the sequel, she is proven right, as she took down a lot of zombies with her blaster. |
| 109 | * {{Tomboy}}: |
| 110 | * ToylessToylineCharacter: She is the only member of Team Turbo who probably will never get an action figure, according to WordOfGod. [[GirlShowGhetto You can probably guess why.]] |

| 120 | %%* {{Flight}} |
| 121 | * FunWithAcronyms: '''Cy'''bernetic '''T'''actical '''R'''obotic '''O'''perative. |
| 122 | * IronButtMonkey: Subsequent episodes after ''C.Y.T.R.O. Attacks'' have the poor robot constantly beaten up or blown to pieces. |
| 123 | * TheJuggernaut: After being upgraded by Berto, the thing's nearly unstoppable. Missiles, brute strength, laser blasts don't do anything to him. Even Max's "Turbo Touch", which overloads any machine, has no effect on him. |
| 124 | %%* MacrossMissileMassacre |
| 125 | * RunningGag: Just how many times will they blow the damn robot up?! |

She was also seen in the mini episode "Hot Water", but that episode's canon status is questionable. |
| 136 | * HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: She has blonde hair and is very loving. |

| 270 | Former employee of N-Tek, Miles saw nothing but profit in Steel and TURBO Energy. As such, he created a TURBO Energy siphoning device. But it backfired, and wound up implanted in his chest. He now needs TURBO Energy to survive. |
| 271 | ---- |
| 272 | * AdaptationalBadass: He is much more battle-oriented than his original counterpart, who worked majorily from the shadows and despite having some fighting skills still wouldn't have stood a chance against Max in a prolonged fight requiring his metahuman minions to do the fighting for him; he even gets a powered suit that lets him stand with Max on even terms at his strongest. |
| 273 | * ArcVillain: Of the first half of the show, until [[TheManBehindTheMan Makino]] appears on-screen. |
| 274 | * ArchEnemy: Is ultimately this for Max Steel, being his most persistent and most personal nemesis. |
| 275 | * ArmCannon: Can create one out of TURBO Energy. |

| 281 | ** [[spoiler: Pulls one in Extroyer Unleashed where he lures Max to a missile silo and uses his TURBO energy to activate a TURBO nuclear missile.]] |
| 282 | ** In "Uncle Sam Wants You" he paid a corporal in the military lure Max with the prospect of recruiting him so they could get him away from N-Tek. |
| 283 | ** Earth Under Siege is his crowning moment. [[spoiler: He lured N-Tek to his silos by launching his missiles, but he intentionally left the launch key in the device, correctly anticipating Max would use his Turbo energy to destroy the missiles. Once he did, Dredd activated the self-destruct on the missiles, causing the Turbo energy to hit every transmitter on Earth, disabling the defense grid around Earth and allowing the Makino to invade it.]] |
| 284 | ** And he pulls yet another one in the ''[=UltraLink=] Invasion'' 2-parter. [[spoiler: After getting four [= UltraLinks=] to Earth under the cover of the meteor shower, he launches an attack on Copper Canyon with Chomp, Prism, and Blast only to retreat when N-Tek arrived, leaving behind the fourth [=UltraLink=]. Turns out that he intentionally did that with the full anticipation that N-Tek would take it back to their base and analyze it with their computer. The [=UltraLink=] would then take control of N-Tek's mainframe. The plan was narrowly thwarted thanks to [[SpannerInTheWorks Vengan]].]] |
| 285 | ** And once more in Dredd Ascendant. [[spoiler: He tricks Elementor into launching an attack on N-Tek while they rebooted their mainframe. While N-Tek was distracted, he had Extroyer break into Forge's computer and download a file on the TURBO Star.]] |

| 292 | * CrazyPrepared: Let's see: he lost his company yet he still has an army of robots, a fleet of fighter jets and heavy aircraft, shell companies to hide his assets and experimental tech, a bunch of secret bases and compounds outside of Copper Canyon, he still seems to be insanely rich, and ''The Truth Hurts'' reveals that [[spoiler: He has fake schematics of his tech in case of a double cross.]] Yeah, he definitely qualifies. |
| 293 | ** Lampshaded in ''Dredd Ascendant'' |
| 294 | -->'''Extroyer:''' You think of everything. |
| 295 | -->'''Dredd:''' I always do. |
| 296 | * CurbStompBattle: Defeats Extroyer, who up until then had defeated everyone in his path, with one attack. |
| 297 | * CursedWithAwesome: The Siphon requires him to absorb TURBO Energy to live, but also grants him superhuman vitality and strength. |
| 298 | %%* DeadpanSnarker |
| 299 | * DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: His mannerisms when draining Max's energy are unsettlingly reminiscent of a drug addiction. His appearance before he starts feeding looks frighteningly like a junkie in withdrawal. |
| 300 | * TheDragon: [[spoiler:To Makino]]. |
| 301 | * DragonWithAnAgenda: [[spoiler:He's only working with him for as long as it suits him and plans to double cross him.]] |
| 302 | * EvilBrit: He speaks in a deep British accent. |
| 303 | %%* EvilIsHammy: Oh, big time. |
| 304 | * EvilLaugh: Abuses the hell out of them. |
| 305 | * FauxAffablyEvil: Acts every bit like the CorruptCorporateExecutive he is, treating his dealings with the Elementors like a business. |
| 306 | * GRatedDrug: Treats Max's TURBO Energy like this. Even Forge calls his plan in ''Come Together'' a way to get his next TURBO Energy fix. |
| 307 | %%* HandBlast |
| 308 | * JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Even when he's being FauxAffablyEvil, he's still a colossal dick. He also saves Jason's life in ''X Marks the Spot'' solely so he could [[spoiler: repair the damaged transmitter they stole from N-Tek and access their defense grid.]] |
| 309 | * KnightOfCerebus: Hamminess and DeadpanSnarker tendencies aside, anytime he shows up is marked by a significant change in the atmosphere. |
| 310 | * LackOfEmpathy: Feels no remorse for causing the accident [[spoiler: that took Jim [=McGrath's=] life.]] |
| 311 | * LightningBruiser: In the same vein as Max, despite being bulkier than him. |
| 312 | * MadeOfIron: Had to be to survive a direct hit from a missile and get sent flying into a forest. [[spoiler: And more impressive, he managed to survive the destruction of the exploding Makino advance ship in ''Earth Under Siege'' without a scratch on him.]] |
| 313 | * ManOfKryptonite: He can absorb TURBO energy and Max is a LivingBattery of TURBO energy. Do the math. |
| 314 | * MagmaMan: His appearance when fully powered up invokes this. |
| 315 | * ManipulativeBastard: Dredd seems to be a firm believer in the saying "Money makes the world go round" because there is literally ''no one'' he can't recruit. From petty thieves and criminals to employees and aliens, and even had a ''corporal in the U.S. military'' in his pocket. [[ParanoiaFuel Kinda makes you wonder who else is on his payroll.]] |
| 316 | * NamesToRunAwayFrom: '''Dredd''' |
| 317 | * NotQuiteDead: Max overloads him with TURBO energy in their first fight. It didn't take, and he learns from it. |
| 318 | * NotQuiteFlight: Can hover by firing energy beams at the ground. |
| 319 | %%* ObviouslyEvil |
| 320 | * PlayingWithFire: More like playing with TURBO Energy, but some of his attacks when fully powered resemble fire. |
| 321 | %%* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver |
| 322 | %%* RedEyesTakeWarning |
| 323 | * TheSociopath: Has no empathy for anyone but himself and is willing [[spoiler: to sell out planet Earth to the Makino just so he could rule alongside them]]. Forge even calls him a raving psychopath. |
| 324 | %%* TeethClenchedTeamwork: With Max on several occasions. |
| 325 | * TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler:In Earth Under Siege, Makino upgrades his armor, making him stronger and faster.]] |
| 326 | * VampiricDraining: His main superpower thanks to the siphon device. |
| 327 | * VillainousGlutton: Dredd's need for TURBO is akin to Gluttony |
| 328 | * WouldHitAGirl: Knocks Sidney out of the way when she tries to defend Max. |
| 329 | * WouldHurtAChild: Quite willing to kill a BusFullOfInnocents to get to Max. |
| 330 | * YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: [[spoiler: After helping Makino gain a foothold on Earth, Makino ATTEMPTED to get rid of Dredd but Dredd was prepared for it, and eventually Makino realizes he still needs Dredd and is willing to form a temporary alliance until Max Steel and N-Tek are destroyed]]. |

| 335 | [[quoteright:255:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jasonnaught.png]] |
| 336 | The (former)executive of Trans Human Industries aka THI, he functions as the face of the company. Very wily and eccentric, he is TheDragon to [[BigBad Miles Dredd]]. He tries to present an air of control and confidence, but the truth is he's more a bumbling minion and verbal chew toy to Dredd. |
| 337 | ---- |
| 338 | * BadBoss: Berates his employees frequently. |
| 339 | %%* BaldOfEvil: When in cyborg form. |
| 340 | * ButtMonkey: The poor guy can't seem to do anything right. |
| 341 | * CanonForeigner: Has no counterpart in the original continuity, though see SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute below. |
| 342 | * TheChewToy: Is on the receiving end of lots of Dredd's abuse. |
| 343 | * CorruptCorporateExecutive: Was this up until the end of the third episode when [[HonestCorporateExecutive Molly]] replaces him. |
| 344 | * {{Cyborg}}: Appears human but many scenes show that he's not quite that without his disguise. |
| 345 | * TheDragon: To Dredd, though he's really not that competent. |
| 346 | * ElectronicEyes: A sign that he's not completely human. |
| 347 | * FauxAffablyEvil: Any politeness he exudes is a complete facade and is only for appearance's sake. When things don't go his way, he starts showing his true colors. |
| 348 | * GlassCannon: In human form. |
| 349 | * {{Hypocrite}}: Inflicts an AndIMustScream on a guard for tipping off Extroyer about the tech deliveries, but an episode later, he's [[spoiler: Trying to overthrow Dredd.]] |
| 350 | * IneffectualSympatheticVillain: He tries to be threatening when he confronts Max and transforms into his robot form, but he gets dealt with by Max almost accidentally and very quickly, so he comes of as this instead. Though later episodes show that he can step up his game if properly motivated. |
| 351 | ** He's also a little sympathetic in the fact that he's working under the threat of death by Dredd all the time. Meaning that if he didn't get Dredd Turbo energy, that might actually mean his life. |
| 352 | * LightningBruiser: In cyborg form. |
| 353 | %%* SlasherSmile: frequently. |
| 354 | * SmugSnake: His bite is nowhere ''near'' as bad as his bark. |
| 355 | * TheStarscream: [[spoiler: Tries to obtain a powerful cursed sword so he could overthrow Dredd. It doesn't end well for him.]] |
| 356 | * SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: To Psycho arguably, being a cybernetically-enhanced servant of Dredd. Unlike Psycho, however, he is not efficient on his own and never gets the chance to strike out on his own. |
| 357 | * TallDarkAndHandsome: When not in cyborg form. |
| 358 | * TeethClenchedTeamwork: His relationship with Dredd becomes much more strained after his [[spoiler: attempted betrayal]] as the two are now prone to arguing. |
| 359 | * TheWorfEffect: Tries to deal with Max personally. The key word is ''tries''. [[CurbStompBattle Ends as well as you'd expect.]] |
| 360 | * TookALevelInBadass: Since his last defeat he's made upgrades, preventing him from being overcharged by Max Steel, and allowing Naught to go toe-to-toe with him. |

| 366 | -->''I gave them my genius, and this is how they repay me? Unconscionable! They haven't heard the last of Tytus Octavius Xander. They haven't heard the last... of Toxzon!'' |
| 367 | [[quoteright:255:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/toxzon1_profileimage_tcm422_50517.png]] |
| 368 | Formerly an environmental researcher at THI, Dr. Xander was searching for a way to eliminate pollution from the world. Somewhere along the line, his sanity began to decay, to where he even held conversations with his plastic goldfish. Eventually this got him fired from THI. When he tried to poison the employees in retaliation, a confrontation with Max Steel caused him to fall into a vat of toxic waste, mutating him into the villain Toxzon, a mutant with the ability to manipulate various toxins. He now seeks revenge against Max Steel. |
| 369 | ---- |
| 370 | * AdaptationalVillainy: While Toxzon's classic counterpart was a FallenHero ([[spoiler:and by the end of "Monstrous Alliance", he is cured from his mutation and redeems himself]]), his rebooted counterpart is a full-fledged villain with no redeeming qualities, being completely evil and insane. |
| 371 | * AxCrazy: Wasn't really sane to begin with, but becoming Toxzon only made it worse. |
| 372 | * BadassBookworm: Crazy he may be, but his environmental geinus is quite real. |
| 373 | * BadassLongcoat: Wore this before he became Toxzon. |
| 374 | * BatmanGambit: [[spoiler: Pulls one in ''Pick Your Poison'' when he was recruited by N-Tek to help stop Elementor. He created a toxin that he claimed would neutralize him, but later reveals that it would actually bring him under Toxzon's control.]] |
| 375 | * BewareTheSillyOnes: Yes, he's a gibbering nutball who talks to a plastic fish, but his capacity for destruction is dangerously real and he should not be underestimated. |
| 376 | * CameBackStrong: ''Goin Fishin'' reveals he survived drowning in the ocean by absorbing canisters of Radioactive waste. This not only gives him the ability to survive in water, but amplified his powers considerably. |
| 377 | * TheChessmaster: Both literally and figuratively. ''C.Y.T.R.O. Attacks!'', ''Supermania'', and ''Pick Your Poison'' show that he's quite capable of pulling off good plans. He even [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] this. |
| 378 | -->'''Toxzon''': They say chess is a game about biding your time, and waiting for the perfect moment to strike. Well, the same's true for life. |
| 379 | * ConsultingMisterPuppet: His conversations with Fishy, especially from the perspective of everyone else. |
| 380 | * DisproportionateRetribution: He tries to poison the entire THI building just because he was fired, then tries to kill Max for accidentally causing him to drop Fishy. This dude really has issues. |
| 381 | ** [[spoiler: Turns Molly in ''The Secret Admirer'' in to a DistaffCounterpart of himself because in his mind, her firing him caused his downward spiral.]] |
| 382 | ** Attempts to poison the oceans with radioactive waste in ''Goin' Fishin'' just to get Fishy back. |
| 383 | * TheDragon: Considers himself to be one to Fishy. |
| 384 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He genuinely cares for Fishy and is fiercely protective of him. He nearly poisoned all of Earth's oceans just to force N-Tek to return him. [[spoiler: So it's kind of a TearJerker when Fishy ends up KilledOffForReal in ''Toxic Relationship''.]] |
| 385 | * EvilCounterpart: His relationship with Fishy is one to the bond that Max and Steel share. |
| 386 | * EvilWearsBlack: When he absorbs an oil reserve in ''Toxic Relationship''. |
| 387 | * ExactWords: In ''Supermania'' he says he's gonna take Copper Canyon by storm. His plan to destroy the city? Douse it in acid rain. |
| 388 | * FromNobodyToNightmare: From a disgruntled scientist to a toxic mutant with a chip on his shoulder. |
| 389 | * GeniusBruiser: When he becomes Toxzon. As Doctor Xander, he was an ordinary human and kinda scrawny. As Toxzon he beefed up big time. |
| 390 | * HiddenDepths: [[spoiler:Before he worked for THI, he once worked for N-Tek.]] |
| 391 | * HoistByHisOwnPetard: All the chemicals that turned him into Toxzon? He was throwing those at Max Steel. |
| 392 | * IGaveMyWord: In ''Gone Fishin'', he promises to return oceans he polluted with radioactive waste to normal if N-Tek returns Fishy to him. Once they do, he immediately holds up his end of the bargain. Too bad Fishy convinces him to use his newfound powers to destroy the gang. |
| 393 | * KillAllHumans: Wants to cause the extinction of the human race, but would prefer to do it gradually so he can personally murder them and prolong their suffering. |
| 394 | * KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:Not Toxzon himself, but rather Fishy, who drowns in the Arctic Ocean at the end of ''Toxic Relationship''.]] |
| 395 | * KnowWhenToFoldEm: Knows when to run if the odds fall out of favor. |
| 396 | * LaughablyEvil: An utter spaz and a complete OmnicidalManiac to boot. |
| 397 | * LightningBruiser: Surprisingly agile for his size. |
| 398 | * MookMaker: He can create monsters called Goopanoids from his toxins. |
| 399 | * NeverFoundTheBody: Seems to drown in the ocean in ''The Secret Admirer''. He actually survived as seen in ''Gone Fishin'.'' |
| 400 | * NeverMyFault: Toxzon blames Max Steel for his mutation. |
| 401 | * NotQuiteFlight: He can ride on his expelling toxin from his arms. |
| 402 | * NotSoHarmlessVillain: At first he's your average, everyday MadScientist. Then he becomes the villain Toxzon and proves to be a deadly adversary against Max. Had it not been for Steel's quick thinking, he would've killed them. And his subsequent appearances build up his establishment as one of Max's more dangerous adversaries. |
| 403 | * PlayingWithFire: When he absorbs an oil reserve in ''Toxic Relationship'', it gives him fire powers. |
| 404 | * PoisonIsCorrosive: Depending on the toxin. |
| 405 | * PoisonousPerson: From acid to radioactive waste to Toxic goo. If it's poisonous, Toxzon can control it. |
| 406 | * PunnyName: Toxzon sounds like toxin. |
| 407 | * PurpleIsPowerful: His toxin in ''Secret Admirer'' and ''Pick Your Poison''. |
| 408 | * ShadowArchetype: To Max, if only because he has a similar relationship to Fishy that Max has with Steel...only, unlike Max, he's actually just talking to himself. |
| 409 | * SicklyGreenGlow: His default toxin. |
| 410 | * StevenUlyssesPerhero: The acronym of his name, '''T'''ytus '''O'''ctavius '''X'''ander, is part of his mutated form's name. |
| 411 | * TalkativeLoon: Xander just loves the sound of his own voice. Almost as much as the voice of the imaginary talking plastic fish he keeps. Did we mention he's a complete nut yet? |
| 412 | * TechnicolorToxin: Has gone from green to yellow-orange to purple to yellow-green then back to purple. When he is blue, he has no toxins. |
| 413 | * ThatManIsDead: This exchange in ''Supermania''. |
| 414 | -->'''Prison Guard:''' Boy, you sure are a kook, Xander. |
| 415 | -->'''Toxzon:''' I told you, the name is Toxzon! |
| 416 | * WasOnceAMan: Becomes a mutant after he enters in contact with a toxic substance. |
| 417 | * WeWillMeetAgain: The quote above that he says at the end of his debut episode. |
| 418 | * WildCard: The only major villain in the first two seasons that isn't directly affiliated with the Ultralinks. |
| 419 | * WolverineClaws: He can create them from his toxin release. |

| 428 | Formerly known as Troy Winter, he was a criminal hired by Dredd to steal pieces of an [=UltraLink=] from N-Tek and THI. He attempted to double-cross Dredd, but Dredd was prepared and had a bomb in the [=UltraLink=]. The resulting explosion bonded the [=UltraLink=] to his body, transforming him into the beastly Extroyer and granting him the ability to turn into any animal he wants by extracting their DNA. |
| 429 | ---- |
| 430 | * AdaptationalVillainy: Like several of Max's rogues in the reboot, Extroyer became a full-fledged villain unlike his classic counterpart, who started out as merely a cocky rival of Max that was driven insane by Morphosos and eventually [[spoiler:redeems himself in ''Toxic Legion'']]. |
| 431 | * {{Animorphism}}: Can morph into animals by extracting their DNA or, as Steel puts it, "Extroying" them. |
| 432 | * BigCreepyCrawlies: A GiantSpider, a Wasp, and an [=UltraLink=] centipede in Season 2. |
| 433 | * AxCrazy: Even before bonding with the Ultralink, he wasn't the most sane guy. |
| 434 | * BadassBiker: In his debut episode. |
| 435 | * BadassBoast: The above quote. It gets parodied and PlayedForLaughs in subsequent episodes. |
| 436 | %%* BadassBookworm |
| 437 | * BadBoss: Frequently threatens his men and even traps them in the same room as his hungry pet tiger when they complain about their pay. His treatment of them got so bad that at the end of the episode ''Driven'' they decide to stop working for him and leave him for dead. |
| 438 | %%* BaldOfEvil: After bonding with the Ultralink. |
| 439 | * BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: A frequent victim of this. |
| 440 | ** He wanted the power of the[= UltraLink=], [[RewardedAsATraitorDeserves Dredd gave it to him]]. |
| 441 | ** He committed robberies at THI companies to get Dredd's attention, he got his attention and [[CurbStompBattle got his ass handed to him]]. |
| 442 | ** In "Driven", he wanted to transform into the world's most deadliest creatures by stealing their DNA samples, he got it [[BodyHorror and the results weren't pretty]]. |
| 443 | * BerserkButton: Just mentioning Max's name is enough to get him angry. |
| 444 | * {{BFG}}: Wielded one that fired sonic blasts. |
| 445 | * BodyHorror: Let's just say that bonding with the [=UltraLink=] was not a pleasant experience and the result's were not pretty. And in "Driven" the BodyHorror gets taken up a notch when Steel runs him over with the TURBO Car just as he was transforming. This caused the DNA samples of various animals to spill on him, causing him to bulk up rather... grotesquely. |
| 446 | * CreateYourOwnVillain: Was created by the explosion of a bomb embedding the [=UltraLink=] into his body. |
| 447 | * DeadpanSnarker: Has his moments. |
| 448 | * DidntThinkThisThrough: He has attempted to kill Max Steel by turning himself into a T-rex and eating him, but failed to take into consideration the fact that swallowing a man clad in power armor and wielding weapons alive and whole wasn't the brightest idea. And he did it ''twice'', with [[TooSpicyForYogSothoth predictable results]]. |
| 449 | * DisneyVillainDeath: Subverted. It looks like he's about to drown after falling of the nuclear missile, only for him to Extroy a nearby shark. |
| 450 | * EgomaniacHunter: Styles himself as one. |
| 451 | * {{Expy}}: Hmm, a PsychoForHire with the ability to transform into animals that styles himself as an EgomaniacHunter and is recruited by the BigBad only to betray him. It seems [[WesternAnimation/Ben10Omniverse Khyber the Huntsman]] has a relative. |
| 452 | * FangsAreEvil: Has several purple fangs as Extroyer. |
| 453 | * GeniusBruiser: Both before and after becoming Extroyer. |
| 454 | * HairTriggerTemper: He's as volatile as a volcano, exploding at the slightest thing. |
| 455 | * TheJuggernaut: One of Max's more difficult opponents. Nearly all of Extroyer's defeats were usually due to some outside interference from Max's allies. |
| 456 | * KillerGorilla: A large gorilla in the episode ''Scrambled''. |
| 457 | * KnightOfCerebus: Episodes involving him are played more seriously than others. His debut episode was where N-Tek's secrets began coming to light. |
| 458 | * LightningBruiser: Quite agile and very strong, even before bonding with the[= UltraLink=]. |
| 459 | * OurGryphonsAreDifferent: In ''Making the Grade'', by forcefully using Steel he can fuse the power of all the creatures he had "Extroyed" to that point to become this. The form comes undone when Steel is taken away. |
| 460 | * PantheraAwesome: His first animal transformation was his pet tiger. |
| 461 | * PerpetualFrowner: As Extroyer. It's kinda hard to tell if he even ''can'' smile with his mouth messed up like that. |
| 462 | %%* PurpleIsPowerful |
| 463 | * PsychoForHire: Emphasis on the psycho part, but he doesn't stay under Dredd's employ for long. |
| 464 | * RedRightHand: As Extroyer, his left arm is larger and spikier than his right arm. |
| 465 | * {{Revenge}}: Formerly against Dredd, currently against Max. |
| 466 | * RevengeBeforeReason: He is completely obsessed with getting even with Max. Even his men think he should just let go and move on. |
| 467 | * RoaringRampageOfRevenge: His plan was to keep robbing THI companies to get Dredd's attention, [[CurbStompBattle and it worked]]. |
| 468 | * ScaledUp: A Black Cobra. |
| 469 | * ScaryScorpions: A rare one that can clone itself. |
| 470 | * TheSocialDarwinist: Has this mindset as befits someone who styles himself as an EgomaniacHunter. |
| 471 | * TheSociopath: Has no empathy for anyone but himself. |
| 472 | * SpikesOfVillainy: After his mutation, he gets rather prickly with the Ultralink crystals which can grow back when broken off. |
| 473 | * StevenUlyssesPerhero: His name '''Troy''' Wint'''er''', is part of his new identity. |
| 474 | * ThatManIsDead: |

| 480 | -> Voiced by: Creator/BrianDobson |
| 481 | [[quoteright:255:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/morphos.png]] |
| 482 | A monster originally designed by N-Tek to defeat Makino, but once they realized he was just too powerful, they decided to mothball the project. Ultimately, Dredd creates Morphos using his DNA, but the monster ultimately rebels against his own creator and now he constantly tries to prove that he's the most powerful villain that ever existed. He debuted in ''Dawn of Morphos''. |
| 483 | ---- |
| 484 | * BadassBoast: Morphos would constantly flaunt about how he managed to surpass the design of his creator and how he is much better than the other villains. |
| 485 | -->'''Morphos:''' (combining all of his modes into one) "Don't you understand!? I evolve, I improve! Your plan is hopeless!''" |
| 486 | * BodyofBodies: His body is made out of distinct parts of different monsters. |
| 487 | * BlobMonster: Morphos briefly becomes this after he absorbs the security device. He later reforms himself and goes back to his regular, humanoid form. |
| 488 | * CompleteImmortality: Morphos is immortal and the [[WordOfGod official website]] states the he will be the "future ruler of Earth". |
| 489 | * CreatingLife: Based on the same formula that Dread created him, Morphos creates three clones that fought againt Max at Dread's gothic mansion. |
| 490 | * {{Expy}}: Of Frankenstein, though the series openly acknowledges this. Morphos is brought to life under similar circumstances and is made out of parts of different monsters into a hideous abomination made with the sole purpose of destroying Max Steel. Max even refers to him as "Stitchenstein". The producers also play with the concept, as, while Frankenstein was rejected by society due to his appearance, Morphos quickly gains the admiration of Copper Canyon citizens and later on becomes their ''mayor''. |
| 491 | * FacialHorror: Morphos' face has a large opening surrounded by blue crystals in the mouth region. |
| 492 | * HybridMonster: Morphos is effectively this due to the fact that he is made out of parts of other monsters. His final form in ''Maximum Morphos'' invokes this, as it is an amalgamation of all the powers that he had previously absorbed. |
| 493 | * ImplacableMan: His second fight against Max counts as this. He gives Max a beating, relentlessly fighting against him and not giving the boy a break. |
| 494 | * ShapeShifting: More of a PartialTransformation. Morphos has a long tentacle on his chest that when "bites" his foes, he instantly copies their powers. His arms and legs change into that of the opponent that he copied. |
| 495 | * LightningCanDoAnything: He is brought to life by Dredd using lightning rays. |
| 496 | * GoneHorriblyWrong: [[spoiler: Morphos was solely created by Dredd to have revenge on Max Steel and nothing else; in fact Dredd [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness planned to outright kill him after he had accomplished his goal]]. However, his security device fails and Morphos returns, now being able to fuse two powers at the same time or more. Not only does he manage to frame Max Steel, he mutates the entire city into hideous creatures like him, which forces Max to team-up with his rogues to stop Morphos.]] |
| 497 | * SmallNameBigEgo: Is constnatly boasting about how much better he is than everyone else. Given his track record, it's not entirely unwarranted. |
| 498 | * TheNeedless: According to his creator, Morphos does not need to sleep, rest and eat. As such, he considers the monster as the perfect organism. |
| 499 | * TrashTalk: Morphos does this with Max's villains while beating them. He is aware of Extroyer's origins at the hands of Dredd and uses this to tease him, considers Toxzon to be an "impurity" and thinks that the Elementors are wasting their powers. |

[[spoiler: Thanks to Max, the device is damaged and the Connect-Tek explodes in Mortum's face, transforming him into a terrifying techno-zombie with a hunger for brainwaves.]] |
| 507 | ---- |
| 508 | * AnimalThemedSuperbeing: All of Mortum's modes are based off on scary animals. For instance, his first form is a mix between a centipede, a scorpion and a spider. |
| 509 | * AntagonistAbilities: Mortum's human and mutant form invokes this, especially the last one. [[spoiler: For instance, Mortum's Turbo Ultimate Mode makes Team Turbo share their powers with Max in order to face Mortum.]] |
| 510 | * ArcVillain: Mortum only appears during ''Team Turbo'' and ''Team Turbo Fusion-Tek''. He only makes a brief cameo afterwards in ''Turbo-Charged''. |
| 511 | * AttackItsWeakPoint: His last form has a large sphere on his abdomen, which, needless to say, is his weak spot. |
| 512 | * AxCrazy: Played straight with his mutant form. |
| 513 | * AwesomeButImpractical: His last form invokes this. While Mortum's size grows considerably (being his largest and strongest mode), he has a giant sphere of energy on his abdomen that is his weak spot, which pretty much screams "hit here!". |
| 514 | * BackFromTheDead:[[spoiler: The large explosion caused by the Connect-Tek kills Mortum, but the device links with Mortum's skull and revives him.]] |
| 515 | * CardCarryingVillain: In his first appearance, he proudly introduces himself as N-Tek's villain. |
| 516 | -->'''Mortum:''' "''Greetings, N-Tek! I'm Professor Mortum, and I'll be your villain this morning.''" |
| 517 | * [[spoiler:CreateYourOwnVillain: By the end of ''Team Turbo'', Max attempts to defeat Mortum while he was teleporting, but he only slices the side of the Connect-Tek, which results in a massive explosion that "kills" Mortum. However, this has no relevance in the story, as Mortum doesn't talk about it or simply doesn't mind, as he wanted to evolve himself and he could consider his mutation as an evolution.]] |
| 518 | * DeathIsCheap: After the accident involving the Connect-Tek, Mortum's body is now completely made out of Connect-Tek technology. This means that if someone destroys him, he can recreate himself and keep coming back again. Even after the end of the Technopocalypse, Mortum keeps returning in different forms to take over the world. |
| 519 | * EvilUncle: Mortum and his nephew used to be very close before and they even used to work together, until Mortum became insane. He started to fear him and refers to him as "Master Mortum". By the end of ''Team Turbo'', his nephew says he was worried, but he coldly ignores him. [[spoiler: In the next film, Mortum attempts to transform his own nephew into a zombie and disturbingly refers to his brain as "dessert".]] |
| 520 | * EmptyShell: What Mortum becomes after the Connect-Tek incident. |
| 521 | * FromNobodyToNightmare: Once a brilliant scientist and now a insane techno-zombie with a hunger for brains. |
| 522 | * GodhoodSeeker: Mortum wanted to become a god prior to his mutation by directly connecting the Connect-Tek onto his brain. [[spoiler: This does happen, but with a slight change: the Connect-Tek ''becomes'' Mortum's brain, which results in catastrophic events, as foreshadowed by a hologram of Jim in the previous film.]] |
| 523 | * HopeCrusher: The following quote invokes this. |
| 524 | -->'''Mortum:''' *with a smirk* "''There is no hope, Max Steel! Haven't I made that obvious?''" |
| 525 | * LaughablyEvil: On a few occasions, Mortum shows his twisted sense of humor. |
| 526 | * IKnowYourTrueName: [[spoiler: After dissecting Steel, Mortum spent hours studying information on Max and his friends, including their secret identity.]] |
| 527 | * ImmortalitySeeker: The main reason why Mortum became a villain. He didn't accept the natural fact that he was a human and attempted to find ways to become immortal, which led to the events of the ''Team Turbo'' film. |
| 528 | * NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: Mortum claims he seeks absolute peace by absorbing all minds into himself and perfecting the human animal by removing emphaty which he views as a weakness but this simply part of his GodhoodSeeker thought process. |
| 529 | * ObliviouslyEvil: As evidenced by the quote below. |
| 530 | -->'''Mortum:''' ''Ugh, why do you all resist? Look around this world. What do you see? People living in conflict, in chaos! I offer the better way: strength through unity. Strength through order. Mindless, obedient, to one ultimate overlord! I offer '''my''' way to the entire world!'' |
| 531 | * OurZombiesAreDifferent: [[spoiler: Mortum is transformed into a robot zombie after the accident involving the Connect-Tek.]] |
| 532 | * PainfulTransformation: Played straight with Mortum's transformation by the end of ''Team Turbo''. |
| 533 | * PunnyName: In Latin, "Mortum" means dead. It makes an allusion to his appearance, as he have black circles on his eyes (resembling a skull) and extremely pale skin, which is commonly seen on deceased corpses. [[spoiler: This is played straight in his mutant form, as he becomes an undead.]] |
| 534 | * ReasonWhyYouSuckSpeech: When Max is about to defeat Mortum, he invokes this. |
| 535 | --> '''Max:''' ''You stole that power Mortum, It's not yours, It's not '''YOU'''! YOU'RE '''NOTHING!'''''" |
| 536 | * TheSoulless: As lampshaded by his own nephew. |
| 537 | * WasOnceAMan: Mortum was once a famous scientist prior to becoming a robot zombie. |
| 538 | * ZombieApocalypse: [[spoiler: Returning as a robot zombie, Mortum spreads his techno-virus over the entire Earth, transforming everyone into zombies like him.]] |

| 543 | [[folder:Makino]] |
| 544 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/makino.png]] |
| 545 | [[caption-width-right:350:Makino linked with his creator]] |
| 546 | [[caption-width-right:350:[[labelnote:See here for Makino's true form]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/makino_reboot.jpg[[/labelnote]]]] |
| 547 | |
| 548 | The leader and controlling force behind the [=UltraLinks=]. A GalacticConqueror who seeks to make Planet Earth his new homeworld. |
| 549 | ---- |
| 550 | * AdaptationalBadass: Makino's original counterpart was a mediocre reporter prior to his mutation who was completely self-absorbed, arrogant and wanted nothing but fame and people's approval and in general was much less impressive than the rest of Max's RoguesGallery. In the reboot, he is a galactic conqueror and arguably the ''worst'' villain that Max has ever faced, almost killing him on the occasions that they met and came ''incredibly'' close to devouring Earth if wasn't for Max, Ven Ghan and N-Tek's efforts. |
| 551 | * AdaptationalSpeciesChange: Was a mutated human in the original continuity. Here he's a massive alien/machine hybrid. |
| 552 | * TheAssimilator: His powers consist of absorbing parts to technological devices into his body. He also uses his Alphalink to absorb planets and his Ultralinks are capable of linking with anything and enhance their abilities by assimilation. |
| 553 | * BadBoss: [[AbusiveDad Makino abuses his Ultralink "children"]]. In "The Wrath of Makino", he proposes a competition where the remaining Ultralinks on Earth would obtain his head piece and become the new commander of the Ultralinks. After he finds his host ([[spoiler: Maxwell]]), he says he's glad that he didn't link with any of his weak minions, and then releases a shockwave that tosses them away. |
| 554 | * BigBad: The supreme leader of the Ultralinks, TheManBehindTheMan to most of the villains in the show (especially Dredd), and his goal for universal annihilation drives the entire plot of the series. |
| 555 | * BloodKnight: Loves to eradicate worlds across the cosmos almost as much as he enjoys battling worthy adversaries. In "Makino Strikes: Part One", he confesses how much he loves to torture his prey before crushing them. |
| 556 | * ComputerVoice: When he speaks, it has this effect to his voice. |
| 557 | * {{Cyborg}}: His appearance invokes this. |
| 558 | %%* EvilSoundsDeep |
| 559 | * FlatCharacter: The only reason why Makino was created in first place was to absorb and expand; he does have a personality, just not a very complex one. |
| 560 | * HiveMind: Makino commands undying loyalty from (most) of his creations, the alien Ultralinks. |
| 561 | * HordeOfAlienLocusts: How he has decimated countless galaxies across the cosmos, by branching out and seeding worlds with his Link brethren to cyberformically host their indigenous lifeforms and other resources to pave the way for his arrival to their sector, before swarming and consuming them, species and all. |
| 562 | * KnightOfCerebus: Hoo boy! Despite not showing up in person, the "Earth Under Siege" 2-parter was the darkest episode in the show thus far, featuring an alien invasion that was narrowly thwarted and the episode ended with Ferrus losing his left arm. |
| 563 | * {{Metamorphosis}}: Of an odd sort; unlike others of his kind, their creator assimilates alternate elements from his surrounding to bestow new powers and features onto himself. He can also do this with his own Alpha-Link in order to strengthen himself growing ins size and power if need be. |
| 564 | * PlanetEater: In truth. unlike all other Ultra or Mega-Links, Makino is and isn't of a linked individual, for his personal link is connected to his much, much larger Alpha-Link: A Jovian-class planetary body , and a shape shifting Ultralink and Mega-Link spawning extraterrestrial predator that [[PunctuatedForEmphasis Links With Entire PLANETS!]] Makino's main body is the sentient expression of this astrological horror with which he uses to "Absorb and Expand!!" by literally linking and consuming the worlds he and his forces conquer. |
| 565 | * PuppeteerParasite: The original mecha leech of his entire race. Effectively speaking, this is what his conquest of countless alien planets and cultures from all across the universe has been doing -- turning everything and everyone into his [[ZombieApocalypse obedient minions]] once they've been Linked. |
| 566 | * PromotionToOpeningTitles: Makino in the second season opening, as he appears commanding an army of villains including Toxzon, Extroyer, Naught, Dredd and other recurrent villains of the season. |
| 567 | * MechanicalAbomination: [[spoiler:What started out as a small spider-like robot would grow into an ever-evolving force.]] |
| 568 | * SlasherSmile: Has expressed these since his first introduction to Earth, portraying a rather sadistic glee, like when he was throttling Max Steel for their first fight. |
| 569 | * TheManBehindTheMan: To Dredd. |
| 570 | * TheVirus: What makes Makino so dangerous is his ability to churn out Ultralinks non-stop who in turn, branch out and link up with objects and people alike from different corners of the cosmos to add to his already impressive armada. And this is all before he and his Mothership swoop in to their midst to [[CosmicHorror gobble it whole]]. |
| 571 | * TeethClenchedTeamwork: His alliance with Dredd can be described as this. Neither trust the other but they need each other to destroy Max Steel and N-Tek. They both know and understand that the alliance ends and they will turn on each other when that happens. |
| 572 | * TinTyrant: A tech-armored GalacticConqueror. |
| 573 | * TurnedAgainstTheirMasters: In "The Wrath of Makino", Makino's past is revealed. [[spoiler: He was created to absorb and expand, and upon he realized his immense power, he bonded with his own creator, killed his assistant and started to build his empire.]] |
| 574 | %%* SupernaturalGoldEyes |
| 575 | %%* ThirdEye |
| 576 | * WalkingSpoiler: His sole existence marks a complete shift in the show's narrative. |
| 577 | * ZergRush: Since he can always spawn more Ultralinks which effectively do not tire, falter, quit and can constantly play musical chairs with who and what they link to, due in part to being that the Alpha-Link can and is always in the process of creating and programming more and more of them with every passing second, he can restock his armies to easily swarm over designated worlds he comes to without much loss on his end. |

| 580 | [[folder:Ultralinks]] |
| 581 | The lethal symbiotic alien predators who have the ability to bond to and weaponize their hosts by molecular fusion. Capable of transforming anything to everything and everyone they come in contact with into another drone of the Ultralink invasion horde. |
| 582 | ----- |
| 583 | * AlienInvasion: The Ultralinks invade Earth during the finale of the first season. This becomes the main focus of the second season as Makino sends new soldiers to take on Max Steel and N-Tek. |
| 584 | * LawOfChromaticSuperiority: In the "Ultralink Invasion" mobile game, Ultralink subspecies have color variations that grants them an specific ability, such as enhanced speed compared to the standard model, or being capable of turning invisible. |
| 585 | * MixAndMatchCritters: Like their name entails, Ultralinks initially start out small before linking with an intended target, transforming it and themselves into a massive siege engine of varying destructive potential- any one Ultralink can fuse to a number of elements to create a fully armed and primed host. |
| 586 | * PuppeteerParasite: The Ultralinks are capable of bonding with something or someone and completely take control of their host. |
| 587 | * ViralTransformation: It's how they operate; first they designate a host to Ultralink with, then they merge turning them into a cybermorphic monster. |
| 588 | [[/folder]] |
| 589 | |
| 590 | [[folder:Megalinks]] |
| 591 | The deluxe version of of a typical Ultralink. While their weaker brethren come in the form of tiny techno-organic face huggers, a Mega-Link is a fully autonomous individual roughly humanoid in shape, sporting the bodies of a bipedal sentient entity. |
| 592 | * YouWillBeAssimilated: To an UltraLink the scariest thing their commanding officers can do is annex them, meaning the weaker link is literally absorbed into the being of Mega-Link adding to their own power while robbing the assimilee of their freedom. |
| 593 | [[/folder]] |
| 594 | |
| 595 | [[folder:The Elementors/UltimateElementor]] |
| 596 | -> Voiced by: Creator/AndrewFrancis (Fire and Air) and Creator/BrianDrummond (Earth and Water) |
| 597 | |
| 598 | -->''Don't you see? I have all the forces of nature at my command!'' |
| 599 | |
| 600 | A race of Aliens that can control the elements who are allied with Dredd. Hard Water reveals that they are fellow Ultralinks, like Steel. |
| 601 | ---- |
| 602 | * AchillesHeel: Striking the orbs on their foreheads will stun them. |
| 603 | * AllYourPowersCombined: After fusing together and forming the Ultimate Elementor, he is able to use the powers of all the four Elementors as well as some new abilities of his own. |
| 604 | * AmbiguouslyEvil: While it is clear they are the villains of the show, their level of villainy is somewhat questionable. Particularly with the Water Elementor who [[LivingBattery despite his methods]], only wanted to return to his homeworld. As of ''The Truth Hurts'' they lose the ambiguous part, though the full extent of their motives remains a mystery. And as of "Earth Under Siege", they drop the ambiguity all together. |
| 605 | * AnIcePerson: The Ultimate Elementor by combining Water and Air. |
| 606 | * BadassBoast: The Elementors are capable of pulling out ''perfectly synchronized'' boasts by simply FinishingEachOthersSentences. |
| 607 | -->'''Earth Elementor:''' No more running, Max Steel! |
| 608 | -->'''Water Elementor:''' We'll flush you out! |
| 609 | -->'''Fire Elementor:''' Turn up the heat! |
| 610 | -->'''Air Elementor:''' And leave you gasping for air! |
| 611 | * BadassBookworm: The Air and Water Elementors. |
| 612 | * BatmanGambit: The Air Elementor purposely lost the fight so he could enter N-Tek and free his cohorts. They would then release the other Ultralinks to build an army, but their bickering causes their plans to change. |
| 613 | * BigBadDuumvirate: With Dredd. |
| 614 | * BloodKnight: The Fire Elementor. |
| 615 | -->'''Fire Elementor:''' Yes! Make this interesting for me! |
| 616 | * BlowYouAway: The Air Elementor. |
| 617 | * {{Brainwashed}}: [[spoiler: Ultimate Elementor is brought under Toxzon's control briefly in "Pick Your Poison". And they aren't happy to find out when the effect wears off.]] |
| 618 | * CrazyPrepared: The Air Elementor had a Stasis Inhibitor to free himself and his cohorts. |
| 619 | * CurbStompBattle: This is the nicest way you can describe the Ultimate Elementor's first fight with Max. He basically mops the floor with him. And even though Max fares better in their second fight, he still had the advantage. Had it not been for Max's quick thinking, he would've won. |
| 620 | ** And when they finally start working together, they regularly hand these out to Max. |
| 621 | * DecompositeCharacter: The version from the older series was a single character who could turn into several elements[[note]]save for the ''"Countdown"'' movie when he was temporarily split, but even then the Elementors shared the same mind even if they acted independently[[/note]]. In this series, Elementors are {{Mooks}} of one element each. Subverted in ''Elements of Surprise'' where they fuse into one being. |
| 622 | * DishingOutDirt: The Earth Elementor. |
| 623 | * DumbMuscle: The Earth Elementor. |
| 624 | %%* ElementalPowers |
| 625 | * ElementalBaggage: The Ultimate Elementor can switch from an equal volume of each element. Inverted by the Air Elementor, when he disperses his element to ground airborne opponents. |
| 626 | * EvilSoundsDeep: All of the Elementors have deep voices, with the Earth Elementor's being the deepest voice of the bunch. |
| 627 | * FusionDance: A freak accident with the Air Elementor's stasis inhibitor causes them to merge into one being. |
| 628 | * FinishingEachOthersSentences: When fused together, they have a tendency to do this after the episode ''Split Decisions''. |
| 629 | * GeniusBruiser: The Water Elementor, having constructed a spaceship from pieces of ships he took. The Air Elementor is also one. |
| 630 | * GreenThumb: The Earth Elementor, and the Ultimate Elementor. |
| 631 | * HealingFactor: The Earth Elementor can regenerate lost limbs from whatever earth is around. |
| 632 | * IntangibleMan: The Air and Water Elementors due to being made out of, well, air and water. |
| 633 | * JokerImmunity: They are one of the most popular characters of the franchise. Despite they were ''supposedly'' killed in Team Turbo thanks to a combined attack from Max's Team Turbo, they return in Turbo-Warriors, alive and well. [[spoiler: Nonetheless, [[KilledOffForReal they are killed in the latter film]].]] |
| 634 | * KnightOfCerebus: The Air Elementor is this, in his first appearance he took on Max Steel and all of N-Tek by himself and purposely lost so he could free his brother Ultralinks. And it gets taken to further levels after the FusionDance. |
| 635 | * LargeAndInCharge: The Air Elementor is the largest Elementor in the group and the strongest of them all. |
| 636 | * TheLeader: The Air Elementor. |
| 637 | * LightningBruiser: The Elementors are remarkably strong and agile despite their size. |
| 638 | * MadeOfAir: The Air Elementor, obviously. |
| 639 | * MakingASplash: The Water Elementor. |
| 640 | * MindHive: The accident causes the Elementors's minds to fuse into one body, causing them to constantly vie for control. The Air Elementor is the dominant personality. |
| 641 | * MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: [[spoiler:Metal Elementor's constant putdowns gave them the motivation to hand over the first piece of the Turbo Star even though it was clearly not in Metal Elementor's or Makkino's interest for them to hand it over]]. |
| 642 | * MultiArmedAndDangerous: The Ultimate Elementor |
| 643 | * PlayingWithFire: The Fire Elementor. |
| 644 | * PuppeteerParasite: As with all Ultralinks. |
| 645 | * ShockAndAwe: The Ultimate Elementor and the Air Elementor. |
| 646 | * TakenForGranite: The Water Elementor was defeated when Max Steel mixed clay and limestone in him making cement and heat dried with a blast of TURBO energy. |
| 647 | * TeethClenchedTeamwork: They spend more time arguing with Dredd and each other than they do fighting Max. Ultimately [[{{Deconstruction}} deconstructed]] in the episode ''Split Decisions''. [[spoiler: When their arguing becomes too intolerable, the Air Elementor decides to hold a contest to settle it once and for all. Using a device, they would split into their original forms and separately hunt for Max. The winner would be TheLeader. Their contest ends in a stalemate as none of them could capture Max, but it teaches them that it would be more productive to work together instead of arguing.]] |
| 648 | * TookALevelInBadass: All four of them do when they combine, proving to be more than a match for Max. And they take an even further level when they actually start working together as one, regularly handing Max his ass. |
| 649 | * TunnelKing: The Earth Elementor can dig through the ground at tremendous speed. |
| 650 | * WeaksauceWeakness: Extinguishing the Fire Elementor's flames will cause him to pass out. |

| 657 | * EnergyWeapon: Blast can fire laser blast from his [[ArmCannon hands]] and the big blaster on his back. |
| 658 | * GemstoneAssault: Prism. |
| 659 | * GreenThumb: Chomp. |

| 699 | * ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: After the events of "Final Countdown Part Two", Ven Ghan wasn't seen again nor mentioned by any character. His last appearance (albeit a non-canon one) was in the mini episode "The Captive". |

| 722 | A highly influent member of the Nexus organization and the founder of Halifax Industries. He led a project to exploit Max's Turbo Energy's real potential, which eventually led to the creation of his own Terror Energy. He debuted in ''Turbo-Charged''. |
| 723 | ---- |
| 724 | * AdaptedOut: Terrorax is essentially the rebooted version of Psycho (or heavily inspired by him), who had a key role in Max Steel's origins in the classic series. He was completely absent from the reboot (Dredd replaces him as Max's arch-nemesis in the new series, while Naught took Psycho's second-in-command role) until the 2017 films, in which he is the one responsible for the origins of Max's new green Turbo powers. |
| 725 | * ArcVillain: Terrorax appears as the main villain of ''Turbo-Charged'' and ''Turbo-Warriors''. |
| 726 | * AchillesHeel: His weak point is Max's green T.U.R.B.O. Energy [[spoiler: which he ironically forced the hero to create.]] |
| 727 | * BigNo: When Max ruins his plans by the end of Turbo-Charged. |
| 728 | * BlackShirt: Terrorax was extremely loyal to Nexus and wanted to serve him by any means. Following his crushing defeat in ''Turbo-Charged'', Terrorax returns and is obssessed with satisfying Nexus; [[spoiler: this obsession eventually leads to his death]]. |
| 729 | * BreakThemByTalking: Max does this to Terrorax in their last battle in ''Turbo-Charged''. Terrorax was so desperate that he started to shake while trying to retaliate Max's arguments. |
| 730 | * CaptainObviousReveal: At some point in ''Turbo-Charged'', Prometheus puts his mask on and he is revealed to be the one who stole Max's Turbo Energy in the beginning of the film. |
| 731 | * ColdBloodedTorture: He does this with Max in the beginning of ''Turbo-Charged''. Besides permanently unlinking Steel from him, he makes the hero generate so much energy that he unlocks a new variation of his power. After Terrorax obtains the T.U.R.B.O. Energy examples from Max, he commands the Nexus agents to electrocute Max's friends, just to see the demise of their friend and leader. |
| 732 | * TheDragon: To Nexus. |
| 733 | * DeathByIrony: [[spoiler: Terrorax dies by falling in a green T.U.R.B.O. energy current. Ironically, he forced Max to create this energy, so he pretty much died thanks to his own creation.]] |

| 739 | * IKnowYourTrueName: [[spoiler: Terrorax, alongside with a legion of people, knows about Max, Steel and Team Turbo's secret identities]]. |
| 740 | * KickTheDog: Briefly at the end of ''Turbo-Warriors''. After fighting for a while against Max, Terrorax confesses that his powers were incredible and attempts to make him [[BadFuture see the world dominated by Nexus]]. In this vision, the world fell into anarchy and chaos, Team Turbo were dead (presumably killed by Max), and Max, Terrorax, and Lord Nexus ruled humanity with Nexus agents glorifying them. |
| 741 | * MadDoctor: He was once a doctor before he allied with the Nexus legion. |
| 742 | * ObviouslyEvil: In his first appearance, Prometheus wears a mask resembling a demon with a permanent evil grin. This isn't even mentioning his attire with various dark colors. Later on, when Max and Alex invade his building, he is seen with a smirk on his face and saying that he knew that Max was there all along. |
| 743 | * SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Terrorax is a clear clone of Dredd (down to the same voice actor)... which doesn't explain why they couldn't have simply turned Dredd into him. |
| 744 | * SlasherSmile: His toy form invokes this, as he has a permanent evil grim (which resembles his classic counterpart). Originally, Terrorax's model was always smiling. |
| 745 | * SatanicArchetype: While his animated counterpart doesn't exactly looks like a demon, his toy line counterpart does. And really well. |
| 746 | * TheManBehindTheMan: To Nexus. He is first presented as the main antagonist of ''Turbo-Charged'' before Max and his team discover that Nexus is the man behind the Nexus legion. |
| 747 | * VillainousBreakdown: "NO, I'M TERRORAX! AND YOU…YOU'RE NOTHING!" |
| 748 | * WasOnceAMan: He injects Terror Energy into himself and transforms into a monster. He's the first character of the show to deliberately cause his own mutation too. |
| 749 | * WouldHitAGirl: At one point in ''Turbo-Charged'', Terrorax violently grabs Tempestra and squeezes her until she transforms back to her Turbo Base Mode and finally tosses her like a ragdoll. |
| 750 | * YouDontLookLikeYou: Terrorax's toy line form and animated form are completely different from each other; in fact, only their colors and the spike patterns are similar. |

| 753 | [[folder:Team Terror]] |
| 754 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/team_terror.png]] |
| 755 | [[caption-width-right:350:Terrorax's terrible twisted minions!]]Team Turbo's [[EvilCounterpart evil counterparts]]. Night Howl is a mechanically enhanced predator, Snare is a assassin robot who is constantly seeking ways of eliminating human life, and Monstro is an aberration of science that suffers from a genetic metamorphosis. |
| 756 | ---- |
| 757 | * AdaptationalCurves: Night Howl's animated counterpart has a more slightly muscular build compared to his toy line counterpart, while Snare looks bigger (unlike his animated version, who is very thin). |
| 758 | * AdorableEvilMinions: The creatures that Monstro expels are cute rather than terrifying, yet appearances deceive: they kill people by eating them alive. |
| 759 | * AIIsACrapshoot: Snare. He turned against his own creator and killed him. [[GoneHorriblyRight Ironically though, he was created to find multiple methods to execute the human race, and since he executed his own creator, it worked in a way]]. |
| 760 | * TheBrute: Monstro. |
| 761 | * DiagonalCut: In "Turbo-Charged", Max defeats Monstro by slicing him in three. |
| 762 | * KilledOffForReal: The entire team is individually taken down by Max and La Fiera in ''Turbo-Warriors''. |
| 763 | * KillerRobot: Snare, the evil counterpart of Tempestra, is a robot programmed with more than six million ways of exterminating humans, and stated that no one ever managed to escape from his cold hands, even his creator. |
| 764 | * SerialKiller: Snare pretty much fits the bill. |
| 765 | * OffWithHisHead: Happens to Snare in ''Turbo-Warriors''. |
| 766 | * PokemonSpeak: Zigzagged with Monstro, as the only word he can say is his name, but he can perfectly shout the Nexus legion's battle cry. |
| 767 | * ThePsychoRangers: They are the opposite of Team Turbo. Night Howl is La Fiera's evil counterpart, Snare is Tempestra's evil counterpart and Monstro is C.Y.T.R.O.'s evil counterpart. |
| 768 | * MeaningfulName: Night Howl's name makes an allusion to the fact that he is a wolf. Monstro was only nicknamed this by Terrorax, as the word "monstro" is the only word he can say. Snare's name makes an allusion to the traps that he uses to execute his victims. |
| 769 | * TurnedAgainstTheirMasters: Snare. |
| 770 | * ToylessToylineCharacter: Monstro, likely due to his proportions, remained as an animation-exclusive character. |
| 771 | * YouDontLookLikeYou: Night Howl and Snare's designs [[ShowAccuracyToyAccuracy are much different than their animated counterparts]]; Snare in particular looks like a completely new character. |

| 775 | |
| 776 | [[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nexus_members.png]]The members of the Nexus legion. All of them wear masks. |
| 777 | ---- |
| 778 | * TheBlank: Their masks are completely blank. They only have holes for the eyes and a stretched letter N on the region of the eyes. |
| 779 | * EvilMinions: Some of them doesn't fight. The ones seen in the Halifax building are an example. |
| 780 | * FacelessGoons: All of them wear a mask with a stretched letter N in the region of the eye. |
| 781 | * MalevolentMaskedMen |
| 782 | * MasqueradeBall: When Max and Alex go to the Halifax Industries building, they find various Nexus agents in a party/reunion. |
| 783 | * {{Mooks}}: Some of them carry weapons, such as blasters, but as expected, they are easily defeated by Max. |
| 784 | * WhiteMaskOfDoom: The men and women in the Halifax Industries building were using these. There are a few Nexus agents that wear white masks also. |
