Added DiffLines:

* DoorstopBaby: She was left on the front steps of an academy for witches and fairy godmothers.


Added DiffLines:

** In the comic books explaining her origin, she grew up at an academy for training witches and fairy godmothers, but the sisters (a witch and a fairy) who ran the school couldn't figure out where to place her because she had characteristics of both. The title of "Scary Godmother" was created literally just for her, because they decided she's literally both a witch ''and'' a fairy godmother instead of being one or the other.


Added DiffLines:

* TakeAThirdOption: How she was christened "Scary Godmother." Her attempts at being a witch were too fairy-like, and vice versa, but when her teachers realized her efforts fit all the criteria for a witch and fairy godmother, despite being somewhat unorthodox, they created the role just for her.


Added DiffLines:

* AchievementsInIgnorance: In ''Wild About Harry'' he tries everything he can think of to get out of working as a professional monster, and spends his time robbing campsites for food. He accidentally becomes the scariest, most mysterious monster the Fright Side has ever heard of, and everybody's greatly shocked when they learn the "Mystery Monster" is ''Harry''.
* BasementDweller: In the comics he leeches off his mother and lives in her basement. The kicker is his mother lives in a ''cave''.


Added DiffLines:

* FreudianExcuse: ''Wild About Harry'' reveals the reason he's such a lazy, wasteful jerk is because his mother unintentionally spoiled him when he was a baby instead of letting him learn to do things for himself.


Added DiffLines:

* TookALevelInJerkass: In the comics he wasn't so annoying in his earlier appearances, but the more focus he got the bigger an asshole he became.


Added DiffLines:

* HiddenDepths: Max prefers things to be old-fashioned and expresses disdain for modern things, but is secretly insecure about being out of touch with the times and gets self-conscious about it.
* MamaWolf: In ''Ghoul's Out For Summer'', after learning Orson has been abused and mistreated by their so-called vampire master, the moment Max and Ruby arrive to save Orson, Ruby has to be physically restrained from ''destroying'' the vampire she mistakenly assumes is the Master.
-->'''Ruby''': ''Get your claws off him, you wretched being!''
-->'''Max''' (''restraining Ruby''): Calm yourself, my Tyson-esque treasure!


Added DiffLines:

** And in the comics, he's prepared to murder his former master for abusing and using Orson and several other vampire fledglings as his slaves. Specifically, Max promises to "Rend him limb from limb!"

* BreakoutCharacter: Of the original comics. He wasn't present at all in the very first book, but has made at least a cameo in every single Scary Godmother story since, often playing a crucial role in the story. He even had his own mini-series, ''Wild About Harry,'' and Jill Thompson has described how she had to fight to keep him at arm's length at times because he would threaten to dominate any story he appeared in.
** {{Lampshaded}} and parodied in the ''Revenge of Jimmy'' animated special, where he tries to insert himself as the star in the opening credits.
