Much like his present-day self, Max is a jovial, but highly-competent individual, to the point where even Exo-Skull exercised caution while dealing with him. Despite retiring, he was quick to put in the work to restore life support and gravity to the Plumber Headquarters.[4]
History[]
| “ | You're finally retiring, Maxwell? This place won't be the same without you. | ” |
Background[]
During the Limax Wars of 2017, Max lost his right arm and replaced it with a cybernetic one.[pop-up 4][2][DJW 4]
Ben 10[]
Max first appeared in Ben 10,000. He said that Ben never visited him but he saw Gwendolyn frequently. He took Ben, Gwen and Gwendolyn to Fort DNA-X. He later returned during the Bens' battle with Vilgax and helped the Gwens.
In Ken 10, Max gave his great-grandson Ken an X321 Hoverboard for his 10th birthday. He was also shown putting Ben's enemies in the Null Void following their capture.
Omniverse[]
Max reappeared in The End of an Era, where he officially retired from the Plumber business for good and gave Rook Blonko his position as Magistratus. When the power in Plumber Headquarters went out due to the solar flares, Max volunteered to get the power back.
As he worked on restoring power, Max battled and defeated Animo, who had been released from his cell by Subdora as a distraction. He managed to accomplish his task in time to save his great-grandson Ken from the clutches of Exo-Skull.

Notes[]
- ↑ Ben 10,000 and Kai were stated to have a daughter, named Gwendolyn,[pop-up 2][2][pop-up 3][3] who never appeared on-screen. When asked if Gwendolyn still existed in the Original Future Timeline as of Omniverse, Derrick J. Wyatt initially said she did not,[DJW 1] stating that he hated that she was named after Ben's cousin Gwen and decided to ignore her existence.[DJW 2] When made aware that Gwendolyn's existence was revealed via pop-up trivia years later, Derrick admitted that he did not know she existed, and was probably confused by the earlier question. He also explained that the reason she was never used in Omniverse is because the crew, who had studied the Original Series episodes for research, did not have access to the pop-ups. Therefore, they were not aware that Ben 10,000 had a daughter.[DJW 3]
