[color=fff200][b]Alignment:[/b][/color] Babyface.

[color=fff200][b]Gimmick:[/b][/color] [i]The[/i] classic babyface. A real life superhero. Never gives up and always does what's right. A flag-waving American patriot that stands up and fights for American values.    

[color=fff200][b]Personality:[/b][/color] A man that has been consumed by his fear of losing the spotlight and will do whatever it takes in order to stay on top. Motivated both by a selfish desire for personal glory, and by a genuine love of his role as a hero to young fans. Has naturally developed a considerable ego based on his many past successes and has become blinded by his own arrogance. Often blames others for his own shortcomings and limitations, and stubbornly refuses to evolve his outdated babyface persona. 

[color=fff200][b]Biography:[/b][/color] Perhaps unsurprisingly, Max Power started out as a bodybuilder before eventually breaking into the wrestling business. His impressive physique earned him an opportunity with GPW, which at the time was owned and operated by Jack Flanagan's father. Flanagan himself was an on-screen talent playing the role of a heel manager, and he was paired with Max Power upon his debut. Max was originally positioned as a monster heel, a man of few words whose talking was done primarily by his mouthpiece Flanagan. However, his dominant displays of strength in the ring were soon met with cheers from fans, and it became clear that Power's money would be made as a babyface. 

Once Jack took over the company following his father's death, the wheels were put in motion for a Max Power face turn. Tension began to develop between Max and Jack on-screen, ultimately culminating with Max turning on his manager and decking him in the jaw. Wrestling history was about to be made. Initially, there was some concern that Max would be unable to carry himself on the microphone but those concerns were soon dashed as he became one of the best promos in the business. His raw intensity and natural charisma allowed him to connect with the fans, and his never say die babyface persona propelled him to superstardom.  

Max captured the GPW World Heavyweight Championship, and brought the company unparalleled success as Champion. Throughout the 1980s, Max dominated the wrestling scene, and his name became synonymous not just with GPW but with wrestling as a whole. In the early 1990s however, a cultural shift occurred in the United States. Fans grew tired of the traditional babyface schtick they had seen for so long, and eventually began to turn on their childhood hero. Today it is not uncommon for Max Power to hear just as many boos as he does cheers in arenas across the country, arenas that are not nearly as full as they were years before.
