Max (Sam and Max)

Max Discription

Max is a 3-foot tall, white-furred anthro "rabbity-thing". His appearance is generally cute and cuddly, but contrasted by his enormous sharp-toothed grin, which remains plastered on his melon-like head at almost all times. He has big feet and long ears that always stay upright, as well as a pair of glaring, beady eyes. Apparently, he has a metal plate in his skull. He also has a belly button.

Max's Personality

Max is best described as silly, funny, feisty, immature, reckless, impatient, annoying, destructive, and violent Even while around Sam. However, it's shown he can be quite emotional and caring, more so in the cartoon series than in the video games. Purcell describes him as 'being made up of pure Id', and when it comes to comparing him and Sam, he states that "Sam is the guy we are, while Max is the guy we want to be." Max enjoys extreme violence and prefers to solve problems aggressively. He has a slight distaste for the long stories, anecdotes, and sentences that Sam constantly spouts forth, often asking Sam and others not to use different words such as 'ensue' and 'acumen'. He shares Sam's enthusiasm in just about anything, especially if it involves large guns and trouble. He also has very poor hygiene, as he sometimes tastes his own belly button lint, and once had a large "suspicious growth" behind his ear. Sam has commented on his pungent bodily odors on more than one occasion. Max always carries a Luger around, and when asked where he keeps it usually responds with "None of your damn business.". He is fairly trigger-happy with it in the early comics, but this is rarely seen elsewhere. Like Sam, he's a lousy shot and is never seen usually hitting anyone. Instead of shooting guns, Max prefers to maul his foes and torture them in whatever way he can come up with. This fails miserably about as often as it works; despite his boundless energy and love for violence, Max isn't particularly good at fighting. Max appears to have some repulsion to physical touch, especially of any affectionate varieties. As a child, he would claim any sort of romantic touch was "grody!". This mindset continued into adulthood; though he was usually slightly more subtle with his distaste for touch, he actually gagged when seeing molepeople courting practises in the cartoon and takes every opportunity to denounce hugs and kisses-

Personality 2

-(most recently seen in This Time it's Virtual - when Sam calls him "huggable", he immediately responds with "Don't hug me", most likely directed at Lumpy.) Despite this, he doesn't seem to mind affection when he initiates it, or when given it by Sam, willingly kissing the player in Poker Night at the Inventory 2 and being generally affectionate with Sam, even allowing the latter to rest his hand on Max's head (something most often seen in the comics). He also seems to have his own "brand" of affection, which he often likens to "tough love" - essentially, acts of senseless violence, and heated, violent arguments. This is most obvious in the Telltale series of games. When interacting with the long-abandoned "Lefty's Hardware" store, Max fondly recalls times he had positive interactions with Lefty, which Sam notes were usually max committing nigh-unspeakable acts of violence against the store clerk. Additionally, he apparently punches Sam, perhaps repeatedly, after he gets up in the morning as a means of showing love for him. When Sam asks for for him to not attack so early in the morning, Max exclaims "No way, Sam! I could never stop loving you!"

Relationships

Sam Sam has been Max's best friend ever since their childhood. They attended high school together and later became untrained policemen, though it is unclear precisely when. They are incredibly close and will become physicallt uncomfortable when separated for any reason, both willing to delve into great lengths to protect each other. Max is known for showing his affection towards Sam in the form of violence, but he harbors no ill will towards him. Several examples in the series show that they are "married". Much like his relationship with Bosco, Max is a (questionably) friendly acquaintance of Sybil's. He enjoys seeing what her latest career path is, and oftentimes humors her latest career services alongside Sam. Sybil has expressed that Max seems "a bit improbable" and once implied that he was Sam's imaginary friend. However it's clear that he cares enough about her to surrender himself for the birth of her child. Much like Sam, Max seems to tolerate Jimmy Two-Teeth for the most part. They allow him to share their residence, but aren't afraid to get violent with him when there's a disagreement or they need something from him (i.e. the office phone in Culture Shock, or Coins in Reality 2.0)

Sybil Pandemik

Possessing experience in the fields of tattooing, psychoanalysis, tabloid publication, court witnessing, dating service, carbon dating service, beta testing, Queenship, SCUBA diving, dark wizardry and brain surgery, among other things, Sybil has a difficult time settling down on a single profession before losing interest and finding something else to do. While her constantly fluxing career makes it hard for her to gain any permanent customers, her varied experience often comes in handy for the Freelance Police Sybil Pandemik has light skin and long black hair she keeps pulled back in a bun. Her hazel-green eyes are framed by her signature red cateye glasses. She sports a matching maroon outfit that resembles an altered tang suit. She wears small silver hoop earrings. She has a beauty mark above her mouth on the right side of her face, and her forearms are covered in black tattooed lines that intersect to create a design similar to flames. Despite the constant pestering, Sybil seems to actually get along with Max quite well. She doesn't always take to his jokes, but for the most part she seems happy to have him and Sam around, likely because she never has any other customers. In the Season 3 finale, Max decided to sacrifice himself to save Sybil's life. This is something that he usually would not do, not seeming to be a selfless individual, but his Superego uses this event as a point that Max is worth saving after all.

Jimmy Two-Teeth

Jimmy is a rat with a cap. After his attempt to kidnap Sam & Max's phone in Culture Shock ends up with him being dropped out the window, he mostly avoids them to go about his own business. Still, their paths repeatedly cross in ways that end badly for him. When the Maimtron 9000 breaks down at the start of Season Two, he uses the opportunity to rebuild it as a casino and take up residence there. In Ice Station Santa, Jimmy turns out to have an wife and son, and Sam & Max have to save their Christmas (or rather, prevent themselves from ruining it). He was/is an excellent boxer (mainly because the ability of wielding a human-sized boxing glove). His full name is "James Tiberius Two-Teeth". Jimmy is never seen in The Devil's Playhouse, but mentioned in The Penal Zone. Max hinted that Jimmy and other rats carried a plague, securing Max's re-election, and was bought off by Max to go into hiding.

President of the United States of America

As of Abe Lincoln Must Die!, Max was President of the United States. Between Beyond Time and Space and The Devil's Playhouse, Max was somehow re-elected. However, upon his mutation and death, Superball took his place as acting President. With his revival, it's unknown if he tried to get re-elected or got his position back on a technicality.

Agent Superball

A 41 year old secret service member. He was first introduced in Abe Lincoln Must Die!, guarding the doors of the White House as part of the Secret Service. His unfortunate taste in employers and subsequent misguided loyalty to said employers make him repeatedly obstruct Sam and Max's path (particularly when that path goes through a door), happily working for the likes of Chuckles, Hugh Bliss and even Jurgen. Despite this, however, he does like Sam and Max to some extent and helps them with their case during The Devil's Playhouse. In The City That Dares Not Sleep, he shows faith in Sam being able to restore Max to normal before resorting to nuclear methods. He also displays genuine grief by running out of a room crying when it's concluded that Max can't be revived. In Chariots of the Dogs he is seen using amnesia-inducing sunglasses, similar to the fictional "neuralizers" of the Men In Black, to keep the existence of time travel secret on behalf of some unknown employer. Superball is married and has a son (Superball Jr.) who is starting first grade. He also looks suspiciously like the IRS agents in "Day of the Tentacle". He is apparently a very capable singer and dancer, as seen in Good For You (Good For Me). His codename refers to the fact that he is a bouncer. Though he almost always speaks in a stern monotone voice and in a rigid manner, he does occasionally display some emotion publicly. One example is in Bright Side of the Moon, when he talks about Hugh Bliss' Blister of Tranquility. Another is in The City That Dares Not Sleep, when he bursts into genuine tears of grief and runs out of the room, as mentioned earlier.

The commissioner

The Commissioner is the mysterious figure who gives Sam & Max their assignments. In the original comics, he rarely goes beyond informing the Freelance Police that there is "bad trouble" in a particular location. In other media, however, he is usually more specific. Normally Sam is the one who speaks with The Commissioner, however on rare occasions Max manages to pick up the phone first. The Commissioner occasionally uses alternate methods of communicating with Sam and Max. Some examples include post cards, conch shells, and notes tied to bricks.
