Bio[]
Prior to the Crusade[]
The self-proclaimed Supreme Evil Overlord of the Galaxy, Maximus I.Q. (voiced by Colin Fox) has only one driving ambition — to rule the galaxy. He serves as the main antagonist in the series. He presents enough of a danger that he is Betty's most annoying and frequent nemesis, with a cat-like appearance and a somewhat regal bearing (even if he's the only one who believes so). Like any other cat, however, he hates getting wet, to the point where it is enough to distract him from his schemes. He is also ill-tempered, self-important, overbearing, scheming, two-faced, abusive, selfish, and thievish.
His citadel contains various stolen items, such as a Starcruiser from "Best (Mis)Laid Plans" and a table (from when he was five) from "The Minion".
He commands a sizeable army consisting of both robot subjects and the ninja-like Blood Monks of Morbidia, and he is also one of the larger collectors of glass and rubber ducks. He loves ducks. And he is the "father" of The Betty Clones. Despite his hatred of Betty, he has occasionally teamed up with her, whether it's to foil the plans of his father, Max Sr., or, in Takes One To Know One, to recover one of his stolen ducks from the villainess Pandora. Among Maximus's many goals is to destroy Galactic Guardian Headquarters, as well as to locate and destroy Betty's home planet, both of which he has come close to doing on numerous occasions, before being ultimately repelled by Betty every time.
His level of crime seems to vary throughout the series, as in some episodes, he commits milder crimes, such as robbing banks (Cheerleaders Of Doom), brainwashing people to buy his merchandise (Max-Land), or poaching a Piraxian Rhino egg to make an omelette (Poached Egg), whethers in other episodes, he is seen performing supervillainy on a more galactic level, such as shredding the space-time continuum of the Worm Hole of Nexius (The Great Race), torturing Coloosians with deadly sound waves (Toxic Talent), or using a giant satellite to make comets destroy planets (Self Sabotage).
His most complex plan culminates in "Galactic Guardians No More!" where he, along with every other villain in the galaxy, relinquishes his life of crime (or so it seemed) so that the Galactic Guardians would disband, due to the fact that there is no need for crimefighters if there is no crime to fight. However, when the other supervillains (particularly Infantor and Iciclia) found it difficult to pretend to be nice all the time, they committed a series of minor mis-deeds, arousing the Guardians' suspicion that perhaps this was a plot by Maximus, sending him back to the drawing board.
The Galactic Crusade[]
Maximus plays a large role in Galactic Crusade, as the surpreme Overload first encounters Android Nation Continental Mega Jerora Roran immiedietaly following the misunderstanding attack on Galactic Guardian Head Quarters 4 hours ago, and Mega's first encounter with Atomic Betty although the 2 no longer saw eachother due to being inside seperate ships at the time.
Maximus at the time was instructing his legion of henchman for his new plan on solar system domination, until his presentation was interrupted by the appearance of the 43 , that had just appeared out of Hyper space, and was slowly drifting passed his citadel in the horizon depths of space.
Accusing the partially damaged ship to be Atomic Betty, Maximus's Armada is unleashed on the 43, who at the time had to rely on frontal camera due to the main Canopy being sealed off after Atomic Betty's cruiser smashed into it a few hours ago, with her own ship.
Maximus after getting closer enough towards the vessel is than surprised at the sudden appearance as it look nothing like Galactic Guardian material or anything that he has ever seen before, but insists on destroying the vessel anyway accusing the beings onboard for being spies.
The 43 however reacts first and fires on Maximus's ship first before racing passed him causing him to grown in anger and smack the daylights out of Minimus ordering him and the entire Armada to attack the unidentified vessel, from here a second major battle erupts infront of Maximus's lair, this time much larger than the previous one already fought at Galactic Guardian Head Quarters.
The 43, engaged in one final Battle with Maximus's Armada, for a short while as he was starting to lose one ship after another, getting both Angry and surprised at the same time wondering how one simple unidentified Star ship was making a fool out of him and his Armada.
After summoning his ship;s Cannon, he had ordered all the remaining armada ships to stand down, so he can deal with the 43 Star ship on his own, and with that another Duel began.
At one point Maximus managed to damage the 43's left wing with his giant blaster underneath his ship, causing it to spin out of control, for a little before it finally became stabilized once more. Laughing in victory, Maximus moves his ship within range of the 43, with Minimus laughing and cheering on his dark Master, but just as Maximus was about to fire a second time, the 43 counter attacked by Firing it's Cutters against Maximu's ship, Breaching the side of the ship and cutting off one of the ship's rear tail wings.
Maximus growled as he fired the super cannon again, but the 43 dodges it at light speed and Shoots it's Cutters at the cannon destroying it in a single shot. The blast was so strong that Maximus's ship when flying upwards from the powerful blast radius down below, with the 43 chasing after, firing it's Cutters a second time this time Breaching the lower portion of the ship blowing 2 large holes under it.
Panicking, Maximus's attempted to radio the Armada to continue they're attack on the unidentified ship, but the 43, destroyed the ship's radio room just before it could be used, sucking 4 of his henchman into Space. Just than the 43, hovered infront of Maximus's cockpit for a few seconds than slowly elevated over the ship getting the 2 nervous and confused. Abduct o Tethers began to surround Maximus's ship. Him Minimus and the rest of the Crew tried to strafe right but the 3 Tethers grabbed a hold of the ship.
The Electric currents from the 43's tethers caused the ship's system's to Burn out and the Engines to explode Maximus's ship was now disabled.
Moments after the engines had exploded the 43's tethers released the ship than Disappeared into HyperSpace leaving Maximus's disabled in front of the debris field of his citadel.
Atomic Betty eventually arrived 9 hours later after the Duel, but was horrified along with her crew after seeing the shape of Maximus's ship, Maximus was escorted by Atomic Betty to his Citadel, to much to her surprise, Maximus was happy she had showed up, after his almost near death experience against the 43, but still swore to destroy her another day.
Moments after the Duel of Maximus's Citadel, the Galactic Guardians unleashed the Galactic Guardian Crusade, with Atomic Betty leading it in order to find and arrest the operator of the 43. The 43 afterwards never showed up in front of Maximus's Citadel again in the days of the Galactic Guardian Crusade.
