Mighty Max

Everyverse Origin
Max Madison's life was supposed to change for the better the day he inherited his father's old faded red baseball cap, a family heirloom that had been passed down from father to son for generations. The cap was told to have a special power that would bring luck or abilities to its wearer.

Unfortunately Max's father died not too soon after, leaving an orphaned Max to be raised by his best friend's family. 7 years later, Max is on the verge of graduating high school and still hasn't discovered the powers of the cap thanks to his father's untimely death, which unbeknownst to Max, had been planned to keep Max in the dark about his true potential.

Only rarely taking the cap off, Max's true power will be discovered on a spring break trip with his friends to Camp Crystal Lake. Max's adopted brother Grady, his girlfriend and another couple had dragged Max along, hoping to get him to loosen up. Once there, the townspeople immediately shunned the teens, believing they would bring 'him.

At the cabin, the group met caretaker Will, a handsome young man who immediately took a liking to Max. Max soon opened up to Will, revealing that when he was younger and on the swim team, an accident gave Max a terrifying fear of water. That night, a lightning strike hit and revived a sleeping Jason Voorhees, who started his killing spree once again, taking out the residents of the nearby town as Max and Will bonded, but soon got into an argument with both walking away.

Soon Jason turned his sights to the teens at the cabin, killing all of Max's friends and brother. Max was saved by Will before Jason could get to him, but Will soon fell before Jason's machete, causing Max to get angered enough to trigger the cap's powers to make portals to other places. After several attempts to kill Jason, both ended up back in the waters of Crystal Lake where Max finally put Jason back with his own machete. A wounded Max was sure to drown until the arrival of Tommy Jarvis and Jacob Johnson, who recruited Max onto their fledgling team of Nightmare Warriors.
