The eldest of the three Dalton siblings, and leader of The High Command, Maxwell Dalton had the ability to temporarily take over people's minds, controlling them through a form of telepathic hypnosis. This ability didn't work on everyone, and its effects varied from person to person. Max's limited telepathic powers allowed him to - at times - understand what others were thinking or feeling. He was able to use this ability, and his natural intelligence and business skills, to forge a huge business empire. Max and his brother and sister were the only superheroes whose real identities were publicly known.

Costume:
Like the other members of The High Command, Max wore a fireproof and bullet-proof black tight-fitting uniform, created Dalton's research and development company MadEdDal and later enhanced by Joshua Dalton.
