Profile
Maxxx – Head of Addictions
“Even amongst Death, Inc.'s most devastating Sorrows, the organism known as Maxxx is a bit of an odd one out, a true abomination that raises more questions than it answers about the company's recruitment process. Rumors are rife concerning his life before death: pathological collector of all liquid and olfactory substances from the surface, organized crime lord taken hostage by a private militia, trainee chemist who got caught up in an unfortunate experiment... There is no end to the speculation, but so far nobody has guessed correctly.”
Appearance
Maxxx takes the form of a skinny, male humanoid. His signature outfit is a white, button-down shirt with black pants. A syringe filled with an unknown substance is lodged in his chest area. He wears a white mask with wide, pupil-less eyes and a large grin. A billowing, black mass of unknown matter takes the place of the area where a neck and head would normally be. Maxxx is able to manipulate the black mass, such as sprouting eyeballs out of it that can shoot needle-like projectiles, or morphing it into a giant maw that acts as a mouth. During Maxxx's boss fight, Maxxx can be seen rapidly flicking through different outfits, or bodies, multiple times per second. Upon defeat, the expression on Maxxx's mask changes to a closed-mouth frown, and the surface is damaged with cracks, with a single bandage placed on the mask's forehead.
