The Maxx

The Maxx has always been the most memorable superhero for me. Superman cartoons always bored me, and while Batman was a always a badass, the whole rich superhero thing never really impressed me. The Super Friends are extremely lame. The X-Men were cool (in the comics) but it always had way too much drama with the whole love triangle thing they wanted to shove down our throats.

Then, there was The Maxx. I remember scratching my head in puzzlement every time I saw this show starring a blond chick (Julie) that would occasionally visit a tall, muscular hobo living in a tiny cardboard box in an alley where it always seemed to be raining. Delving into every character's dementia, having them always show their alter egos was always kind of intriguing.
