The Maxx

The Maxx is the titular protagonist of the comic book series and the MTV animated series of the same name. His adventures is followed in the real world and in an alternate reality, referred to as the Outback. In the real world, the Maxx is a vagrant, a "homeless man living in a box", while in the Outback, he is the powerful protector of the Jungle Queen.
