~ Maxine bonding with Al |
Maxine Hunkel, also known as Cyclone, is one of the three tritagonists (alongside Amon Tomaz and Atom-Smasher) in the 2022 superhero film Black Adam and is based on the comic book character of the same name. A new recruit to the Justice Society, she was experimented on at a young age, which gave her the power to control air and create tornadoes.
She was portrayed by Quintessa Swindell.
Personality[]
Maxine is very intelligent and the most keen to dish out social justice as a member of the team, wanting to use her powers for good. She is fearless, being ready to leap into battle at any moment especially when it comes to saving innocent bystanders. She shows a keen romantic interest in Al/Atom Smasher, as his optimistic nature brings her out of the cynical mood she found herself in due to her past.
History[]
Maxine is contacted by Carter Hall to join the Justice Society, as a powerful new threat has been unleashed in the Middle East. It's at the mansion on Hawkman's estate where she first meets Al and they introduce themselves before being briefed on the threats of the upcoming mission. They must team to together to stop Teth Adam in Kahndaq.
They arrived in Shiruta and both she and Al were ordered to wait by until called for by Hawman and Doctor Fate. Eventually they're summoned into battle and Maxine playfully jumps out of the jet and uses her powers to gracefully float down towards the ground, using her aerokinetic powers to try and trap Teth Adam using many industrial tubes. However, he managed to break free and Maxine falls to the ground from a blast of energy. Adam moves towards her to attack but is incapacitated by Atom Smasher, who has grown to gigantic lengths. He also manages to escape and knocks out Al, who is comforted by Maxine.
