Maxine "Max" Gibson is a supporting protagonist in the DC Animated Universe television series Batman Beyond. She was the smartest student at Hamilton High School and a friend of Terrence "Terry" McGinnis, being one of the few people to know his secret identity as Batman and being one of his allies. She is voiced by Cree Summer.
Max was brought up in an unhappy childhood, with her parents divorcing, resulting in her and her older sister moving in with their mother. In order to make ends meet, Max's mother was at work, away from home most of the time, leaving Max and her sister alone to fend for themselves. Max later became the class valedictorian after getting the highest score on her GAT test. She managed to create a computer program to find out the new Batman's identity and Terminal's identity. Max deduced from her findings that the new Batman had to be involved with the school, and suspected that Terry was a member of the Jokerz who had been attacking her. After the GAT tests, Terminal led the Jokerz to attack the school. Terminal found Max and tried to kill her, but was stopped by the Batman. Terminal's identity was later revealed to be Carter Wilson, a student at Hamilton High who tried to murder Max because she had the highest score on a test, with him getting second place, so that he could get first place with her out of the way. Max told Terry that she knows that he is Batman and promised not to tell anyone else. Terry agreed and called her "Alfred". Max helped Terry keep his normal life in check.
