| ~ Max during his transformation into Pegasus. |
Max Kanté is a major character from Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir. In season 3, he receives the Horse Miraculous from Master Fu, which, when inhabited by the kwami Kaalki, can transform him into Pegasus (Pegase in the French version), a horse-themed superhero.
He is voiced by Ben Diskin for Seasons 1 through 3 and currently voiced by Zeno Robinson for Season 4 and onwards in the English dub and Martial Le Minoux in the original French version.
Appearance[]
As a civilian, he has brown skin, curly brown hair, and brown eyes.
As Pegasus, Max has much lighter brown braided hair, and he has dark brown half-transparent glasses. He has a full body dark brown outfit with what appears to be the Horse Miraculous on the chest. He has 2 spikes that appears to come from the shoes.
Personality[]
He is an intelligent and nerdy member of Mdme. Bustier's class. He is good friends with Kim.
Powers and abilities[]
As a civilian[]
Max is very smart and adept with technology, even having created Markov, a robot that possesses sentience and emotions.
As Pegasus[]
Pegasus has enchanted abilities like speed, strength and agility, and is almost completely immune to physical damage. His weapon is his horseshoe. His special ability is called Voyage, and allows him to create a portal to a specific location. This ability also triggers his Miraculous' failsafe to turn him back to his civilian form after about five minutes. If he can overcome this failsafe through sheer willpower, as demonstrated by Ladybug and Cat Noir in "Revolution", he can remain transformed and use Voyage repeatedly without needing to revert back to recuperate.

Miraculous New York[]
Season 4[]
Season 5[]
In "Jubilation", Pegasus is among the superheroes attending Ladybug and Cat Noir's wedding in the dream caused by Gift/Jubilation when they are fighting Darker Owl in reality.
In "Determination", to try and help restore morale to Paris because of losing Pegasus and the other heroes, Grevin Museum curator Veronique has a wax figurine of Pegasus made, alongside those of the rest of the team, in hopes of helping to boost hope. When Mayor Bourgeois, under Chloe's influence again, refuses to let the figures be displayed, Veronique is Akumatized by Monarch into Manipula, bringing the wax figures of Pegasus and the others to life to try and make Manipula look like a hero by bringing the team back.
In the season finale, "The Final Day", Max is part of the Resistance as they fight against the Miraculized as part of Monarch's Operation Perfect Alliance, joined by Grandmaster Su-Han and the Guardians, the United Heroez, and Ladydragon, but it is a losing fight as the Miraculized keep coming. It is only, as shown in "Miraculous World London", when Ladybug uses her Miraculous Ladybug to undo all the damage, that Max and everyone else are saved as the Miraculized are returned to normal. He later learns that Gabriel Agreste sacrificed himself to end the threat of Monarch for good. After Marinette restores the Miraculous to their original forms, she entrusts Kaalki to Max permanently, allowing Max to become Pegasus again and join the rest of the restored French Miraculous Superhero Team to prepare for whatever threats come from the new Hawk Moth in Lila Rossi/Cerise Bianca.
Season 6[]
In "Climatiqueen", this being the first episode under the new Unreal Engine animation style, Max is summoned by Ladybug and Cat Noir to help them beat the titular Akumatized supervillain to the Eiffel Tower. After transforming into Pegasus, he helps them get there before Climatiqueen with Voyage, then when Cat Noir destroys the Eiffel Tower with Cataclysm, Pegasus uses Voyage to help rescue all the tourists and civilians who were on the structure when it was destroyed. Once they are all safely on the ground, he uses Voyage one more time to allow Ladybug to catch Climatiqueen by surprise, disarm her of her parasol, and snap it in two to free the Ultrakuma for Ladybug to catch and purify. One more Voyage rescues the restored Aurore, before Ladybug uses her Miraculous Ladybug to restore the Eiffel Tower and repair all the other damage to the city caused by Aurore while Akumatized. When Pegasus, Ladybug, and Cat Noir then confront Aurore afterwards regarding what happened, she explains what it was she was hoping to get by trying to participate in Chloe's contest, which was a book signed and written by Max's mother, Claudie. Impressed by what she wanted to attain, they offer her some words of wisdom to stick to her passion with the weather, before Ladybug gives her a Magical Charm. Presumably, Max later spoke to Claudie, and got her to send a copy of her book to Aurore, thus fulfilling her wish.
In "Daddycop", Max is called by Miss Hound to aid her, Ladybug, and Cat Noir against Lt. Raincomprix, who had been Akumatized into Daddycop by Chrysalis. Using his Voyage as part of Ladybug's trap against Daddycop, this leads to Miss Hound tagging Daddycop's cruiser with Fetch, recalling it, and allowing Cat Noir to destroy it with Cataclysm, allowing Ladybug, after rescuing the restored Lt. Raincomprix as Cosmobug, to capture and purify the Ultrakuma, restore everything with Miraculous Ladybug, and gift a Magical Charm to Lt. Raincomprix before sharing a "Pound It!" with Cat Noir, Miss Hound, and Pegasus.
Later, Max is impressed with Sabrina's new appearance as she puts her past with Chloe behind her for good and seeks to become the best of friends with the rest of Team Miraculous.
At the start of "Revelator", Pegasus is with the rest of the team as, under Cat Noir and Ladybug's guidance, they attempt to unlock their adult Miraculous powers through sheer willpower. While some fail and need to recharge their Kwamis and transform again before resuming, everyone manages to successfully unlock their adult Miraculous powers and enable their ability to stay transformed indefinitely before manually reverting back by saying their power down catchphrase. To celebrate their accomplishment, Ladybug dubs the team, "The Miraculers", which they all agree on.
