Real Name: Maxwell "Maxie" Astrapi
Gender: Male
Age: 49
Occupation: Strip club owner
Appearance: Bald head with a small black beard. His eyes are sky-blue
Real Personality: Loud and arrogant, people still find a certain... charm with Maxie. It's hard to dislike the guy, even when he's being boisterous and over the top. He's intelligent, and could easily have gone the way of the academic, but that just wasn't his style. He's also a shrewd businessman and his own self-taught lawyer, though you wouldn't guess either by looking at him.
Super-Name: Zeus
Powers/Skills: Ability to harness electricity and use it for projectiles. Can also speak to birds (on whatever sub-sentient level they can communicate)
Alignment: LG
Fighting Style: He doesn't fight to kill, but isn't afraid to get rough. He'd rather zap people from farther back then get in there punching though.
Super Personality: Same as regular
Costume: A mock-up similar to a Greek drama mask, as well as a toga. Yes, he wears underwear beneath it. And usually warmer stuff too. Illinois can get really cold. Steel-toed boots as well.
Identity: Secret
Backstory: Maxie actually has no Greek blood in him. Even so, he's always loved mythology, especially that of the peninsulas between the Aegan and the Mediterranean. In college, he studied history and religion, but ended up dropping out. The whole stuck up life of a historian wasn't quite his style. So, he and a couple of his female friends opened up a strip club. Being who he was, Maxie called the club "Olympus" and themed it heavily around the Greek, which was his passion. Lots of wines, free table grapes for his guests, that kind of thing. He isn't entirely sure how he got his powers - all he knows is that halfway through a session with a hot latina chick when he was in his late 20s he zapped her a little. Good thing she was a kinky chick. A few years later, his club was ransacked by a local gang, and he took it on himself to get revenge. In doing so, he met Luke Bellows, the vigilante known as Forge, and the two began working together. Being the showman he is, Maxie decided to base himself off the greek god Zeus (of course), and as time went on and the two let more supers into their circle, his influence rubbed off on both them and the media, to the point where he refers to them all as his Olympians.
Motivation: To keep the order in Sparta.

PERSONAL AFFILIATIONS
- Selena and Phoebes Rhodes - The twins are the most recent additions to the crew. When word came out about a pair of new vigilantes, unaligned with the groups that were already in the area, Maxie took it upon himself to learn more. As usual, he was able to beat The Prince to finding them, and upon finding otu that they were twins, he knew exactly what he was going to call them. Sometimes, Phoebeus plays at the club, just for fun. He has yet to get Selena to dance for him, however.
- Luke Bellows - Maxie and Luke have known each other for some time now, and became good friends. He often uses Luke as a co-leader when he's not available. The two met when their raids on a gang base coincided.
- Hunter Hayes - Hayes was a bit of a bitch to find. It took the combined efforts of Maxie and Prince to help track down the speedster. When they did, Hunter was far from the person they'd expected to find. When he learned what Maxie was doing though, he was more than glad to join up (much to Prince's chagrin).
- Rick Jones - Rick was one of the first guys Luke and Maxie picked up to help them out. He showed promise, but needed training and maybe a tad of control. He was a successful student and is now a valued member of the team, as well as the club's most popular barkeep.
- Anthony Munin - As could be expected, the two superhero team leaders have met each other many times before. They don't get along very well - Anthony seems a little stuck-up for Maxie's liking - but they both know that the other is a strong leader in their own right, and do have small amounts of respect for each other
- Brandon Ostberg - Anthony put Brandon in charge of intelligence gathering, which means that a lot of times when hunting down supers who have been showing up around, the two either have to work together or directly opposing each other, depending on what they wanted out of the super they were hunting down. Maxie views Brandon as a rival even moreso than he does Anthony.
- Theus - Maxie met Theus during his brief stint in college, attending a gala for mythology buffs. Theus always had the most interesting stories, and had new takes on some myths that Maxie hadn't considered before. Theus has continued acting as an advisor and mentor to Maxie, someone to bounce ideas and thoughts off of. He never told Maxie of his history, but Maxie has a general idea from the fact that he looks the exact same now as he did in the late 80s.
