Alter Ego: Maxima
Status
Occupation: Empress of Almerac
Martial Status: Married [Lobo]
Legal Status: Citizen of Almerac, Dignitary of Earth
Group Affiliation(s): ): Almerac, Justice League, Suicide Squad
Origin
Place of Birth: Almerac
Known Relatives: Lobo [husband], Mobo [son], Lily-bo [daughter]
History
Maxima is the descendant of a long line of alien despots whose interstellar empire is based on the planet Almerac. Thousands of years ago, Maxima's ancestors decided to improve the strength of their own race through interbreeding with races from other worlds. They embarked upon a series of interstellar wars, conquering worlds whose inhabitants they considered to be of excellent genetic stock and capable of interbreeding with their own race. The strongest survivors were assimilated into Almerac's empire. Maxima's ancestors wiped out any alien cultures they deemed genetically inferior.
While preparing for war with the inter-stellar tyrant Mongul, Maxima intercepted a hologram transmission of Mongul's gladiatorial games in which Superman, then one of Mongul's captives, took part. She was impressed by the Man of Steel's physical prowess in defeating the champion Draaga and intrigued by his refusal to obey Mongul's order to kill his fallen opponent.
Maxima was a princess used to getting what she wanted. She decided that she wanted Superman, as he a suitable mate, capable of being her equal. She and Superman are genetically compatible; she could give him what no Earth woman could - children. He turned her down saying he had no desire to father despots. She then went on a rampage for a short while. She came back later to ask for help for her home world.
Although Maxima feels herself superior to Earthlings, she joined the Justice League to battle Brainiac who had destroyed Almerac with the War World and helped in the fight against Doomsday. She offered herself to Superman again, hoping that her recent good deeds would offset her earlier ruthlessness.
Superman, now married to Lois Lane, was even less interested in her proposal than before. Angry and humiliated, she joined the Superman Revenge Squad. She swore that Superman had rejected, humbled and humiliated her for the last time, and threatened that the next they met, it would truly be war. However, recently Maxima and the 'Chosen People of Almerac', as she phrased it, showed up in Earth's solar system where they met up with Superman and fellow JLA member, Green Lantern. Superman and Green Lantern were just beginning to investigate the disturbing disappearance of Pluto and the even more distressing engine ion trail associated with War World, when they stumbled across Maxima, her people, and Massacre.
After a battle full of wounded pride, Maxima eventually conceded her position when Almerac's rendezvous showed up using a Boom Tube. She explained that she was leading her people to safety from Imperiex, the force that conquered her world.
To save her people she allied herself with Darkseid's son, Grayven, who was taking them to regions unknown. This was also being undertaken without the knowledge of Darkseid. Maxima left Superman with these words: "Mark my words, when Imperiex comes for your precious homeworld, you'll see alliances you've never dreamed of."
All that Maxima warned eventually came to fruition as she and a myriad of other characters formed alliances with Earth and Apokolips in an effort to destroy Imperiex.
Characteristics
Age: 35
Height: 6’0”
Weight: 140lbs
Eyes: Blue
Hair: Red
Unusual Features: None
Personality: Maxima is typically depicted as a haughty and shallow individual with only self-centered motivations, lacking any real depth as a character. Maxima is now an individual with a warrior's sense of honor and a strong countenance of noble pride that had its humorous moments in relation to other characters, after meeting Superman, but still retains her selfish bratty ways. Maxima hosted the bachelorette party for Captain Atom's fiancée, Plastique, wearing a stylish and elegant "red carpet" dress while everyone else wore jeans to the event that was held in the party room of a humble Tex-Mex restaurant. This occurred again where she's visibly uncomfortable from seeing newly joined members, Zan and Jayna, gorge themselves on jelly donuts, hamburgers, french fries, and other assorted fast foods at a mall food court.

As a scion of the Blood Royale of Almerac, Maxima commands a vast array of powers that come from years of selective breeding and gene therapy.

Powers
As a scion of the Blood Royale of Almerac, Maxima commands a vast array of powers that come from years of selective breeding and gene therapy.
Known Powers:
- Physical Attributes: As an Almeracian, and one of selective breeding, Maxima possess extraordinary physical abilities. She has strength enabling her to lift over 10 tons (this can be increased with her psionic abilities), peak-human speed and reflexes, superhuman stamina enabling her to exert herself for days and superhuman durability allowing her to take bullets (this can also be increased with her psionic abilities).
- Willpower: Maxima has a tremendously strong will, which she uses to power her vast psionic powers.
- Heat Vision: Maxima has the ability to fire beams of intense heat at a target through her eyes. The maximum temperature of their heat vision is said to be around that of a nuclear detonation and is capable of melting nearly anything.
- Telekinesis: Maxima can lift, move, and alter objects with her mind. The amount of weight she can control is vast, being able to lift over 50,000 tons. She can project controlled objects at hypersonic speeds and control a vast number at a time with master control over them. She can perform the following stunts with her telekinesis:
- Telekinetic Force Field: Maxima always protects herself with a personal skin-tight telekinetic force field. She can quickly expand to protect large areas. With her force field, she can withstand strikes from Superman himself. Her force field protects her from the depths of space, including radiation and other gases. She can sustain herself with air for up to 3 hours.
- Telekinetic Force Blast: Maxima can use her telekinesis to project kinetic energy. The power of this energy is capable of harming Superman. She uses this when she doesn’t want to burn her victims with her heat vision.
- Flight: Maxima can use her telekinesis to propel herself with flight. With it, she is capable of speeds in excess of 50,000mph.
- Psionic Strength: Maxima almost always converts her telekinetic energy into pure physical strength, elevating her normal 10 ton strength to mythical levels, allowing her to lift ships, trains, and most objects on earth.
- Telekinetic Force Field: Maxima always protects herself with a personal skin-tight telekinetic force field. She can quickly expand to protect large areas. With her force field, she can withstand strikes from Superman himself. Her force field protects her from the depths of space, including radiation and other gases. She can sustain herself with air for up to 3 hours.
- Telepathy:Maxima can read another persons mind, as well as communicate with thoughts. This ability can be done over vast planetary distances. She can also:
- Psionic Shield: Maxima can erect a psychic shield for protection of herself and of others minds. This ability, combined with her enhanced willpower, gives Maxima a very strong defense against mental attacks, as well as alerting her when someone else is attempting to read or control her mind.
- Mind Control: Maxima is capable of controlling the minds of others. This is an ability she rarely uses. It can be easily used on non-enhanced minds, such as most humans, but those with amazing willpower or psychic defense can resist it.
- Psionic Blasts: She can project psionic force bolts which have no physical effects but can affect a victim's mind so as to cause the victim pain or unconsciousness.
- Psionic Shield: Maxima can erect a psychic shield for protection of herself and of others minds. This ability, combined with her enhanced willpower, gives Maxima a very strong defense against mental attacks, as well as alerting her when someone else is attempting to read or control her mind.
Known Abilities:
- Diplomacy: Trained at a young age, Maxima is a skilled diplomat. She moves through most high level social situations with a natural grace and ease. She can negotiate, act as an advocate, and bring people together and do it all with a benevolent air. She is also adept at reading the needs of her people and being a voice for them, even after abdicating the throne. She is a natural at diplomacy, a gift complimented by her upbringing.
- Leadership: Maxima knows how to be a good leader - how to organize others, how to make the most of their strengths and utilize the group to minimalize overall weaknesses. Maxima knows all about the chain of command, especially with her being at the top! She is bale to lead quick strike missions, task forces, and patrols with great success.
- Strategy: Maxima is a remarkably skilled tactician and strategist. She's able to analyze an enemy's strengths and weaknesses and use that knowledge to her best advantage. She knows how to formulate a plan of attack, and how to amend that plan as needed on the field.
- Melee Weaponry: Maxima is skilled with a broad variety of hand-held weapons - familiar with everything from staffs and staves, to swords, knives, and axes. While not intimately knowledgeable about the various weapons on Earth, she knows enough about weaponry to be able to pick one up and use it - even if not in the intended form. Her general melee weapon skill is equivalent to Barda’s.
- Piloting: As part of her overall training, Maxima is trained how to operate a variety of crafts - she is the most familiar with those of Almeracian origin, but also has experience with things like boats, planes, and cars on Earth. As long as she can understand the system the vehicle is based on, she can pilot it with at least a moderate degree of success.
Strength Level: 10 tons normally, but can enhance up to 50,000 tons with telekinesis.
Weaknesses:
- Stubborn: Heaven help the person who crosses Maxima when she gets her mind set on something. It's been said that the dark side of a strong will is the belief that when you're right you're right no matter what anyone else says. Maxima occasionally has been known to behave like this as well, especially when someone doesn't believe what she says or trust her instincts. While she will eventually calm down, her stubborn streaks can be unpleasant for everyone involved.
- Temper: Maxima has a temper. A temper that at times could even rival that of Darkseid. This at times can prove to be a hindering force to her...and may one day prove her undoing.
- Attitude: Maxima has what some might call a bit of a...personality. Ok...so she's a bit opinionated. Alright fine! She doesn't take anything from anyone and she has no problem letting you know that. Maxima is has a rather ingrained response to people that irritate her or that she finds moronic...she becomes a royal (rhymes with witch). Maxima has no fear, and that means she has no problem getting in anyone's face.
- Responsibility: As the Queen of Almerac, Maxima has a large weight of responsibility upon her shoulders. Maxima sees herself as responsible for the welfare or her people, and it is now the utmost priority in her life.
- Power: Maxima generally uses her telekinesis to giver her a shield and imbue herself with strength. If caught off-guard, this ability can be down, and she is not as strong, or protected, and could suffer serious injuries with enough force.
