Teachers frequently described him as intelligent, yet stubborn and extremely disrespectful.

His ability to analyze situations and speak confidently in front of others made him stand out early, although during a mock trial his opponent attacked him for his birthmark, making young Max attack him by throwing a wooden ruler, this situation was resolved after Max apologized to his principal.
