Maddox

Maddox Markham
Maddox was born in Iceland to Jill Markham on the "stroke of midnight" on New Years Eve.

From birth Maddox was noted to be unusually aware, as soon as his body would allow he was able to stand up and walk as well as begin reading and writing. He demonstrated perfect recall and rapidly developed his understanding of the world, speaking within 4 months of being born.

Categorized as a "Class 13 Genius" Maddox had to spend a portion of his young life in a sensory deprivation tank when his superhuman senses elevated and overwhelmed him. Once he was let out he was quickly able to graduate in his schooling and by the age of 10 had earned his first degree in Computer Sciences with a minor in Fine Arts.

His passion for art and design developed alongside his scientific pursuits and he gained numerous qualifications through his pre-teen and early teen years. At the age of 14 he even taught a course in Advanced Computer Linguistics at MIT. Nonetheless his passion for helping people and art manifested consistently and he turned down several jobs to invest his own time and effort into his fashion label M2, encouraged by Magnetique who put him forward for Halcyon Fashion Week due to his designs for superhero costumes.

Having studied in ESMOD International in Paris, where he met Magnetique, Maddox put a portfolio together and, using his skills in genetics, biology, engineering and physics he design a line of clothing and costumes that were sustainable and affordable as well as accessible to all body types.

It was during the 2021 Fashion Week that he met the The Unstable Elements who prevented his work being stole and halted efforts to kidnap him thanks to the assistance of Cameron Ashton. Due to his high profile he was rendered impossible to abduct easily even while out from under the watchful eye of his mother and family.

Joining the Unstable Elements
While running tech at the Streamies for his mother Jill Markham, he assisted the unstable elements in battling SINTHIA and her designer Ed. He provided advice and guidance to them as they prevented Ed launching a "literal flame war" to "cancel" the gathered social media personalities at the ceremony. He later worked with the Unstable Elements to try and prevent Finn being sent home and enroled in Halcyon High despite his and his mothers worries about proximity to AEGIS.

Powers and Abilities
Maddox is highly intelligent and has a gift for designing devices, treatments, programs and even magical artifacts but specializes in clothing and accessories. He is an above average athlete but is considerable weaker than most of the unstable elements on that front. He usually wears a nano-bionic suit called "SUIT" which morphs its appearance to change his clothing and provide him with smart armor.
