Max Steel

Teenager Max McGrath moves with his mother Molly to the town of Copper Canyon, where he had been born and where his father Jim McGrath had died in a supposed storm. In his first few days at school, he realizes that almost everyone in town knows more about Jim than he does because his mother refuses to talk about Jim's past or death. During dinner with Jim's friend Miles Edwards, Max learns that his father worked for N-TEK, an advanced research company now run by Miles. Concurrently after arriving, Max discovers he emits a unique form of tachyonic energy called TURBO which is powerful enough to overload any electrical item but has no control over when he emits this energy. After sensing an overload during a date with Sofia, Max encounters an amnesiac alien creature named Steel who symbiotically bonds with Max to absorb the energy.
