Maxie Zeus



Maxie Zeus first appeared in The Batman episode "Thunder" voiced by Phil LaMarr. In this interpretation, he wears high-tech armor with gloves that generate electricity and is sane for most of the part. The gladiator armor suit he wears is more similar to Roman mythology than Greek. It is also notable that this version of Maxie Zeus despises being called "Maxie" as it is shown that when Batgirl calls him that and he gives her a paralyzing electric shock replying "And the name is Maximillian!". Maxie here is an eccentric/deluded multimillionaire and owner of Zeus Industries, who is obsessed with Greek mythology. He runs for mayor against Marion Grange. Maxie Zeus rode in his airship New Olympus in order to make Gotham City his kingdom after losing his election against Grange. Batman and Batgirl defeated him. When recovering and wondering what happened to New Olympus, Batman stated that it "became the New Atlantis." In "Rumors", Maxie Zeus later reappeared as one of the many villains captured by Rumor.

Biography
Despite it looking like Maximillian Zeus would defeat Mayor Grange in the next election, after Zeus unveiled some questionable tactics that he would employ should he become mayor of Gotham, Grange won in a landslide vote. Not wanting to see his metropolis of a city "fall", Zeus overtook Gotham with his aerial fortress, The New Olympus. Batgirl intervened along with Batman and together they took out Zeus and his fortress.
