Maxwell has some of his father’s heightened abilities from the Lazarus Pit along with some enhancements from his time with A.R.G.U.S.  These include slowed aging, improved healing, strength, dexterity, durability etc.  He is an expert marksman with most firearms, especially handguns, including exotic off-world weaponry.  He is an advanced hand-to-hand combatant and has the gadgetry you expect from a member of the Bat Family along with a boot knife and throwing knives.  His early training was conducted by his father and he spent an extended amount of time in the U.S. before serving time with A.R.G.U.S. for a political assassination Deathstroke committed.  After clearing his name, he finally returned to Gotham City.  His introduction into the Bat Family was rocky but he was eventually accepted.

Maxwell stands out from the rest of the Bat Family in a few ways.  Maxwell thinks and acts more like a soldier on a do or die mission rather than a detective or standard vigilante.  Also, he is the only one who is not an expert acrobat.  This was the source of no small amount of teasing until he shot Dick (with rubber bullets).  He has better the average skill with swords but much to his chagrin he has never beaten Damien in a practice duel.  He also prefers the simple throwing knives he used in the special forces to the “fancy” batarangs.

 Trivia

Maxwell was the only member of the Bat Family not away on a mission and stayed with Alfred when he died.

Maxwell once wielded a Red Lantern ring and it was only through his team's intervention and especially Nightfire’s use of a blue ring he was saved.  He still has the red ring which he keeps well hidden.

Maxwell once terrorized Gotham as the Joker for a year after being exposed to a special blend of Joker gas.  The real Joker wielded him as a weapon until finally pushing him to far by trying force him to kill Bruce.

A rejuvenated Maxwell will end up in Neo Gotham and be a close confidant and partner to Terry McGinnis and will also work with Damien Wayne (Ra’s Al Gul).
