Using powers he acquired in a freak accident, Max teaches science in ways never before seen in a classroom. Whether shrinking to explore an atom or riding on a sound wave, Max does what it takes to make science super cool.

Max doesn't even need his super powers for this issue. Using the basic forces of heat, cold and pressure, Max demonstrates how matter can change from one state to another. He demonstrates how we can transform matter very easily in our kitchens and laboratories, and how nature does it herself on a massive, atmospheric scale.
