Maxine Hunkel is incredibly intelligent. With an SAT score of 1300 she's a 4.0 student of Harvard University. This intelligence alongside he naturally bubbly nature has made her somewhat of an outcast due to her unintentional seemingly oblivious know-it-all nature. Except it's not completely oblivious.

She is fully aware of her isolation and hasshown signs of depression. Things began to change when she started developing her powers. A sneeze demolished her grandmother (honorary member and caretaker of the JSA's headquarters) Abigail "Ma" Hunkel's home, and a few days after that she woke up on top of a roaring tornado.

Her family history, powers, and untapped potential has made her a prime candidate for a reformed Justice Society of America. Her college major is theatre, and she has a flair for fashion, as shown when Stargirl takes her to design a costume.
