You can't get rid of this guy by getting him to say his name backwards!
And, though he's a Martian, he's neither little, nor green!

"Max", who debuts here, becomes a valued (albeit temperamental) teammate, rather like Worf on Star Trek: the Next Generation.
Art from this final story from Atlas/Marvel's Space Squadron #1 (1951) is by George Tuska who later became the final artist on the original Buck Rogers comic strip (1959-67) and then assumed the art duties for almost a decade on Marvel's Invincible Iron Man!
