Sports Maxx

Background

Sports Maxx is a car dealer by profession but is in fact a vicious member of the mafia in Florida, having committed over forty counts of various crimes. He is first shown curb stomping a man to death outside Gloria Costello 's restaurant, only to have been witnessed committing the act by Ermes fleeing the scene. Instead of pursuing Ermes, his attention would shift to her sister who put herself in danger calling the police on Maxx to protect Ermes.↗

During the four years prior to Jolyne’s incarceration, Maxx accustomed himself to life in prison and builds his own schedule; maintaining the old prison cemetery and taking up taxidermy as a hobby. At some point, he acquainted himself with the priest Enrico Pucci, who notices his potential for evil and thus reaches out to him with his Stand Whitesnake; giving the Stand Limp Bizkit to Maxx in exchange for aiding in his plans.↗

Stone Ocean (2011-2012)

One year before his current sentence was to conclude, Maxx is summoned to meet with Whitesnake at the chapel; unaware of himself being pursued by a vengeance-seeking Ermes Costello on his trail. Ermes would forgo her preemptive attack upon Pucci's arrival and flees, to which Maxx greets the priest and asks for a rose that he particularly likes from the nearby bouquet. Pucci obliges as Maxx infests the rose with maggots using his Stand ability.↗

Meeting with Whitesnake, Maxx was asked to revive a human bone with his Stand powers, much to the latter's confusion as to use his Stand with only a single bone. He ultimately obliges under the threat of Whitesnake taking back his given ability, activating its power on the bone. The bone suddenly tears through Whitesnake's (and by proxy Pucci's) hand and vanishes, to which the former briefly chokes Maxx demanding to know what he did to it much to his bewilderment.↗

Kiss of Love and Revenge

The next day, Maxx makes his way to the prison’s workshop when he sees a photo of Gloria Costello posted on a nearby pipe. Intrigued, he takes it and it doing so activates Ermes Costello 's trap. When he takes the photo, Maxx peels off a sticker and makes the pipe and its hidden duplicate merge together, trapping Maxx. To seal the deal, Ermes creates another duplicate to cover the hole left by the merging and turns the pipe into a coffin for Maxx. Maxx then activates his Limp Bizkit.↗

Confused, Maxx barely remembers his mission and decides to let off some steam with a sex worker from the female ward. However, the people around him act strangely and ignore him. In the cemetery, Maxx searches an inmate who was knocked out during the confusion and finds his drug syringe but when he injects it, his body oozes with sewage.↗

When Jolyne, Ermes and F.F. arrive, Sports Maxx had planned a trap by reanimating an entire mob of invisible zombies in the cemetery. With the zombie of the woman he killed earlier as a decoy, Maxx manages to take out Jolyne and focuses his attention on Ermes. He sics the zombies on Ermes so that they devour her and he can bite off her head from behind. However, Ermes splits her head with the stickers, protecting the original, and attacks.↗

Under World

Maxx later returns briefly in the form of a memory through use of Under World to further explain the nature of it to Ermes.↗

Personality

When Foo Fighters mentions Ermes 's story, she says that Sports Maxx killed someone by making the victim put a wooden stick in their mouth before violently stomping on them. He then had Gloria Costello killed for denouncing him to the police.↗↗↗↗

but also performs other, more respectable activities even if they're often related to death.↗↗↗↗↗

Abilities / Stand

Limp Bizkit, given to Maxx via Stand DISC, originally could only allow him to reanimate the corpses of people and animals around him into invisible, undead versions of themselves.↗
