Max Lopez is the son of George and Angie Lopez and brother to Carmen Lopez. Just like his father, Max is dyslexic and has to work extra hard to succeed in school but managed to pass. He is an avid skateboarder.

Because he was having problems sleeping and focusing in school, Vic, his grandfather, suggested that Max take boxing lessons, where Max appears to have immediate talent. He eventually stopped when he ended up having a concussion. He has a crush on Veronica his own cousin, but this crush quickly fades

After getting some "player" teachings from George, Max finds out he is naturally talented at esports. He enters a fighting game tournament, but is forced to leave due to Angie's belief that video games cause violence. When his parents asked him if he has had any sexual contact, he replied "I've only had upstairs outsidies", meaning he felt breasts from outside of a woman's shirt. When he contracted urinary tract infection, he unintentionally started wetting the bed. Both Angie and her father suspected that Max got it from sexual activity with Cristy, but it wasn't from that, it turn out his kidney tubes were too narrow and needed surgery to fix it. Also, later in the series, George, occasionally but vaguely, mocks Max because of his dyslexia even though he, himself, also has dyslexia.

Max is now 18 and in University, where the converation takes place
