What headcanons do you have for the main 4 in max headroom 20 minutes into the future? :)
HELLO HI OHMYGOSH OKAY sorry if this list isnt that expansive!! i cant think of all of mine, might update later djsjsjsjs-
My headcannons for 20 Minutes into the Future (below cut!!)
Max!!
Asexual, but I think he'd also be on the aromantic spectrum too?
Only knows a lot of things because of Edison's memory, and acts like he's a hot-shot know-it-all because of it. Mans has never played golf a DAY in his life.
I completely agree with the headcanmon that he blows tv fuses when he gets mad, but I think if he were to sleep, his background would only show up as a kind of "screensaver." Y'know?
Has a toothgap due to Edison's accident. He doesn't mind it, personally! :3
Cannot physically age unless he chooses to. I stress this because of the Channel 4 Digital Switchover commercial, in which Max is shown to be aged. I, for one, A.) Do not count that as canon, and B.) Don't believe Max can age physically. Though, yes, he is old in our world.
Hates his stutter. Tries not to show that he's insecure (macho, masculine, 80s persona type shit,) but in reality he can't help it and genuinely despises how he talks.
If!! If ever given a body (Bryce prolly built it), he would be taller than Edison. Max would be ECSTATIC.
Doesn't listen to a lot of music, normally. He might put on like, pop or disco sometimes, but its not like he gets too much into it.
AuDHD
Edison !!
I think he'd have a secret soft spot for country. Like, country or jazz, y'know?
Closet Bi. C'monnnnnn, you can't tell me that man isn't the biggest repressed bicon ever.
Doesn't have a tooth gap, unlike Max, but does have a scar from the accident. Doesn't like to talk about it.
Isn't mad at Bryce for the accident, he knows Bryce didn't mean any real harm.
Iced coffee bitch. Embarrased about it.
I think he had a normal childhood,, he feels like he did. Maybe some elements of religious trauma, coming from the related episode,,, Something something,,, Vanna Smith's relationship with Edison is meant to represent his past beliefs and how they still have a grip on him,,,, something something their one night stand was a metaphor for reliving your trauma and coming out of it changed/with a new lens,,,, something something,,,,
,,,I have mixed feelings about him and Theora,,,,
One one hand, yeah! Cool! They have good chemistry, and they have their motives to be in a relationship!
On the other hand, it would do Theora's character a misjustice to simply make her get into a relationship with Edison just cus,,,, i dunno,,,
Edison would HATE that Max would be taller than him. Matt Frewer/Edison is already a tall dude, but,,,, make Max 7'6 you cowards. /hj
Always breaks his vidicams, hides them from Murray and Cheviot but knows they'll eventually find out. Time out for Mr. Digital Sherlock >:P
Hangs out with Blank Reg when he's not covering stories, I think Eddy and the Big Time Television crew would have a great friendship!!
Do not call him Eddy.
Theora!!
Also Bi, but leans towards women :) Maybe like, Biromantic Asexual?
Her and Edison do hang out, like, outside of work, but the thought of "romance in the workplace" icks her out (valid, honestly.)
Sometimes plays into Max's antics, I think they'd have a great dynamic (shame it wasn't explored more.)
Completely meant to slap Murray in "Security Systems." No, she didn't need to sell the bit. No, she didn't need to warn him. Fuck Murray. All my homies hate Murray 😤
I see her liking glam rock,,, or like, some kind of rock (70s and 80s, ofc). She's giving me like, Sweet or The Ramones kinda vibes,,,
I think her childhood was a bit rough, but thata just vibes. We never get specifics, I think, but maybe I'll write a fanfic someday and explore it. (do y'all want Max Headroom fics I'll fuckin DELIVER.)
(( she is so fuckin pretty oh my godddd :O ))
Bryce !!
Aromantic. Not to fall into the trope that like "haha, smart character aro/ace!!" but, seriously. Do you think he wants anything to do with that? Nah, science #1, and y'know? Thats valid, you funky little dude.
Funky Little Dude™️
More of a gremlin than the show lets on. I know if he were around modern-day, dude would be slamming back monsters and talking about The Fog and The Rot.
Troubled childhood. Sent off to a tech school at an early age, didn't grow up woth his family around, or many friends. It's canon, what the f u c k.
iPad baby. Enough said.
Feels guilty about Edison's accident.
Literally says that he "felt fear for the first time" when he was /freezing to death./
Bryce???? Do you need a therapist??? Buddy?????
The only adults in his life want to use his genius to get more ratings. Bryce is but a toy to them. I need to psychoanalyze him. Puts him in a salad spinner.
On a lighter note!! Listens to classical music unironically!! Weirdo!! /pos
You literally can't tell me he isn't autistic. As someone on the spectrum, I bestow him this headcanon. Can't read social queues, doesn't understand figures of speech, flat tone of voice, ect. He's on the spectrum 😤

Max Headroom is Acespec
a theory by Me! (An asexual person)
Tl;dr: Max understands what sexual attraction is (thanks to Edison's memories), and understands the power it has. It's a part of his brand and image, but isn't something he concerns himself with. Mans is more concerned with taking down corrupt business practices and entertainment than doing the horizontal hokey-pokey, ya nasty.
hi Max Moots! sorry i've been gone for a while (also, sorry for missing Max's broadcast day), but I hope this makes up for it. This is a theory i've been microwaving in my head for a while.
without further ado:
Max Headroom is Acespec, and there is much evidence pointing to it. He will use sex for his image, and to get what he wants, but he does not feel sexual attraction.
to start this, i need to stress the difference between an electromorph (in the Max Headroom franchise/universe) and an artificial intelligence. They are different things.
An Electromorph:
○can be defined as: "A unique intelligence existing in a cyberspace capable of communicating through audio/visual means; can feel and express humanistic desires and emotions, as well as form own opinions on knowledge and media." (personal definition, helped from "Whackets" (S2E5, 1987 series)
○has the capability of being SMARTER than the people that programmed it, able to learn and gather information on its own without being fed it.
○can feel human emotions and experiences. they can express emotions (e.g happiness, sadness, arousal, anger, ect.) and feel things like pain, sexual climax, and succumb to addiction. ("Whackets", as well as "Security Systems," (S1E4)
An Artificial Intelligence:
○Is defined as: "the theory and development of computer systems able to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision-making, and translation between languages." (Oxford)
○cannot feel human emotions/experiences (can SIMULATE them, i.e: chatbots and the like, but cannot FEEL them.)
○Only as smart as the information it is fed/trained on (i.e, what programs it.)
Max has memories of Edison Carter (his human counterpart) engaging in sexual intercourse, and therefore knows what sex is (to an extent, will be touched on later.) This theory, however, is crafted to bring forth the theory that not only is Max asexual, but uses it for his image and brand.
Headroom, in himself, is meant to be an electromorphic intelligence made by Network 23 executives to both drive up ratings and be controlled for media purposes. His personality was molded by being exposed to every television channel on-air (at the time) at once, causing him to take on the persona of a gaudy TV host. On the surface, Max is a cheery, fun-loving guy with a passion for golf and hosting. Underneath that, however, is a greedy, borderline-conservative, angry personality who yells at staff and producers and is only obsessed with his image. A LITERAL "talking head," if you will.
His hyper-masculinization, you'd believe, would make him attracted to sex, right? Well, there is much evidence to prove that incorrect.
The episode "Security Systems" (S1E4 of the 1987 series), Max assists Carter with gaining insider information into the background plans of a corrupt security company by seducing another electromorph, A-7, into giving him/Carter information. It is heavily implied from the interaction that not only can electromorphs feel sexual arousal and stimulation, but HAVE a form of sex.
A-7 gives Max this information after being seduced, with the security system herself being FULLY into it, moaning and making sexual comments, letting Headroom melt her servos just enough to let her walls down. She asks "Why have you penetrated my system?" Then: "Will you go deeper?" The writers obviously knew what they were doing, with another line having her excitedly gasping and remarking: "I've never been accessed like this before!"
Max responds to the afformentioned line with "I'll be gentle." He winks after, sporting his usual sardonic front. Max, unlike A-7, is getting nothing out of this. He is shown to be a very expressive individual, so if he were getting any kind of sexual gratification from this experience, he'd be FULL-ON doing something.
This points to Max using sexual intercourse and gratification for his image, but this isn't all there is pointing to this.
In his book, "Max Headroom's Guide to Life," the section: "Your Body: Be Grateful You Have One!" talks about sex. Max, in this section, tells a very sarcastic description of how sex works. He doesn't sugar-coat it, he doesn't say how passionate it is, or remark about how good it feels. He states, rather cynically: "If you put a man rabbit, with his... dingely-doo - into a cage with a lady rabbit, who hasn't got a... winkle-woggle... then...then...you get hundereds of them all over the place!! OK, is that clear? Fine, fine, no problems then - fine!" (Hansen, Owen, 51)***
If Max were to lean into this persona he's built up: hyper-masculine and lady-loving, you'd expect him to go into detail about how great sex is, no? Instead, he uses childish, sarcastic language.
Max understands sex, and he understands that people use it to get things. Electromorphs can FEEL sexual climax, as per the mention of A-7, but Max does not seem to care all that much. He uses it to get what he wants, and expresses cynical feelings regarding it as a whole.
In conclusion, Max Headroom is asexual.
***Just a page before, Max said gay rights, which I think is really sweet.

hi tumblr, im cringe and im free. here's Edison Carter and Max Headroom as a hippogryff/seapony duo >:)
their names are Typewright (Edison) and Typecast (Max) !! i thought making them a hippogryph/seapony combo would work for the show's universe? like, on land they're Typewright (Edison): a reporter taking down unethical businesses in Equestria (flim and flam better watch out 👀). In the sea, they become Typecast (Max): a host persona ready to make witty quips and spread news stories (and advertisements).
anywho. if you're reading this, i love you :) drink some water today !!

Working on a Max is acespec theory, hope to post soon. Surprisingly, there's good evidence pointing to it (that I've found), and there might be more I haven't!
If anyone (*cough* my 3-ish Max moots) has any evidence for or against it, let me know, please! I'd be happy to add.
Cringe is dead and I am free <3
