Spartan Training
Max-090 was born on January 23, 2511, on the Sol System planet Earth. Max-090 was "conscripted" (he was covertly kidnapped from his home and replaced with a clone that would die due to the imperfect cloning process, covering up the kidnapping) into the SPARTAN-II program at age six in 2517 when he was singled out as a physically and intellectually superior child by Doctor Catherine Halsey. He was trained with the other Spartans at Reach by Déjà and Chief Petty Officer Mendez. On his first day of Spartan training, Max was teamed up with the Spartans of Green Team led by Kurt-051. Their team often performed well during training, often exercising against fellow teams, and winning because of Kurt's superior "sixth sense". Max-090 participated in numerous missions with the Spartans from 2517 to 2525, including those in Emerald Cove, Chiron Test Station, Military Wilderness Training Preserve and the Highland Mountains.

For eight years Max learned history, military strategy, weapons and he received physical fitness training. At the age of fourteen, Max underwent the SPARTAN-II augmentation procedures. The procedures killed thirty and physically disabled a dozen of the Spartan trainees. Max-090 was one of thirty-three Spartans who survived the process unscathed, while the others were moved into positions in ONI.
