Max Steel (Seasons 1–2)

Max Steel (2013) is an animated action series from Disney XD you can watch online on iFILM, based on the Mattel toy line of the same name. Sixteen-year-old Max McGrath moves with his mom to Copper Canyon and soon discovers he generates Turbo energy — supposedly the most powerful force in the universe.

Harnessing it alone proves impossible. Enter Steel, an alien robot built by Max's late father, who bonds with him to keep the energy surges in check. Together they join the covert N-Tek organisation, now run by Max's uncle Ferrus, and take on the villainous Miles Dread and his Trans-Human Industries. It plays like standard kids' superhero fare, but the hidden-legacy hook gives it enough pull for older viewers too. Stream Max Steel online on iFILM.
