Max’s dad a.k.a “killer” Kane
In "Freak the Mighty," Max and his dad leave the apartment because Max's dad, who has a troubled past, is released from prison and wants to take Max with him. Max feels unsafe and uncomfortable with the idea of living with his father, who has shown violent tendencies in the past. This decision is fueled by Max's desire to escape a potentially dangerous situation and find safety, ultimately leading him to seek refuge with his friend Kevin (Freak) and his mother.
In chapter 19 of Freak the Mighty, Loretta Lee comes down into the "black down under", to untie and save Max from his dad, Killer Kane, who Iggy Lee, Loretta's husband, is distracting. Then Killer Kane comes back and starts strangling Loretta for trying to save Max.
Max's punishment is his dad going to jail for a second time and this time for life.
