Unbeknownst to Max a techno-organic extraterrestrial named Steel has been keeping an eye on him. When they meet, they find they can combine to form Max Steel, a superhero. They soon find themselves hunted by sinister forces who want to control Max’s powers, as well as by an enemy from another galaxy.
