Max Steel

The first episode. Rachel Leeds, the agent Max Steel has been partnered with, is among a group of people kidnapped at a peace conference at the Reichstag in Berlin. The kidnapper quickly turns out to be L'Etranger, or ""The Stranger."" Max saves them, just in time for his public identity, Josh McGrath, to pick up his girlfriend, Laura Chen. A glimpse of surprises, and enemies, to come.

Josh is having nightmares about the time when he first learned of N-Tek's real mission, and became Max Steel. Then, on a mission to Paris to investigate the cause of numerous city-wide blackouts, Max begins to faint at odd times, coincidentally at the same time as the outages happen. Each time, he has a short flashback about his first meeting and fight with Psycho, and the events following it. By the end, Max has come to terms once more with that clip of his past, and helps to defeat Psycho and save Paris.
