Introduction Saga
In the anime, Lightning max arrives at A-City with Smile Man to fight Vaccine Man, but is utterly defeated.

Sea Monster Arc
He is seen observing Stinger's defeat at the hands of the Sea King through a telescope and decides to go and fight the Sea King himself until reinforcements arrive. But before he can even act, the Sea King appears behind him in an instant smiling menacingly. This naturally freaks out Lightning Max and he quickly attacks the king with his Lightning Kick, but it has no effect on him and the Sea King casually remarks that it hurt. Lightning Max realizing he can't win tries to think of a way to escape, but before he can move he's punched with full force by the Sea King who sends him flying into the building across from them. The building begins crumbling down and Max tries to escape but is confronted once again by Sea King. In a desperate effort, Max unleashes his Flying Reverse Roundhouse Kick, but once again it has no effect on Sea King and he knocks out Max with a punch to the nose and sends him flying once again into the streets below where the building threatens to crush him. Luckily he is caught by the S-Class Hero Pri-Pri-Prisoner before the crumbling building crushed him. Sometime after the event, he received a promotion to rank 19.
