Kirby debuted in Come Together Part One and is voiced by Richard Ian Cox.

History

Season 1

Come Together Part One

After Max accidentally stumbled up on Sydney Gardner, Kirby introduced himself and befriended Max.

Later on, he appeared being tormented by Butch and his sidekicks, until Max arrived and helped him.

Come Together Part Two

Kirby sees Max and thanks him for saving him from Butch and his sidekicks and invites him to hang out sometime. He asks for Max's number, which makes him remember that he had accidentally switched phones with Sydney. Kirby jokes about Max's pink phone, yet he is too distracted, leaving Kirby confused.

Come Together Part Three

Kirby was hanging out with Sydney while Dread executed his master plan. He was captured by one of THI's energy tendrils, but he was eventually released after Miles was taken down.

Cleaning House

Max invited Kirby and Sydney to take a tour on the THI building with his mother, Molly McGrath. Max and his friends arrived shortly after Tytus Octavius Xander was fired from his job and Kirby recorded him grumbling. While walking in THI's hallways, Kirby said that Molly had the coolest job in the world.

Appearance

Kirby is a tall, slender teenager. He has brown shoulder-length hair, dark brown eyes and wears a dark green cap. He wears a long-sleeved black shirt with a white t-shirt with a brown lozenge pattern, dark green jeans and brown shoes.

In Ultralink Invasion Part One, Kirby appeared using aluminum clothes. The suit has an antenna on his left shoulder and Saturn on the right shoulder.

Personality

Kirby is described by the official website as laid-back, big-hearted, friendly and sort of a goofball and after looking out for Max when he was the new kid in school, he started to see himself as a protector of the clueless. As seen in Ultralink Invasion Part One, Kirby likes to wear clothing made out of aluminum, stating that the aliens would try to abduct him with his their tractor beams and by using it he would be safe, which points out Kirby's interest towards sci-fi movies and his imaginative side.

Relationships

Maxwell McGrath
