Miles Dread, or only Dread, is the archenemy of Max Steel. He was one of the co-founders of N-Tek, and the CEO of THI. He is a villain with similiar abilities when compared to Max Steel, since he is able to create his own Transformations. He is also a man thirsty for power, an evil genius, but very rude and agressive with his companies. Miles Dread debuts in Come Together Part One, and is voiced by Mark Oliver.

Origins

Miles Dread was one of the co-founders of N-Tek, alongside with Jim McGrath, Molly McGrath, and Commander Forge Ferrus. Together, they worked in projects to stop Makino, between them, the Turbo Star, and Morphos, who was later cancelled, since he was a way to powerful. However, during the test of the Turbo Star, Miles Dread used a device that could suck Jim McGrath's T.U.R.B.O Energy, but it ended up stuck on his chest, while Jim was sent to space, and Steel was shut down. Later, he became CEO of his company, named THI, and built a bio-android named Jason Naught, that was going to replace him, while Dread was hiding (which lead to N-Tek thinking that he also died), and waiting to attack.

Powers and Abilities

Powers

• T.U.R.B.O Energy Absorption:Miles can absorb endless amounts of T.U.R.B.O. Energy using his hands and the more energy he absorbs, the more powerful he gets. Originally he could absorb a limited amount of energy, but he later had himself upgraded so he could absorb Max's T.U.R.B.O Energy with no limits. He has stated that with his energy levels at peak capacity he is capable of fighting all of N-Tek forces for hours. He can turn red without even absorbing T.U.R.B.O Energy from anyone.
• T.U.R.B.O Energy Convertion: When he absorbs T.U.R.B.O Energy, he automatically transforms it into Negative T.U.R.B.O Energy

  • Superhuman Reflexes
  • Superhuman Speed: With his latest upgrade he can run, move and react as fast and even faster than Max in his Turbo Speed Mode.

Abilities

• Super-Genius class Intelligence: Quite apart from the powers granted him by the Negative T.U.R.B.O. Energy, Miles Dread is far more than a mechanical engineering prodigy.

He is one of the co-founders of N-Tek, and a real genius He alone created a device to helps to absorb the T.U.R.B.O Energy, his Dredd Naughts, the bio-Android Jason Naught, and a wide ray of evil state of the art devices.

Energy to destroy his missiles, which ended in Max destroying N-Tek Transmitters leaving earth unprotected before the Ultralinks Invasion. Another sxample of his ability to manipulate situations can be seen when he tricked the Ultralinks so they would attack N-Tek's Copper Canyon base during their system upgrade in which they would be vulnerable due to their defense systems being down, but in actuallity they were fully prepare for any attack at the moment and used the Ultralinks' attack as a decoy to help Extroyer escape from his prison and retrieve intel about the Turbo Star from Forge's computer. He uses a similar strategy when giving them fake informaton about a tachion missile in an underwater base near the first piece of the Turbo Star, using the attack to cover his presence.
