Maxie (Japanese: マツブサ Matsubusa) is the head of Team Magma.
In the anime
Maxie appeared in two episodes of the Pokémon anime. His Japanese voice actor is 藤原啓治 Keiji Fujiwara and his English voice actor is Marc Thompson. In the Latin-American Spanish dub, he's voiced by Jorge Ornelas.
Maxie appeared in Gaining Groudon and The Scuffle of Legends.
Maxie's goal was to expand the land of Hoenn believing that if so, the land would be peaceful. But at the end of The Scuffle of Legends, Maxie realizes the errors of his ways and finally changes his beliefs, now believing that the land of Hoenn is supposed to be kept as is.
In the games
In Pokémon Ruby, Maxie leads Team Magma in awakening Groudon to expand the land masses of the world; in Pokémon Sapphire, he opposes Archie, who is trying to awaken Kyogre to expand the world's seas.
In Pokémon Emerald, he is the evil Team Magma dictator who wants to awaken Groudon and control it to destroy Team Aqua and expand the land masses of the world. His first plan was to steal a Meteorite from Professor Cozmo and use it to power a machine located at Mt. Chimney. This machine would then cause the volcano to erupt and further his dream to expand the landmass.

In the Pokémon Special manga
Maxie does not have any fixed headquarters and moves his locations from cave to cave across Hoenn. He rules Team Magma like a barbarian gang but he makes them more elusive; because of this, Team Magma was able to steal the Scanner from the Abandoned Ship and both Red Orb and Blue Orb. However, the latter was stolen by Amber's Volbeat for Archie.
After Rayquaza halted the fight between Groudon and Kyogre, Maxie and Archie went insane and attempted to destroy everyone who had interfered in their plan: the Elite 4, the Gym Leaders, the Regis, even their own members. It was Maxie's Houndoom that burned Norman with its flames.

In the TCG
With Team Magma playing a large role in the EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua set, it's no surprise Maxie has his own card in that set.
