Who is the Candidate?
Maxeeno Manervolkan is the titular main protagonist of Wildman Maxeeno.
What Makes Him a Shonen Hero?
Heroic/Honorable: Maxeeno has nursed an injured puppy to health and saves Radite from being killed by Principal Strickweb.
Courageous/Reckless: Maxeeno doesn't hesitate to risk his life to save his friends.
Energetic: Maxeeno is rather hyperactive, even for a 12-year-old, and likes to go on exciting adventures.
Stubborn: Despite of what others tell him of what he can't do, Maxeeno remains persistent regardless.
Pursues a Big-End Goal: Maxeeno wants to be a Wildman to live an adventurous life without regrets.
Unintelligent: Though he is very street-smart and has plenty of common sense due to growing up in the hood, Maxeeno has plenty of moments of being goofy and scatterbrained. He is also fairly book-dumb, given that he is a C-student.
Hard-Working: Unlike Radite, who is a highly skilled martial artist, Maxeeno relies on his street-fighting style and sense of willpower to fight his opponents as well as having to train his abilities to compete with his rival.
Optimistic: Regardless of his hardships and the trauma he endured in his past, Maxeeno looks at the positives in his life and manages to keep moving forward.
Believes in the Power of Friendship: Maxeeno gains his strength from how much he values his friends and is willing to risk his life to protect them.
Possesses Plot Armor: Maxeeno manages to get back up after being pierced through his chest by Principal Strickweb.
Oblivious to Love: While Maxeeno has a crush on Kanupa, he is unaware of her feelings for him due to her never expressing them to him.
Spiky Hair: Maxeeno has a spiky and fairly curly afro.
Has a Rival: Maxeeno has a rivalry with his best friend Radite Casanova.
Short-Tempered: While he isn't as quick to anger as Radite, Maxeeno can be wrathful and violent at times, especially when someone threatens or hurts those he cares about.
Mischievous: Maxeeno has a tendency to pull pranks and come up with troublesome schemes for fun.
Rebellious: Maxeeno breaks school rules on a daily basis and frequently gets into trouble with authority figures.
Verdict?
I say yes. Maxeeno has saved an injured puppy and saves his best friend from getting killed by their principal.
By the way, I created the comic.
