Shadows

Max is having nightmares involving Psycho while on a mission to Paris, France. Someone is managing to wipe out all the power in a certain area of the city for short periods of time, and it's affecting Max Steel too, knocking him unconscious. While asleep, Max dreams of how he discovered his father's company, N-TEK, a sports equipment company, is really an anti-terrorist organization. We also see how Josh McGrath followed Psycho into one of N-TEK's secret laboratories, where Dread's goons took out guards and stole some nanotechnology called "Max-probes". Psycho then breaks the container holding the probes, sending them all at Josh, who absorbs the probes. His father and the others think he'll die, but then Berto comes along and says he needs Transphasik Energy to survive. It works, and shortly after, Josh decides to officially join the real N-TEK as Max Steel.

Back in the land of the conscious, Max and Rachel, his "keeper" and top N-TEK agent, realize that Psycho is responsible for the blackouts in the city, using an electromagnetic pulse (EMP). They chase him to the Eiffel Tower (under which is one of N-TEK's headquarters), and Max and Psycho fight. Max manages to nab the EMP and drops it from the top of the tower. It explodes before Psycho can retrieve it. Max/Josh is no longer afraid of him, and is happy he has his Max powers.
