Max Steel (2000)

Max Steel is a 2000 - 2002 Canadian/American animated television series produced by Columbia TriStar television and originally airing on Kids WB (and later, Cartoon Network). It is based on the line of action figures developed and produced by Mattel.

Like the toy characters that inspired it, Max Steel draws heavily from the popular James Bond series of films, but with content appropriate for young children. The main character is a 19-year old named Josh McGrath (voiced by Christian Campbell), an extreme sports expert and rising star who becomes infused with microscopic nanomachines known as "Max Probes" and becomes a superhero. As "Max Steel," Josh works with his adopted father, Jefferson Smith (voiced by Chi McBride), a manufacturer of extreme sports equipment whose factory is also a front for a top-secret, high-tech counter-intelligence agency. Together, they face threats from the evil spy organization known as DREAD, as well as other villains and monsters.

Best Friend (Season 2, Episode 11)
When Josh meets a new friend, Garrett Stevens, it turns out Garrett is not who he seems to be. He has been brainwashed to kill Dr Mark Montgomery.
