It was during some of these link ups that Wanda's Box of Tricks and the Heroine buds were created, and Wanda was inspired to start her memorial stones after one with him and Komatsu.IPTSF Text 55

Real World References
Dr. Maxwell Cade was an English physicist in the 1970s who was doing psycho-biological research on meditation and the altered states of the consciousness. In addition to research, he codeveloped the "Mind Mirror", a portable EEG machine that could monitor the alpha, beta, delta and theta rhythms from each brain hemisphere simultaneously.
A simpler reference is to Maxwell Smart of the television series Get Smart, given the conceptual link between thinking (Thinkamancy) and being smart.
This may also be a reference to James Clerk Maxwell and his famous thought experiment, Maxwell's demon.
The Mad Max moniker and the look refers to the Mad Max movie franchise, in particular Mad Max 2.
