  • Maximum Ride (Max): The leader of the flock, as well as the main character, she has taken it as her duty to help save the world.
  • Fang: Max's best friend and second-in-command in the flock, he gets a little too close to Brigid for Max's liking, though Max has no idea why this upsets her.
  • Iggy: Iggy is fourteen and the only blind member of the flock. He is often partnered up with Gazzy, which usually involves explosives, something these boys can't seem to get enough of.
  • Nudge: At eleven years old, Nudge is the talker of the flock. Max sometimes comments on how her nonstop conversations can be a bit annoying at times.
  • The Gasman (Gazzy): Known for his love of explossives and truly messed-up digestive system, Gazzy is the eight year old biological brother of Angel, who are the only members of the flock that are related.
  • Angel: Six years old with curly blonde hair, Angel is the baby of the flock. Though some find her somewhat creepy because of her many odd powers. The biological little sister of Gazzy.

  • Dr. Brigid Dwyer: Brigid, also known by Max's sarcastic name "Dr. Amazing," she is a twenty-one year old scientist whom the flock met while in Antarctica. She is described as pretty and blonde, and is often found, while in Antarctica, at least, flirting with Fang. Which made Max dislike her instantly.
  • Akila: The object of Total's affections, Akila is a pure bred white Malamute who is apart of the group of scientists in Anarctica.
