			== Coalescence ==
			Is the Beta Maxx depicted in ''[[Coalescence]]'' supposed to be the same Beta Maxx from RID (specifically [[Viron 704.31 Epsilon]]), or is he a native of the Shatteredverse? Reading the story itself, it seems more like the latter since his history is tied to the Shattered Glass [[Underbase]], which I'm not sure can be worked into the history of the RID Beta Maxx. I'm not sure if this warrants a "Beta Maxx (SG)" page or just a note suggesting that isn't clear whether they're supposed to be the same dude.

S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47: S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 moved page Talk:Beta Maxx to Talk:Beta Maxx (RID): Disambiguate for Viron Beta Maxx and Aurex Beta Maxx.
