The local bully; Tony D. has been to juvenile court several times and he definitely carries a knife. Max suspects that he also has access to firearms. Max says that Tony D. even has sharpened teeth, though it’s possible that this is just a product of Max’s fear. Tony D. is a terrifying local figure and he has a gang of boys who assist him in causing mayhem. Tony D. and his gang torment Freak and Max on the Fourth of July, which results in the creation of the Freak the Mighty persona. Despite Max’s insistence that Tony D. is nothing but bad news, Tony does offer his condolences to Max after Freak dies, suggesting that there may be more to Tony than his tough exterior. Max, however, can’t deal with this possibility and so he makes sure that he and Tony remain enemies.
