Freak the Mighty Archaetypes

Before Freak met Max, he was just a crippled little boy without any real friends. Max was strong, and kind, but his size and unsocial behavior made him an outcast. Separated, they were losers, the bottom of the food chain. They didn't like themselves. They were both weak in a sense- even Max who was physically strong. But together, combined, they were "mighty". When Max hoists Freak up on his shoulder, they're at the top of the world. As two separate units, Freak and Max were not happy, but when they mesh, they find joy in each other. Freak and Max make each other strong. They need each other. They have such chemistry in their friendship, that they can ignore other's opinions. Finally, with each other, they are happy.
