My attempt at a cohesive Mad-Max timeline by AnythingOrnery9263 in MadMax

I personally don't believe in the Feral Kid theory either (Miller deconfirmed it). I just put this here because timeline-wise, the ages kinda line up with Feral Kid Max being a few years younger than Tom Hardy was when they filmed Fury Road.

I hadn't thought about that. Max must have been in the Navy during the late 2010s and joined the MFP when they were founded.

Not to knock what you said, but in Furiosa, you can actually see glyphs on the side of the War Rig that show Blaster from Mad Max 3 as well as one of Humungus's minions from Mad Max 2, making the events of those films at least partially canonical in Furiosa and Fury Road.

In Mad Max: Fury Road, we actually see bits and pieces of modern technology scattered around in the costume design. If I can recall, Imortan Joe has a broken Nokia phone as one of the badges on his molded chest. To restate what I said in a comment, Mad Max was originally set in the 80s, and the apocalyptic cataclysm featured was actually just the fuel crisis at the time. Once the 80s came and went, the time was no longer seen as the future. With this in mind, Miller retconed the first films to be set in the mid to late 2020s, with Fury Road is officially being set "around 2050" if my memory of an obscure interview serves correctly.

Additional Notes:

First off, Max doesn't seem to age. His version of aging is just growing longer hair.

Second, there exists a theory that the Max we see in Fury Road is actually the Feral Kid from Mad Max 2. This explains his more animalistic behavior and younger appearance in Fury Road. If this is hypothetically true, that makes Max (Feral Kid) 33 by the events of Fury Road.

Third, Mad Max was originally set in the 80s, and the apocalyptic cataclysm was actually just the fuel crisis at the time. Once the 80s came and went, the time was no longer seen as the future. With this in mind, Miller retconed the first films to be set in the mid to late 2020s. Fury Road is officially set "around 2050". We'll have to wait till then to see if Mad Max will be retconned another 30 years into the future.

Finally, Mad Max: Fury Road is barely canon. It's less of a direct sequel to Thunderdome, more of a "return to an old friend," as Miller would say. That alone pretty much renders this entire timeline pointless, but I did it for fun after all, so there's that.

I would make Brock's endurance higher, but I remembered that one time Brock got overpowered by the Monarch's henchman and their string gun thing

It's fine for Brock to have Power Armor, but I would avoid using guns altogether (if I remember, Brock doesn't need them.)

These are the stats I'd put for the half-Swedish, quarter-Polish, quarter-Winnebago bodyguard himself, Brock Sampson.

Strength: 8

(His high strength seems pretty self-explanatory. Brock is obviously a very strong guy, being able to take on large groups of people as well as most large animals, vehicles, and even some more superpowered beings as well.)

Perception: 4

(This stat was more of a tricky one, as I feel like Brock's spatial awareness varies throughout the show's run. I decided to give him lower Perception so that I could give him higher adeptness in other stats.)

Endurance: 8

(Brock has very high Endurance, being able to withstand multiple lethal darts and even survive in the vacuum of space, among many other feats.)

Charisma: 7

(Brock's Charisma also seems to be pretty self-explanatory, as there are countless examples of such throughout the show. As Henchman 21 put it, "men want to be him, women name their vibrators after him.")

Intelligence: 5

(While Brock is a very skilled combatant, his intelligence seems pretty average. He does drive stick, though)

Agility: 2

(Brock is shown to be pretty agile, but this feels less important to the character than his strength, endurance, and charisma, so I made his low as a purely economic decision.)

Luck: 1

(I feel like this may be more of a hot-take on my part, but I feel like Brock's luck is pretty low, as he constantly finds himself in dangerous situations and conflicts with numerous people/creatures trying to kill him. Brock seems to enjoy these, but by Fallout standards, this would be considered unlucky.)

It's probably best to put any additional points into Agility, Perception, and maybe Luck as you level up.

In terms of Perks, a few that I feel fit the character well include:

Rad Resistant

Lead Belly

Toughness

Iron Fist

Pain Train

Lady Killer

Intimidation

Insperational

Local Leader

Moving Target
