::''Kevin'': Sometimes.
Mack participated in the betting pool on [[Mr. DeMartino]]'s upcoming roller-hockey battle in "[[The Big House]]", but so did everyone else, including Daria, Jane and Jodie, so gambling is not likely one of his vices, if he has any. Fanfic writers have noted that writing an "evil Mack" story is nearly impossible, as there is so little in [[canon]] on which to hook it.

Line 93:
Debate has arisen on a number of occasion over the issue of why Mack dates Jodie (see [[Joma]]). Is it because they are among the very few black students at [[Lawndale High]], a situation implied several times in the series? Couldn't they find anyone else to date? This is the late 1990s in the series, after all. Worse, [[canon]] depicts their relationship as [[Joma|riddled with conflict and frustration]].
The first known fanfic to pair Mack up with another girl was "[[Boy Fiend]]" by [[Austin Covello]] in 1999, where he briefly dates Daria after a breakup with Jodie. In this case, it just takes being left alone for a bit with Jodie to get him to realise that he still loves her.
The few true-blue '[[shipper]]s left in ''Daria'' fandom have taken pains to hook Mack up with other characters in [[alternate-universe]] or [[post-canon]] tales. Picking Mack's "best possible" girlfriend is almost a cottage industry. Among those usually chosen as his new mate are [[Jane Lane]] (a popular one), [[Brittany Taylor]] (also popular, though she did irritate him in the series), and [[Daria Morgendorffer]] (a more difficult mix).▼

[[Shiva]]'s "[[Ethan Yeager in Lawndale]]" splits him and Jodie up as she's aware he's gay and in the closet,; she tells him she would become friends with him 'once he has figured himself out'.
In a twist on this, [[Ruthless Bunny]]'s "[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/932090/1/A_Change_in_Plans A Change in Plans]" has Jodie's parents believe ''Jodie'' belongs with someone else, viewing Mack as unsuitable because of his class and background.
