Michael Jordan Mackenzie is "Mack" to everyone except [[Kevin Thompson]], who calls him "Mack Daddy," to Mack's eternal annoyance. An African-American classmate of [[Daria Morgendorffer]] and [[Jane Lane]], Mack attends school at [[Lawndale High]] with his girlfriend, [[Jodie Landon]], and is the captain of the [[Lawndale Lions]] football team.
We know little about Mack's family, though in "[[The Misery Chick]]" he reveals his name was originally "Michael James Mackenzie, but Dad went to a Bulls playoff game when I was twelve and then he changed it."▼
==General Notes on the Character==
Mack is the only recurring male character of Daria and Jane's age at Lawndale High who acts with intelligence and integrity and as such enjoys their respect. Ironically, in an interview with [[Kara Wild]], one of the driving forces behind the show stated that this was because he was never developed fully because they never cast him to their satisfaction. Because he wasn't fully developed, we never saw his flaws.
▲We know little about Mack's family, though in "[[The Misery Chick]]" he reveals his name was originally "Michael James Mackenzie, but Dad went to a Bulls playoff game when I was twelve and then he changed it." Jodie in [[Partner's Complaint]] describes him as being "bad with money," still owing his father some money from third grade. (Mack finally pays his father back during [[Is It Fall Yet?]], and also has enough money from his summer job to take Jodie to [[Chez Pierre]] "once.")
The series generally portrays Mack's and Jodie's relationship in a positive light. The implication in [[My Night at Daria's]] is that the couple is sexually active. Jodie promises to tell Daria all about it "once my parents are dead."
Mack is clearly and specifically portrayed as in a lower socio-economic class than Jodie, though the details are not known. (Being in a lower socio-economic class than Jodie Landon is not difficult.)
