Line 12:
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," being overdrawn on his allowance since 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 only other vaguely negative aspect of his character is a tendency to be cynical when referring to the school, Ms. Li's policies, and some of his classmates. "I'm the only one on the team who can count by halves," he tells Ms. Li in "Fizz Ed." His sarcasm is completely missed by most of those listening to him, particularly Kevin Thompson. From "[[I Don't]]":
 
':''Mack''': When you hear yourself talk, does it make sense to you?
':''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, so gambling is not likely one of his few 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.
 
The series generally portrays Mack's and Jodie's relationship in a positive light, though Jodie often places a higher priority on her own commitments than on the relationship. 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."
