Mack Mackenzie

Full name: Michael Jordan Mackenzie. "Mack" to everyone except Kevin Thompson, who calls him "Mack Daddy", to Mack's eternal annoyance. African-American classmate of Daria Morgendorffer and Jane Lane, at Lawndale High. Mack's girlfriend is Jodie Landon.

Fanfic Stereotypes

Mack is in a curious position in the pantheon of Daria characters in that he seems to be without fault, or at least lacking major drawbacks as a male in a female-dominated story universe. In Is It Fall Yet?, Jodie bemoans Mack's cash-flow issues, but that appears to be the extent of his flaws. This characterization is sometimes referred to as "Saint Mack." One extreme example of a "Saint Mack" is "The Thirteenth Man," by The Angst Guy.
