Micromax (Scott Wright) is a fictional character, a mutant superhero of the Marvel universe. Micromax was created by Alan Davis and first appeared in Excalibur vol. 1 #44 (Dec 1991).

Prior to the discovery of his mutant abilities, Scott Wright was a disk jockey. With the discovery of his powers he became a special British government operative for M.I.6, a secret British national security unit, under the name Micromax.

He is first seen mistaking Rachel Summers for a burglar, and mistakenly trying to arrest her for robbery. He is later backup for a disastrous mission with his superior officer Brigadier Theobold Blott, several psychics and a team of F.I.6 'Mediators'. They are assigned to track down the perpetrator of the previous thefts and initially erroneously accuse Nightcrawler of sabotage. After that mishap, they are overpowered by a servant creature of Necrom, a powerful sorcerer. They later encounter Necrom himself, and Micromax is the only one to survive the mission, due to his shrinking abilities. He unsuccessfully attempts to kill Necrom. Necrom comes away with the impression Micromax has very little viable life force. Micromax is later mind-controlled by Brain Drain in an attempt to assassinate the British Prime Minister, but this is thwarted by Aurora. Micromax later helps Excalibur members Kylun and Feron battle Necrom, using his powers to grow to a massive size and crush Necrom, stunning him temporarily and allowing the other heroes to mount an offense.

Micromax participates in battling the threat from the politician Orpington Smythe. Smythe is using manipulation, torture and murder in an attempt to control all the governmental agencies that deal with super-powered happenings. Micromax is captured for Nigel Orpington-Smythe by the R.C.X. He is subjected to medical tests at the Cloud Nine facility. Excalibur and a mutiny from within Smythe's own ranks eventually end Smythe's threat.
