Axel Chains, usually referred to as Axel, is the drummer and supporting character in Your Favorite Martian.

Appearance

Axel has scruffy, dark brown hair that vaguely resembles a mullet and covers his eyes. He wears a dark gray shirt with a skull on it, black jeans that are cuffed at the bottom, and dark brown shoes. He wears wristbands in a similar brown color and often carries around his drumsticks. He has a tooth missing and is 6'2", making him the tallest in the band.

Personality

Axel is loud and pervasive, which is most notably seen in YFMTS #6 and #4. He is also characterized as being quite stupid, as shown in YFMTS #2 where he is proposing outlandish ideas to kill off their new band member. While perverted, he is also quite childish, as he has a habit of using the word "has" incorrectly and says "I want my mom!" in YFMTS #7 after getting chicken pox.

Relationships

Puff - Axel has a regular relationship with Puff and views him as a friend. Although, in YFMTS #1, he calls him a douche.

Benatar - Axel openly insults Benatar, as seen in YFMTS #2. Although this could just be seen as playful banter, Benatar doesn't seem to think so, judging by his reaction. However, Benatar is seen playing Axel's guitar in many music videos, which has led to fan speculation.

DeeJay - DeeJay is a friend to Axel, and they are shown as being quite close to one another. This is shown in YFMTS #7, where he says "Hold me DeeJay! I'm scared!" and clings onto him.

Trivia

• Axel plays his Hi-Hat cymbal with his left hand almost always (when playing the drums you play the Hi-Hat with your dominant hand), so Axel may be left-handed.
• Axel is the only member to not appear in Tig Ol' Bitties, which has led to many fan speculations.
• He owns an electric guitar as seen in YFMTS #4, but Benatar is the only person seen using it.
• Axel is the only member to not have his own solo song, as Benatar has Jupiter, DeeJay has Transphobic Techno, and Puff has most of the older songs.
• The animation shows him drumming almost completely incorrectly in certain songs such as "ROAD RAGE."
• His Hi-Hat cymbal has no pedal.
• He has a pet hawk named Vincent, although DeeJay calls it a pigeon.
• His drumsticks have his name on them.
• Axel has never been audibly heard in songs, though he is frequently heard in YFMTS
