We don't even know if New Max has an Super Ego, it's possible though, in retrospect. But is it a second narrator, or those flaming max heads.
I think id is Maxzilla. Which fits the violent and animalistic nature of the id.
"So that's why I always feel an overbearing presence just out of my field of vision, watching and judging my every move."
"That's me, Max."
So that would mean that the Narrator was really trying to take control of Sam, and Max was really Sam's Id! Shit just got allegorical!
Shit has never been, nor will ever be more allegorical.
