maniac's

Belonging to fanatic

Maniac's is the possessive form of maniac, a person who behaves wildly or obsessively.

A maniac originally meant someone suffering from mania—a mental state of frenzied excitement—but now usually describes anyone acting with reckless intensity: a maniac's grin, the maniac's obsession with cleanliness.

The word often appears hyperbolically: He drives like a maniac.
