A "made man" refers to a fully initiated member of the Mafia, particularly in the Italian-American organized crime context. To become a made man, one must typically be of Italian descent, undergo a formal induction ceremony, and have sponsors vouch for their reliability and abilities. This status grants them certain protections and privileges within the Mafia, distinguishing them from associates who have not been formally inducted. The term gained cultural prominence through films like "Goodfellas," which explore the complexities and exclusivity of Mafia membership.

Something that is likely to become
The phrase "in the making" refers to something that is likely to become or is in the process of becoming a particular thing. For example, you might say, "She's a star in the making," meaning she is on her way to becoming a star. It can also imply that something is developing or evolving, such as "a disaster in the making," indicating that a disaster is likely to occur if things continue as they are.
