History

Max Dillon was an electrical repairman and a friend of Dr. Curt Connors. Max Dillon is electrocuted in a freak accident after his power drill falls onto a damaged computer console, when he tries to pick it up, the resulting electrical shock sends him flying against a specialized tank holding genetically engineered electric eels, becoming exposed to the substance inside.

Dillon survived but his body was mutated into a living electrical capacitate. Dillon is then forced to wear an insulated body suit to contain the bio-electricity being produced in order to protect others around him, especially his face which had transformed into a electrical field.

Spider-Man first encounter does not go well and he taunts Dillon without knowing who he really is. Max goes into a berserker rage and takes up the name "Electro" after Spider-Man called him that on their first encounter. Electro then travels to the ESU Labs to force Doc Connors to find a cure.

He is interrupted by Spider-Man again and the pair fight Spider-Man eventually defeats Electro by tossing him into a swimming pool which short-circuits him, leaving him unconscious.

Electro is then committed to the Ravencroft Institute were he is treated by Dr. Ashley Kafka. Electro befriends Dr. Octopus who offers him help.

Electro is then recruited into the Sinister Six by Dr. Octopus. He is present for each attack against Spider-Man, and of course there for every defeat.

The last time he is seen, he is in the same type of room as Colonel Jupiter, and obviously completely insane.

Attributes

Powers

Notes

• Although Max continued to hope for a cure, he eventually started calling himself Electro rather than Max. Greg Weisman has said this was because he was attempting to keep the identities separate in his own mind.
• Electro appears In The Spectacular Spider-Man (voiced by Crispin Freeman), first appearing in the second episode "Interactions".
