Fun fact: since his origin makes no sense, it was later retconned, that unbeknownst to everyone, including Electro himself his powers were actually latent mutant abilities that were only awakened by the electrical accident (because of the powers being electricity based.) This is also how he didn't die during said accident.

[@arashi1574]

I mean that's more of a reveal than a retcon. But that makes so much more sense tho

@M V no, he is underrated. The most people have seen him in action is in the amazing spider man 2 movie. And that had not so great writing for the character. Before then the best we got was the animated series electro i.e. Spectacular Spider-Man, the original spiderman animated series etc He's not really a fan favorite villain, unless he actually is and I've been living under a rock, then that would be shocking.

[@pwpresents5660]

Electro is one of those Spider-Man villains that marvel has heavily underutilized in the comics. I may not like the version of electro we got in the Amazing Spider-Man movie, but the powers he displayed were closer to the potential this villain has and is why I believe he is one of the heroes deadliest foes.

[@MazeDaGr8]

I must say, I much rather prefer Electro's comic suit as opposed to that discount Dr. Manhattan look they gave him in TASM 2

[@Sycholoco_27]

I think his spectacular Spider-Man look was the best

[@jayctb5034]

It wasn’t bad plus him falling in with the eels and making him look like an eel was cool

[@Venom-rr1vg]

I thought electro's design in TASM 2 looked more menacing and evil, especially them eyes. And the neurons glowing in his head made him look powerful, but i respect your opinion

[@--CHARLIE--]

@@andick00 lazers are light, not electricity

[@Kyran1996]

Lightning Lad from DC was originally white, but was retconned to be black in recent years. I don't usually mind those kinds of retcons because I'm all for modernizing characters that were created in the '40s or '60s (which were ridiculously white for obvious reasons), but find it hilarious that they picked Lightning Lad of all characters to do this with. They could've gone with, say, Saturn Girl or Matter-Eater Lad or anyone else. Or just made Lightning Lad another race or ethnicity. I mean, not everything's black and white. Literally. The guy who introduced that iteration of the Legion of Super-Heroes also created Miles Morales, incidentally, who has bioelectricity powers and is heavily inspired by Static (he's even named after the Milestone imprint that published Static Shock). I think the most commonly accepted reasoning for the prevalence of black comic book characters with electrical powers is that Storm was very successful (even though her power wasn't electrokinesis, but weather manipulation, which included lightning) and everyone wanted to capitalize on that fame by replicating the general aesthetic. Likewise with Black Lightning, whose power may have been a coincidence, but the ones who followed surely weren't. It's the same reason there were so many skateboarding black superheroes in the '80s and '90s (which Dwayne McDuffie, who happened to create Static and Night Thrasher (examples of both tropes), wrote a very critical essay about). Anyway, to give another example of a white electric superhero, there is Cole MacGrath from the first two inFAMOUS games (not a comic book character, I guess, but the cutscenes were basically comics and he did have a tie-in comic book). Surge from an iteration of the New Mutants isn't a "white guy," but she is East Asian. There are also Crystal of the Inhumans, Thor, and Shazam, though the latter two also have a lot more going for them than just lightning.

The best version of his origin comes from the Spectacular Spider-man animated series

[@goldfire1]

I like how strong he is than theres his costume making him look like a D-list villain

[@Kyran1996]

That'd be a pretty smart misdirection tactic if he were more knowledgeable about and skilled with his powers when he designed the costume. Honestly, a lot of Spider-Man villains may seem underpowered from his interactions with them or how they utilize them, but if they were given to people as smart as Peter Parker is, they'd be absurdly powerful. Hydro-Man, for example, is just brimming with bottled-up potential, but the man himself doesn't really know how to apply it. Or just doesn't have the ambition.

[@unxprienced9548]
