Herman Schultz (Shocker) (Ultimate Comics)

==Summary==
Prior to a life of crime, Herman Schultz was a former engineer for the powerful pharmaceutical company Roxxon Industries, applying his genius intellect and his education in technology, having graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), into the former's underground advanced weapons production. Working at Roxxon, he developed "rotating gyro splints" and "compound geno-cycles" for the company, proving his aptitude for machinery, but was promptly (and to him, unjustly) fired for unknown reasons, sending Herman into a rage-driven, downward spiral, which ultimately led to Herman pivoting into a career of daylight robberies and transport raids. Time and time again, however, he is effortlessly bested by Spider-Man and is arrested, imprisoned in Ryker's Island Maximum Security Prison, only to develop and improve his signature vibra-shock technology and then escape from confinement to continue his criminal spree as the infamous Shocker—the laughing stock of the community.

Intelligence: Genius (In spite of his insignificant presence in the criminal community,Ultimate Spider-Man (2000) Annual #2 being regarded as a joke even by the police, Herman is a gifted engineer with a natural aptitude for mechanics, having designed and developed his Vibra-Shock Gauntlets from scratch; in fact, he can reproduce and improve his Gauntlets using only the resources available in Ryker's Island Maximum Security Prison, proving his capability. By his admission, he studied "until [his] eyes bled" at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and was previously employed as a weapons manufacturer at the world-renown Roxxon Industries for multiple years, having been recognized for his talents; under Roxxon, he invented "rotating gyro splints that could take out a tank" and "compound geno-cycles that could paralyze a man", likely by himself, and later created his Vibra-Shock Gauntlets and his Shocker costume from within prison. However, because of his own clouded anger hubris, feeling slighted by the world and driven mad by his numerous humiliating defeats at the hands of Spider-Man, he rarely displays his intelligence, typically fleeing in fear upon facing defeatUltimate Spider-Man (2000) #35Ultimate Spider-Man (2000) Annual #1)
