Shocker

Shocker (AKA Herman Shultz) is a small time criminal who uses vibro-gauntlets to rob and steal.

## Early Life

Shocker was a self taught engineer and criminal who devolved high tech vibro-gauntlets that were capable of causing missive damage and destruction. He used these gauntlets to become a mercenary for hire.

## Meeting Spider-Man

Shocker was one day wreaking havoc on the streets on Ney York. Shocker punched a car at two police offices, but Spider-Man arrived, saving the officers. Shocker told Spider-Man that his Boss had a message for him, before starting to fight Spider-Man. Shocker, losing the fight, punched Spider-Man downwards, accidently leading them both into underground tunnels. Shocker webbed up by Spider-Man, but not before expressing his fear of what was down there. Shocker was then arrested.

## Shocker Returns

The next day, Shocker would be let out of prison thanks to his connections. He would continue to wreak havoc, trying to get Spider-Man's attention. Spider-Man would show up, and Shocker explained how there was a monster in Ney York City. He explained how the holes were dug by this monster, and that it was a threat to both him and Spider-Man. Shocker proposed they both work together, but Spider-Man would web up Shocker, refusing to team up with him.

## Hunt for the Lizard

The Shocker was contracted by the Kingpin in order to capture Dr. Connors, who, after doing research for Wilson Fisk, turned himself into the Lizard. After Connors had returned to normal, Kingpin killed his family due to him not wanting to help him again. However, Shocker soon realizes he could not beat it alone, and decides to get an extra hand.

Kingpin told Shocker to send Spider-Man a message. The two criminals planned to blackmail Spider-Man so that they could use him to get the Lizard. Shocker would go off and destroy nearby buildings, attracting Spider-Man’s attention. The two fought, and Shocker was sent to prison.

Kingpin, using his vast connections, got Shocker out of prison, and Shocker again faced off with Spider-Man. He failed and was sent back to prison. Later, Spider-Man broke him out of jail, revealing that Kingpin told him the truth, and that he had been forced to work with him. Spider-Man threatened to kill Shocker if he hurt his Aunt May, and Shocker agreed as long as the two stook to the plan.

The two went off into the sewers to find the Lizard. They soon found Lizard, but a fight occurred, leaving the Lizard to get away. Upset, Shocker forces Spider-Man to go to the Lotus Café with him. The two bond and develop a plan.

Spider-Man and Shocker team up and go into the sewers again to defeat the Lizard. The fight leads into the city where the Lizard turns into back into his human form.Spider-Man stops Shocker from killing the Lizard, and people record it. Spider-Man is now seen as a criminal.

Both Spider-Man and Shocker are captured by the Human Torch and put into containment cells within the Fantastic Four tower. Shocker believes Spider-Man ratted them both out to Mr. Fantastic, but soon finds out this was false, as Reed lets them go out to stop the Lizard again. They start a fight with Lizard once more, but this time Shocker kills him. Spider-Man, seeing this, is upset, however he doesn’t arrest Shocker, fearing if he does his Aunt will be hurt.

Shocker brings Kingpin the corpse of Dr. Connor. However, when he overhears that he will be taking the blame for the event, he attempts to kill the Kingpin. Spider-Man stops the assassination, and Shocker is put back into prison.

## Birth of the Sinister Six

Later, Doctor Otto Octavius would contact Shocker, asking if he wants to be a part of something more Sinister: Project Six.
