Herman Schultz is The Shocker

## Origins

Herman Schultz was born in 1973 in New York. Not much is known about his early life, but he eventually was hired by Oscorp as a mechanical engineer, though he also had a background in electrical engineering prior to this.

Herman eventually developed a pair of shock-gauntlets for military use, which he was very proud of, though he was injured by the electrical work while developing them, and his face ended up being scarred, along with him being blinded in his left eye. Herman's hair also partially turned white, so he shaved it all off. When he recovered, he found that Dr. Curtis Connors was implementing his work into his military bio-suit, enraging him. he quit his job out of rage, not even asking for credit, believing his work to be stolen.

## First encounter with Spider-Man

Herman ended up remaking his gauntlets, though this time he added a small addition that would punch out when he punched, doing more damage. He then attempted to steal the bio-suit from Oscorp, believing that he owned it, since Oscorp used his technology in it. Spider-Man showed up to stop him, but was injured, and Herman took the bio-suit. Spider-Man ended up getting a new suit from Dr. Connors that was electrically insulated, and used it to defeat Schultz and return the suit to Oscorp. Schultz was then arrested.

## Encounter with Electro and The Avengers

Schultz would be broken out of prison not long after by Maxwell Dillon, also known as Electro. Dillon wanted his help to try and cure his condition, caused by an accident at Stark Industries. Herman agreed to, and the two of them worked to find a cure, but they had to steal materials. The cure did not work, so Electro instead decided to instead try to kill Tony Stark, who he blamed for his situation. Electro hired Schultz to help him, and the two attacked Avengers Tower. The two managed to do some damage, but were defeated by The Avengers in the end, and they were both arrested, though Dillon was later broken out of prison by HYDRA.

## Appearance

Schultz is a Caucasian man with blue eyes, though his left eye is blinded. He originally had brown hair, but he shaved it all off following his injury, leaving him completely bald. The left side of his face also has some burn scars, caused by his electrical injury. He normally wears a grey, sleeveless hoodie with a yellow sweatshirt underneath. The sweatshirt has a brown, webbed pattern on the sleeves. He also wears black shoes and a pair of jeans. He has two mechanical gauntlets, which have a small piece next to the pinky knuckle, which he can extend by tightening his fist. Finally, he owns a yellow, spandex mask with the same pattern as his sweatshirt, though he does not wear it very often.

## Powers and Abilities

On his own, Schultz has no actual powers, though he is:

* Very skilled and knowledgeable with electrical and mechanical engineering
* Skilled Electrician
* trained in boxing

With his gauntlets, he gains the following abilities:

* The extra bit on his gauntlets can be extended by tightening his fist, giving more impact to his punches.
	+ Additionally, electricity is released when he extends them.
* There is a small button on his palm that allows him to fire electricity out of his gauntlets.
* A second button is located next to it that allows him to release waves of electricity.

## Trivia

* Like most MR characters, Schultz's birthday is on the day his first comic appearance was released.
* Schultz uses electricity in MR because RealGechoman44 doesn't think his normal abilities make sense for a character called "The Shocker."
* Schultz is not actually referred to as "The Shocker" until he fights the Avengers, where Iron Man calls him that as a joke, and he decided to start using the name.
* MR's version of Shocker would be portrayed by Seth Meyers if MR was a show, as his physical appearance is somewhat based on him.
* The extra bit on his gauntlets is about the size of a nickel, though it is square-shaped.
