Electro's Lighthouse

[Electro UK]

Doc Ock's got his lair. Venom uk's got his Club House. Symbiotica and fever red have the Appreciation Thread. So why can't poor old Electro UK have an Electro thread? Then it snapped. Make an Electro thread! (Well a 3rd one)

So here it is. The brand new lighthouse. Spider-man's most electrifying villain is here and he wants to be talked about. And why shouldn't he be?


- He's made Spider-man beg for his life
- He's gone toe to toe with most other heros in the Marvel universe
- He's a valuble asset to the bigger villains out there
- He dresses so cool, other villains hang there heads in shame as he walks down the street
- He's more powerfull than most of Spider-man's villains
- He's the classic, guy you love to hate villain
- No matter how much writers try to screw him over, he'll always be so damn cool.

Now who couldn't like this guy? Look him up in the dictionary, he'll come under perfect. So don't disappoint him. Start telling everyone the fact that Electro rules. Do it now, in this very thread.

I present to you, The Lighthouse!

I always liked Electro :up:

First time I read him was in the first Sinister Six story from Stan Lee's day.He wasn't used enough back in those days IMO.In fact he's long overdue a decent story these days (along with several other classic villains).God knows the Spidey comics need him right now.

We were conversing last night on how cool Electro would be in a Spider-Man movie.

A battle in a lightning storm on the Empire state building would be cool as Electro can channel electricity I'm told.So a lightning storm would make him super powerful.Imagine what a visual treat that would be.

And let me add a pic to the festivities:

Thanks Ock :up:

Electro would be a truly great sight on big screen. I can imagine the final battle now, Spider-man's costume, battle ravaged. Electro laughing it up as he let out his bolts at Peter who furiously tries to dodge them. Truly magnificent it would be.

Alas, thanks to the random, out of the blue powers from Dr Doom in the Craptastic Four movie (don't get me wrong, I love the FF but hated that film), that may never happen. Its stupid how a ruined character may infact ruin the chances of seeing another great character on screen.

Well, let's not get into a hissy fit about that right now, I'm sure we'll have time for that later. Now's the time to spread your love for Electro. Here's an example:

I took that into consideration. I feel the thread failed purely down to lack of effort put in by me to make it a decent thread. I know what people have said in the past about if one thread fails, its silly to make a new one on the exact same topic but this time I hope I can make it work.

[TheRiddlerkid]

well, I wasn't around during the old thread so this might be my chance to say what makes Electro so cool.

like some classic characters, Electro has a outragious costume that seems stupid looking and no way would anyone wear it. But thats what makes the charcter so apealing. You can laugh at him for a couple seconds, make fun of his funny mask and then he can shiskabob your butt.

very comicle character but seriously needs a new costume for the millenium and a good story arc to go with it.

He's had plenty of good arcs :up: As for new costumes, we did see him maskless for a 4 part arc in asm and an attempt at a new costume in the Spider-man: Chapter One series that followed into new comics for a time (it was horrible though).

I wouldn't like to see him in a new costume. I think given the right style, Electro looks perfect. His costume is a defining point and probably the first thing that springs to mind to most non-Electro fans. Some say its goofy and they'll refuse to like Electro for this reason. I think they need to look beyond what may seem to them as a silly costume and see the brilliant character that is Electro.

[venomous]

I always did think his costume was pretty silly, until I saw it drawn by Finch in New Avengers. It made him an instance bad @$$, for me anyway. I have a deeper appreciation for the character now as well.

I like the new avy Electro UK, pretty cool!

[Spidey-Jason]

Electro look is very appealing,1st.He has that classic old-school villain feel!The guy is a powerhouse!His battles with spidey are always fun:) He's definitely so cool!:spidey:

I actually always liked the Blue costume from the 2nd Volume.

The Ultimate desing is something they might decide to use in any upcoming movie with Electro involeved. it's very fresh and new and I think it would translate well.

But as usual my favorite in any case would defiantly be the MTV version, very wicked looking and a sweet look to it. It just looks right for a guy who calls himself eclectro.

Everyone says that! I don't get it, the chase was bloody easy imo, did it second time around. All you had to do was time your jumps right when he shot out the bolts.

Nice pic. I do like Ultimate Electro quite a bit. They've taken him back to what he really used to be, a hired thug (who was among the first to see Spidey's real face). His first arc with Kingpin was excellent. His appearence in Ultimate 6 wasn't as good down to the fact that he never got any action. He saw one panel with him zapping Thor, but this was it.

This is Electro's daughter appearing in Spider-girl. I never brought the issue but I think Electro set out in search of Spider-man, seeking his help on something to do with his daughter.

Never really appealed to me though I may buy it if I ever see it.

... why is he wearing his under wear on top of his trousers? Not a bad attempt at a mask however :up:

Yeah I figured that it was from spider-girl. I never bought any of those comics...:(

Hahaha...who knows, I am guessing so that it could look more like the "original" but anyways I saw some other pictures of him and other party goers. I may post them later..:D

I am assuming in the picture that the guy on the left is punisher, the girl is Scarlet Witch and the guy on the right is Morpheus or maybe another punisher???:confused:

I was thrown off by the other pictures. There was a girl dressed as a Powerpuff Girl (lame), and some other things. Here I was thinking to myself that he had "bad" teeth...:rolleyes:..lol

As for the 60's cartoon, here are a few more pics from his 1st episode.

[POWdER-man]

Hahaha yes the TAS was a letdown with accurate information...

BTW did anyone dress up as a Electro this year for Halloween? My 2 year old nephew dressed up as the Hulk. You should have seen him do his growl, it was hilarious..:D

[TheRiddlerkid]

The Spider-Girl Electro story line went as they planned it.

Electro's daughter goes rogue and can't even touch his father without createing a "Buzz" So he goes to find Spider-man to help defeat his daughter so they enlist the aid of Spider-man's daughter Spider-Girl.

Obviously I ddin't guy it but that's what I recall from Memory.

LOL! That's it.

What is this "Whole new side" he's talking about???

[Electro UK]

Argh, the dreaded two panels. I was wandering how long it was gonna take for this to come up. Of course it raises the question, is Electro gay?

Now I've got nothing wrong with gay people *lie detector blows up* but of course, when it comes to the question of my favourite character being gay, I have to defend him.

First of all, I'd like to say that its not certain. We didn't even see what Max was going to say. I know some will say "Hey he's an Electro man, of course he'll defend him." but this is Max Dillon people! He was married for christs sake!

Life changing experience in prison? What? He drop the soap in the showers? :rolleyes: this is a Ditko villain. This is an outstanding classic. Not some Spot or Grizzly. You cannot screw with a character like this.

Ugh, now I'm turning it more into a rant. I really don't think that this is making Electro gay. It could have gone anyway. Could have been animals (Which I really don't know why I'm cool with :eek: ). Could have been a freakin Skrull. I'm annoyed how this small panel that will probably be ignored in comics now has changed people's view on Electro, mostly people losing respect for the character.

Electro is a great character, and for some reason, Millar thought it'd be a good idea to have a little fun with him and take the piss outta him. He's changed the way many people view Electro and it makes me very ****ing mad.

[Electro UK]

Anyways, check out how well a one Mr. Maxwell Dillon has his arch enemy, Spider-man figured in part of the sotry from this months Spider-man Unlimited

Now there's a guy that keeps his enemies close. Fantastic issue that really depicts Electro well. I'd print the whole issue but... well, you know. The whole thing ain't allowed.

[POWdER-man]

:D Excellent scans Electro UK :up:

You shouldn't have to defend Electro. It's obviously out of character, and should be treated like Sins of the Past.

I am surprised that it was brought up so early, I expected that it would be brought up by a newbie or a troll. In my opinion it's as bad as posting the pic of Carnage being torn in half in the Carnage thread, or Doc's death scene in the Lair.

Anyways, I will post some scans that I have featuring Electro.....:up:

Has anyone seen this? They say Scott Caan would be a good choice for Electro if he were to show up in a Spider-Man sequel. They also mention that "Electro wouldn't necessarily make the greatest standalone villain, he'd be great on the silver screen as part of a larger villainous collective (possibly the entire Sinister Six)".....:down:

http://www.ugo.com/channels/filmtv/features/spiderman2/futurevillains.asp

[Electro UK]

Pffft, Electro could easily make a brillaint solo peformance on screen. He's one of Spider-man's biggest threats. He got a whole game for christs sakes. Put Electro on screen! Then put him on screen again with the Sinister 6!

however this pic of him wasn't bad :up:

It's during the Revenge of the Sinister Six series from Spider-Man 18-23. I don't have my comics with me right now but it was one of the middle issues....I think 20 or 21...

[SANDLICKER]

Yo. I like electro, he's cool, but i wouldn't exactly call myself a fan.

I like a lot about him, but you've heard it all before.


Aside from that....

The mask throws me off. i just can't get over it. Im sorry.

What kind of electricity does he use? all electricity is made of electron currents, but there are different appearances. In ultimate SM it looks kinda like flame, very fluid and flowy. On one of the covers back there, he uses electricity that looks kinda thin and blue ...like spider webs ironically.(it also reminds me of Emp. Palpatine). and then in most cases his electricty looks like the thick yellow bolts. which is the standard, or which do u guys like best?

I cant stand it when he holds a bolt in his fist like Zeus. He conducts electricity, he doesn't make it solid and hold onto it. that's just weird.

Lastly, I would like to cast my vote that electro is not gay, but the writer who made that panel is. That pannel is almost positively pointing toward homosexuality, but that is out of character for electro and should be forgotten.

finally, there is nothing i actually dislike about electro really. all of the things i just mentioned were flaws that should be placed on the writers, not on the character himself.


ELECTRO ROCKS!

SANDLICKER, it all depends of the artist. Electro has had blue bolts that are thin and yeloow bolts that are quite fat. Presonally, I prefer the yellow ones.

[TheRiddlerkid]

I like the blue lighting rather than the yellow and vulky, just doesn't look right from my perspective.

Nice thread you've started Electro UK

Electro has always been one of my fav villains and I'm glad to see him get a few good remarks said about him

He would be cool to see in a Spidey movie as he is a classic character. I'd hope to see Electro used first long before someone like Venom.

Any chance of someone opening a thread for Mysterio?

TheRiddlerKid you could do it and maybe you could call it Mysterio's Maze of Marvels or Mysterio's Movie Club etc.

Both Mysterio and Electro deserve bigger better storylines than what they've had in the past.

A lot of talk is spreading around, saying that Topher would be a good choice for Electro (better than Venom at least). Now I'd agree, yes he'd suit him more than Venom, but I do NOT want him as Electro! Max Dillon is a menacing character even without his powers! Topher Graces is a rich little scamp who couldn't scare a spider.

[venomous]

^Who is that guy? (bottom pic of course) :confused:

[Electro UK]

Walt Goggins, played Shane in The Shield TV series. Brilliant actor. He's my choice for Electro.

[Symbiotica]

It's not that people really WANT Gopher as Electro, we just don't want him as Venom that much worse. I dunno who's brilliant idea it was that this maroon could play a villain and be taken seriously, but whatever.

Spider-Girl "ElectroGirl" episode: total and complete utter craptasticness. I'd post it, but fun isn't allowed these days...

As far as "gay" Electro, consider the source: Mark Millar. All I'll say is that so many homosexually-orientated remarks flow wide from this guy's mouth that I really wonder about his real, true orientation. He's thinking about homosexuality WAY too much for a straight guy, if you know what I mean... you have to wonder about people like that. What are they really telling us? And yeah, I know Millar is married.... but the homosexual jokes keep coming, and I have to keep wondering.

So does this end up tarnishing Electro's reputation? No; it makes us wonder about Millar and why he's thinking about homosexuality 24/7, and finding ways to hint about it in plotlines, that's what it does :D

that Shocker/Electro throwdown is great, I'd like to post that book too but that's not allowed, either. :(

[Symbiotica]

I still say Kevin Bacon would've been the ultimate Electro.

[Venom_uk]

I've often wondered about Millars mind set too. Nothing to do with which 'team' he's playing for but more to do with his sanity after what he did on his MK:SM run. So many things wrong with that arc now looking back at it. Bah!

As for the Electro gay thing, I don't believe it either. Fin Fang Foom on the other hand...now that's another story. ;):p

[Electro UK]

I still say Kevin Bacon would've been the ultimate Electro.

Doc Ock (I think) suggested him a while ago. He certainly looks the part yes. Alas, I have not seen any of his work. I'll have to rent a movie or something.

[jaydawg]

Bacon is way too much of a pretty boy. Remember, Electro has to look like an average joe, nothing special about him.

[POWdER-man]

Meh...I don't know about pretty boy....I wouldn't consider him to be like Leonardo or Orlando......maybe back in the 80's or early 90's....when he was in his prime but he wouldn't be an awful choice......

Although this actor normally comes off very soft spoken in his roles, I still recall his explosiveness in Fear...which I am referring to Mark Whalberg...

[Symbiotica]

Bacon is a "pretty boy"?! Have you seen him in "Stir of Echoes"? Nothing pretty about him. He could do this - shame we'll never get to see it.

Millar doesn't have to be gay to be homophobic; he just has to be rock-certain, deep down inside, of 2 things: that he himself is not adequately masculine, and that homosexuality is the apothesis of effeminacy. :D

If he's a homophobe, Millar is trying pathetically to make the worst of a bad situation. He thinks he's a little girly-man and that it's apparent to others, but he hopes to salvage some status by making it clear that he isn't the absolute-girliest sort of man (which in his mind is a gay man). That is the motivation for rigidly stereotyping gays and loudly disapproving them.

Now how could Millar's homophobic slander tarnish Electro's reputation?! Such statements only make the charactor, who has never shown any doubt about his own masculinity, look BETTER in comparison to Millar.

As far as I can see it's never masculinity that Electro is insecure about. Maybe it's performance. Yes! That would account for his obsession with competing with an alpha male like Spidey, whose virility is so evident in his copious production of "webbing." :D In conclusion, Electro can't reach his conclusions- the poor guy; how frustrating for him. ;)

Yeh, I feel an essay coming on.

Examples of Max all around the Marvel universe:

Notice how he's kicking butt in all of them? ;)

[POWdER-man]

:eek; How many times has Max went up against Captain America and DD? Has he faced any other superhero?

[Electro UK]

Well, as you can see Omega the Unkown too.

He's fought Cap quite a few times, both in and out of Spidey books, same goes for Daredevil (though he made more appearences in DD's 1st 100 issues than he did in Spidey's 1st 100).

He's also fought the FF and I'm sure he's crossed Iron Man's path a few times.

[POWdER-man]

Here's a neat Quiz for anyone interested. I got 7/10..:(...I have to study harder.....

This lighthouse needs a new bulb.It's fading out.

*Screws in bulb*

There we go.

Now here is an excerpt from Adam-Troy Castro's Sinister Six novels.In this particular passage Spider-Man is describing each member of the Six to a loser criminal named the Disc Jockey in a bid to show him that he's amateur compared to the villains Spider-Man usually faces.

Ok Spidey's description of Electro:

"Okay,now none of these guys are exactly poster children for mental health,but the fourth guy is probably the wackiest of the group.His name is Max Dillon,and he calls himself Electro,the human power battery.Now,I don't have time to go into how,but somewhere along the line he got charged up with enough raw electricity to light up a city.He never runs out of it either.
He can release more lightning than a medium-sized thunder storm and still have enough left to totally incinerate a city block or two.Try to shoot him and bullets explode before they get close.Try to throw him in a river and he'll vaporize thousands of gallons of water without getting wet.He can fly,hurl ball lightning,blow up cars and buildings by pointing at them,give you seizures by disrupting the flow of nerve impulses in your brain,and completely drain the power from any machine you might build to fight him.
Now you'd figure a guy like this,he'd just make millions the honest way by getting a job driving turbines for the power company-but no,he prefers levelling neighbourhoods and laughing at anybody who tries to stop him".

Talk about a force to be reckoned with :up:

[Electro UK]

Very nice round up there :up:. That's one of the most detailed accounts on Electro I've ever read.

Who remembers the old Spider-man game, Spider-man 2: Enter Electro? What an ace game. After struggeling past Shocker, Lizard, Sandman and Hammerhead, you face Electro in two amazing battles. not to mention what a ****** it was to climb up that electric wall in the museum ;)

[Electro UK]

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y94/Spiderjam/img027.jpg (http://photobucket.com/albums/y94/Spiderjam/?)

Always liked this piece. Here Electro stands, so damn powerful that he's getting the whole cities attention. Now that's gotta take some power.

[Electro UK]

Well, Electro's definately done one of the weirdest things to Spidey yet, take a look at part of this story I just scanned...

Which leads to...

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y94/Spiderjam/img031.jpg

Hahaha! How great is that? :D (Electro's found later, owning Thing and Human Torch on top of the FF building, after Spidey beats him, Reed puts him backk to normal state).

[POWdER-man]

Haha that's awesome...:D

He made SM magnetic to money, paper, a stuffed animal, concrete and a microscope??? :confused: That's weird.....oh wait that's static electricity.....still weird.....what's worse, is how in the world did he beat Electro???

[Symbiotica]

What are those scans from, Electro? I wish to peruse this book :)

[Electro UK]

The first scan is from Light the Night part 3 in Spider-man 40.

The other is from Spider-man Unlimited 9. Only a few months old so it'll be easy to track down :up:

He also has a very good story in Spider-man Unlimited 11, I put a few scans of that up a few pages back.

[Electro UK]

what's worse, is how in the world did he beat Electro???

With the aid of the Thing and Johnny... especially the Thing ;)

[POWdER-man]

Haha, I guess he fought She-Hulk too...:D

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a227/Powderman_22/she-hulkv2-58.jpg

Here's another great cover...:up:

and here's Ultimate Electro....I never been really crazy of the look...he looks more like a skinhead...:(

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a227/Powderman_22/36.jpg

[Joker]

As I promised Electro,a couple of scans for thee.This is from Untold tales of Spider-Man:

I'll scan some stuff from the Sinister Six stories too soon.And Ultimate Electro as well.

I'm afraid my Electro comics are not in abundance.

[Symbiotica]

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a227/Powderman_22/she-hulkv2-58.jpg

I own this book, and it sucks, sucks, SUCKS. *Trust me.*

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a227/Powderman_22/amspider-man423.jpg

Great cover? This ain't just a pretty face, it's a GREAT arc altogether IMO. This is the power-up arc and Max kicks all kinds of ass in it. That and "Light the Night" are my favorite books for this character.

I confess to being quite a fan of Ultimate Electro, he's such a wise-ass you have to love him. Not the sharpest knife in the drawer, though.

Yeah, I have never been much interested in She-Hulk, I am surprised that you own that copy. Do you normally buy She-Hulk or was it the Electro appearance that made you buy the issue? I didn't think you were a She Hulk fan, or was that just the Hulk? ;)

I have not purchased comics regularly since High School, although I go back to my old issues a lot. Occasionally I will purchase a new issue when the storyline peaks my interest. But mostly I try to keep up to date on what's going on. Speaking of which, have you seen the last issue of the Other? Crazy to say the least. I am not liking this change in SM.....:down::( Hopefully it will be short lived....I just hope they don't make him into Morlun (even for a short time).

I must admit that I am not too familiar with the Ultimate version of Electro. I was merely commenting on his completely different look than the original.

[Electro UK]

Ock, those are some simply FANTASTIC scans. Sym, you couldn't be more right. The Electro power-up arc is the best Electro arc out there. I have only one issue of Light the Night sadly but I'm on the look out for the others.

[Bullseye]

I must say that when Electro guest starred in Marvel Knights Spider-Man... Electro took Spidey to the max.

[Symbiotica]

Yeah, I have never been much interested in She-Hulk, I am surprised that you own that copy. Do you normally buy She-Hulk or was it the Electro appearance that made you buy the issue? I didn't think you were a She Hulk fan, or was that just the Hulk? ;)

I am a fan of neither She-Hulk nor garden-variety Hulk; I bought that issue off eBay because it had Electro in it. I have most but not all Electro appearances, being a serious student of the character. I don't have the original Electro appearance in DD, and I don't have his appearance in.... damn, that Falcon thing. Other than that I probably have it.

That She-Hulk issue makes a total fool out of Max and I hate it. If I have time I'll scan some stuff out of it Tuesday. He's taken down by S.H. and this new kid sidekick calling himself "Tommy the Gopher." Really ugly, trust me.

As for Ultimate Electro, he's actually quite interesting. His powers are slightly different from 616 Max, for instance he can disincorporate and travel through electrical wiring, etc. which makes him quite hard to stop. In his two appearances so far, he has increased quite a bit in power, and he's getting quite the little 'tude [as is only justified!]. I hope this trend continues. He certainly managed to **** up the Triskelion in a truly royal fashion. :up: Had Nick Fury in a bit of a froth. it's always good to see that.

[Electro UK]

I look forward to your scans Sym. :up: I've only been into comics for about 2 years now, so I have only a few Electro appearences. I'm gradually hunting them down issue by issue. :up:

[Venom_uk]

Dude, try hunting all of Venoms apperances down. Now that's a task 'n a half that is! :venom:

[Symbiotica]

I'll dig up She-Hulk another day... here for your edification is part of the attack on the Triskelion featured in last year's "Ultimate Six," showing why Ultimate Electro is not a person to be trifled with.

We're leading off here with Otto Octavius, recently escaped from SHIELD detention with the other 5 detainees, enjoying his success at hacking into SHIELD headquarters' computers.... naughty boy... :)

And then Ultimate Sandman shows up to help host the festivities. The entire facility almost gets trashed, Sandman gets grit into every machine Electro doesn't manage to just plain short out and destroy.... and then Norman and Otto show up too. Funfunfun.

Sure wish this'd had a better artist. As in, the guy who's supposed to be on the book....

Thanks for the scans Sym. This was Electro's best part in Ult 6, we were cheated out of seeing him fight Thor in the last few issues :( I did like his debut in USM though. I don't have it (borrowed it from my library) so I'll have to track down the trade :up:

[POWdER-man]

Yeah those were nice scans...continuing my pic spamfest...

You don't want to mess with Max when he is mad....

Man I have to track this issue down. It looks sweet. Thanks for the scans PM, I'll put somemore up in a while. :up:

[gliderpilotgirl]

Wow, this is an awesome thread to an awesome Character. I really hope they put Electro as a villian in the upcoming movie; he has such cool potential as this thread shows :)

[Symbiotica]

Hey, show the part where Electro and Shocker actually throw down! My God, that is funny. It would be so great to see that onscreen... but NO. We get Sandman. I'd much rather see Shocker than Sandman.

Thanks but sadly, I used a reference.It wasn't drawn from my mind :( :o

I've seen it before.Good stuff :up:

[Dyeathrose]

:) I was hopeing if I looked around for a little bit, I'd find what I was looking for. I really love Electro as a villian, as well as his backstory; to me he seems to be more dangerous for being a team player (as many times as he's been on the Sinister Six, etc), as he can adapt to any situation with a flick of the wrist.

Sadly, I don't have any scans to offer right now (I do have a clean version of Electro-cuted! from my calendar I want to scan, but I have to pull it from my wall), but I'm just happy to find this thread. It's added to my Electro collection quite a bit.

[Symbiotica]

Ooooo, I *want* to see more of those DD scans! Beautiful! I know what you mean, though: I'm dying to scan that Spidey-Batman crossover I have, but the covers are card-stock, and to scan would mean creasing the book. :(

http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d51/powderman_222/42519cf.gif

I don't know how people can look at something like that and then say "Electro would be boring to see onscreen," but it takes all kinds to make a world.

Instead they're gonna be looking at "twin" Venom. Hope they're happy.

[Electro UK]

I HAVE to track that arc down, my Electro collection is nothing without is :(

I may not be able to scan more of DD: Yellow, but I scan scan some of the AWESOME art I found in my recent purchase of Spider-man's Tangled Web 10 (also a card cover but lucky, one of the best picture is on the left) oh and this is the full page incase you're wondering.

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y94/Spiderjam/img049.jpg (http://photobucket.com/albums/y94/Spiderjam/?)

Stunning... simply stunning. :up:

[Symbiotica]

Tangled Web #10 is great! I -love- that book; that story and "Open All Night" are truly fabulous reads - loved them both.

[Dyeathrose]

I'd personally love to have seen Electro on the big-screen before Venom; more because I'd rather explore the older rouge's gallery before getting into the symbiotes (as much fun as they are as well :)). If they really wanted to play with CGs, then how about an electrical storm atop Lady Liberty? Or just some sparks between fingers when flexing? At least it looks good in my mind; I've never found anyone I'd think of to play Electro, though, probably because I don't keep up too much on actors. :D

Damn you Movie Dr Doom for stealing Electro's powers. How long do we have to wait until Max is up on the big screen? :(

Movie!Doom was jealous, secretly, he really wanted the costume too, just knew it wouldn't fill out right on him. ;) I hope we do get to see him on the big screen soon, I'm just terrified on who the might get to play him. :( I'm kind of picky, I suppose.

So, I finally got down to scanning my 2005 calendar, and since I introduced Carange as Mister April, this makes Max Mr. August? Sure. :)

http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b326/demorose/spiderman/00ElectroAug.jpg

I'm not sure why, but this is one of my favorite images of Electro and Spidey facing (it stayed August in my room for about two months). Which issues had David Finch drawing Electro? If they're back-issues, I want to try to get my hands on them.

[Symbiotica]

Finch drew Electro in the first two [?] issues of New Avengers, or as we snarky, biased and irreverant types like to call it, Nude Avengers. So called because the Avengers do actually get naked in it. True! Naked and hung upside-down.

In fact, I think I got a few of those bad-boys from N.A. #1 still stashed in my comics folder, let me see what I can do.... [vanishes for a bit]

[Symbiotica]

Our story so far: having just drained almost all the power from Manhattan, Electro [hired by a minor-league villain named Sauron (was it actually Sauron?) at the behest of yet a third party] repairs to the Raft, a detention-facility designed especially for paranormal criminals, and does....THIS:

Now THAT, I call a splash-page. Wow.

Don't go all hog-wild and start thinking that Sparky is returning to form in a way you simply can't miss, though - like I did. I was so happy to see Electro back! This awesome villain and his mind-boggling powers were going to get a long-deserved spot in the limelight; and I was loving every second of it.

In the very next issue, Bendis has him fainting dead away at the mere sight of Luke Cage, that [expletive deleted.] It was a very sad denoument to a great start - and just one more reason good reason to loathe Bendis: he cheated Electro of what should have been his. Respect.

First Carnage, now this. Great work, Bendis. You rock.

....I..WOW...I am now in need of those issues. *saves* This shall hold me over until then. Except, wow Bendis, that's rather a low blow; I understand that Max is supposed to have some self-confidence issues and such, of course, not to the point like Shocker where it's actually wrote as a weakness, but... :( In those splashes he looked like he was back on the ball, and getting somewhere. *sighs* I'd give Electro a hug, but I'm pretty sure he'd toast me. :O

[Symbiotica]

I doubt he would fry you, Max is hardly impervious to feminine charms. :) He's very human in that respect. In fact, they're what leads to his downfall in this title. I won't spoil that for you since you haven't already read it... and I could accept what happened, but the fainting thing on top of that was just too much.

Seriously not-cool of Bendis to treat him so.

As for movie-version Doom "stealing" Max's powers, bah. Does that even count? Did that movie do that well? I'd bet at least half of the potential audience hasn't even seen F4. I certainly haven't.

[Dyeathrose]

Gotta chance then. ;) :D *laughs* Thanks for the hint, it makes me more excited than before to get it. I just can't think of him fainting to anyone just by looking at him, no matter how strong they might be. I think I might just ignore those pages and just drool over the art pages of Max in glory.

I didn't sit in the theaters for F4 for the simple reasons that when I was Jessica Alba as Sue...yeah, I went the other way. I don't like her very well as an actress (I didn't really enjoy her as Nancy in Sin City, but I still went), and being utterly confused by the commercials never showing Mr. Fantastic's powers, I decided I'd just wait.

Ha ha. Yeah, NA's issue 1 was astounding, that amazing slapsh page with the explosion at Rykers... and then Bendis goes and screws up. :rolleyes: Luke Cage wouldn't have a chance against him. Horrible shot at comedy there Bendis :down:

Check out the 1st page of this thread for more of that amazing art from Finch :up:

I'm not sure why, though I have a very good idea, but they seem to think of Electro as a comical relief failure than a threat, despite the fact that his power, should he find the confidence and as he put it "the creativity" to use it properly, would be devistating. Most of the time it's because of the costume, I think, since it's so flamboyant (one of those, you either love it, or you hate it). I might be biased though. ;)

And now, to go searching through the past for more collection material. Thanks.

Those Marvel Knights Spider-Man issue really showed how Electro can be a thorn in Spidey's side.

Those Marvel Knights Spider-Man issue really showed how Electro can be a thorn in Spidey's side.

It's about the only good thing that came from that series.

[Bullseye]

There was lots of good thins that came out of tha run from Millar and Dodson. It was the best Spider-Man book at the time.

[Joker]

There was lots of good things that came out of tha run from Millar and Dodson

Like what??

Scorpom?? Eddie Brock slitting his wrists?? Fing Fang Foom fetish suggestions for Electro?? Ock being brainwashed to kill Norman Osborn?? A cop out for a GG Vs Ock battle?? Norman Osborn being the mastermind for the 98857465th time??

No Marvel Knights didn't offer much at all,except for Electro being shown as a bad ass,and getting to fry Black Crappy.

[Venom_uk]

Best thing about the 1st 12 issues was the artwork. Dodson & Cho did a great job in that department. Story wise it was very 'meh', IMO.

[Bullseye]

It didn't get any better with Hudlin's scripts.

I got 50...which is pretty good considering I've had very little Electro expossure. :)

[The_Hobgoblin]

NO! :(



.... who dat wearin' the mask over there? :)

Well that's the mystery isn't it? Last time I checked there were 3 of me... and only one of those is free... hopefully I'll be in a Spider-man book soon enough, not some cheap rip off from 200 years later.

Not wanting Sable to do a Carny quiz? Well then, I wonder who else could create such a taxing challenge ;)

And not bad btw uk. I just wish QYF worked like it used to and sent you an email for everyone who took your quiz, that way you could see what you got wrong.

[Silver Sable]

Even is people want me to do a Carny quiz, I'm afriad I won't do it good :(

Sorry, I forgot to reply to this.

You did a great job. A good profile for the villains is essential for new fans who want to learn more about the characters :up:

[Joker]

Hey Electro fans, it is my profound pleasure to tell you that Electro makes his move against Spidey in the pages of Sensational: http://www.marvel.com/catalog/?id=5079

Looks like he's one of the guys Chameleon recruits.

[Electro UK]

:eek:

Awesome. SSM shaping up to be a damn fine book at the moment, looks like Electro's in the issue before this, so that's in 2 months time, a date to put in my diary. :up:

A rather bizarre bump for this thread, but I just had to bring what I found to attention.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electro_%28comics%29

Why is there a link for a Gay League profile in the external links/references for Electro on Wikipedia :confused:

If you click on the link it has some stats for him, including his sexual orientation, which according to them is bisexual......

Mainly because of the implication of MK:S-M, since it's been claimed that Mark Millar said the person who Max wanted his escort to impersonate was Spider-man. If you were totally being facetious, since at the moment I can't tell, I'm sorry. :dry:

[Jack O'Lantern]

Max put up a good fight against Spidey in the latest Sensational Spider-Man. Great art, biting dialog....but I thought the comparison between Electro and Hitler was kind of a stretch. Ok, so Max considered being an artist as a kid. Thats pretty much all he has in common with Adolf Hitler. :huh:

[Joker]

Max put up a good fight against Spidey in the latest Sensational Spider-Man.

I disagree. It was a very short battle.

All he did was throw a few blasts about. There was no huge destruction, no chaos, all he did was wreck a couple of PAINTINGS. Then Spidey used that awful Iron Spidey suit to take him out in the blink of an eye.

I was disappointed. Electro deserved better than that. I thought he might get a whole issue to himself, but bloody Swarm got more attention than Max did.

What are you talking about??

That is the only comparison they made between them. Nothing else.

Yes it was short and yes I would have liked to have seen more of Electro, but I enjoyed the fight that he put up. Very dramatic look to the fight. Maybe you arent concerned by a few paintings being destroyed but a history geek like me was sad to see something irreplaceable get destroyed. The intensity of Max wasnting to kill Peter was enough to make me happy.

It was very out of left field. It was like he just mentioned that Hitler was an art student for no reason. I read it and thought "OK.....thanks for the info.":huh:

[OctoHaz]

Time to give this place a little nudge.

Though a loyal minion of His Tentacle-Ness, Otto Octavius, I have to admit that I've recently developed a definite liking for Electro. It started with Castro's Sinister Six novels; Castro does all the characters justice, but he pays special attention to Max.

I dug up and read "Light the Night" which was quite excellent; that and the arc in which he gets powered-up are my favorites so far.

Some Electro fan-art I dug up on deviantArt:

...Man, I don't care what anybody says. I /like/ that adorkable costume, mask and all. :)

I always thought if any Spidey-villain was (ahem) light in the loafers, it would be Mysterio, and even Castro of the Sinister Six novels agrees.

But seriously, when you can cause seizures by interfering with neurological signals, short out an entire city, or just fry someone extra crispy, who the hell is going to tell you that you have no fashion sense?

[Web-Head]

Interview with Crispin Freeman (Electro) on TSSM. http://forum.newsarama.com/showthread.php?t=148431

What I think what’s different about this Electro is his power is effecting his mind. He’s almost completely insane, babbling a lot of the time. The high voltage has overpowered his psyche. I find that really interesting. I mean, of course your brain is responsible for channeling a lot of electronic signals through its neural passages. When you’re charged with all that electricity its probably going to effect your brain. That’s certainly what he struggles with. It’s almost like he’s still trying to figure out what’s happening to him. He switches from being angry to paranoid to being vicious to sort of cool. It’s really interesting playing him.

Can I just say that I love what they are doing with Electro in the new cartoon?

[Spider-ManHero12]

You most certainly can, Web-Head because it's true! :yay::up:
