Electro's Look?

[Jesus of Narnia]

There's prolly a million polls about this all ready, but I did a search and couldn't find any recent ones so....

If they decide to use Electro in a sequel...what do you want him to look like?

As much as I love the comic book look...just imagine that on film.

*shudder*

[Sock-Man]

I like the original costume best, but it would look absolutely ridiculous on screen, especially the mask.
IMO, the best for on screen would be the Ultimate look. The black leather looks fairly cool but I think it should be slightly crazier, maybe bright yellow lightning shapes across it.
I'm not sure about the bald head but I guess it makes sense because it would have burnt away. The glowing eyes are cool though.

[Keyser Soze]

I say make him the classic max Dillon we know and love - y'know loser in life who wants to make an impact on the world, not severely burned psycho from the Ultimates. But give him hte Ultimate costume, except maybe make the colour dark purple rather than black, and give it a yellow trim.

[Keyser Soze]

Oh, and from now on, any Electro discussion should go in the OFFICIAL Electro thread on this board. Jawdawg started it, it's called "Electro".

[WEB OF SPIDEY]

I'd like him to loose the mask and tone down the colours

[Chris Wallace]

Hard to say; the MTV look was cool but "Hulk" kinda killed it. I like the Ultimate version but don't want black leather to become the new rubber. And no way in hell would that mask work.

[Arcturus]

I think the Ultimate Electro look would work.

[Symbiotica]

First, welcome to the Hype, Jesus. This is a much better poll than newbies usually post.

Second.... this poll needs a "his look needs to change as the movie progresses" option, since that's what I think it needs to do... I am not certain how I want him to look. Perhpas at first he could start out with the traditional green & yellow, complete with silly-yet-somehow-endearing mask.... then, as the movie progresses and his powers become more fully developed/he gains experience, he should move on to Ultimate-style, stylin' black rubber, which I really REALLY like, especially with the Quesada-style raised collar, wait just a sec & I post a pic.

Then, as time marches on, something happens like in U6, he loses his containment suit and we see him in essence stripped bare, just raw power and very frightening - perhaps he should become more... elemental, just really crazy. I don't know. There's a lot of different schools of thought on this and all of them have good points.

[Symbiotica]

Let's take a look at some stuff; and if you want any of these pix, swipe 'em because my hosting space is extremely limited & these will not be here long.

First, Bagley's magnificent Ultimate design, a personal fav of mine:

http://hometown.aol.com/executryx/images/bagley%20electro.jpg

What's not to like? Gorgeous.

[Symbiotica]

Next, the same design as rendered by Joe Quesada for U6. While Bag's original take is peachy with me, I admit I LOVE this big raised collar, that's so cool in a retro kinda way.... I also am very fond of the star-shape being etched into the skin of Electro's face, if he's not going to be wearing the yellow mask.

http://hometown.aol.com/executryx/images/quesada%20c.suit.jpg

Electro is older here but he's still cool.

[Symbiotica]

Next: the new MTV version. While I do take issues with some elements of Max's character in that series, I think this "god of electricity" look could kick some *very* serious ass on the big screen if handled correctly. Raimi & co. seem good at translating villains to the big screen so far, so I think they'd be able to give us something worth seeing.

http://hometown.aol.com/executryx/images/mtv%20electro_04.jpg

Bald or with hair, either way is cool with me (although I think guys with shaved heads are really sexy... can't help it :gg: ) and I definitely agree, his eyes have to glow.

[Eelectro]

actually i think if he had a ridiculous costume to start out with that resembled the original's that would be amusing but might seem kinda campy. i don't want campy. however, i'd like there to be the take of him being bald or clumps of hair anyways as the ultimate version portrays him. i would like the original max dillon character to be who electro is but switch around some of his origin.s i don't want justin hammer being involved but i'd like a new twist on his origin from the 'struck by electricity' that makes it seem more believable with him getting his powers. but i don't want to see any mention of MUTANT whatsoever too. keep the mutants with x-men.
and if he has a leather outift like the one above which kicks serious ass (U6 costume) it should somehow be stressed that it is insulated so it doens't burn off. but if his powers steadily increased towards the end of the movie he could end up burning his clothes off and just become total power. if he was power and had no clothes on, yes he would be naked, but i feel he would be far too bright to tell. i dont' want it being super bright to where we can't make him out but make him turn into power, make his eyes burn with electricity and have it just pouring out of him. if he was naked, he could still do some kick-ass scenes if the camera was to be worked right, but if he was naked, i don't think a scene like that should go past a couple of minutes if that. i would say go with that take only just before he is defeated and don't over do it, but enough to see what kind of power he is endowed with.
this way you would see a few different ouifts and version of the character. either his hair would become stiff like mtv electro or he would be bald. or maybe, just maybe he would steadily lose hair through the movie to show he is becoming more power than human so he COULD have hair and have it evolve into a few forms of electro to where he wont' have hair by the end and ends up looking like ultimate 6 electro
if he has the ultimate look, they should keep the idea of it but change it carefully so it doesn't look like he tailored it, unless that is the approach we are going for since he likes attention

[Sock-Man]

To begin with I'd like to see a black leather suit (ultimate), only with more yellow (not sure about green, doesn't seem very electricky). But in his first scene he should have some kind of mask. What of it was like a samurai mask, only more modern and contemporary, and shaped similar to how it is in the comics and painted black and yellow.

But then he would lose that and go for just the black suit. But he should have hair (the mtv hair looks cool). I think to start with he should only be able to fire electricity out of his hands, where as when he gets mor powerful he can produce huge balls of electrical energy. And for the eyes they should glow only when he is charging up and when he uses a power.

In the final battle I think he should charge himself up so much his suit and hair would burn away instantly. He would be naked but I think with bolts of electricity and energy flying around him it would be easy to cover him up. When he is fighting I also think it would be cool if when Spider-Man lays a hit on him, he flashes blue temporarily, similar to the U6 and MTV looks.

[Keyser Soze]

This discussion should be on the "Electro" thread.

[Jesus of Narnia]

Thanks for the welcome, Mnemosyne!

Anywho, I'm not sure if I like the MTV look...something about the hair, maybe. But I really like the first two pics...especially the second one with the raised collar. It does give him that retro supervillain look but also makes him seem more dangerous...not sure why though.

I think he should be bald, at least when he gets his powers...and the idea of him turning into pure electricity during the finale could be really cool too.

[Keyser Soze]

I think he should have hair at first, but then it starts falling out - like people who get electrolysis sometimes lose their hair. A scene where Electro wakes up to find all his hair on his pillow and he completely frekas out would be great!

[Jesus of Narnia]

Actually, yeah, that would be really cool. It seems to me that with most Villain's origin scenes, the character seems completely comfortable with the changes to their body and begin wreaking havoc immediately...

It'd be a neat change to have Electro's origin somewhat parallel Peter's by using a scene like that...have him excited about his powers at first, but then a little afraid when his body starts changing throughout the movie...hair falling out, static cling, interfering with electronics whatever...

At the end should he become pure energy, he could either become completely obsessed with using his new powers...or getting rid of them.

[Dr.Dude]

I'd keep it the same as the classic costume, but change the green to black and no mask. The Ultimate baldness and scars covering his face would be perfect, along with of course glowing eyes. ;) As my own touch, I think it would be cool if he had electricity start flowing out of his skin, so to speak, so for instance the electricity coming from his head would "resemble" his old mask slightly in shape, but wouldn't actually be a mask or obscuring his identity.

IMO, keep far away from the the MTV design and it's wierd hair. Of course, even that was better than how they "reimagined" the character... :mad: ;)

[DDRSkata]

I'd say a dark green trenchcoat, mustard yellow shirt, and black pants with uber-spiked blonde hair. The origin should resemble the one in James Cameron's scriptment (not bad, but not Spider-Man).

[Symbiotica]

No more trenchcoats. After Ock, that's going to be old news.

I don't think he should become pure energy either; I don't want him becoming an electric "ghost" like in the MTV series. I like how they did it in U6: he still has a human body, but he can still travel through power-lines anytime he wants to, too. This is good.

Seeing him floating around, errant energy-arcs passing between him and the ground as he moves like in the new series - that's pretty cool. There's so many cool things they could do with him.

[DDRSkata]

What do you think of Cameron's origin idea, Nemo?

[Demogoblin]

A little of some of those choices. Maybe naked when first gets his powers then designs a costume that doesnt burn when he uses his powers. Then he would use the classic costume without the mask, with less yellow and green.

[Symbiotica]

ddr: "What do you think of Cameron's origin idea, Nemo?"

I have never actually gotten around to reading the actual script, although I have it bookmarked.

From what I understand about it, I don't really mind; at least the lightning-field origin part. What bugs me is the idea of making Max a sort of Norman Osborn-ish character. That's not at all what he's about. Max is a very ordinary guy who is so nondescript as to be almost invisible out in society. He is a man denied most of the good things in life.

He's not an evil or could-be-evil business tycoon. That part, I really hate. Ixnay to that.

[Arcturus]

Electro ownz.

Besides, we'll all ready have had an evil business tycoon with Osborne, and a mad scientist with Ock...it'd be a nice change of pace to have just an ordinary Joe (kinda like Peter) bestowed with these incredible powers.

[Eelectro]

i have 3 different points of view on how i think electro should be put into a film
the first one is having electro be like peter, young, maybe 30 or so, but still the same character, grudges and such, i feel that's how max shoul dbe with all the films. but on one hand he could be the young guy getting used to his powers, like peter, and going through all these changes and thus becoming stronger and stronger until it was too much but by then he wouldnt' care anymore about his own existance, only his motive
the 2nd idea is having electro get his powers and not go through al lthe changes and have him just adapt to his powers, not right away, since i find comedy amusing and put to good if used right to show a transormation into something a little freakier such as this. he could have all thse grudges and just feel that his powers ae the best way to make them more his way. then through this he becomes greedy with power even tho he doesn't get a break. his powers would become him
the 3rd one would be him already having his powers and us finding out about it through him thinking about it, ie- flashback. and he has these powers but still doens't get any breaks and he doens't use these powers because he doens't kno how ot use them quite yet. like it screws things up for him even more. and something would happen to him that would just set him off and that's when he really starts realizing how to use the powers and just goes from there. maybe it would be more or less 'triggered' by anger to where his blood boils.
either way he is percieved in a film, whether it be one of these or some other way, i feel he should have all of max dillon's traits form the original character. but he could also get some new twists from maybe the ultimate electro. i feel the mtv one was just really wussy, big time. and he shoul devolve into his powers throughout the film, getting more powerful, so that it is visible how powerful he becomes
i'd like for him to get his origin from a slightly altered version of his original origin, or camer's scroipt with the electric field since i believe that is more believable, but he could still be max.
and i would like for him to become somewhat of an electric god at the end of the film, showing him going all ou. i'd like lots of destruction, windows on buildings shattering, power going out on whatever block he goes to. i'd love to see him ride his own lightning instead of hover around. i feel he shoul donly go up in the air when he wants to go somewhere really fast. he should fight on the gorund most of the time

The parts I'd really like to get from it are the origin, him being a petty criminal in the beginning, and the final fight between him and Spidey (although it couldn't be on the Twin Towers. :()

[Keyser Soze]

I asked this in the other Electro thread, and I'll ask it here. Who would you like to see cast as Electro? There's a few good choices. My personal fave cohice at the moment is Jay Karnes. Jay Karnes is best known for his part as Dutch in FX series "The Shield." I think he looks sorta like Max Dillon, has that geeky everyman qulaity and is a damn good actor.

[The Green Goblin]

I like the classic original look myself, corny mask and all. Maybe tone down the "suspenders" on the suit.

But I also like Nemo's idea of a graduated look, maybe ending up with the bald head and glowing eyes, like the ultimate look, but still in a dark green suit. Make his skin a yellowish, glowing color to keep the classic scheme.

[Symbiotica]

Keyser, I've never seen the show in question, so I can't speak for how good that person might be in the role.... if I ever do though, I'll keep an eye peeled for him. I don't watch much tv in general - too many commercials. Man, these days its easy to forget what you were watching, they play so many commercials.

[Keyser Soze]

Its an awesome show, Mnemosyne, my current fave. It follows an elite LAPD unit set up in Farmington, one of the LAPD's most crime-ridden areas, made up of the best Detectives and officers, as well as a tough-as-nails Strike Team. The twist which propels the story is that the Strike Team are all corrupt.

The show's main conflict exists between Vic Mackey, the leader of this Strike Team, and Captain David Aceveda, the ambitious leader of the unit who hopes that bringing down Mackey and his Strike Team will gain him popularity and help his bid to become Mayor.

It's cool, because technically you should be on Aceveda's side, since he wants a clean, non-corrupt police force, but you end up supporting Mackey instead, because he's just so kick-ass. Although in many ways, the two characters are as bad as each other. Everyone is stabbing everyone in the back!

To hear more about "The Shield", go to the thread "The Shield" on the Misc. TV Series board on the Superhero TV Series forum.

Do you mean that bald guy with the anger-management issues, the one who looks like he works out some? He wears a black leather jacket?

He might just work. Right age, right build, has a shaved head.... not bad. I wouldn't want to see Max that aggressive till the end of the film though, if at all.

Your right, tv is just one huge commercial but i love it :p

[pixen]

Make him the Ultimate Electro

[Scarlet Spyder]

yep i agree. ultimate or similar http://www.halloweenproductions.com/recent_projects/spiderman-hulk-action-cgi/electro-s.jpg

[Keyser Soze]

Actually, Mnemosyne, the guy you're thinking of is Michael Chiklis, who plays the lead character Vic Mackey. Jay Karnes plays Dutch, the tall, lanky detective who works with the black female detective.

[Symbiotica]

Scarlet, where'd you get that picture? Its really neat, I'd like to see a larger copy of it.

Keyser: "Actually, Mnemosyne, the guy you're thinking of is Michael Chiklis, who plays the lead character Vic Mackey. Jay Karnes plays Dutch, the tall, lanky detective who works with the black female detective."

i think a combo of the classic with the ultimate look could be done.

[Keyser Soze]

1. Don't call people newbie. It's the most pathetic insult you can call somebody. As if happening to discover this site a few months before someone else makes you better than them. Sad.

2. I, and many other people, really like the Ultimate look, and in the othe Electro thread, its the favourite look for him to have in any movie he appears in.

3. Did you ever take your foot out of your mouth after saying that Michael Clarke Duncan would suck as Kingpin because of his colour, only for him to kick ass?

[Scarlet Spyder]

here you are Mnemosyne

http://www.halloweenproductions.com/recent_projects/spiderman-hulk-action-cgi/electro-l.jpg

but I think i could do with some improvement, such as the x-men movie costumes imo.

[Symbiotica]

Great picture, Scarlet, thanks!!

keyser: "2. I, and many other people, really like the Ultimate look, and in the othe Electro thread, its the favourite look for him to have in any movie he appears in."

This is very true.... I think just about everyone here -likes- the old-style costume, but let's face it - that mask would probably look pretty silly onscreen. At best they could use the 90's ASM-style costume - the green and yellow, but without the mask. From what I understand, when he's powered up he's glowing so brightly you cant really see much of his face anyways.

That black rubber is really hot, though :gg: I think that would be best, if they can keep it from looking like the X-Men's garb.

[Eelectro]

i don't kno why, but for some reason that pic reminds me of bullseye in daredevil, lol
i want to see the design of the classic electro outfit (minus the mask) in a movie or at least one lightning bolt as with the ultimate style suite, but i don't want skin tight rubber. and i dont' really wanna see yellow and green either..i prefer blue or a darker color like the ultimate style. and as with the ultimate style, the star scared into his face is always a good image, maybe not perfectly like it, but something you would notice if you looked closely enough
small unnoticed details are always the nicest...altho the goblin really didnt' have any...

[Spidey-Bat]

I think the Ultimate look is good but make the orange a yellow-orange instead and maybe have some symbol on his outfit.

[Andrew]

You are all just saying what you would like to see him wearing. You should be saying why he wears it, and if you think his costume should change as the film progresses, why does it change? :)

[Andrew]

Oh, let me say this. :) I dont think Electro should have some sort of home made mask or something like that if he get's put in the movie. When he is demonstrating/using his powers, whether its firing a jolt of electricity or flying/hovering, electricity should come out from his head, forming the star fish shape. With the great CGI at film makers' disposal these days, this could be easily done. Also, electricity coming out from Electros eyes are a must. ;)

[Agent Thermal]

Well, whatever he wears, it has to be heat-proof. I voted "similar to the suit but with less yellow and green," only because I couldn't think of a better choice among the ones you had - but I would like him (personally) to resemble Bruce's dad from "The Hulk" when he absorbed all the electricity, only Electro should have yellow and orange electricity covering him rather than bluish, ala Hulk.:cool:

[Tangled Web]

I asked this in the other Electro thread, and I'll ask it here. Who would you like to see cast as Electro? There's a few good choices. My personal fave cohice at the moment is Jay Karnes.

I would cast Edward Norton.





undefined or conan O' Brien ;)

[Nero_Ordin]

the ultimate costume could work but i think crispin glover should be electro.

[Zev]

Ultimate. And I also like Cameron's origin. Maybe you could do something where he starts to take over the underworld with his powers, but eventually screws it all up...

[Silent Storm]

Either the classic look or a new black leather suit. I don't know about that Ultimate version.

[Andrew]

I dont think a black leather suit would look good on Electro. Plus, you would hear that 'squeek, squeek' when he walks ;)

[RedIsNotBlue]

I think a trenchcoat needs to be involved.

[Andrew]

I think a trenchcoat needs to be involved.

Thats what I was thinking too, but a trenchcoat has already been worn by ock so the trenchcoat has already been done. Maybe a long raincoat ;)

But the mask is gonna be really tough....I mean the mask is what made Electro's looks unique but it would look really cheesy on screen...who knows.

[Andrew]

Yes, it would look really cheesy on screen, which is why someone came up with electro's mask being real electricity. Well, it wouldnt be a mask as such, but when Electro demonstrates his power, electricity spouts out from his face/head in the star fish shape :).

[Andrew]

Actually I was thinking something like this....I think it looks perfect.

[Andrew]

How about something like this?

http://leatherwaves.com/images/hooded_leather_coat.jpg

[RedIsNotBlue]

Yeah I found that a while back searcing Google...I knew a long leather trenchcoat needed to be used on a villian so I searched for one and found this. And here is just idea but it may sound bad but what if Electro's hairstyle was in the shape of the classic mask in a way?

[RedIsNotBlue]

How about something like this?

http://leatherwaves.com/images/hooded_leather_coat.jpg

I dunno...that looks more like a robe that could be used for Mysterio.

I dont know. I dont think it would look to swell. I was thinking he would have a shaved head or slicked back hair. A normal hair style would also be ok, but I cant see how he would be able to keep a normail hair style being a super villain and all. ;)

That could happen, I dont want to see it all gelled up in this one fixed position though, like he has style or something.

**** it...just give him the classic mask.

If they can think of a good enough reason to do it then why not? :)

[Zev]

I'd like to see a scene, right after Electro gets his powers, where he buys the lame green and yellow costume, complete with mask, and goes out to wreck havoc. Spider-Man easily beats him with a water hose, then pulls his mask off. Electro's hair sticks straight up. He looks like a complete idiot.

Later, Electro has the black leather suit and has shaved his head.

Yeah I think that would be an even better jacket if the movie took place in the winter.

[RedIsNotBlue]

Actually the more I think about it he should just keep the mask if they plan to use him....I mean his origin is one of the cheesiest so why not have the mask?

[spideyboy_1111]

Marvel Knights version

[Jspider13]

I think he should wear a black biker-like jacket where he had the sleeves rolled up, a grey-ish t-shirt under it, a pair of electricity conducting gloves that he will use < very sleek looking, nothing bulky, some black pleather pants and some boots.

No mask.

I am sorry but that is very bland. The look is a big part of what a villain is and that is the what makes Electro recognized IMO. I would rather see Shocker with the less cheesy mask rather than an unmasked Electro.

Biker Electro? :confused: ;)

[Symbiotica]

No, Max is not a biker-jacket wearing kind of guy. He doesn't know how to draw attention to himself as a "civilian." He thinks his power is his defining personality-characteristic.... besides the biker-jacket thing has been done before. I'd prefer not to be harking back to Arnie in T2, visually speaking.

[Jspider13]

Well I'm sorry, but if you guys want to see green and yellow tights with a goofy looking mask, you may wanna reconsider.

[Electro]

Well I'm sorry, but if you guys want to see green and yellow tights with a goofy looking mask, you may wanna reconsider.
I didnt say that I wanted to see green and yellow tights with a goofy looking mask, because I dont. I just dont like your idea. I think the costume needs some sort of revamp if he is going to be in the movie, but I just dont like the idea of electro wearing biker clothes. :)

[Spidergurl4302]

Well I'm sorry, but if you guys want to see green and yellow tights with a goofy looking mask, you may wanna reconsider.ya i dont think his original costume would look good on screen....they could upgrade it or make him look like he did on the MTV animated series...i know the show sucked but electro looked pretty cool :D

[Symbiotica]

Well I'm sorry, but if you guys want to see green and yellow tights with a goofy looking mask, you may wanna reconsider.

I don't necessarily want to see that. What I'd really like to see as a first choice would be Ultimate Electro's black rubber containment suit. This makes the most sense from a logical standpoint, too - someone like Electro really would need such a suit when he's powered up, or everyone within about 100 yards would be dead. The electricity should only go where he wants it to go, not running through the floor, ground, furniture or whatever. This would stop any drain on his power as he comes in contact with conducting substances.

[Electro]

ya i dont think his original costume would look good on screen....they could upgrade it or make him look like he did on the MTV animated series...i know the show sucked but electro looked pretty cool :D
He was too blue, I didnt like him. :(

[Spidergurl4302]

He was too blue, I didnt like him. :(he doesnt have to be blue he could be like yellow, silver, whichever color:D

havent seen that MTV show in ages i forgot he was even blue!

they messed up his origin on that show too they made him an outcast who got the powers from an electric sign:confused:

[spideyboy_1111]

Well I'm sorry, but if you guys want to see green and yellow tights with a goofy looking mask, you may wanna reconsider.

im thinking more of this

i like the boots and the vest, and the idea of gold looks pretty good, i think his mask is important to have.. because theres so many electricity powered characters in comic books that it seperates him from the rest.

I like the marvel knights version
http://www.picturedot.com/FetchImageJPG.asp?ImageType=P&ImageFormat=H&ImageID=129761
he has new gloves, boots and mask, there appears to be some sort of power controler on his gloves and back. also his new mask seems to fan out when he is using his powers and lay flat against his face when not. i think combining the figure and the MK version, he would look really kool

and how cool would a scene like that be?

[Jspider13]

meh

[Jspider13]

I think the Marvel Knights version could work, but not that gold figure you showed. The boots make him look like a sentinel.

[spideyboy_1111]

i do like the MK suit better.. but i like the gold...

[RedIsNotBlue]

Well you guys need to remember if they bring him to the big screen they will most likely redo his origin because the one he has now is not that good for a movie IMO.

[Electro UK]

EDIT!

[Electro UK]

What is Electro with out his mask? Still a damn good guy but without the mask I feel empty inside

[Silver Sable]

Maybe he can wear a leather outfit??????

[snazzy J]

I'd start with the Ultimate look and the containment suit idea, but the black leather thing definitely wouldn't fly. Instead of of black, it'd be dark green with yellow highlights (lightning bolt shaped) and instead of leather, it would be made of vinyl/rubber type stuff. Also, his electricity would be bluish white, like the MTV show. I think it would be a pretty nice combination of the classic and Ultimate look and would definitely work on screen. Oh, and he'd definitely have the lightning scars in the shape of the mask on his face.

[portland2002]

I like the original costume best, but it would look absolutely ridiculous on screen, especially the mask.
IMO, the best for on screen would be the Ultimate look. The black leather looks fairly cool but I think it should be slightly crazier, maybe bright yellow lightning shapes across it.
I'm not sure about the bald head but I guess it makes sense because it would have burnt away. The glowing eyes are cool though.

Yawn! Looks one of those horrid leather suits from the X-Men films.

[Silver Sable]

Check out Symbiotica's Electro fanart.That will be a good outfit for him in a film

[Warrior]

They must keep him the way he is supposed to be so that he can represent the origional.

[Keyser Soze]

Electro is one of my favourite villains, and one of the few villains with the potential to support their own movie. And I love the classic look in the comics. But I'm not sure if that would work on the big screen. But then again, if you give him a different, more movie-friendly look, do you lose the essence of the character? Tricky question, this one...

[psycho]

I'd like to keep it similar to the classic look but updated and toned down, make it more badass.

[muhammady]

I voted for the classic look but if Ultimate Electro's costume was on the list I would have voted for that one because it would be spectacular.I like how Electro has been done in the comic books and I think that he should appear in one of the Spider-Man movies.They should not rush into him getting the super-powers and they should focus on his origins at the begging of the movie if he is ever included in a Spider-Man movie.

[LethalCarnage]

Have the classic suit

[psycho]

Here is my drawing for how I would want it to be if I was in charge:http://www.gler.akureyri.is/myndlist/Electroredesign.JPG

[pooh]

Nice costume design.

[GoldGoblin]

They should keep the comic look,just make it a different color.

[ScottishFogg]

i have absolutely no complaints about the Ultimate look.

[psycho]

Me neither.

[Venom09]

yo would this work just electricity instead of H20, and maybe bald or blonde hair?

[Gotendbz-2]

I'd say like the comics but less corny.

[Penguin]

I'd say like the comics but less corny.


I Agree

[Mr. Socko]

I'm just wondering how ridiculous his yellow lightning face mask would look on screen.
