I want the interpretation of Electro from Spider-Man The New Animated Series.


i like the Ultimate Comics version Bald Headed but i don't know about the gay club outfit with the lightning bolt cutout for an opening. i mean we get it his powers involve electricity they can come up with a cooler design than that.
 
But the thing I like most is his mirror effect. Electro was what Peter couldve become if it werent for Uncle Bens advice. Max Dylan (TNAS) is basically what Peter was back in high-school. He is a shy nerd who has zero luck with life and girls and is the target of bullying. It would be good to see Peter facing a version of himself if he let things get to him. Peter gets his powers and fights for good. Max gets his powers and kills his tormentor. Peter couldve done that with Flash. Electro is basically a reflection of what Peter wouldve become. Peter put aside his happiness with MJ for a while. Max becomes obsessed with Valeria Toomes and tries to turn her like him.
 
Tbh, I'm pretty fed up of all those "What if (insert hero) would have gone bad?" stuff

I don't really like this for the sheer fact that your taking it off TNAS, which was crap to be honest.

I thought it was good.

Just make him Connors assistant (like Spectacular Spider-Man) along with Peter and they are friends. He is a nice guy,just like Peter and has a crush on Valeria Toomes,like Peter with MJ. Also like Peter he is bullied. Instead of him becoming pure electricity,he appears normal. He begins killing off his bullies and Peter suspects its him. With NYC after him,he decides to become a criminal as revenge. Donning a costume and thus becoming Electro. He is the same as Peter,then becomes the complete opposite.
Max and his result as Electro, is essentially what Peter might have become.

I like this a little better, but I don;t think he and Peter should be frineds. Maybe aquintences, or just partners. He's jealous that Peter, who is like him, has the hot girl and the smarts while he has no one and barely gets by intellect-wise.
 
Well the point is that the theme/concept was already tackled (horribly may I add) by Raimi in SM3.

They should try something fresh in SM4 that will wash away the sour taste the previous film left.
 
yeah i don't know how fresh Lizard is going to be. i mean we had a friend turned foe already in the series. we need a villain who has no previous tie in with Peter. I think that's why I liked about Spider-Man 2 the most. Doc Ock was just a friend of Peter's teacher Dr. Connors. but they did kinda buddy buddy up a little before he became Doc Ock. and then the same lame crap in Spidey 3 happened in Spidey 2. The villain has a change of heart and saves the day or no longer considers Spidey a foe. big mistakes in superhero movies. Never kill the villain unless absolutely necessary and never have a change of heart...always remain evil. One of the qualities of the Green Goblin. the serum drove him into the point of insanity and was evil to the very end. but shouldn't have died though.
 
If they have Electro, I hope his costume is similar to his MUA2 costume. It's the most realistic version that's similar to the classic one IMO.

i agree somewhat but still I think the Dr. Manhattan look would be better. not as buff, not as naked, with electric steams around him. kind of like Raiden from Mortal Kombat. and to give a twist of darkness his skin should show of charred or burn damages. maybe the should cast Seal as Electro...lol that's messed up huh?
 
Brock is what Peter would be like if he was born a jerk,lol. In 3 anyway. But Max should be the exact same as Peter as he was in high-school.

As HughJackFan said and I agree. Peter and Max shouldnt be friends per say. Max should act like a friend to him,as he has nobody and relates to Peter. But still harbours jealously at how Peter has a good job, a girlfriend and moved up in the world. Where he is still stuck in the past,nerdy and still being bullied. One night while working the lab,the bullies he finally reported (thanks to Peters advice) corner him and several chemicals spill onto him. Max flees onto the roof and attempts to climb up antenna where the lighting strikes him. His tormenters leave him,fleeing cause they think he is dead. Alive. Several days later, Max then secretly uses the powers he has gained to kill his bullies. When Peter confronts him,a battle ensues and he is wanted by the ploice. Max decides to reap revenge on Peter and NY. He dons an outfit and becomes the villain Electro.
 
People want a no related villain who does not change his heart. Carnage would be perfect and would give us the moral dilemma of him not having a conscience at all unlike all the other villains.
 
Kraven is just as evil. He has no morals or conscience,just his drive to hunt and kill. No society rules apply to his law of jungle code.

Mysterio. Psychopath with a vivid imagination. Mentally tortures Spidey.
 
Is it just me or does Tobey Maguire seem younger or at least like he hasn't really aged much at all.
 
He looks better now than what he did in 2007. Lets hope he maintains this image.

Yeah... I think they will take a page out of that TAS episode where Hydroman is obsessed with MJ. Spidey will sort of be the body guard. Maybe the father is disowned by his daughter and becomes Vulture as a result. We'll see. Looks to be a much more prominent role than Gwen Stacy.
