Name: Max Dillon
Alias: Electro
Age: late 20s/early 30s
Gender: Male
Side: Neutral
Appearance:
Height: 5' 11"
Weight: 165 lbs.
Eye Colour: Blue
Hair Colour: Redish Brown
Powers:
*Electro can generate electrostatic energy through his body at a rate of about 1,000 volts per minute and store up to 1,000,000 volts. At ten feet, his maximum charge is more than enough to kill a normal man. Electro can employ this electrostatic energy as lightning arcs from his fingertips at 1,100 feet per second for about 100 feet.
*Electro can also override any electrically-powered device and manipulate it according to his mental commands.
*By using an external electrical power source to recharge his body's energy reserves, Electro could expend electricity indefinitely without diminishing his personal reserves. When he is fully charged, Electro is extremely sensitive to anything that may "short-circuit" him, such as water.
*Electro can propels himself along accompanying magnetic lines of force in objects that have great electrical potential, such as high-tension electrical lines, at speeds of up to 140 miles per hour. He can also create electrostatic bridges to traverse upon, at the cost of a great expenditure of energy.
History/Background:
Maxwell Dillon was a high-wire lineman for New York's major electrical power company. While holding power lines that were still connected to their spool, Dillon was struck by lightning. The unusually configured magnetic field that was generated by the wound spool of one-inch cable and the live, high-tension wires caused a body-wide mutagenic change in his nervous system. This change transformed him into a living, electrical capacitator, powered by the micro-fine rhythmic muscle contractions that normally regulate body temperature. Donning a colorful disguise and calling himself Electro, Dillon decided to use his power for personal gain.
Electro's first and most frequent nemesis is Spider-Man, although he has also fought Daredevil, Captain America, and the Fantastic Four. Not particularly imaginative, Electro generally has employed his powers for robberies, extrotion, or revenge. He has served several prison sentences.
The Rose later agreed to fund an experimental technique that would amplify Electro's abilities, in exchange for Electro's services as an enforcer. Seeing this as a chance to rise above the string of failures that had made up so much of his life, Electro underwent the procedure. After paying off his debt to the Rose by defeating several members of The Hand, a group of ninja assassins who had been interfering in the Rose's operations, Electro attempted to demonstrate his newly amplified powers to the world, once again attempting to take control of New York City's power supply. Wearing an insulated suit, Spider-Man stopped him. Electro, in an effort to make a final grand gesture, Electro threw himself into the Hudson River while his body was highly charged, seemingly killing himself in an explosion.
Somehow surviving, Electro resurfaced later as part of the re-formed Sinister Six. His powers had seemingly reverted to their pre-amplification level, and he wore a new blue-and-white costume. When Venom betrayed his fellow Sinister Six members, attempting to kill them one by one, he attacked Electro and left him for dead. Once again, Electro survived, and when he next appeared had returned to his yellow-and green-costume.
Electro recently joined the Sinister Twelve, assembled by the Green Goblin, and later, separately, was hired by Brainchild to free Karl Lykos (a.k.a. Sauron) from The Raft, a maximum-security prison for supervillians. After causing a riot, Electro tried to run away with his waitress girlfriend, but was captured by the Avengers.
