Villian Name:The Shocker/Shocker
Real Name:Herman Schultz
Age:25(kinda guessing)
Picture/Description:
Personality:While most Spider-Man villains usually shift from their original goals to a vendetta against Spider-Man, the Shocker is still concerned largely with making a living and protecting his reputation. As such, he usually behaves in a more professional manner than the majority of his maniacal peers
Alignment/Rank:Villian
Powers:None, Has a suit deflects blows and makes it difficult to grasp and gauntlets that shoot concentrated vibrational air blasts
Family:
Background:
Herman Schultz was born in New York City. He was a high school dropout who had brilliant talents as both an inventor and an engineer. Instead of using such talents to gain legitimate employment, he became a successful burglar and (according to him in later stories) the world's best safe-cracker. After finally being caught and incarcerated for his crimes, he developed a pair of gauntlets designed to shoot air blasts, vibrating at high frequency.
Schultz used the gauntlets to escape from prison and became the supervillain known as "The Shocker". He defeated Spider-Man in their first confrontation (Spider-Man lost because he was at a disadvantage due to having a broken arm from his earlier battle with the Lizard), but was later beaten and sent back to prison by Spider-Man (who pinned Schultz's thumbs away from the gauntlets' triggers with his webbing).
The Shocker would go on to prove a constant presence among Spider-Man's gallery of enemies, often as either a thief or subordinate to a more prominent of Spider-Man's foes (notably Wilson Fisk and the Owl). He regularly works either as a member of a team (including Hobgoblin's Sinister Seven, Norman Osborn's Sinister Twelve, Doctor Octopus's most recent Sinister Six, and the Masters of Evil) or in partnership with at least one other villain (previous alliances include Boomerang, The Beetle, Rhino, Leila Davis, Trapster, Hydro-Man, and Speed Demon).
Likely Schultz's most ambitious solo exploit was his attempt to hold the city of New York for ransom by blacking out various electrical grids to spell out his name.
The Shocker found a rare moment of victory over Spider-Man when he teamed up with the Trapster. Sent by the Friends of Humanity to assassinate Paul Stacy, the duo managed to glue Stacy and Spider-Man together and corner them, only to be called off of their assignment moments before finishing them off.
Shocker would later turn on the Trapster at the bequest of Norman Osborn (who sought to have the Trapster eliminated as a potential witness against his recent attempt to frame Spider-Man for murder). Preparing to kill the resigned Trapster in an alley, he was attacked and rendered unconscious at the last minute by Spider-Man (then disguised under the alias of Dusk).
He recently allied himself with Speed Demon of the New Thunderbolts in order to break into a particular well-guarded safe. Though the police arrived at his hide-out in quick pursuit, he was saved by Speed Demon, who dashed in and stole both the loot and Shocker's weapons, removing all traces of evidence (and, unfortunately for Shocker, also keeping the money to fund the Thunderbolt's further activities).
Shortly after, he was terminated as a freelance agent by Hammer Industries and captured by Spider-Man while trying to rob a federal bank alongside Hydro-Man.

lets get the rp started again O.o (If i can use Shocker I am going to start his rp off with saying he escaped/was released from prison{which would be best?} around a month earlier and has yet to steal/kill/be evil... yet >: D(Christmas robbery hehehehe)
