Maxwell "Max" Dillon
- Electro
- Public
Max Dillon was a power company lineman who was struck by lightning while working on live wires, transforming his body into a living battery. Greedy and resentful, he donned a lightning-themed costume and became Electro, one of Spider-Man's oldest and most recurring foes. He has been a staple of the Sinister Six and many other villain teams, and his story includes losing his powers to Parker Industries tech, dying during a failed restoration attempt, and later being revived.
