History
Electro used to be a college student named Max Dillon, who attended Empire State University with Peter Parker. Max Dillon was a "geek" and was the target of bullies at the university who were usually jocks. One day the jocks started being nice to him and invited him to a party. Thinking they actually meant it, he attended their party. At the party, the jocks asked him if he wanted to join their brotherhood, Max said yes, but then they ridiculed him. Max became very upset by this and left the party, he ran into the city where he threw a can of soda he had from the party, at a billboard. This caused the electricity to hit Max and electricute him, then he was transformed into Electro. Electro went back to the party and attacked everyone out of anger, but Spiderman came and fought Electro. Electro attacked one of his bullies by shocking him with electricity, Spiderman tried to intervene and stop Electro, but it was too late and the kid had died. Spiderman found no other way to defeat Electro, so he transferred his energy through a cable and made Electro part of the city's electricity.
