Biography

In their hideout, Kingpin and Smythe are demonstrating the power of Prometheum X, the most powerful element ever discovered, to some potential buyers. Prometheum X doesn't radiate until heated, allowing anyone to hold it in their pocket without damage. Less than a microgram allows for a spectacular explosion. On J3TV Jameson makes a public statement telling that Spider-Man in fact did not steal the Prometheum X and that he had been fooled by Eddie Brock. Jameson regretfully withdraws the reward. Kingpin sees the broadcast and is worried that Brock could somehow trace the theft back to him but Smythe has the perfect man to take care of Brock.

The Shocker’s shocking shock-powers

On his way home Brock blames Spider-Man for all his problems such as the loss of his job, reputation, health, and now his apartment. Spider-Man sneaks into Brock's apartment to find the film containing pictures of Rhino. Spider-Man finds the film in Brock's showerhead and is about to leave when he overhears a mysterious voice talking to Brock outside. A new villain calling himself The Shocker threatens Brock for the shuttle photos. Shocker can shoot powerful blasts from his gauntlets but Spider-Man easily avoids them. Brock manages to run away as Shocker knocks a pile of rubble on Spider-Man.

Shocker leaves the scene believing he has won, but Spider-Man burst out from the rubble and follows the new villain. When Shocker disappears in a house Spider-Man uses his Spider-Sense to find which door he went in. Spider-Man finds a heavy metal door and considers crawling through an air vent, but that's the old Spider-Man talking. Spider-Man smashes down the door to find Shocker and Smythe where a battle ensues. Shocker is unable to even hit the wallcrawler and Spider-Man manages to take the Prometheum X.

Jameson drives Spider-Man to an old church, with Brock close behind believing that Jameson plotted with Spider-Man. Smythe appears and offers Jameson in exchange for the Prometheum X. Spider-Man agrees and Jameson takes his son away. Shocker then appears and ambushes Spider-Man. After fighting a losing battle Shocker eventually flees to the bell tower.

Shocker's Gloves are Shot-ou

With both distracted Brock tackles the two superpowered fighters. Spider-Man angrily puts Brock into a web cocoon and hangs him under the bell. Spider-Man then smashes Shocker's gauntlets and hangs him over the side claiming he has the power to do whatever he wants now. He then flashes back to his Uncle Ben and his famous words. Suddenly realizing what he's doing, Spider-Man stops but then the suit pushes Shocker off the side all by itself. Spider-Man saves Shocker just before he hits the ground.

Spider-Man swings through the city happy to be in his old costume, awaiting his date with Mary Jane Watson. However, he is interrupted by the sight of Rhino on a nearby roof. Spider-Man manages to subdue Rhino but is ambushed by Shocker. Spider-Man is knocked into a Daily Bugle billboard where Shocker and Rhino prepare to attack again. Venom appears and throws Rhino to the side and defeats Shocker. Spider-Man gets up thinking he still has the two villains to beat but finds them both webbed up already, just not his.

Shocker is later broken out of prison by Kingpin to become a member of his new team, the Insidious Six. Shocker is the most irritable of the Six, constantly getting mad at Doc Ock, Spider-Man, and Rhino. After Spider-Man tricks Rhino, Rhino rips Shocker’s costume. Shocker is defeated when Spidey throws him out of a window and into water, causing Shocker's suit to explode.

He later appears in Immortal Vampire, working for Kingpin to get Morbius’s corpse. His last appearance was in Six Forgotten Warriors where he was a member of the Insidious Six again.
