Description
First appearing in Amazing Spider-Man #46, Herman Schultz 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 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 uses his gauntlets to escape from prison and becomes the supervillain known as "The Shocker". He defeats Spider-Man in their first confrontation (since Spider-Man was at a disadvantage due to having a bad left arm sprain from an earlier battle with The Lizard in Amazing Spider-Man #44-45) during a robbery. While robbing a bank, he was later beaten and sent back to prison by Spider-Man pinning Schultz's thumbs away from the gauntlets' triggers with the webbing then knocked him out. Sadly like Scorpion, The Shocker feels like a B-List Spider-Man villain even in the Ultimate Universe he was treated badly (until one issue where Shocker kidnaps him, unmasks him and beats him up senselessly).
