Max Dillion (Version 1.0)

Max Dillion was one day struck by lightning, and gained incredible abilities. Being able to consume and shoot electricity, he became the villainous Electro. Spider-Man fought Electro on many occasions, defeating him every time. Dillion was introduced into the story by the Geek Chorus, a group of Spider-Man fans who wanted to write the "ultimate Spider-Man comic" and needed a villain Spider-Man couldn't beat. Eventually, Dillion joined the Sinister Six, a group of villains previously defeated by Spider-Man who banded together to wreck havoc upon New York City. While fighting Spider-Man, he accidently electrocuted fellow member Swiss Miss, causing an electrical current that killed both of them. After Peter Parker gave up his life as Spider-Man after letting friends and family down, and wanting a life with his lover, Mary Jane Watson, Arachne, the Greek spider legend who gave Parker the gift to become Spider-Man, became infuriated. In an attempt to convince Parker to change his mind, she created worldwide dreams of a power outage, along with all presumably deceased members of the Sinister Six, Dillion included, returning alongside the Green Goblin, also believed dead to form the Sinister Seven, and attack major cities of the world. Dillion was seen electrocuting crowds, attacking city blocks, zapping down buildings, destroying the Eiffel Tower in France and causing fires in Central Park. The Sinister Seven was later believed to have kidnapped Mary Jane Watson, as revenge against Parker/Spider-Man. Parker was initially unable to stop them, as he had lost his powers while giving up his gift, but later returned as Spider-Man. Despite not having his powers, the visions of all Sinister Six members disappeared after Parker fought them.
