Maxwell Dillon (Earth-981)

Enter Electro
Max Dillon was an electrician. While attempting to repair a broken powerline during a freak lightning storm, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck Max Dillion, which caused him to lose his balance and fall to his death. In the process Max Dillon gained the power to control and create electricity when he was struck by lightning while in contact with power lines that were still connected to their spool. He was rendered comatose and hospitalized, with his girlfreind Francine paying his hospital bills.

Eventually Max regained consciousness as the electronics around him began to flicker and short circuit. In a fit of rage, Max fleed the hospital and began to notice his hands were charging with electricity. When a man mugged him in an alley, he inadvertently gave him a powerful electric shock, killing him instantly. Max then sees the emergency exit that's going up a building nearby, he put's both of his hands on it and then suddenly transformed his whole body into electrical energy and teleports untop of the roof of the building and tries to escape the scene while getting the grasp on his newfound powers.

Meeting Spider-Man
Max later arrives at a nearby Carnival in Coney Island where he tried to absorb power, causing panic among bystanders and police to show up. He inadvertently caused a small power surge, and destroyed cell phones and laptops in the area. He quickly apologized and ran off, ashamed and scared. Max then spots his girlfreind Francine in the crowd from a distance who looked utterly terrorfied at the sight of him, Max takes a step forward in her direction until all of the sudden, Spider-Man attacked him. Confused and angry, repeatedly told him to leave him alone, before being forced to fight back, the resulting fight caused collatoral damage around them and was putting everyone at the carnival in harms way, forcing Spider-Man to take him down with a fire hose.

While he was unconssoius, a black van pulls up and four armed men in suits grabbed Dillon and put him in the back of the van and drove off to a unisclosed location. The next day, Max later wakes up in a dark room where he finds out that he was placed under the care of Norman Osborn who convinces Max to hunt down and deliver Spider-Man too him, dead or alive so that he could find a cure for his powers. When Max asked him how can he find the hero, Norman instructed him to use Peter Parker who takes pictures of Spider-Man for the Daily Bugle. After being released to accomplish his task, Max was given a suit to protect those around him from the electricity coming from him due to his body constantly emitting electrical energy.

Attack on New York
Later, Max attacks the Daily Building and demands that J. Jonah Jameson tells him where Peter is, as he knows Peter photographs Spider-Man. Not long after, Spider-Man arrived again and attempted to apologize for attacking him earlier, but Max attacked him. In the midst of battle, Max dubbed himself "Electro". After a breif fight, Max teleports to the Oscorp power plant and attempted recharge himself, taking out all the power in the city. Spider-Man arrived and they began a lengthy fight, taking out much of the plant in the process. Ultimately, Spider-Man was able to defeat him by overcharging him and causing him to explode, which restored all the power in the city. It's currently unknown if the overcharging and subsequent explosion killed him or not.

Powers
Electrostatic Energy Generation: As the result of being struck by lightning, this altered his DNA and supercharged his cells, granting Dillon electrokinetic abilities and augmenting his physiology into beyond peak human condition.
 * Electrokinesis: Dillon developed the need to absorb energy for sustenance, but could also manipulate the electricity he absorbed or was in contact with and can employ his electrostatic energy in a number of ways. Max was able to control and siphon electricity, as well as to transform into electricity. He has used it to conjure lightning blasts of various intensities and lengths and, while siphoning the entire city. In addition, he can electrify his touch enough to electrocute a person to death if they came into physical contact with him. If Max is completely drained of his power, or exposed to water, he reverts to her solid form and cannot use most of her abilities, nor will he then be able to transform into living electricity.
 * Levitation: Max is able to use the electrical energy to rise into the air.
 * Electrical Mimicry: Max can completely transform into living electricity and travel through anything that will conduct an electric current, such as circuits and wiring. In his electrical state, Max can possess and control any device that conducts electricity, such as electronic screens and audio systems, as well as cause a blackout through an entire city.
 * Electrical Detection: Max's electrical powers also granted him certain sensory and manipulative abilities. By "feeling" the course of electricity through the circuitry of any electrically-powered device, Max could override the system and make the device obey his mental commands.
 * Recharging: Max's powers depends on the amount of energy he possesses, and like a battery, his powers are not indefinite. To re-power herself she must absorb a vast amount of electricity from an available power source.
