When lineman Max Dillon was struck by lightning while on the job, he subsequently gained the powers of a living electrical dynamo. He has gone on to menace society and several members of the Superhero community, most notably Spider-Man.
History
Origin
Electro was born as Maxwell Dillon. His parents, Jonathan and Anita Dillon lived in Endicott, New York. Jonathan was a struggling accountant, which caused the family to often move. This made making friends for Max difficult. When he turned eight, his father abandoned the family entirely. Because of this, Maxwell's mother became very overprotective of him until, some years later, he told her wished to become an electrical engineer. His mother convinced him to take a job as the lineman instead.
While working on a broken power line, Maxwell was struck by lightning. This resulted in a mutagenic change in his nervous system, which basically transformed him in to a walking, breathing electrical capacitor.
Using the name of Electro, Max turned to a life of crime. He chose J. Jonah Jameson as his first victim, breaking in to the Daily Bugle and stealing Jameson's safe. Naturally, Jameson blamed Spider-Man for the robbery, claiming Electro was an alternate identity. This prompted Spider-man to clear his name and to confront Electro. During their first confrontation, Spider-man was nearly killed when he attempted to grab the immensely charged villain. Electro was eventually defeated when Spider-man used a fire hose on him, causing him to short-circuit.
He fought Spider-Man and other heroes countless times. After attempting (and failing) to take New York's power supply, Electro tried to end his criminal career. Eventually, when Kaine started to kill enemies of Spider-Man, Electro feared he was next and quickly joined Mysterio and his Sinister Six The group tried to defeat Kaine but Kaine disappeared and the group disbanded. Electro then went back to normal life.
Powers
Electro has the ability to generate and absorb electricity, and when he is fully charged, his strength and durability is somewhat enhanced till the point where he can take punches from spiderman.Electro also has the ability to fly as seen in Ulitimate Spider-Man. He is able to perform multiple feats with his electric powers, including projecting lightning blasts, electrifying his body so that anyone who touches him will get electrocuted, traveling extremely fast on his own electrical current, clinging to conductive objects by magnetic adhesion, and disabling spider-man's wall-crawling ability by drawing all static electricity out of the area. Despite his potential for being one of the most powerful villians around (possibly on par with Magneto) Electro has never been revered for his intelligence, and has never really understood his own powers well enough to be able to reach his true potential.During his first encounter with spiderman,he almost killed spiderman when spiderman touched him while his body was generating electricity.
