Fun fact: Magneto tried to recruit Electro as a member of the Brotherhood but he was like: “No way dude I ain’t a mutant like you!”
Is there a mutant slur in Marvel Comics?
@@jaredgarcia8638
Kinda yea. Marvel mutants are basically an equivalent of the n word.
Oh I thought the slur was “mutie” I though mutant was equivalent to like black-person or white person.
@@rubiconprime1429 good point
Electro is racist
I love how PS4 Marvel’s Spider-Man’s Electro’s scar on his face is an amazing nod to his iconic starfish mask.
He had it in the Brand New Day/Grim Hunt era as well. That's where they adopted the design from, I believe.
I want to see that Electro evolve to pure energy like he wanted.
@@ellbent To overpowered
So basically if electro had a better understanding of his powers, he would be a power house? Awesome electric characters are so under appreciated.
I honestly think that’s how most people would turn out if they actually got powers 😂
@@sweatshopkids yeah, but this guy controls electricity, so he would be on a whole other level...
Lightning in my hands! Lightning in my hands! 😎
That's always what I thought
The ability to control electricity is one of the most underrated powers ever!
I'm a fan of his classic look too, you can't go wrong with the classics.
@@petrutorlac7840 it was awesome especialy when he got venomized it was terrafiying
Okay but lineman work pays really well because of the risk. If he’d have kept working and charged more for being immune to the dangers of the job, he’d be living the sweet life.
The point is almost every spider-man villain could be good or not commit crimes if they were more responsible
Boss: "Oh you almost got toasted to death? Ok. But will you be here tomorrow morning?
Max: "Uhh..."
Boss: "Good, now get back to work!
Max: "But..."
Boss: "And the time you were out I'll tax off your paycheck, people could've thought I don't pay for your safety"
@@TheOfficialPYTC pretty sure that's the point of literally every villain ever, even with bad people in real life.
I don't think that's exclusive to Spidey, my dude.
I never liked Electros mask but his new mask being made of electricity in No Way Home is much better
Just don't forget his name or birthday.
@@anubusx or have cameras focused on you and not him
Reminds me a lot of spectacular Spider-man's Electro.
No Way Home did Electro justice. Hell it did EVERYONE justice. If you catch my drift ;)
@@connordougherty9860 honestly the only villains I liked it no way home were otto and norman
I like that origin where it was a freak accident with a bunch of electric eels in a lab, I remember spectacular Spider-Man doing that origin well
They actually also did that in the Amazing Spider Man 2
Fun fact: since his origin makes no sense, it was later retconned, that unbeknownst to everyone, including Electro himself his powers were actually latent mutant abilities that were only awakened by the electrical accident (because of the powers being electricity based.) This is also how he didn't die during said accident.
I mean that's more of a reveal than a retcon. But that makes so much more sense tho
Electro is definitely one of the underrated Spider-Man villains
@M V no, he is underrated.
The most people have seen him in action is in the amazing spider man 2 movie. And that had not so great writing for the character.
Before then the best we got was the animated series electro i.e. Spectacular Spider-Man, the original spiderman animated series etc
He's not really a fan favorite villain, unless he actually is and I've been living under a rock, then that would be shocking. (Hehe get it?... Ok)
@@JstormZx hes loved
@@Ahzuv ah okay then.
@@JstormZx i dont see many epople saying electro sucks or just nobody talking about him, for me thats mostly vulture and sandman
I think Kraven is Spiderman's most underrated villain. He's fairly strong, a top fighter, and a central character in one of the best Spiderman stories, but was made into a joke in the ultimate universe.
Let us never forget, that Electro was the catalyst that brought an Avengers team together.
I thought that was Loki? Or did he have something to do with that prior
@@2saintlovature Loki was responsible for the formation of the original avengers team, however, Electro was responsible for bringing together the 2011(I think) iteration of the new Avengers (though they were just a regular avengers team, it had Cap, Iron man, Hawkeye, etc.)
@@rubiconprime1429 the New Avengers incarnation of the mid 2000 or so. By 2011 the Avengers and X-Men were fighting over the Phoenix Force
@@luisalejandrolopezbuendia9686 whoops
Wasn't he judt being payed by someone tho?
Idk why people didn't like the last look, he literally turned into electricity.
it was a good and logical remake, i agree with you.
Besides he literally can travel through wires and circuits to other places and reform his body out of nothing
@@dangerber23 exactly! The new suit looks like a regular guy.
Finally someone praising that look.
not to mention the dubstep potential
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR A HISTORY OF ELECTRO FOR YEARS- Thank You Variant!!!
I must say, I much rather prefer Electro's comic suit as opposed to that discount Dr. Manhattan look they gave him in TASM 2
I think his spectacular Spider-Man look was the best
It wasn’t bad plus him falling in with the eels and making him look like an eel was cool
I thought electro's design in TASM 2 looked more menacing and evil, especially them eyes. And the neurons glowing in his head made him look powerful, but i respect your opinion
Electro is one of those Spider-Man villains that marvel has heavily underutilized in the comics.
I may not like the version of electro we got in the Amazing Spider-Man movie, but the powers he displayed were closer to the potential this villain has and is why I believe he is one of the heroes deadliest foes.
Electro has always been my personal favorite villain. I even liked his 2014 look since I mostly read the Ultimate comics growing up.
I loved the blue electro look
I swear Electro is the only White guy in comics to have electric powers. Like no joke I can think of Black Lightning and Static shock for DC but literally just Electro for Marvel.
Livewire
@@andick00 lazers are light, not electricity
Lightning Lad from DC was originally white, but was retconned to be black in recent years. I don't usually mind those kinds of retcons because I'm all for modernizing characters that were created in the '40s or '60s (which were ridiculously white for obvious reasons), but find it hilarious that they picked Lightning Lad of all characters to do this with. They could've gone with, say, Saturn Girl or Matter-Eater Lad or anyone else. Or just made Lightning Lad another race or ethnicity. I mean, not everything's black and white. Literally.
The guy who introduced that iteration of the Legion of Super-Heroes also created Miles Morales, incidentally, who has bioelectricity powers and is heavily inspired by Static (he's even named after the Milestone imprint that published Static Shock). I think the most commonly accepted reasoning for the prevalence of black comic book characters with electrical powers is that Storm was very successful (even though her power wasn't electrokinesis, but weather manipulation, which included lightning) and everyone wanted to capitalize on that fame by replicating the general aesthetic. Likewise with Black Lightning, whose power may have been a coincidence, but the ones who followed surely weren't. It's the same reason there were so many skateboarding black superheroes in the '80s and '90s (which Dwayne McDuffie, who happened to create Static and Night Thrasher (examples of both tropes), wrote a very critical essay about).
Anyway, to give another example of a white electric superhero, there is Cole MacGrath from the first two inFAMOUS games (not a comic book character, I guess, but the cutscenes were basically comics and he did have a tie-in comic book). Surge from an iteration of the New Mutants isn't a "white guy," but she is East Asian. There are also Crystal of the Inhumans, Thor, and Shazam, though the latter two also have a lot more going for them than just lightning.
Electro is probably one of my favorite Spider-Man villains
Mine to
Great timing
What I love about Spider man’s rouge’s is they are all super threats to any Marvel hero and the world.
Hi yess I been waiting for this I watched 54 of ya vids
Hey. Big fan of the channel. Would you guys be open to doing a top 10 origins episode. I think that would be sick and I’m curious to hear your opinions.
Aaron, you need to start telling us where you get those wonderful t-shirts...& do they offer hoodie versions of them as well?
Never had a real strong point of his character like Doc Ock or Goblin...kind of pedestrian...awesome power and look.
YESSSSSSS!!!! FINALLY I'VE WAITED FOR THIS VIDEO I'VE ASKED OVER AND OVER AND NOW IT'S HERE!!!! ⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡
Great rundown of Electro have to agree with not being a fan of the Amazing Spiderman 2 movie character hopefully it will be better in NWH great channel have a great one 🤙🤙🤙
Can you do history of the Elementals, Cyclone and Sandman along with Kurt Conners the Lizard, Rhino, Kraven the Hunter, Chameleon, Scorpion and the Human Fly along with Morbius, Alistair Smythe the Ultimate Spider Slayer and Loxias_Crown AKA Hunger?
Who gives a crap about the Human Fly
Bro thanks I feel so enlighten 😂
Are you going to do history of Marvel's Sandman and Kurt Conners the Lizard next along with Morlun who could possibly make a Cameo appearance in Spider-Man No Way Home?
The best version of his origin comes from the Spectacular Spider-man animated series
Awesome
perfectly timed video, like all things should be
I love the over explanation of everything in old comic book writing.
Can you make a top 10 spiderman artists video
Please do an Electro vs Livewire episode.
Man, his Spectacular Spider-Man origin is so much better
Agreed and the design keep the iconic look but making it badass and mondern at the same time.
I like how strong he is than theres his costume making him look like a D-list villain
That'd be a pretty smart misdirection tactic if he were more knowledgeable about and skilled with his powers when he designed the costume. Honestly, a lot of Spider-Man villains may seem underpowered from his interactions with them or how they utilize them, but if they were given to people as smart as Peter Parker is, they'd be absurdly powerful. Hydro-Man, for example, is just brimming with bottled-up potential, but the man himself doesn't really know how to apply it. Or just doesn't have the ambition.
Yellow electro>blue electro
After all the Spider-Man themed episode, can you do a full history of Superboy as an honor of the death of superboy in young justice?
Fun fact: punisher tried to kill electro once...with rubber bullets
Frank did try to kill Norman Osborn so why not have him try to kill Electro because...... why not
Can you do the midnight sons history of
Spiderman saying if he was in a movie he would yell "it's the butler" is funny af
Electro has always been one of my favorite Spider-Man villains. Though, I do have to agree with you about the changes they made in the movie. It didn't like that. It didn't look like the classic Electro that I like. I'm glad they changed the look for the Spider-Man: No Way Home movie. That was a cool update to the look!
Good heavens! The Butler!
Ay where's Luffy to give electro the hands?
This is a DC question but I wanted to put it on a current video. Can you do a video on Kal Kent?
Sweet 👍
The new thing Foxx’s Electro has in the trailer which is metal and goes over his chest looks a lot like the OG comic villains apparatus
Video idea: Ghost Rider vs Silver Surfer
Can u make a video on the son of hulk skaar Like a history of or origin video?
Electro vs Black Lightning.
I liked the ultimate Spider-Man game when electro absorbed so much electricity from times square he turned blue... Where I always thought tasm movies got their inspiration
The wait is killing me
Can you do history of the Justice Society of America and the Seven Soldiers of Victory?
Can you do Origins of The Lizard please?
He is one of spider-man original villains.
To be honest I like how he is blue in the comics rather the movie. I like now in no way home that he is using some kind of electric wiring with a arc reactor in the core somewhat like he did in the comics minus the arc reactor. Plus I’m pretty sure electro was Spider-Man’s first super-powered villain
Do Origin of Big Wheel
So excited to see his classic version rather than the ultimate one.
No disrespect I just preferred old school.
I didn't like his classic starfish mask I always thought it looked too goofy but now that it's made of pure electricity in No Way Home I'm honestly more excited to see it maybe well see him supersize the mask around his face and throw like a giant ninja star
Arris, why haven't you talked about DC Super Hero Girls? The first season is already on Netflix.
“Spider-man no way home less than a week away…”
Dude it’s almost finally here and feels unreal.
I like Electro's origin story in the 90s animated show. It was multipart epic arc, pretty awesome.
At least now makes sense why the new electro has wires on his suit. Awsome
Yo I got that shirt mane
Can you do an episode on the avatar the next shadow comics
It was issue #422 of “Amazing Spider-Man” not issue #66
The CGI Spider-Man TV show was pretty cool and had a sick version of Electro too
Yep!
Can u make one with demogoblin next?
Can you do ragman origins
That electro custom art is hard!To bad he didn’t look like that in amazing Spider-Man 2!
If you guys haven’t you should do a history of kraven the hunter because there is rumours he is going to be one of the main villains in the spider man 2 ps5 and also rumoured to have a sony movie
Please do the klarion the witch boy.
When does the Spider-Man movie come out?
5:40 I have that issue
Do a Origin story of Spectre
I'm actually more of a fan of the Ultimate/TASM2 versions.
YES! THEY FINALLY MADE THE VIDEO, *THIS* IS "TOO AWESOME!😁
I like his video game suit
*Total Livewire he is.*
👁️👄👁️
Get out
Imagine if he decided to be a good guy
Was there a variation in 90's spiderman cartoon where electro was related to hydra and red skull?
I no it off topic but I’d like to see a Origin episode on Kratos God of war
Another good video would be to show how he became the Living Lazer
Does all origin flashbacks back than always start with “nobody knows that i used to be..…job …..name ……” ?
Wasn’t the lighting bolt that him was from Odin? Correct me if I’m wrong
How long have you known Electro?
Me: Since when I started watching spiderman as a kid.
It's about time you did the origin of Marvel's Electro since he made his live action debut in the Amazing Spider-Man 2 movie
Chilllllllll it’s not that deep
Electro’s Omega-level!
So what happened to Electro in that Marvel alternate earth where there's no electricity?
If only he be covered by ambiguous substance he will be come the flash
So.... Electro doesn't ever take a bath.
"Heh, heh, heh, heh! Tonight! ELECTRO DANCES WITH THE GODS! HAHAHAHA! WAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"
I loved electro in Spider-Man the animated series
Pls do sandman marvel comic origin
Wow
Spider-Man 2: The Electro Boogaloo
Electro is definitely super underrated
Naw I think he's fairly used as a apart of spidermans rougues gallery
So when are you going to do history of DC Despero since he is one of the biggest Justice League Villians from the Comics and he is playing a major role in the beginning of Season 8 of the CW Flash Armageddon 5 episodes event?
Maybe this Wednesday as the crossover ends but I dont have hopes for thr origions of desperate since NWH hope train is on
Marvel greatness
Do Spider-Woman (616) Origins & Power's.
