This is going to be my last entry to the Art Challenge because it’s coming to a close… Herman Schultz is a very angry man with a tragic origin that made him and his little brother Marty orphaned at a young age. He’s a professional criminal that made so many criminal records. After one robbery gone wrong, Herman was arrested again but was sent to the prison workshop, where he used the resources around him to project and build gauntlets that sent out shock waves which quickly opened safes as well, giving himself a one-up on the authorities. The Shocker had the ability to shock his enemies with his handheld vibro-shock units, but because the vibrations were so fierce, he wore a heavily insulated suit. With his brilliant talents as an inventor, he developed a pair of gauntlets designed to release shock waves. Calling himself the Shocker, he went on to face Spider-Man several times as one of Spider-Wolf's first 'super' adversaries. Early on in his career Shocker often acted as either a thief or subordinate to more prominent mob bosses such as Silvermane. During one of his team-ups with Dr. Octopus, he joined a new Masters of Evil and participated in a raid on the Freedom Fighters. When Octopus tried to order Shocker and the others to continue fighting the heroes but instead, they turned on him. They did not wish to harm the people who had helped save their lives and Shocker helped chase Octopus out of the building. Black Cat tried to recruit other villains, but they declined because of her affiliation to Electro. Cat then thwarted Parker Industries' plan to create a prison for super-villains by trying to kill Electro but was stopped by Spider-Wolf.
