Maxwell "Max" Dillon

Maxwell "Max" Dillon AKA "Electro" is a scientist working at Oscorp Industries and the main antagonist of The Amazing Spider-Man 2.

He had been working at Oscorp for a few years before he was accidently transformed into Electro, giving him the power to harness electricity and used it to his will. He swore revenge on Spider-Man for his transformation, as well as the man who killed his mother.

Loss of his mother
2 years before the events of the film, Max was walking down a dim street with his mother after meeting Norman Osborne for the first time. But they are stopped by a man with a star tattoed on his left hand (the same man who murdered Peter's uncle) who threatens them with a gun unless they give him their money. Max doesn't oblige and tries to disarm the man, but is knocked to the floor in the process. The man aims and fires at Max, but Max's mother takes the bullet. Shocked that he killed an elderly woman, the man runs away as Max weeps over his mother's dead body. From then on, Max swore revenge on the man.

Humiliation and Transformation
Present day, Max is a still working at Oscorp and is a big fan of Spider-Man. He is working with a biological agent that can increase the particles in a living thing. He tests it on a bunch of electric eels in a tank, but nothing happens and he is laughed at. Furious, Max storms out of the building. Later that night, Max goes back to Oscorp and tries the test again. Unbeknowest to him, fellow scientist Alex O' Hirn is testing out a titanium suit which can give the wearer superhuman strength. However, things go wrong, and Alex gets stuck in the suit. As he tries to get out, he knocks over various office supplies and chemicals. Spider-Man, seeing the confusion, thinks that someone is delibrately trashing the Oscorp offices and enters the building to try and stop the man. Unfortunately, he mistakes Max for Alex, and knocks him into the tank of eels. After a brief battle, Spider-Man is battered by Alex, who names himself "Rhino". The next day, Max awakens and climbs out of the eel tank, his skin bright blue and glowing. With so many emotions at once, Max breaks out in a rage and destroys the Oscorp office. Max takes to the streets to test out his powers, before swearing revenge on the people that ruined his life, the robber, Oscorp Industries and Spider-Man. TBC.
