Early Life[]

Herman Schultz, AKA Shocker, is one of the many villains that Spider-Man fought on his career as the masked vigilante. he used to be a bank robber, having faced the webhead several times, until he was finally arrested, being released on parole some time later.

He was soon found by Spider-Man while fleeing the scene of one of those robberies, being captured soon after. Before being taken into custody again, He tried to warn Spider-Man that the Demons (to whom he refers as "They") would kill him if he didn't robbed banks for them. Days later, he was broken out of his cell by a prison guard who had been corrupted by Demons, who gave him back his equipment before commiting suicide.
