About this deal

Oh, boy. In fairness, this version of Red Skull hails from the early days of Toy Biz Marvel Legends, but even by Series 5, which this guy was part of, sculpting and articulation had graduated to what fans would come to expect from the line. When he was fully charged, Electro was extremely sensitive to anything that may "short circuit" him, such as water. Later, due to the experiments Spider-Man conducted on him, Electro could lose control over his powers, which caused him to burn out and collapse. [29] Paraphernalia Transportation Sometime later, Doctor Octopus, in his plan to be remembered as the man who saved Earth, offered the chance to stop the Greenhouse Effect, as well as speed it up, using a special device connected with different satellites in Earth's orbit. Disguised as Al Gore, Chameleon tried to accelerate the decision of the world's leaders on the matter, but was uncovered by Spider-Man, who interrupted the scene along with the Avengers. When the Chameleon was freed, he arrived in the Mediterranean on a meeting with the rest of the team. The Avengers followed them and arrived, fighting the Sinister Six, and while they were all defeated by the villains, the price of the battle was Electro, who was sent to space by Thor. [26] Electrocution: The electric flux of Electro's skin was such that when his electric charge was at a maximum, a person touching him was in danger of being electrocuted.

Electromagnetic Propulsion via Electrical Lines and Bridges: Electro could propel himself along the accompanying magnetic lines of force in objects that have great electrical potential, such as high-tension electrical lines. He generated light, eddying electrical fields around his legs, which developed an intense, opposing magnetic field that could support him above the electric cable's magnetic field. By creating imbalances in his field, he could ride along on magnetic ripples at speeds of up to 140 miles per hour, the maximum speed at which he could still breathe unaided. He could sometimes create electrostatic bridges to traverse upon, although the expenditure of energy is enormous. To a limited degree, he could also mimic Spider-Man's wall-crawling ability, using his electromagnetic field to become attracted to the fields of iron bars in buildings.

Metal Ionization: Electro was taught by Doctor Octopus during a stint in prison that he could ionize metals. Electrical Detection: Electro's electrical powers also granted him certain sensory and manipulative abilities. By "feeling" the course of electricity through the circuitry of any electrically powered device, Electro could override the system and make the device obey his mental commands. Electro could disconnect alarm systems, control computers in a limited way, or overload any electrically controlled system that was insufficiently shielded. A continuity error in Despicable Deadpool #297, released long time after the events of Amazing Spider-Man (Vol. 4) #17, shows Electro alive and as part of the patrons of the supervillain gambling ship Queen Kathleen. What's worse is Hasbro offered this figure in two versions - one normal and one in Emma's diamond form - and both were disasters.

Hasbro Marvel Legends 3.75-inch Retro 375 Collection Electro

Collect to build Marvel’s Venom figure! This Peter Parker figure is part of a Marvel Legends Build-A-Figure collection that includes 6 other Marvel Legends figures.MARVEL COMIC-INSPIRED DESIGN: This Retro 375 Collection Marvel’s Electro figure has premium design, detail, and articulation for posing and display in a Marvel collection. Immunity to Electricity: Electro's body was immune to the effects of its electricity and that of other sources as well. Hence, Electro could not be electrocuted no matter how great the voltage. Marvel Legends has historically struggled with female characters. Until recently, a properly proportioned and functionally articulated female body seemed a unicorn in the line. Electromagnetic Manipulation: An experimental procedure temporarily heightened his powers, allowing Electro to store and absorb a seemingly limitless amount of electricity. He could fly by generating a massive field of electricity which could propel him through the air. He also seemed to gain the power of magnetokinesis to a certain degree, allowing him to manipulate magnetic fields and move objects in a manner similar to that of Magneto, and could overcome his old weakness to water by using the electromagnetic fields around him to vaporize water before it could touch him. He was able to defeat Nate Grey by manipulating the bio-electric currents in the human brain to turn Nate's own psionic powers against him and do the same to make Spider-Man beg. Presumably, had he further explored the implications of this power, he would have been able to control people's entire bodies this way as well, and might have been able to control machines in a similar way. He was also able to painfully paralyze anyone by overcharging their synapses' bio-electrical transmissions. However, Electro somehow seems to have lost these new abilities after he threw himself into the Hudson River, resulting in an explosion.

Unable to best the wall-crawler on his own, Electro often sought strength in numbers. Early in his career, he and five other members of Spider-Man's rogues gallery united under the leadership of Doctor Octopus - brilliant, respected scientist turned tentacled terror. The inaugural incarnation of the Sinister Six also included the shifty Sandman; the illusion-casting Mysterio; the high-flying, lowdown Vulture; and Kraven the Hunter. The villains' master plan: Pummel the wall-crawler one by one until one of them would manage to defeat him. The outcome: Spidey 6, bad guys 0. [14] Emissaries of Evil [ ] PREMIUM ARTICULATION AND DETAILING: This quality 3.75-inch Legends Series Retro 375 Collection Marvel’s Electro figure features multiple points of articulation and is a great addition to any action figure collection. Disruption of Wall-Crawling Abilities: Electro's powers also can disrupt Spider-Man's electrostatic ability to cling to walls. Something is happening with Wolverine's chin, but who's going to tell him? After the license for Marvel Legends transitioned from Toy Biz to Hasbro, there was something of an adjustment period. Up until Superior Spider-Man #1, Electro has been a member of every incarnation of the Sinister Six thus far, including the Sinister Seven, Sinister Twelve, and the Superior Six. Despite this distinction, he has never commanded any of these groups.

After the events of The Six, Electro was hired by Doctor Doom amongst others to disrupt the wedding of Reed Richards and Susan Storm. [15] Later he was defeated by Daredevil and sought the help of other super-villains when he created his own Emissaries of Evil. [2] Ignominious Defeats [ ]

Marvel Database | Fandom Maxwell Dillon (Earth-616) | Marvel Database | Fandom

As the villain Electro, Max Dillon wields full control over electricity in his never-ending quest to defeat Spider-Man! Because of Spider-Man having subdued Electro and turned him into his personal puppet, Max lost credibility as a supervillain. He decided to perform an act similar to when he caused the massive breakout in the Raft and stormed the Conway Penitentiary. However, his powers went out of control and destroyed the entire building. [29] Electro was once again brought out of retirement by the Rose, who offered Dillon the chance at an experimental procedure to greatly enhance his abilities in exchange for his services as an underworld enforcer. Dillon agreed, sensing the opportunity to rise above his past failures. After undergoing the procedure and dispatching several members of the True Believers, an offshoot of the Hand at the request of the Rose, Dillon returned to his original plan of taking over the New York City power supply. Once again defeated by Spider-Man, who had donned an insulated suit, a frustrated Dillon threw himself into the Hudson River, apparently killing himself. [22] Sinister Twelve [ ] Each 6-inch-scale figure features detailed design, is easily poseable with premium articulation, and includes a Build-A-Figure component. When you collect them all you can assemble a Marvel’s Venom figure! (Each figure sold separately. Subject to availability.)No action figure in the entire history of Marvel Legends exemplifies the absolute helplessness with the female form than Emma Frost. Emma combines the ongoing and outright confusion over anatomy, the ridiculous use of articulated joints in arms and legs that were too small to support or hide them, and carelessness with the overall quality of the product. CHOKING HAZARD: This product may contain small parts. It is not a toy and only suitable for the persons over 15 years old. Lightning Bolt Projection: The simplest manifestation was the emission of a lightning-like electric arc from his fingertips, which could propagate through air or other conducting mediums. This discharge, whose total voltage can be regulated within certain limits, travelled at the speed of lightning, about 150,000 feet per second. The course of the electrostatic bolt, like lightning, did not always follow a straight line since it could be influenced by conducting substances like metal or other electrical fields. If his target was not grounded, his electrostatic bolt would have had little effect. The maximum effective range of his bolts was about 100 feet.
