Synopsis
The Shocker? Back!? It's been 26 issues since we've seen ol' Shocky, but he's lookin' for the same damn tablet that everyone else is lately. Apparently, the newspapers published that Captain Stacy had it. Shocker breaks in, hurts the Cap'n and snatches it.
Pete can barely take the time to battle the Shocker, but he does anyway. Fortunately the fight runs short and he makes it in time to see Aunt May off to one of her near-constant trips to Florida.
He bumps into Gwen and promptly gets into a fight with Flash. If I could butt-in for a moment. Gwen is really unsupportive in this situation. Flash and Peter have a long history of bad blood, and she immediately jumps in defending Flash. She doesn't even blink when Flash basically says that he'd love to bang her right there.
Pete's so glum he races to find the Shocker and kick his ass. He does.
Notes
- That's a picture of the Shocker's crotch. Enjoy.
- His boots are really just Santa Claus boots, aren't they? So sad, when super-villains can't even afford a custom made suit anymore...
- The Shocker is a confusing villain to me. How is he actually doing that whole vibration thing? I get that if he punches you it comes with an added vibro-boost. If you punch him, he vibrates away some of the force. Sure, okay. But his ability to shoot vibrations over a distance. What is that!? Is that a thing?
- I'd also like to comment on the "vibrates his body to deflect a punch" thing. His vibrations are so strong he can break through concrete and steel. Yet you're telling me that he doesn't shatter every bone in his body when applying the same force to himself?
