As per Marvel Comics, Elector has dubbed as Spider-Man's most common enemy. Along with Spider-Man, he also shares a negative bond with the Daredevil. As per Marvel Comics, he is a former lineman for an electric company, who turned to a life of crime after being struck by lightning while working on a power life. The accident made him a living electric capacitor.
