9) Shocker
Wait, didn’t we see something like this pretty recently? And didn’t it fall spectacularly flat? Yes and yes, but nothing about Electro was done right in Amazing Spider-Man 2. Fortunately, having a character like Shocker in the villain roster allows for this story to get a rather cheeky second attempt.
After spending an early part of his super-villain life as somewhat of a joke, Herman Schultz is a character that’s developed a more menacing side over recent comic book stories. He’d make a good starting point for a fledgling hero like Parker and, if used properly, could become a recurring character who turns himself into a greater threat as Peter gains stature.
His involvement in various teams like the Sinister Six also makes him a good candidate, as he’d open early doors to the team finally getting a place on the big screen once the franchise is established.
