Herman Schultz (Earth-21997)

Herman Schultz is Spider-Man's most recurring foe, battling the arachnid avenger under the "Shocker" alter-ego. Despite initially being portrayed as a joke (repeatedly being beaten and imprisoned by Spider-Man with ease) Herman gradually becomes more sadistic and more of a threat. He is responsible for a train derailing, almost killing all those onboard untill Spider-Man was able to save them, to provide a distraction for a bank robbery. He also successfully caught Spider-Man and tortured him using his gauntlets.
