Who is the Shocker in Spider-Man?
How did Shocker get his powers?
Are Shocker and Electro the same?
What happened to Shocker in Spider-Man: Homecoming?
I would like to think that I answered all of these hot google questions for you here in this video.....but I definitely did not
Hey folks it's me Haussmann Comics, this is my brand new channel where I am breaking away from the Batman Countermeasures and trying to reach a different and wider audience. But it's the same Haussmann Comics Goodness over here,
The Music here is from the mega man X series. 2, 3 and 8 specifically
All Art is obviously owned by the copyright holders, in this case it would be Marvel Comics and Disney, but I suppose there a few other things tossed in there....so like...Sony and Cartoon Network I think?
Shocker as a villain who is actively afraid of being killed by the more deadly marvel heroes is actually really interesting. I wish we could get more of that! it would make him a much more compelling goon.
Right? He's terrified but this is the only life he feels he can have. So he keeps doing it even though he could be killed.
I agree. Deadly Foes was a great mini.
I always had a soft spot for shocker, even before I understood what exactly his powers were and his professional attitude towards supervillainy, something about him just kind of spoke to me.
I miss the days when Shocker was a formidable adversary.
I do think the original Ultimate universe had a hand in giving their idea that the character was a joke as well.
Yeah. In the "proper" Marvel universe, Shocker was always a B-tier villain, but he was never treated as a complete joke character like "The Legion of Losers". And his neurotic fears of super-heroes only added to his depth.
Funny you should say that. I have a follow-up video about Ultimate Shocker coming tomorrow where I say the same thing
I was today years old when I learned that the Shocker's powers aren't electricity based. Always assumed the padding was insulation to prevent him getting electrified.
Love the humor you injected into this, including the nod to your "tired bit"
Thanks
The Superior Foes of Spider-Man is a series that many people recomend with the Shoker. Also, have you considered doing the early evolution of Scott Lang Ant Man? His character really fits this format since he had so much potencial at his early years while at the same time he only had sporadic appearences
Superior foes was such a great series.
And I absolutely have considered Scott Lang. I took a good look at him while making my Taskmaster video. Good call, thanks
You've become one of my favorite people to listen to doing this. So much so that I try to go back and listen to your past vids as well.
That's awesome to hear. Thank you very much. I really do appreciate it
12:46 hey look it's Venom!
Unironically the best Shocked story I read was a fanfic from like a decade ago, (Had to look it up to refresh my memory, since I was like 12 when I read it)
It was a novel length fanfic called Shocker: Legit by screenplay writer Max Landis (who also wrote the comic book Superman: American Alien)
Poor Herman. the best shocker story is a friggin fanfic 😂
I find Max Landis to either be incredibly amazing or just bat shit bad. No in between.
I'll look into his Shocker Piece. Have you ever read his idea for Freddy vs Jason Vs.......everyone else ? It's epic
@@HaussmannComics-xd3gn no. But that sounds awesome. I'll have to look into it
Es igual con condiment king
I'd love to see a video on the constrictor. Lobe your channel man. I haven't read comics really for a while, but your passion for the medium really comes through in your videos and you make the topic super engaging. Thanks for sharing these!
*love lol
I kinda miss when you called us Hauss-tages, that was a great name. Great video again. It was great seeing how you improved from your older videos
Thanks! Just wait til I pull out the "Hausstitutes"
There's also a libra in DC comics, he was a member of the first incarnation of the injustice gang and Libra is also the name of a beyblade.
Thanks for making a video on my favorite Spider-Man villain! I have a few more ideas for future Evolution videos: Dragon Man, Kurse, and Pyro.
Shockers my favorite character of all time I really wish they did more with him
You are really good at making these videos. You should have a comic Tv show.
Thank you very much. That would be pretty awesome haha
I don't remember how I found this channel initially but the content is great! Shocker is one of my favorite Marvel villains, always happy to see him get some focus.
I love these videos so much, your channel is gonna get really big soon enough I can already tell. Keep up the great work!
Thanks, that would be awesome, and even if it doesn't it's awesome to get comments like this
Love me some Shocker. If I ever got to write my own version of the Shocker, I would play on the idea that he is a genius, and as such is super bored by mundane life, and thus becomes an adrenaline junkie “naturally” leading to him becoming a supervillain to tango with Spider-man.
Also I cannot get that issue of Shocker and Scorpia working together with She-hulk in some tie in issue from War of the realms out of my head, so I always think of Shocker and Scorpia as partners in crime (and maybe more? 🤔 probably not lol)
Great video! I’m actually a massive Shocker fan, he feels like a capital T capital R rogue for me from Flash. I love that there’s not really any personal animosity between him and Spidey. He may be a jobber, but I love that he knows when to hold them and know when to fold them. I think the PS4 game and cartoons really got that aspect of his character.
Do you take requests on characters? Can you do one for Sebastian Shaw, Selene, Blackheart? Hela? There are soo many cool characters. I had NO idea that there were previous Shockers! Especially not one during the Finger era. This is why I love your videos .
Yes I do! Black heart has been one on my radar for a while
Ojalá regrese en spiderman 4
Always liked Shocker but Superior Foes from Spencer and USM from Bendis made me love him.
Lets never forget: SHOCKER!!! YOU CAN'T ESCAPE ME. I'LL CHASE YOU TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH
Superior foes was so good
Shocker was going to be called the Vibrator? Ahaaa parallel thinking.
Downside to the modern Shocker being written as a loser: Spider-Man comics lost a cool competent villain.
Upside to the modern Shocker being written as a loser: He now stands out among Spider-Man's rogue's a little bit more.
I'm glad somebody explored the fact that the Shocker was once just as good as Spider-Man's other core villains. He was once on the same level as Electro, Rhino, or Sandman.
What method do you use to display your comics on the wall?
That is literally duct tape folded over on the back of their bags.
Not the best or most ideal....but it's effectice
Shocker being a loser is nothing but a crutch.
The part of patsy walkers lore that’s not Interesting is her crush on mr.fantastic. He along with the punisher are the last heroes in the marvel universe anyone should have a crush on.
Emotionally you are absolutely correct. But strictly physically? I say why not? Haha
@@HaussmannComics-xd3gn Don't let your self-estime get you down.
Im never going to assosiate Tunnel Rhino the same way again
I came to a strange conclusion. Shocker is like the Boba Fett of Spider-Man villains. While certainly not remotely as popular as Boba Fett, I couldn't help but note some similarities: he's a role that's been used only a bit DESPITE his beginnings being very early on (Boba has very little screen time), he's relegated to background in later ones (Boba's really only a glorified extra in the OT), often goes out like a chump (Boba in ROTJ) but was a sincere threat once (unlike Boba now), and most of all relies on the "cool factor" of his costume and weapons (the essence of Boba). Because let's be honest, he just looks cool. He doesn't offer that much to a story beyond petty thief, henchmen, or hired goon that robs banks or commits heists, but what he does offer ...superficial though it may be...are awesome fight scenes. And I think that's largely why you see him intro a lot of books with a quickly thwarted get-rich-quick scheme, he's practically always a boss fight in nearly every Spider-Man video game, or he step in just briefly during a random ensemble fight. His fight scenes are where he shines more than he'll ever succeed in leading the plot of an issue. He's the essence of fun but relatively simple and limited in the written execution. But what's sad is he COULD be a lot more. I like that you touched on the fact that he's got to be a low-key genius...but what's ALWAYS bothered me about that is how nothing was every done with that and it's never been addressed since his debut. Nobody ever used that he's CLEARLY got to be among the most brilliant engineers out there. Get this guy the same resources Tony Stark had...what could he make? The dude made those gauntlets...IN PRISION! "Herman Schultz built these in JAIL...from SCRAPS!" I hate that NOBODY ever ran with his intelligence. In fact, they did just the opposite and portrayed him as, frankly, kind of below average intelligence more often than not. It's almost as if his intellect established in the first issue was just completely forgotten. What I didn't know is how you can track through his appearances a running trend of him actually learning from past mistakes...something many villains DON'T do. So I suppose one could argue that's something being done with his intelligence even if subtle. Another thing I never knew about Shocker is the growing sort of insecurity he has after being defeated so many times. That's actually pretty cool, but it does come at the cost of him being an actual threat and is likely what led to his downfall as a serious character. But it is cool to see a time where Shocker indeed was an actual threat. I've always loved Shocker and felt he deserved more spotlight. He's got more potential that he's ever really given and honestly, the near PTSD angle they started to run with isn't a bad start. Now if they could do that AND retain him still being dangerous...I'd buy into that in a New York minute. Give this guy his Kraven's Last Hunt! When you really consider it though, the fact that Shocker only has a handful of appearances despite being made in literally the golden age of Spider-Man...but people still remember and know of him...that's really telling. Something about him struck a cord with people. He's an untapped goldmine of potential. How about he's so brilliant...he's actually bored and, because of this, became a kleptomaniac. It made him feel alive and he'd actually PLAY dumb because he LIKED the chase and challenge. And before he knew it, things just went out of control and escalated to a level he couldn't turn back from.
Very well said. I agree with a lot of that. There are so many interesting things that could have been done with Shocker and his intelligence
Huh i thought Patsy predated the marvel (timly?) Superheroes from back in the romance comic era
She does, that was a golden age WWII comic she first appeared in. Then she endured into the romantic comic age
Its no middle group with the Shocker. Hes just Bad lol
Thanks for this! I thought the shocker was just a rude sex move. Now I know better! Thanks Haussmann!
Think about it right and any Spidey villain can be a ride sex move.
The Rhino

Mysterio
Puma
The Scorpion
@@HaussmannComics-xd3gn I'm after to ask what the Green Goblin is.
@@mckinnonjames well....... this couldn't either be somewhat tame or really nasty......but it involves gobbling........and it depends on your definition of green
