Confused and angry, Max's new electrical nature drove him to Times Square, where the police mistook him for a monster and attacked him, provoking him into blasting them with his new powers. Shocked by the cable, Max fell into a vat of electric eels, which mutated his body into a translucent form of living electricity. However, Dillon's life would soon be changed forever when on the day of his birthday, he was forced to stay at Oscorp Tower late in order to fix a loose electrical cable. Treated with kindness by the superhero, Max became obsessed with Spider-Man, coming to reimagine his life as a fantasy in which he and the latter were best friends, and even becoming more confident and social. However, Dillon was saved by Spider-Man on his way to work one day, in one of the latter's fights against the Russian Mob. Shunned for most of his life, Dillon was extremely insecure and lonely, seeing himself as a self-proclaimed nobody in spite of designing New York's Power grid for Oscorp Industries. Maxwell Dillon is an electrical engineer and the former supervillain known as Electro.
