SHOCKER (Earth-7)

Biography 

Early Life

 Born in Austria, Herman started out as a novice DJ at local nightclubs, until he realized it was far more lucrative to use the events he organized as a mere front for his real business: the sale and purchase of illicit drugs.

  To expand his empire and musical career, he adopted the name Shocker, an electronic, luminous, and opulent figure who defies mainstream media by refusing to show his face, creating an entire visual narrative around his origins.

International Carreer

His career really took off when he performed at Eurovision a few years ago, which turned him into a global phenomenon. 

His dazzling shows that could be seen from space, his deep, relentless beats that made the ground shake, and his mysterious, aloof personality made him a public figure adored by young people, creating an active fanbase around him that was ready to defend him against any and all accusations.

New York

From there on, the hardest part was already behind him, and all he had to do was ride the wave of fame.

Remix the same song over and over again without anyone noticing, and steal samples from lesser-known artists whom no one cared enough about to call him out—and if they did, they’d quickly be silenced by a barrage of comments from the DJ’s fanbase defending him around the clock.

The next step was obvious: set up shop in New York, rent a few warehouses to reach an audience like never before, and more than that, return to his roots to maximize his profits by striking a unique deal with Lonnie Lincoln—the crime boss known as Tombstone—so that he could run his drug operation within that space, in exchange for a cut of the profits for the musician. All of this with the blessing of Mayor Wilson Fisk, of course, who protects him from police interference and unwanted visits by receiving his own cut of the profits.

But even worse than that is the musician allowing underage youths into his parties, corrupting the youth by facilitating access to hard drugs and addictive hallucinogens—and Spider-Man cannot forgive that.

From then on, the arachnid hero would proclaim himself a party-crasher, with a new hobby of completely ruining the DJ’s plans while sabotaging his events. But if it’s up to Shocker, it won’t end like that; with the new seismic gloves he commissioned from the Tinkerer, he’ll leave Spider-Man on the ground—or at the very least, deaf.
