Chapter 1057: Max and Kraven
In Hell's Kitchen's one-of-a-kind community hospital, Max Dillon, a middle-aged Black man with burns covering half his body, lay in a hospital bed.
Max was an electrical engineer for Osborn Corporation. Shy by nature and not much of a talker, he had barely registered with his coworkers.
A little over a month ago, two days after the explosion at the vampires' ancestral tomb in Sokovia, Max had been inspecting the bio-batteries in Osborn Tower when his head suddenly spun. Then he fell into the bio-energy storage tank...
When he came to, Max was afraid he'd be fired for causing a short circuit in the tower. He had no time to worry about the strange changes in his body. He hurried home and took an extended leave.
Because he had discovered that he was no longer the same...
Max found that whenever he got close to a power source, his body absorbed electricity against his will. He could also release the electricity stored inside him as he pleased.
His professional background proved useful. His training as an electrical engineer helped him understand how to control those volatile energies...
But the meter at home spun like crazy, and the fuses kept blowing. That brought him back to his senses. Then, excited, Max began secretly visiting power stations around New York...
The sudden arrival of his powers had changed Max's personality a little. The usually timid middle-aged man constantly felt compelled to do something.
He wanted to do something, just like the famous Manhattan Axe...
But being a Mutant, and the fact that using his powers on a large scale turned him into a man wreathed in electricity—Electro—kept the middle-aged engineer from drawing too much attention to himself.
That was how time shaped the differences between people...
