Electro is the name of two fictional Marvel Comics supervillains created by Stan Lee and an enemy of Spider-Man and Daredevil. He is a white supervillain who uses his superpowers, which give him control over electricity, to commit crimes and fight Spider-Man. The first and most well-known version of the character is Maxwell "Max" Dillon, a lineman for an electric company who turned to a life of crime after being struck by lightning while working on a power line and becoming a living electric capacitor. During the time that Max Dillon was dead between 2016 and 2021, a second Electro named Francine Frye was introduced. He is a member of the supervillain group, the Sinister Six.
