A rather interesting debate has developed concerning the abilities of a certain
Mr Herman Schultz, otherwise known as "The Shocker". The subject of the discussion
is... "Is The Shocker a loser". The original Shocker profile on this page was rather
damning of The Shocker - however a certain Mr Tim Eimiller lept from among the passive
general audience to come quickly to The Shocker's defence. He claims that The Shocker's
win/loss ratio against Spidey is as at least as good as most other villains.
Here is the Shocker's Win/Loss ratio as presented by Mr Eimiller.
- Amazing Spider-Man #46 - Shocker defeats Spidey, Spidey later defeats
Shocker.
- Amazing Spider-Man #72 - Their first battle ends in a draw, Spidey later
defeats Shocker.
- Amazing Spider-Man #151 - Shocker defeats Spider-Man.
- Amazing Spider-Man #152 - Spidey is saved from Shocker's assault by two
police officers, in round 2 Spidey defeats Shocker.
- Web of Spider-Man #10 - Shocker defeats Spidey. Spider-Man is saved by
Dominic Fortune.
- Amazing Spider-Man #335 - Spidey defeats Shocker.
- Deadly Foes of Spider-Man #3 - Shocker defeats Spidey. Spider-Man is
saved by a Scourge imposter.
- Amazing Spider-Man #364 - Shocker escapes Spider-Man, Spider-Man defeats Shocker.
Total score is 5 victories, 2 draws, and 5 defeats - a 50% success rate. I guess
that's not too shabby against Marvel's greatest super-hero.
