Herman Schultz / Shocker

Shocker

Herman SchultzSpider-ManEarth-616

The second man to wear the gauntlet, who got the job by standing next to the first one when it happened.

Herman Schultz is a former salvage worker and professional criminal. When Jackson Brice is killed he takes the Shocker gauntlet and the name, tracks down a weapon Spider-Man had recovered, and helps run the deal on the Staten Island ferry. When the FBI and Spider-Man ambush it, he and Toomes get away.

Bokeem Woodbine plays him as somebody who took a promotion he did not want in circumstances that made refusing unwise, which is the whole texture of Toomes’s crew and the reason Homecoming works better than its villains should allow.
