Is Electro creepy enough for you, kids? Why not check out his real-life counterpart?




You'll all remember the ro-but uprising of '57 when these once-kindly and obedient metal men rose up against us, destroyed our civilization, and became our masters. All hail the Robot Regime! All hail their Thousand Year Reign! All hail Electro, The Marvel of the Age!

P.S. Please send robot-destroying help!

Tomorrow night: Elektro the Robutler!

I also refuse to believe that anyone would leave the scene of corpses stabbing people by saying "It's ghastly!" rather than "HOLY $&%#!!!!"
