Fan Casting Electro in Spider-Man (The Series)

One day another lineman got in trouble and Dillon agreed to save him, but only after the coworker would expressly remark to the electric company about Dillon's heroism, which would auger well for his chances of getting promoted. However, a freak lightning storm hit and caused the lineman in distress to lose his balance and fall to his death. In the process Max Dillon gained superpowers when he was struck by lightning while in contact with power lines still connected to their spool.
