Origin
An lineman for New York's largest power company, Maxwell Dillon was struck by a bolt of lightening while holding  electrical lines still connected to their spool.  By a strange chance of fate, Dillon survived and was physically altered to where he was not only immune to the effects of electricity, but could control it as if it were a part of his body.  Never one for much imagination or ethics Dillon decided to use his newfound abilities as the deadly criminal called Electro.
