How Batman Would Defeat Every Spider-Man Villain

7. Electro

Electric company lineman Max Dillon was struck by lightning while holding onto an electrical line. This caused a body-wide change that turned him into a living electrostatic generator. Donning a costume and using his electrical powers to rob banks and accumulate the wealth the perpetually poor man always desired. This brought him into conflict with Spider-Man, who beat him on a regular basis, either alone or as part of various incarnations of the Sinister Six.

It’s important that Batman kept Electro from recharging from any source. The Dark Knight would also have to keep any of his equipment from being disrupted by either electrical or electromagnetic discharge from Dillon’s powers. Max could even disrupt the electrical currents of Batman’s brain if he got close enough. Clearly, this would be a challenging fight for the World's Greatest Detective.

With water and overloading his powers being two of the few ways to overcome Electro, Batman will have a fight on his hands, even in a suitably grounded Batsuit. One of the things that will work in Batman’s favor is that Dillon is not a very intelligent man. Secondly, he is an extremely greedy one. Batman could simply give him a better offer.
