Spider-Man: Homecoming - 45 Easter Eggs & References You Probably Missed

26. Shocker

As revealed ahead of the film's release, there are two Shockers in Homecoming. The first is played by Logan Marshall-Greene, who reveals his codename (much to Toomes' amusement - he says "this isn't pro wrestling") and who is rather comically killed off by accident early on. He was playing Jackson Brice, who was The Shocker in The Spectacular Spider-Man comic.

The title is handed over to Bokeem Woodbine, playing Herman Schultz, who also inherits the shocker weapons. The more observant of you will notice that they're Crossbones' gauntlets from Captain America: Civil War - suggesting that Toomes' gang operated in Africa as well as the US.

The characters look nothing like the comic book origin, but there's a slight visual clue in there, as the arm padding used to protect from the heavy gauntlets is yellow and quilted like the character's look in the comics...
