Reading Motivation Kit, "Morning
Comes Delectrode" story card (1975)
Powers/Abilities: Delectrode
did not possess any
superhuman powers but he carried a flashlight device capable of
projecting
intense, blinding light that he used to incapacitate others.
History:
("Morning
Comes
Delectrode" story card) - Delectrode and
his gang caused a blackout in the city, leaving bystanders confused.
With the
city in panic, Delectrode and his men robbed the city until Spider-Man
took to
the streets with a candle to light his way. Soon finding Delectrode,
Spider-Man
was blinded by Delectrode's flashlight device. Unable to see to fight
back,
Spider-Man remained trapped in Delectrode's flashlight beam until
morning, when
his eyes became adjusted to daylight. With the rise of the sun,
Spider-Man
fought back, punching Delectrode and knocking his flashlight weapon
from his
hands. With Delectrode's defeat, his gang dropped their loot.
Comments: Created by an
uncredited writer and Win
Mortimer.
There
are no credits on the story
card but the book, Spider-Man: The Icon revealed
the artist to be Win
Mortimer, who would go on to draw Spidey Super Stories.
Delectrode’s
story card also
revealed a 1975 copyright of Marvel Comics Group, meaning that
Delectrode is
owned by Marvel.
Delectrode
strangely called
Spider-Man "dearie" in panel 6 of the story card. That's just weird...
