THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2: Latest Daily Bugle Viral Hints At An Appearance From 'Shocker'
The latest Daily Bugle article from The Amazing Spider-Man 2's ongoing viral campaign is written by Ned Leeds and discusses the crimes of a bank robber who sounds an awful lot like The Shocker! Could we see the villain make a cameo appearance, a la Ultimate Spider-Man?
The NYPD are the city’s greatest heroes, but sometimes even heroes are left scratching their heads. For instance, when $200,000 goes missing from the armored vault at G.K. Mason Bank.
Detective Stan Carter of the NYPD Major Crimes Unit was on scene to comment, stating, ”There’s still a lot we don’t know, but it looks like some kind of sustained vibration literally shook the door off its hinges and ripped the walls apart in the process.” Security cameras inside the bank were damaged upon the immediate forced entry of the robber, denying police a clear view of the perpetrator or the means of rupturing the vault.
When asked if the NYPD had concerns that the nature of the crime might indicate heightened super-human activity, Carter said, “There’s no evidence to point to that yet. When we catch him, we don’t expect anything more than a common crook with a clever toy.”
The Shocker has been a fan favourite choice to cameo in a Spider-Man movie ever since Brian Michael Bendis and Mark Bagley made his recurring appearances in the pages of Ultimate Spider-Man one of the most humorous parts of that series. Would you guys like to see him show up in The Amazing Spider-Man 2? Be sure to sound off with your thoughts in the usual place!
