[edit] Bio

Shocker is a terrorist organisation that plans on ruling the world, not unlike the Cobra Organization from the G.I. Joe toyline. However, unlike Cobra (which only modified its most elite troops), virtually all of Shocker's members have been modified in some way. The founders had mostly Nazi ties[1], with the Kamen Rider Spirits manga making references to the group's support by the Badan Empire[2].

Shocker performs modification operations that gives the subject superhuman fighting ability. Even the most basic Shocker trooper is tougher, stronger and faster than the average human (though not necessarily as skilled as, say, trained military professionals). The most powerful of their forces were the kaijin, modified humans who were combined with animal DNA and cybernetics to create living weapons.

Ruthless and merciless, Shocker would often kidnap prominent scientists and force them to work for the organisation, then kill them when their usefulness was at an end. However, on one occasion, the decision to kidnap and modify the young college prodigy Takeshi Hongo proved to be their undoing. Modifying him into a grasshopper-human hybrid, he was intended to be another of Shocker's powerful cyborg warriors, but escaped and opposed them as Kamen Rider 1. A later attempt to create a second Kamen Rider backfired when the intended victim was rescued by the original Rider and became known as Kamen Rider 2. The pair became known as the Double Riders.

This organization was destroyed by the Double Riders in 1973 during the series. It was succeeded by Gel-Shocker.

  • Spider Man (蜘蛛男 Kumo Otoko?, 1, 13) - A spider monster with heightened strength and agility; able to shoot out powerful strands of webbing; and shoot poison darts from his mouth that would kill then disintegrate his victims. Spider Man was responsible for the capture of Takeshi Hongo, who would later become the fiirst Kamen Rider. He would also ultimately be responsible for the death of Professor Midorikawa, which would have repercussions due to the fact his daughter, Ruriko, had witnessed the killing and wrongly blamed Hongo for it. Utimately, Spider Man would be killed by Kamen Rider 1 via his first ever use of the "Rider Kick". He was later ressurect by Tokageron as part of his Monster Army, only to die again.
