[edit] Fictional character biography
When superheroes began appearing in numbers, a scientist was fascinated by this. His son helped him gather data, but the generators exploded. The scientist was killed, but his son lived on as the living battery Supercharger.
As Supercharger, he battled with the Fantastic Four and the early appearances of Spider-Man. When Supercharger gained his own talkshow and invited Spider-Man as his guest, his agenda was revealed when the audience and studio became his hostages. Spider-Man defeated Supercharger by using studio equipment to drain his energy since Supercharger doesn't generate his own electricity.
Supercharger was later seen as a member of the Masters of Evil organized by Justine Hammer (in her Crimson Cowl alias).
