Herman Schultz was among the salvage workers under Adrian Toomes who were forced out of a job by Stark's Damage Control. Now unemployed, he became a professional criminal with Toomes utilizing the technology salvaged from the Chitauri. With his partner Jackson Brice, Schultz comes face-to-face with Spider-Man, whom he tries to kill, during an arms trade with Aaron Davis. After Toomes kills Jackson Brice for threatneing to blackmail Toomes, Schultz inherits Brice's modified gauntlet and alias of "Shocker". Shocker later tries to sell the Chitauri technology to Mac Gargan. However, he was again intercepted by Spider-Man, dispatching Gargan and his associates. Shocker attempts to take out Spider-Man but gets himself caught into the boat's railing. Spider-Man quickly webs Schultz to the railing to prevent his escape. Shocker is later rescued by Toomes in his Vulture suit before the FBI can arrest him.
Knowing Spider-Man would try to follow him, Vulture deploys Shocker against Spider-Man, whom he smashes into a school bus while Vulture takes off on his heist. As Shocker prepares to deliver the final blow, Ned Leeds uses the Web-Shooters to snag Shocker's gauntlet, distracting Shocker long enough for Spider-Man to web him to the side of a bus. Shocker was then arrested by the police.
