Later that night back at the Columbia University physics lab, Maxwell Dillon works on his nuclear electricity reactor in which he takes a gigawatt from the reactor and puts it in a lightbulb. He also put another lightbulb in the nuclear reactor.

"Whoa!" Maxwell yells after the lightbulbs blow out. "Is everything alright?" Another physics professor says. "Yeah I'm good, just doing more experiments with my reactor" Maxwell answers. "Well I would be careful, because you don't want to kill yourself trying to come up with more solutions to this reactor" The professor says.

Liz Allen rushes into the lab coming back from her break and begins to warn them about the electrical storm out there. "Guys, there's a terrible electric storm out there! We gotta shut down all of the equipment before lightning strikes this place!" Liz shouts. "You've got to be lying. There is no electric storm out there" Maxwell says. "That's because we don't have windows here in the lab but I was outside on my break and when it ended I saw lightning and it's pouring hardly" Liz explains. "Just let me finish these tests and I will shut the reactor down" Maxwell says. "No shut it down now!" The professor yells.

As the lights turn on and off, Maxwell still believes he can finish up his experiments. "What are you doing Dillon?!" Professor asks shouting. "There's still time to finish my experiments!" Maxwell yells. "Dr. Nooo!" Liz yells.

Outside of the university we see lightning hit an electric pole shutting down half of the city. Afterwards, lightning strikes the top of the building where the physics lab is located and makes it's way into the physics lab. As Dillon was trying to finish up his electrical experiments with the reactor, he feels the lighting strike him electrocuting him. Liz and the professor have shocked faces knowing there's nothing they can do to save him from being electrocuted. Maxwell then passes out from the electrocution, the reactor explodes, and the other electric projects explode with electricity flying in the air and towards him before the destroyed reactor falls on him. Liz and the professor escaped on time and safely.

"You ok Liz?" The professor asks. "Yeah I'm alright, we nearly died" Liz answers. "Why don't you go home for the rest of the night and we can discuss alternate plans tomorrow" Professor says. "Ok" Liz says as she leaves for the night.

The professor then runs over to the destroyed reactor with the mini flashlight he has in his pocket to check on Dillon. "Max! Are you alright?!" Professor asks in extreme worry. He moves all of the pieces of the reactor to find him until he finds him laying there not breathing or talking. He touches him only to be electrocuted. Max wakes up only for his eyes to open with electricity in them and gets up. "Max?" Professor asks. "I'm not Max anymore! I'm electro!" Maxwell exclaims. He stretches his right arm towards the professor to use an electrical force on him. "This is for killing me in that experiment!" Electro shouts. "I didn't kill you! You nearly killed yourself with your stubbornness!" Professor shouts. "Lies!" Electro yells. He throws him to the wall which kills him instantly due to the electric force taking all of his life.

After killing the professor, he exits the lab and enters the university campus. He heads over to the electrical power station and uses his powers to shut down all of the electricity in New York City. "Hey! Who are you?!" One of the power station electricians asks. "And what are you doing shutting down all of the electricity!" The other electrician asks. Electro then puts and evil smile on and uses his electrical force to electrocute them before leaving. The electricians then get back up since he only uses little force on them which is why they survived.
