Eric Cameron, a self-described "real-life Peter Parker," has snapped the first photograph of what Herman Schultz's (Bokeem Woodbine) finished Shocker costume will probably look like in Spider-Homecoming. Yes, set photos of a Shocker costume did indeed leak online back in September, but that was almost undoubtedly a pre-CGI version of it.
The photo itself, which was taken on Saturday at Hasbro's off-site event, is of promotional artwork featured on Homecoming merchandise. Of course, the toy artwork might be slightly (or perhaps even substantially) different from the post-CGI version in the film.
Check out the image below. You'll see that this version of Shocker, just like his comic book counterpart, wears a suit with yellow quilt patches that protect him from the intense vibrations his gauntlets create. He's also sporting hi-tech goggles with dark lenses, a bright orange vest, and purplish-blue pants and shoulder pads/straps. Plus, his gauntlets actually cover his hands like a pair of gray metal gloves.
Created by Marvel legends Stan Lee and John Romita Sr. and debuting in the March 1967 issue of The Amazing Spider-Man (#46), Shocker is a career criminal that uses his brilliant talents as both an inventor and an engineer to build a pair of gauntlets, which are activated with a pump-action thumb trigger. What can they do? They create seismic disruptions. And since the vibrations can so intense, he wears a heavily insulated costume -- with yellow quilt patches -- that absorbs the shock.

A young Peter Parker/Spider-Man (Tom Holland), who made his sensational debut in Captain America: Civil War, begins to navigate his newfound identity as the web-slinging super hero in Spider-Man: Homecoming. Thrilled by his experience with the Avengers, Peter returns home, where he lives with his Aunt May (Marisa Tomei), under the watchful eye of his new mentor Tony Stark (Robert Downey, Jr.). Peter tries to fall back into his normal daily routine – distracted by thoughts of proving himself to be more than just your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man – but when the Vulture (Michael Keaton) emerges as a new villain, everything that Peter holds most important will be threatened.
The cast features Tom Holland, Michael Keaton, Robert Downey Jr., Zendaya, Donald Glover, Jacob Batalon, Laura Harrier, Tony Revolori, Tyne Daly, Bokeem Woodbine, Logan Marshall-Green, and Marisa Tomei.
The film is being directed by Jon Watts (Cop Car), based on a screenplay by Jonathan Goldstein & John Francis Daley (Vacation reboot) and Jon Watts & Christopher Ford and Chris McKenna & Erik Sommers.
