At one point in the story, following a brazen daytime bank robbery, Electro is shown escaping from the authorities by climbing up the side of a building, as easily as Spider-Man. we see one observer exclaim, "Look! ! That strangely-garbed man is racing up the side of the building! " A second man on the street picks up the narrative: "He's holding on to the iron beams in the building by means of electric rays–using them like a magnet! ! Incredible! "There are three feelings inspired by this scene. The first is wonder as to why people rarely use the phrase "strangely-garbed" anymore. The second is nostalgia for the bygone era when pedestrians would routinely narrate events occurring in front of them, providing exposition for any casual bystander. And the third is pleasure at the realization that Electro's climbing this building is actually a physically plausible use of his powers. James Kakalios
