Francine Frye

Francine Frye was a New Yorker who was obsessed with super-villains as a form to escape from the real world. She was a regular accomplice of Electro.

While on the run after having his powers tampered with by Otto Octavius, Electro went to Francine's apartment for shelter. Even though he warned her of his malfunctioning powers, Francine tried to get intimate with Max, claiming that she simply couldn't help it. They eventually kissed, and Francine was accidentally killed.

After recovering genetic material from her corpse, the Jackal brought her back to life in the form of a clone, initially as an incentive to have the recently-depowerd Electro work with him. After a procedure that failed to give Electro his powers back, the suit that was meant to transfer its energy to him started to discharge into Francine. It was theorized by the Jackal that having used genetic material from Francine's cheek after she kissed Electro had mixed up her DNA.

Francine was pulled by the energy discharge of the suit, and she kissed Electro in order to grow in power. She ended up absorbing all of the suit's power, but accidentally fried Electro in the process. Frye was later given an Electro costume and took Max Dillon's place in the Jackal's plan.

Electro was recently recruited into the all-female Sinister Syndicate after being freed from Mayor Fisk's operatives.
