In an interview, Romita discussed how he designed the character, "I used a lot of very subliminal feeling. While designing the Shocker costume, for some reason, I thought 'cushion' and 'quilt.' I'm thinking, if the guy has a shocking power and vibrates buildings so they fell apart by shaking them, then there's got to be some kind of cushion effect, and so, subliminally, I did it."<ref>{{cite book |last1=Romita |first1=John |title=John Romita --and all that jazz! |date=2007 |publisher=TwoMorrows Pub |location=Raleigh, N.C. |isbn=978-1-893905-75-7 |page=120}}</ref>
