I'd like to think I'm above the obvious six-armed Shocker joke.

Last night, first details of Dan Slott's Spider Island were revealed, including the absolutely beautiful concept of a six-armed Shocker on the cover of Amazing Spider-Man #669:

However, this is not actually the first time Herman's gotten his spider on. While in no way canon, I am reminded of the Arachnophobia series of trading cards from the 1995 set of Fleer's Spider-Man trading card, which contained none other than the monstrous DOPPELSHOCK:

I can only hope this was Slott's inspiration, and that this means in the coming months we see some of the rest of the set show up in some form.
