Amazing Spider-Man film informatics Part 10: Other characters


Flash Thompson
Eugene "Flash" Thompson is the school jock and bully. Before class started, Flash decided to pick on Peter by throwing a ball at him. Flash was picking on a student called Gordon when Peter Parker joined the crowd. Flash wanted Peter to take a photo but he refused and told Flash to stop. When Flash ignored him, Peter used his real name (Eugene) to get his attention. This just made Flash angry, and he beat up Peter in front of the crowd until Gwen Stacy stopped him.

Once Peter got his "spider-like" abilities, he humiliates Flash during a basketball practice session as retribution. Later, he starts acting nicer to Peter, starting by sympathizing with him due to the murder of his Uncle Ben, letting Peter take some of his anger out on him.

A lot later he attends Captain Stacy's funeral. Flash is more friendly with Peter (though he still calls him "Parker") and expresses admiration for his alter-ego "Spider-Man", as he is shown sporting a Spider-Man T-shirt.


Dr. Ashley Kafka
Ashley Kafka was a scientist at Ravencroft Institute. Dr Kafka experimented on Max Dillon, when he was sent to Ravencroft Institute. Kafka tortured him, by having him exposed to water and electricity, to test how his powers worked. He also taunted him.

Later, when Harry Osborn infiltrated Ravencroft to break Max out to help him get back into Oscorp, Kafka tried to arrest him, only for Max to agree with Harry's offer and suddenly attack the men trying to arrest him, and when Kafka tried to escape, Max got his revenge on him by trapping him in the same chamber that trapped him, drowning and electrocuting him to death.
