365 DC Comics Heroes & Villains Paper Cut-Outs

Static

Virgil Hawkins grew up in one of the tougher neighborhoods of Dakota City.  He lost his mother at a young age and his father dedicated himself to helping the people of their neighborhood.  To this end he created the Freeman Community Center as a place where children and families could develop skills and gain resources.  

Virgil’s father offered him excellent guidance and the lad grew up with a good heart and strong sense of right and wrong.  Still, Virgil made an error in judgement in his early teens that would have a dramatic impact on the rest of his life.  

An honor roll student, Virgil was known for his quick wits and tendency to say things before fully thinking them through.  His sharp tongue ended up getting him into trouble with a class bully who had ties to a local street gang.

In his misguided efforts to stand up to this bully, Virgil found himself embroiled in the street gang ‘turf war’ that went down at the Dakota Dock Yards.

The fight would go down as the ‘Big Bang’ and, in the midst of it all, mysterious agents doused the dockyard with the mutagenic ‘Quantum Vapor.’  Exposure to this vapor caused random mutations and many of came away suddenly bestowed with metahuman powers.  

Virgil discovered that he had been granted electrokinesis (the ability to manifest and mentally control electromagnetic energy).   He decided to use these newfound powers to become a customer do-gooder and the hero Static was born.  Static defended Dakota City and battled a number of the individuals who had been similarly empowered by the quantum vapor (and who chose to use their abilities for no good).  

During his adventures, Static encounter the fellow hero Hardware who assisted him by providing technologically advanced gadgetry to further enhance Static’s powers.  Static embarked on adventures alongside Hardware and also teamed up with the heroes Icon, Rocket and the Shadow Cabinet.

Some time later, Static was abducted by the Terror Titans and forced to fight in a metahuman gladiatorial ring at the Darkside Club. Although mind-controlled, Static remained the undefeated champion of these matches and he was eventually rescued by the Teen Titans. He would go on to join the Titans and had numerous adventures also side the teenage heroes. He went on to join Young Justice and also served for a time as part of the Justice League.

Virgil stepped away from the Titans to focus on battling crime in his home town of Dakota. Here he was frequently assisted by his on-again/off-again girlfriend Daisy Watkins as well as his best pal Rick Stone.

The great Phil LaMarr voiced the character in the Static Shock animated series.  Static additionally appeared in the Young Justice series voiced by actor Bryton Jame.  

The hero first appeared in the pages of Static #1 (1993).

These three right here are so much of the reasons why I love comicbooks.

From Saturday cartoons in my pajamas watching Static Shock, to watching Justice League/Justice League Unlimited, to buying and reading Miles comics for years. These three were pillars that made me feel seen.
