Heroes & Villains The DC Animated Universe - Paper Cut-Out Portraits and Profiles

Static

Virgil Hawkins was a high school student who was experiencing troubles with bullies and gangs.  Against his better judgement, Virgil joined a rival gang so to protect himself.  This resulted in his being present at the 'Big Bang,' a large-scale brawl between various street gangs that took part at the Dakota Dockyards.  In the midst of this brawl, the ‘Quantum Vapor’ was released into the air.  All those who breathed the mutagenic vapor were changed in some way, with many being bestowed metahuman powers.  

Virgil gained the power of electrokinesis, the ability to generated and mentally control electromagnetic energies.  He decided to use these newfound powers to become a superhero, crafting a colorful costume and dubbing himself ‘Static’ the protector of Dakota.  A good deal of Static’s crimefighting centered on contending with other young men and women who were also empowered by way of the Quantum Vapor yet had chosen to use their powers for evil.  

At one point, The Joker traveled to Dakota as part of an effort to recruit a gang of young, super-powered hoodlums who would do his bidding.  Static ended up joining forces with Batman and Robin so to defeat the Joker.  He would also have an adventure alongside the Justice League wherein Virgil got to met and fight alongside his childhood hero, Green Lantern/John Stewart.  

Some time thereafter, Static came to Gotham and assisted Batman in defeating the super villain known as Timecode.  This resulted in Static being temporarily sent many years into the future where he shared an adventure with the new Batman, Terry McGinnis.  Yet another incident involving time travel saw an older Static aiding the Justice League in bringing down the time-altering menace of Chronos. 

Static would go on to become a member of The Justice League and would come to be known as well as one of earth’s greatest superheroes.

The fantastic Phil LaMarr provided the voice for Static with the young hero first appearing in the debut episode of the animated series, Static Shock.
