History is only made by the masses of the people (Part 23)...

Black Super Hero History Month

Static



DC Comics' Static first appeared in Static #1 in June 1993.  Virgil Hawkins was taking part in a large gang war when he was doused with an experimental chemical.  This chemical gave him the ability to generate, manipulate and control electromagnetism.  He creates the super hero identity of Static to take the gangs that had been threatening him and his family and friends.  And then he goes on to battle super-villains as well.  Eventually, Static joins the Teen Titans for a bit.

Static can do things like magnetize objects, electrify people, levitate metal objects (like a manhole cover that he stood on to fly), restraining people with 'static friction', and hit people with a stun gun type electricity.
