Static Shock: A History
Created by Dwayne McDuffie, Static Shock began as a Milestone Comics character, eventually evolving to become a Milestone Media/DC Comics animated series that premiered in 2000.
Electromagnetism isnāt your everyday superpower. But the ability to manipulate electrically charged particles is exactly what powers Virgil Hawkins. In between his studies and his after-school internship at S.T.A.R. Labs in New York, this brilliant but at times awkward high school student finds his extracurricular time taken up with rescuing his friends and saving the city as the DC Super Hero Static. Armed with sick burns to equal his high voltage, this dynamo uses humor to keep his cool even while hurling electrified smackdowns at anyone threatening his turf.
A well-known fan favorite, Static Shockās undeniable magnetism continues to reverberate through the DC Universe, both onscreen, and in comic books, alike!
