    I see Static as the Spider Man of DC, I mean that in terms of the character and not popularity. If DC made a live action movie for Static and made it good I think it could give the Spider Man movies a run for their money.

      Spiderman and Static have the same similarities. But the reason why D.C. Universe doesn't want to make a Static Movie is because Static is Black. They think if they make a movie of a Black super hero they wouldn't make enough money by the movie. In my opinion Marvel should buy the character of Static since D.C. Universe sucks at making movies.

      @@Bohnezzzzzz That's just your stupid logic. Right now Black panther made over a billion dollars and back then blade made millions and was a successful franchise. Also why would DC make a show about Black lightning if they didn't think it was gonna be successful.

    *YES! THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS!*
    Static is by far my favorite DC super hero, next to Batman of course. His personality is a lot like Peter Parker's and I felt he was the most relatable superhero for me growing up.

      justice league and the unlimited series were very good because they didn't stay focused to the core main characters like sups and bats. They did episodes for power girl, super girl, booster gold, captain marvel or "shazam", and others too. very well rounded series in my opinion. :)

      VariantComics sorry to bother you did you ever watch Batman and Mr Freeze Subzero it is part of the dc animated universe so it is in the same universe as batman TAS, superman TAS,batman beyond,static shock,justice league,justice league unlimited,batman mask of the phantasma and batman beyond the return of the joker and it is a really good movie and underrated it is not as good as mask of the phantasm or return of the joker but still pretty good movie and i recommend it.

    Spidey is my all time favorite Superhero, but he could certainly learn from Static about balancing his hero life and his real life. Virgil did right what Peter Parker did wrong. He was a geek who was picked on all the time, but when the chance came to choose between right and wrong, he chose right, unlike Peter who made one of the worst decisions that haunts him til this day. Virgil actively seeks new opportunities for himself, being an apprentice at Star Labs, and thinks before he acts.

    Hot-Streak wasn't nearly as deadly as Holocaust in the comics though. Since Hot-Streak needed friction to build up to use fire whereas Holocaust could use his fire power freely like the way Hot-Streak was portrayed in the animated series.

    I loved the animated series for Static. Specially after his friend was revealed to be a meta also. Gear was awesome friend/side kick. It would be so awesome if they brought him into the tv universe through the flash series. That one episode when they talked about other metas before the explosion? I honestly thought that was a reference to Static.

    Static Shock seems to manipulate electro magnetism while with Black Lightning electro magnetism is only a sub category of his powers. Black Lightning can do a bit more but I feel SS is more creative. And I also like their student/mentor friendship.

    It's been 8 months since this very good history of Static was posted. It's also been 8 months since a glaring and important omission about the creators was brought to your attention. Michael Davis and Christopher Priest also helped create the character, but for some reason this information has not been added to the video. A simple text label would clarify the info. I'm at a loss why you wouldn't do so.

      Honestly, he wouldn't be too far put of place in the current story arc about Godspeed. But then again, they are using it to introduce New 52 Wally West Kid Flash...
      Then again, New 52 Wally West and Static would be a good match on the upcoming Teen Titans series.

    • @vianjelos
      @vianjelos 7 років тому

      Comics or TV show? Cause he actually fits right into the origins of the show given that he originally got his powers from the "big bang"/chemicals and that in the flash all the metas got hit with the particle accelerator explosion..they could spin the story that he was visiting central city at the time and dicovered his powers later like how Cisco didnt become vibe until much later. Deffinatly think most people watching thenarrowverse grew up watching static shock and would love to see him in it.

    • @alphax215
      @alphax215 10 років тому +30

      I think the only way to figure that one out is to put them into the ring.....so without further a-doo
      I think its time for a DEATH BATTLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • @michaeliv284
      @michaeliv284 10 років тому +2

      Depends on which Cole. I cannot tell if he was good, but he would definitely win if evil

    • @alphax215
      @alphax215 10 років тому +1

      Michael Iv
      you sure, all cole gets is fire powers when evil
      Thanks to Hot Streak, Static has WAY too much experience fighting against that
      being good however gives him ice powers, but once again, Static also has experience goin up agaist that type of fighting style thanks to "Aqua-Maria"(I think that was here name) so again, a useless try
      and since they can both absorb electricity, their normal powers as well wouldent really be worthwhile to fight with
      takin it down this road would mean more of a hand to hand combat, which obviously, Cole would win, BUT it has been shown that these are times where static has gotten the most creative, as this wouldn't be the 1st time his powers were useless/couldn't be used
      so in the end, their still pretty evenly matched, so like I said before, I believe the only way to figure this out is to put them in the ring, so with out further ado
      its time for a DEATH BATTLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • @michaeliv284
      @michaeliv284 10 років тому +1

      Not because of the pyrokinesis, because he is much more powerful.
      InFamous 1= Cole gained a massive power increase due to using the Ray Sphere
      Infamous 2= He became *The Beast*, a Conduit with immense powers that are borderline Godlike

    • @alphax215
      @alphax215 10 років тому

      Michael Iv
      that's not really an argument as the same could be said about the 'good path' as well the only real difference between the two is how the power are handled
      the 'good' side concentrates his power in to one blast to make sure that when it hits the target, no one else gets hurt as well
      the 'evil' is the flip side to that, 'discharging' all his power into the suroundings hurting anyone and everyone in the area, since he doesn't care, as long as he takes out his target
      the best examples are the grenades, for the good side, you get the 'Sticky Grenades' which stays on the target and hurts only him when it explodes, the evil side gets the 'Cluster Grenades' which, once it hits something, will spread and cover an entire area, and once it explodes the damage done, is usually no different than any other bomb of the same level
      its the same with the 'elements' as well, the ice grenades freezes targets, while the fir, destroys the area
      in the end the big difference between the two sides is "Focus" and "Quantity" cuz in the end he's just as powerful in either path, its just how its used that makes him different

      NO! I demand Caitlin Fairchild be the leader. She was screwed in the Superboy comic, and screwed out of leading the Ravagers. Although I do want Static on the team, I think Caitlin is the best choice for leader. DC, you better not screw her over completely.

    • @SKMP

    • @CaptainMarvel4Ever
      @CaptainMarvel4Ever 10 років тому +2

      *****
      I don't see leader as part of his nature. To me Virgil is DC's answer to Peter Parker, the smart but a bit of a goofball, rateable teen. Being leader compromises that status, and makes his character less effective. Caitlin on the other hand is born for the role of leader. She is smart, strong, still a bit of a green horn, and always has a great dynamic with her team mates. So like I said, Static should be on the team as the character the reader relates to, while Caitlin is the strong yet still human leader, who keeps the pace of the story, and holds the team together.

      Static Shock was such a cool hero, and they wrote the characters so well in the show. from what he was saying, it looks like the show's origin story for Static isn't too different from the comics which is always good.
