Virgil Ovid Hawkins a.k.a. Static the electromagnetic legend/hero of the City of Dakota of the Static Shock animated series - is based on Static, a comic book character and series by Milestone Comics (an independently-owned imprint published by DC Comics). The title character of the series, Virgil Hawkins, named for the first black American to go to law school (who was himself named for the Greek/Latin poets Virgil and Ovid) - is an African-American high school student in the fictional city of Dakota. As one of the victims of an accidental exposure to an experimental mutagen, he gained superhuman electromagnetic powers, (He has the power to control and produce Electromagnetic energy in a wide variety of manifestations, limited only by his Knowledge & Imagination) and - being a comic book fan - used them to become a superhero.
The more Static practiced and used his powers, the more capable he became in confrontations up against other Meta-Humans like old school bully Hot-Streak and his newer adversaries like Ebon. So far in the animated series, Static is capable of the following moves:
- Electromagnetic Generation, Manipulation, and Control - Static can charge devices (such as the Justice League's Watchtower) with electricity, and alternatively drain the energy from them
- Jets, Bolts, and Bursts of Electromagnetic Force -
- Electromagnetic Shields and Barriers -
- Electromagnetic Fields -
- Electromagnetic Levitation - Static can cause objects to fly (metal is the easiest material to manipulate and wood is the most difficult)
- Static Cling - static can adhere most objects/people/Bang-Babies to surfaces and other objects, plus Static can magnetize surfaces
- Taser Punch -
- Taser Shots - shots of electromagnetic force aimed and shot out of Static's fists
- Double Taser Shot - a shot of electromagnetic force aimed & shot out of both Static's fists at the same time
- Ball Lightning
- Nova Ball - seen only in Sons of the Fathers, an attack of electromagnetic force, customized by Static to work especially on Ebon (Quote "I call that my Nova-Ball Ebon, it takes alot out of me, but more out of you"); after being hit by the Nova-Ball, Ebon's physical shadowy form came apart from the light, Ebon was forced to disappear to somewhere else.
- Nova Burst - seen only in Bad Stretch, an attack of light & electromagnetic force run through some normal wire, customised by Static to work especially on Ebon, but useful to use on most opponents (Talon, Shiv & Carmen-Dillo) to blind them for a short while; but did not work on Aqua-Maria, it just passed right through her.
- Electromagnetic Pulse
