Static or Spider-Man more inspirational and relatable

Just explain which one is more inspirational to you and relatable

I'm talking about Peter Parker not Miles.

One is for youth another is for and black teens...

Don't know.

@never_give_up: I feel like Static is something that you everyone can learn something from not just black teens

Thanks for commentating

Miles or Virgil...eh. I'd say about the same, but I prefer Static just cause I loved Static Shock.

@scouterv: Peter Parker not Miles.

Majority of comic characters are white.

That's why I said it. But that's the audience it's geared to IMO

@staticdwanyemcduffie: You may want to specify that.

Anyway, Static, for the same reason.

@never_give_up: Alright

@scouterv: I thought OP meant Parker I was right.

@scouterv: I'm kinda fan of yours, not trying act like stalker just seen some of your stuff.

Thanks for commentating

@staticdwanyemcduffie: It's cool, yo. No biggie, cause I like both.

@never_give_up: You were, and I was just having some fun. I think comic characters can appeal to anyone regardless of skin color though.

Peter came first, and he paved the way for teen superheroes that would eventually come - like Static.

Many comic readers don't even know who Static is, so I think the answer is very clearly Spider-Man when his influence has extended to not just comic book readers but to those that have never cracked the spine of a comic as well.

By the way, appreciate the sentiment. Always nice to have a fan.

Saw an error in my OP I edited it.

@staticdwanyemcduffie: Peter used to be relatable. But that youthful attraction isn't there much these days. He's still obviously an icon and an enjoyable hero. But he's a grown ass man who too many writers still think is nineteen.

Virgil is a true everyman. His stories affected his family, his neighborhood, and his friends. All things we all go through. Virgil is one of the most relatable characters I've ever read, regardless of race.

Virgil for me.

Peter. He was an average, every day teenager with teenaged problems. Even now, he's still someone who struggles at times with doing what he can do, and what he thinks he needs to do.

EASILY Peter.

Peter

@stormdriven: You just described Virgil, also.

@jedixman: Nicely said, agreed.

Sure we can do the whole "comics are for everyone*cough*nowthattheyarefinallydiversifying*cough*and we can all enjoy no matter this-no matter that-" BS.

Now There's nobody with two eyes who dislikes these guys.

But if you're black and grew up 90s--> Static

That's literally why he was created in the first place and he was done right.

Static is more inspirational to me, mainly because I'm black, and while I have uber nerdy interests, I grew out of being a stereotypical dork about fifteen years ago. I'll be honest - I've never had a strong connection or resonance with Peter Parker. I was tall, gangly, awkward, and "smart", so my discomfort with my body actually led me to appreciate Beast more in his original incarnation (especially the fact that he had to wear these gigantic shoes - my feet were already size 14 when I was 14, so I could relate) whereas Peter always seemed whiny as hell to me. I didn't know who Static was until the Static Shock show came out, but I enjoyed that show more than Spiderman, so he'll get my vote.
