Virgil Hawkins was exposed to a mutagenic gas that swept his city of Dakota, which gave him and other 'bang babies" superpowers. With the ability to control electromagnetism, Static joined the Teen Titans and continues to protect his city while serving on the team.
Yeah, I went to pick up the first run of Static. I think they will lose the social commentary for fear of throwing off mainstream readers and just focus on him fighting "creatures." I hope they do right by this character though. Looks like he will have Hardware as a mentor and might even be supplying him tech.
I can't wait to read this!!!!!!!!!!!!! I really hope this book shines in the New 52. I hope this series lasts decades longer than his series at Milestone because I really like his comic and television series. Count me in as a customer.
