History Of Static Shock 

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.

Afro zekepick Well Black Panther made history, but it was Marvel so yeah lol DC just “don’t care” for movies! There I said it pun and all!

Afro zekepick It’s ridiculous

Jonathan Tefft Facts

@@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.

I wish the new 52 comic would have sold better. I would have liked to collect his run.

I really miss that show, such a great potential and relevant storylines... Although superman whould be my number one.

I totally agree. static is awesome

Stewdippin : Fun Nerdy Videos Every Week static shock RESPECT THREAD www.comicvine.com/static/4005-26578/forums/static-respect-thread-417804/#133

***** BLESS THIS POST! Thank you so much for sharing!

Ikr! Old cartoons>new cartoons

true, but i like the art now better

Where have u been?

+Bird Scott Um... they do.

Shady Doorags lol the ignorance is strong with this one

AzureMirage I would watch it.

AzureMirage I mean with Black lightning becoming really popular, people may want more superhero shows with a black lead. With how responsive Netflix has been I'm sure it'll happen if black lightning continues to be good

I would luv Static to ditch DC

There’s one on RU-vid now

id play the best static shock lol .

I know right

damn we are old!!!!!😅

Aye.

www.change.org/p/warner-brothers-static-shock-movie?recruiter=531515516& SIGN THIS PETITION SO WE CAN GET A STATIC SHOCK MOVIE!!!

That's was some exciting times, waiting for that to come on. Don't know why Static Shock just was given up on, he was a cool ass superhero.

Joseph Ben-Obasa yes he inspired me when I was a kid it wasn't many black cartoon characters yet alone a black superhero when static shock came out I finally seen someone who looks like me

Well we finally getting one now

We getting one

Future you it’s going to happen

We are getting one, but unfortunately DC just completely rewrote him in this reboot and completely muddled the character. We'll see which one we get.

Pyroclastic DOOM I get it!

Pyroclastic DOOM damn that shit bring back memories yo!

joseph charlot that moment when you suddenly feel like your as old as Jesus.

Oh my god. Pleeeeeaaaaase.

Music Junkie​ It needs to happen. DC and WB are milking Batman too much, they need to give some of their other superheroes attention.

+Bosston Bong Sly Cooper is the shiiit!

+Farhan Kapadia Either Sucker Punch or Rocksteady would work wonders with a Static Game.

+Farhan Kapadia RIGHT

Seriously, there was so much wasted potential with that 2011 series. Static could have been an A-lister in the DC universe...maybe someday we'll see something good done with him again

+lazyrmc I think DC didn't believe Static was popular enough to continue to work on. Did it have amazing quality, yes, but for some reason he just didn't get enough attention.

Uh...Static came back in young justice but that show got cancelled at the end of season 2 :/ the reason why it was canceled was the waner bros where sexist against females.

elsrune yep

+The Otaku Dragon Slayer yep

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. www.rottentomatoes.com/m/batman_and_mr_freeze_subzero/

In the show it was when he first learned he could do that then his friend made an actual metallic disc

kabuto600 Watchcartoononline.com It has EVERYTHING! your welcome

Charles Tosti oh thank you man for this great website

kabuto600 i would actually recommend getting torrent downloads instead of going to a virus filled site.

theredsoxfan18 True but some torrents can cause viruses too. It's hard to imagine anyone living in 2014 without computer protection

lol

Bruh😭😭

the good ole days

When

I remember that lol

***** I'm not, my father though, that's a different, you see he has African Americans stigmatized as "Law breakers" and "Of poor taste of culture and unethical". Me however, I have plenty of African American friends.

Ivy Kenso Lol there was actually an episode similar to that. Static finds out his best friend's dad is... well like yours. Guess he could've learned something from the show himself.

you didn't miss much, i was never a fan of static shock as i felt it took away all of the stuff that made static relatable in the first place. the absence of any other milestone characters, no holocaust in the show either.

Glad my folk aren't racist, I could watch whatever I wanted to because race doesn't matter in a kids cartoon

I see where your coming from but I wouldn't recommend watching it. It was like a rip off show he didn't mean nothing like he doesn't even have movies to this day hes dead now #RipStatic

+CrazyDaisy Terra ...or a new live action series like Arrow and the Flash. Im good with eirther so long as they do good.

+CrazyDaisy Terra yeah TV series would be dope

You ain't getting it.

Bring It!

Same

That's weird, after I read the comics I had a tough time watching certain episodes of the cartoon because of how toned down things were in comparison to the comics

the revamp was pretty toned down. also issue one was ridiculously wordy and the art style was.. well some people loved it some loathed it.

I mean powers wise yeah but character wise they're pretty different

Agreed.I don't understand why they don't utilitize such an awesome character.

As long as Virgil is not played by Jaden Smith, I'm happy.

RNB guy Jaden Smith acts in movies, not TV shows. So don't worry.

StaticHD thats good to hear

StaticHD i wouldn't call it acting

TheGamingWaffle what else would you call his role in those movies then?

He probably died in Apokolips War.

With the way Hollywood is, along with some stupid Directors, they'll probably make Static a White Guy or someone that doesn't resemble a dark skinned Black Man. It's just a feeling I have.

That would be awesome I was thinking the same thing.

Freakazoid 6 years later still no static

He was on the mobile phone

Isaiah Quidilla I thought it was a live-action show

Isaiah Quidilla I thought it was a live-action show

KingSoar Shaw-Cruz I heard it was a movie to go along with their whole Cinematic Universe. Maybe because since they got Will Smith for Suicide Squad they had to give Jaden a role in something.

Jayden has proved in karate kid that he might be good

+Mostafa Shahin Then there was After earth

Pretty sure he'll have a spot...... And they have a live action tv show coming out

cook j what about cyborg isn't he from star labs

Ohhhhhhhhh he's dad did work at S.T.A.R. Lab........Good Eye

Thanks

There's a rumor that he might appear on Arrow & team up with Flash n em. So hyped if its true

Static was a Milestone character first. Actually, a lot of this video's history doesn't even touch on the material right. It's like they only used the cartoon as reference.

Your not the only one to notice that trend. But don't forget, Green Lantern in Justice League.

Static is kinda of s homage to Black Lighting and Tony Isabella. But there powerd are different. BL is a bio electric bsttery, like an electric eel, while static manipulates electromagnetic phenomena. Static can do way more stuff besides shoot electricity.

*their Incase grammar nazis are reading.

Bumblebee (Shrinking Abilities) and Vixen (All Animals Abilities).So not really.

well said

The God I want to agree, but I feel Marvels live action movies are boring. I love animated DC films though.

I'm guessing you never saw the Xmen and Spiderman animated series cause they were just as good as Batman in the 90s.

lol

Richard Rodriguez lol same!

Facts!! 😂😂

His character actually wasn't in the comics. But he was instead an amalgam of two of Static's friends. The closest one to him physically and character wise was Richard "Rick" Stone.

DJ Ezasscul yea he was gay in the comics and the show

Yes!!

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. I realize this comment was originally made in February but I felt like sharing my PoV from September.

They just might.

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.

Check out Grace Randolph's Beyond the Trailer channel. She did character profiles for each Guardian. Go to her channel and search for Guardians of the Galaxy 2014. Also, check out IGN's RU-vid channel as well. Just search for Guardians of the Galaxy. Hope this helps :)

Yes dude, I owe you a beer. Thanks

No problem! Though I'm not a dude, a beer would still be appreciated.

Well..Interesting how that turned out lol. I'm sorry. We are still up for that beer though?

Fuck no!😡 Jett Jackson better choice. . . [R.I.P Jet Jackson😘]

That comment made my eyes sting...

FUCK NOOOOO!!!!😡😡😡😠😠

Eh....no.

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.

static shock as leader?........ no not ever, no NEVER!!! friggin a rock could do a better job of leading a team than static could since he really doesnt have so much power anyway heck spiderman could beat him let alone batman

***** static is more than capable to lead teen titans.

***** 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.

i'm not sure let me check, no they don't have it. :( I just checked amazon

+14megasxlr i know, his show was awesome, i've never read his comic i'll buy em if i ever see them. since i don't buy comics that much. 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. if anything, i want another animated series for Static.. i miss watching the WB on saturday mornings, they always had awesome shows..

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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

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

its said we domt have many black heroes

+Dishawn Charles or villians but ._. i never read any comics but idk

I was 8 years old in 04 brah

Yea I was born in 04 too I remember everything
