	Representations of race and place in Static Shock, King of the Hill, and South Park - Coloring Whiteness and Blackvoice ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Static Shock represents an appropriation of a traditionally raced rhetoric of brotherhood to heal an injured whiteness whose represented dysfunction is associated with urban spaces, limited purchasing power, and family dissolution brought about by an absence of white paternal figures.
		Virgil Hawkins, the ordinary ego of superhero Static Shock, is a somewhat reluctant hero in that his powers, like Jackie's in his Asian-themed cartoon, are narrowly determined.
		Static's implied inferiority is further marked by his pairing with a white buddy figure, who cheerfully offers those skills that Static seems to lack.

	Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Static

		Static was the only Milestone hero to make it into TV cartoons.

	Robin in Static Shock and TT??? - The Superhero Hype! Boards
		Static Shock was always has been and always will be built on the intention on it being in the DCAU.
		"Static Shock" is within the normal DCU animated continuity, as Batman, Robin, and the entire Justice League, as they are with the voice actors, too, have appeared on his show.
		I never watched "Static Shock" really, the only whole episode I caught was the one with the JL, when they battled Brainiac (and where Flash performed one of his coolest moves ever, and it wasn't even on JL; kicking a robot in half with a super-speed jump-kick).

	Teen Titans & Static Shock
		The problem is that several other kids from his school (both friends and enemies) have been exposed to same gas, and developed powers of their own (these kids are referred to as “Bang Babies.”); some become allies, while others, such as school bully F-Stop, become his foes.
		What makes Static Shock especially effective is its ability to portray teenage life (and angst) as it really is, with issues which face many teens on a daily basis; I was especially impressed how it presents the anti-gang message in the first episode without being condescending.
		Static Shock features less-informative extras, which is too bad, since the origins of this show are probably more interesting.

	Sequart.com Articles: Modernism and the Birth of the American Superhero
		However, while we may not see the traditional concept of the superhero appear until after the first decade of the twentieth century, one can certainly trace backwards to the turn of the century and find evidence of characteristics and ideals that would eventually apply to the superhero genre.
		A community in a harmonious paradise is threatened by evil; normal institutions fail to contend with this threat; a selfless superhero emerges to renounce temptations and carry out the redemptive task; aided by fate, his decisive victory restores the community to its paradisiacal condition; the superhero then recedes into obscurity [his secret identity].
		Our twenty-first-century superhero is a product of self-examination and the next century's superheroes are sure to be filled with the mystery and wonder that creates America itself, as a nation and a spirit.

		With powers even greater than before, Static and Gear were able to take Ebon and Hotstreak down—but whether they remained gone is another story.
		Static’s team consists of his friend Richie Foley as “Gear”, a late Bang Baby bloomer, and Shenice Vale as “She-Bang”, a genetically enhanced girl.

	Time for Kids \| Specials \| ON THE SET OF STATIC SHOCK
		Here's the scoop on how the superhero teen balances keeping his community safe, his grades up and his "super" identity a secret.
		The biggest question there is will I go someplace close to Dakota to be near my family or would I go farther away, but I guess that's a bridge that I'm going to have to cross when I come to it, that's if I get in anywhere.
		My message to kids would be that you don't have to be a superhero to be the best person you can be and to do something positive for the world and your community.

	Bullet Points #2 Review - Silver Bullet Comics
		I've heard a lot of people express their admiration for his style, but it definitely doesn't work for me. The inking looks sketchy and unfinished, the colouring is drab and dull, and the whole thing just feels very static.
		Superhero comics should offer excitement and spectacle, but this visual approach really detracts from any sense of immediacy that the story might have had under a different artist.
		I'm not thrilled that he's been chosen to helm Mark Millar's forthcoming 1985 after the fumetti approach fell through on that project, and I can't honestly imagine a superhero book that he would be suited to.

		Static says "you mean they did this because they thought you were gay?", to which his mate replies "Yes -- and they were right.

		The voice on the shock-box was garbled a bit, but considering that Virgil Hawkins, also known as the Bang Baby superhero Static, was currently halfway across the solar system from Earth and heading for another galaxy, the reception on the recently improved communicator wasn’t too bad.
		That left Static, and Static would either learn to give him space by watching what Reilly’s venom was about to do to his sidekick…or Reilly would give Dakota’s other superhero a firsthand taste of what it could do.
		A few of the younger kids were mock-fighting along with the action on the t.v., some were pretending to be Static, Gear, and the other heroes of Dakota, some playing the villains.
