Static Shock: Stats and Abilities

6,247
670
Hello everyone, I have some questions regarding Static's profile, as it seems to be lacking in a great deal of information.

Firstly, which version of static is it using? There's a reference to Static from milestone comics for his speed, a reference to Static from DC comics for his AP, and I saw in another thread that he used to be High 8-C for something he did on the TV show. Is this supposed to be a composite version of Static? Or should there be keys separating the three different types?

Secondly, does Static have any calcs for the feats listed on his page? They seem rather vague.

Lastly, Static from his 8-issue New 52 continuity is missing a few abilities. I will supply scans as needed, of course. Though I'll need to transfer them over to this device. Some of his missing abilities would be:

Regenerationn (Low, possibly Low-mid to Mid) (Has a shown and stated above average rate of healing. Also regenerated his arm when it was split in half).

Enhanced Senses (Can see the electromagnetic spectrum. He's used this multiple times to see the light given off by photons when electrons undergo a quantum jump. A UV photon)

Forcefield Creation (He can create a forcefield of electricity around himself. He also has a passive electromagnetic barrier that works to do things like deflect bullets)

Flight (With his disks or disk depending on the version used)

Intangibility Negation (He negated Phayze, Master of Density's intangibility)
 
He should get some attention. His page is severely lacking. The New 52 powers all look good. I'm sure if someone is willing to dig deep into the Milestone Comic/Pre New 52 DC version as well as the TV Show version, there's bound to be some more feats and abilities in there.

IIRC he has resistance to mind control. Ms Martian couldn't properly read his mind in the comics, and he resisted the Anti Life Equation on panel, and was stated to consistently do so which is why the Dark Side Club kept him locked up. I think in the comics he harmed another Electricity Power user who under most circumstances is resistant to electricity manipulation by scattering their electrons and making them rebound back or something.....i don't remember as it was a while since i read anything on it.
 
Yeah. I haven't read too much of Static outside of his New 52 counterpart and the Holocaust Arc he had with the Titans. I should dredge that up next time I'm by my comic collection, to see if I have it.

I didn't know any of that other stuff though, it sounds solid. Consistently resisting the Anti Life Equation is quite the feat. Though the latter sounds like Static using his intelligence to outwit an opponent like he normally does.

I'm not sure if I'll be able to go through the entire series, but I do have the first season on DVD, so I might be able to get around to watching that eventually. I do know that when he fought the entire justice league he was able to barely outpace The Flash while he was running on water.
 
Here's some stuff for him. In the Terror Titans storyline, which is after the Milestone run but before he joined the Teen Titans (Milestone and DC Comics Static is the same continutiy). Here he was captured by the Dark Side Club at some point and put under the Anti Life Equation. He was forced to fight in an underground fight club for metahumans and became the champion, but was eventually locked away because he was too much to control.

Here he fights and basically stomps Ravager. ( https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/Ravager_(Post-Crisis) )

Ravager, like Static, is listed as 8-C, Building level. Due to the fact that Static completely stomped her, this places him an an even higher end of that tier. This should probably be added into his profile as it gives better scaling for him compared to other DC characters. Ravager is also listed as Massively Hypersonic, and even higher with Pre Cog. In the panel, it was stated that she was using Pre Cog and just barely survivng, and Static managed to defeat her rather quickly. So Static's speed should be upgraded to Massively Hypersonic for completely outclassing Ravager.

He also has mind manipulation resistance. He managed to resist and completely neg the Anti Life Equation.

As far as continuity goes, Milestone Static and DC Static are the same, and the New 52 Static is implied to be the same, or at the very least has all of the same continuity as Milestone/DC Static.


Also, going back to the Milestone Comics, Static has his rating for destroying a building, though it was his enemy D Struct that destroyed it.

However Static took multiple hits from him throught the story and managed to even punch him through a wall.

Using his power he was able to lift a ferris wheel car and launch it at high speed, and then lift and drop the entire ferris wheel itself.

With the help of Starlight, he created a magnetic field to stop a speeding F-4 Jet from crashing into a building and land it safely in an open space. It was a 2 person effort but based on the dialogue, Static was the one that was more confident and level headed doing more controlled movements.

DC Continuity

More mind manipulation resistance. Ms Martian couldn't locate him telepathically, and he was still within the bounds of the city at that point.

This wiki has Static destroying Titans Tower as a feat already but I'll just show a little more context on it. Static was trapped in a room that was made to counter his powers, and it was coated in Teflon. Even so, he generated a charge strong enough to destroy the building.

He managed to also affect and harm the Post Crisis version of Cyborg with it. Apparently, Static was in California while Cyborg was in New York. I don't know if this is anything that can be measured or not though.

New 52 Static

Static isn't known for his hand to hand combat ability, but here shows that he's fairly competent, skilled, and strong in his own right, so some sort of hand to hand proficiency can get added to it.

Yeah. Looks solid. Thank you.

To get the attention of an admin, we just have to leave a link to the thread on one of their message walls.
 
I think that the profile should preferably strictly use feats from the same continuity for each statistics key, and only list the versions that we can either calculate or scale the statistics for.
 
Yes, but only if you have something reliable to scale the respective statistics from.
 
Yes. You can ask in the regular request thread if you wish.
