!!Titular Hero

[[folder:Static (Virgil Hawkins)]]
[[quoteright:270:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/static.png]]
-->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/PhilLaMarr

A high school student in Dakota City. As a result of accidental exposure to an experimental mutagen in an event known as the Big Bang, he gained the ability to control and manipulate electromagnetism, and uses these powers to become a superhero named "Static." Countless others who were also exposed also gained a wide variety of mutations and abilities, and Static spends much of his time dealing with these "Bang Babies", many of whom use their abilities in selfish, harmful, and even criminal ways.
----
* {{Adorkable}}: Is a Fanboy of comics, superheroes, zombie movies, and video games, and heavily interested in the sciences.
* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Virgil can be grating to Sharon.
* AscendedFanboy: It's often mentioned how much of a huge fan he was of superheroes before the start of the series (particularly the likes of Superman and the Green Lantern). Once he gains powers of his own, he ends up working alongside the members of the Justice League and earns the respect of all of them. By the time of the ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond'' era, he's established as one of the Earth's greatest heroes.
* BadassBookworm: While not being of genius intellect like Richie, Virgil's very good with science to the point where he was accepted into a school for gifted students and has a good understanding of how his electromagnetic powers work. He's also good at school as implied in "Tantrum" where he got the second highest grade (a 95) with the only grade higher than him getting a 99 (and didn't get the full 100 due to a ''single contraction''). In fact, it's implied that Static was the smarter of the two before Richie developed SuperIntelligence as his power.
* BadassGrandpa: In the time travel related episode of ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueUnlimited'', Virgil is still as great a hero as before. He credits modern medicine in his time. "65's the new 30."
* BadassLongcoat: A spiffy black and blue one.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Do ''not'' hurt his friends or he'll teach you this lesson the hard way.
* BlackAndNerdy: He's an honor roll student that's heavily into Comic Books/Superheroes and occasionally gets bullied around (especially pre-series).
* BrainyBrunette: An honor student.
* CatchPhrase: "I put a shock to your system!"
* CharacterDevelopment: Over the series, Virgil matures into a proper superhero. On a more personal level, Virgil eventually comes to grips with his mother's death.
* ChickMagnet: Virgil's superhero identity has given him a number of fangirls finding him ''very'' attractive.
* CoolLoser: Smart, good looking, fun to be around, and all around nice guy. Too bad many of his peers deem him a loser, especially in the time he didn't have his powers.
* CostumeEvolution: In later seasons, Static trades in his white t-shirt with black ChestInsignia for a sleeveless black tee with a yellow insignia, which he wears [[SleevesAreForWimps without the jacket]] in warm weather. He also ditches his yellow goggles for blue-tinted CoolShades.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Static's main color scheme is black with dark blue, but he is a definite good guy.
* DeadpanSnarker: Much like Franchise/SpiderMan.
* DoesntLikeGuns: Something he and Batman have in common, given that their parents were both killed by gunfire.
* ElectricBlackGuy: Virgil is an African-American superhero with the power to generate electricity.
* EmbarrassingMiddleName: Ovid.
* FutureBadass: Virgil turns out to not only be a member of the Justice League, but is called one of the greatest heroes on Earth by not just Batman, but ''two'' Batmen.
* GenreSavvy: Virgil and Richie are into comic books and live in the {{DCAU}}.
* ImmuneToMindControl: The titular main character is immune to mind control whether induced by a psychic, or by mechanical means. It apparently has something to do with the Electro-Magnetic field he produces.
* IronicNickname: Static, ostensibly, refers to static electricity. It can also mean something fixed or stationary, lacking movement or vitality, or showing little change. Virgil is none of those things, in either the comics or TV series.
* JumpedAtTheCall: He was very quick to find a costume and get out into the city to clean it up.
* TheKnightsWhoSaySquee: When he meets GreenLantern John Stewart, his hero on multiple levels. Which due to [[spoiler: Sinestro,]] was briefly a BrokenPedestal.
* LightningCanDoAnything: Like making a living being's aura visible, summoning pipes from below ground or picking up radio signals, or an emergency power source for a GreenLantern ring.
* LightningGlare: When he's either really charged up or really mad, his eyes glow with electricity.
* MagnetismManipulation: His secondary power besides ShockAndAwe. HollywoodMagnetism is in full effect, as he uses this power to fly and manipulate objects that actual electromagnetism wouldn't normally be able to.
* MissingMom: His mother was killed in a riot. Several episodes highlight how major this is to him.
* MommasBoy: He deeply loved his mother and her death took him a long time to finally accept.
* MundaneUtility: Does it a lot, especially early on. He even uses his powers to grab his keys in the opening credits!
* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: He's named after two Roman poets, Virgil and Ovid. [[WordOfGod According to series creator Dwayne McDuffie]], he's also named after Virgil D. Hawkins, who desegregated the University of Florida's Law School.
* NiceGuy: A laid-back, kind person who stands up for others.
* OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent: Was this, until the Big Bang gave him (and a bunch of other people) superpowers.
* ShockAndAwe: There's a reason he provides the Trope Picture.
* SkySurfing: Usually on a flying disk, or even on a garbage can lid or manhole cover. And he's even learned how to surf on power lines.
* TimeTravel: Got warped into ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond'' thanks to a surging jolt of energy, and must save his future self in "Future Shock". He also gets sent back to the night of the Dakota Riots in ''Flashback'', and meets his mother on the night she died.
* TookALevelInBadass: Canonically becomes one of the most powerful heroes as a mature adult.
* WeaksauceWeakness: He can't get wet while he's charged up, otherwise he'll "short out." Allegedly, his powers don't work on wood and rubber, but this is portrayed very inconsistently.
* WouldHitAGirl: He once was willing to murder one when she was indirectly responsible for Daisy getting hurt.
* YouFightLikeACow: Static's near Franchise/SpiderMan levels when it comes to taunting opponents.

!!Family

[[folder:Sharon Hawkins]]
[[quoteright:210:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/char_8846.jpg]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Michele Morgan

Virgil's older sister. Sharon attends college, but she still lives at home. She volunteers at a hospital, and counsels young people at the Freeman Community Center. Although deep down, she and her younger brother do love each other in a brother-sister way; they frequently argue, challenge, and tease each other, mainly about things such as the household chores, his studying, and her cooking (which is usually barely edible).
----
* CoolBigSis: Despite how easily they annoy each other, Sharon does want to be seen as this.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindows: Matching black hair and eyes.
* DaddysGirl: Sharon is very close to her father.
* GirlishPigtails: Her main hairstyle throughout the entire series.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Loud and annoying, but has a caring and sweet heart.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: She's yet to learn that her brother is Static, even after her dad revealed that he's known all along. In a previous episode, she's figured it out until she was "proven" wrong.
* MoralityPet: [[AntiVillain Adam]] made a full reform because of Sharon's influence.
* OfficialCouple: With Adam aka Rubberband Man.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Robert Hawkins]]
[[quoteright:130:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/char_8843_thumb.jpg]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KevinMichaelRichardson

A social worker who runs the Freeman Community Center as head counselor. He is a widower and the single father of two teenagers—Virgil and Sharon. He dislikes gangs and the destructive attitudes of most Bang Babies, and his work at the community center is motivated by a desire to counteract their bad influence on young people.
----
* AdultFear: When he finds out that his son has been fighting dangerous criminals in secret.
* DadTheVeteran: It is heavily implied that he was a Marine earlier in life.
* {{Fanboy}}: As a kid, Robert was a big admirer of the superhero Soul Power and bought the hero's comic book. He greatly regretted the day his mother made him throw them away.
* FantasticRacism: Downplayed; he assumes that all of the Bang Babies are thugs and criminals, largely because the Big Bang was caused by a gang war. He loses this attitude over time as he notices all of the good that Static and Rubberband Man do in the city.
* GoodParents: Robert is a caring father to his kids.
* NiceGuy: An all around great person: Devoted husband (later boyfriend), loving father, and is dedicated to helping other kids.
* OverprotectiveDad: At times.
* ParentalSubstitute: Acts as a positive father figure to Virgil's best friend, Richie.
* SecretSecretKeeper: He had figured out his son was a superhero a while ago.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Jean Hawkins]]
[[quoteright:294:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jean_hawkins_dcau_001.png]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Michele Morgan (uncredited, "Tantrum"); Alfre Woodard ("Flashback")

She is late wife of Robert Hawkins, and mother of Sharon and Virgil. Jean is frequently mentioned throughout the series. Jean was a paramedic and died from stray gunfire during the Dakota Riots.
----
* AllLovingHeroine: She was dedicated to helping people.
* DeathByAdaptation: Her comics counterpart is alive and well.
* DeceasedParentsAreTheBest: While alive, Jean knew what made her kids tick and was able to use that to help them through their problems.
* HeroicLineage: As Robert put it, she had a stubborn streak like her kids, and also shares a strong desire to help others.
* NiceGirl: [[GoodParents A great mother]], [[HappilyMarried loving wife]], [[AllLovingHero would help anyone]], and an overall good person.
* PosthumousCharacter: Her death serves to fuel a lot of angst for Virgil.
* SoProudOfYou: [[spoiler:"Flashback" has Virgil going back in time in an attempt to prevent Jean's death and revealing to her his superhero life. He doesn't prevent her death, but alters the timeline a bit: She kept telling her co-workers how proud she was of her son and that he was her ''superhero''.]]

!!Friends
[[folder:Gear (Richie Foley)]]
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gear.png]]
-->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/JasonMarsden

Virgil's best friend and confidant. At first, he merely provides support for his friend, making gadgets for him and helping to cover for Virgil to protect his secret identity. In the third season, it is revealed Richie's passive exposure to the Bang Gas gave him enhanced intelligence, which enabled him to easily invent rocket-powered boots and "Backpack", a highly intelligent multipurpose device worn on the back capable of surveillance and other semi-independent activity. With this equipment, he adopted the superhero identity "Gear" and becomes Static's full-time partner in crime-fighting.
----
* {{Adorkable}}: Is a Fanboy of comics, superheroes, zombie movies, and video games, and heavily interested in the sciences.
* BigEater: This ends up catching up to him. The ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond'' crossover shows that he eventually becomes overweight, though given Static's comment, this might not be the case.
* ClarkKenting: His helmet has a transparent visor that we can see right though, yet no one recognizes him.
* ContagiousPowers: Possibly due to Virgil not changing his clothes from the previous night and being hit by the Bang Baby gas, Richie, who came into close contact with him the very next day likely inhaled the residue of the gas from Virgil's clothing and slowly developed powers of his own.
* DeadpanSnarker: Engages in witty banter with Virgil a lot.
* DistressedDude: Prone to getting kidnapped a lot, even after becoming Gear.
* FoodAsBribe: Accidentally revealed AJ's whereabouts once bribed with a burger with grilled onions.
* GadgeteerGenius: Even before he develops his powers, he's pretty handy with the tech, inventing Static's flying disk, his Zap Caps, and a bunch of other tools. When he gets his powers, he goes from mechanical whizz to full blown Super Genius. He initially thought his power was [[WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway rather lame]]: "How am I supposed to fight supervillains, ''think'' them into submission? All I can be is your Mega-Mechanic." Which turns out to be a great way to fight supervillains.
* HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday: This was the creators' way of implying he was gay. It went no further than this.
* IJustWantToBeSpecial: A couple of early episodes focus on his jealousy towards Static and his powers. By the time he gets over it, he's got powers of his own.
* LateArrivalSpoiler: Anyone familiar with the series by now knows that he eventually becomes a Bang Baby and becomes Static's sidekick. [[SpoilerOpening The 3rd opening even has scenes of him as Gear]], even though it doesn't actually happen until two or three episodes into the season.
* OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent: Unlike Virgil, he stays this way until the 3rd Season, where he develops a delayed mutation and becomes Gear.
* RollerbladeGood: Invents rocket skates that can fly.
* SecretKeeper: He's the first person Virgil tells about his powers and serves as his confidant for two seasons.
* StraightGay: Let's face it, you wouldn't know he was without both WordOfGod confirming it along with his "HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday" moments.
* SuperIntelligence: Got this power, manifesting as GadgeteerGenius.
* {{Technopath}}: As Gear, he employed a variety of high-tech devices and weapons, including:
** Back-Pack, a robot unit usable as a probe and portable computer assistance system.
** Jet-Blades, vectored thruster-equipped jet boots, from modified roller blades.
** Jet-Board, a hoverboard.
** A sensor and neural interface control helmet.
** Zap Caps, Mark I, grenade-like explosive balls
** Zap Caps, Mark II, grenade-like balls with metal bands for restraining purposes.
* TokenWhite: The only white member of the principal cast
* WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway: Richie felt this way when they first realized he was getting smarter.

[[folder:Rubberband Man (Adam Evans)]]
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/1643127_12.jpg]]
-->'''Voiced By:''' Kadeem Hardison

A meta-human whose body structure consists of shapeable rubber. He is the younger brother of Static's archenemy, Ebon. Rubber-Band Man first appears a tragic villain when he goes after an opportunistic record producer who stole one of his songs. He subsequently breaks out of prison but decides not to pursue a criminal career, however; he begins dating Virgil's sister Sharon, and although he initially clashes with Static, he reforms and becomes one of his allies in crime-fighting.
----
* AdaptationalHeroism: Comic book Rubberband Man was just a thug. This one has a legitimate FreudianExcuse when introduced, and ends up pulling a HeelFaceTurn.
* AdaptationNameChange: His real name in the comics is Karmon Stringer.
* AntiVillain: Before his HeelFaceTurn. He was pissed when a record company stole his song, and settled for getting some cash from producer, only for the guy to lock him in a safe with no air. In his second appearance, he tried to live a normal life as a rapper, only for Static to accidentally expose him.
* TheAtoner: After his HeelFaceTurn, he makes genuine effort to atone for his crimes by helping the cops.
* CainAndAbel: The Abel to Ebon's Cain.
* ChronicVillainy: At first; after being a supervillain in his first episode, he tries to return to a honest life as a rapper in his civilian identity, but an accident causes his first concert to go wrong and Static exposes him, forcing him to return to villainy. Fortunately, he eventually is allowed to reform.
* CostumeEvolution: Just like Static, he gets a sleeker, darker-colored costume in the third season. He also loses the "helmet" he always wore, giving him more of a Mr. Fantastic type of look.
* HeelFaceTurn: Starts out as a rapper trying to get revenge on his old record company. Eventually evolves into a true hero.
* LIsForDyslexia: He is functionally illiterate because of it, and therefore never reads his reviews, fan mail, or even restaurant menus. It is the subject of a surprisingly plot-important VerySpecialEpisode, which unfortunately gets some of its facts wrong.[[note]]It perpetuates the myth that dyslexics see jumbled words and that Thomas Edison, George Washington, and Albert Einstein had dyslexia.[[/note]]
* MundaneUtility: Quite awesomely figures out how to use his stretching powers to overcome some of his dyslexia. This is done in other ways, as well.
* OfficialCouple: With Sharon Hawkins.
* RubberMan: His power.
* SecretIdentityIdentity: In his second appearance, he has discarded his Adam Evans identity to live as a rapper known as Stringer. He goes back to his normal identity after his reform.

[[folder:She-Bang (Shenice Vale)]]
[[quoteright:333:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/she_bang.png]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Rosslyn Talor-Jordan

She-Bang, whose real name is Shanice Vale, is a girl with superhuman strength, stamina, agility, reflexes, and endurance. Although she seems like a meta-human she actually was not exposed to the gas; she is really a science project made by her parents, Jonathon and Dolores, who made her chromosome by chromosome. They fell in love with her and went into hiding from a group of people who want to clone her, so she had to act like a shy, normal person till she moved to Dakota trying to blend in with the other Bang-Babies. When all the people who were after her were captured, she and her parents moved back to Dakota.
----
* ArtificialHuman: She was made in a lab as the perfect SuperSoldier, but the scientists who made her grew to care for Shenice and adopted her.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: In her last appearance she returned to Dakota and joined Virgil and Richie. She is never seen after that.
* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ixdv1yO352I She's So Fly]].
* SassyBlackWoman: Her normal self in her She-Bang persona and civilian one after TheMenInBlack weren't after her family anymore. Though her friends were a little surprised by her sudden attitude change, and not in a good way.
* SendInTheClones: What the company that was after her intended to do if Static and Gear hadn't rescued her.
* ShrinkingViolet: What she pretended to be in her civilian identity before the people trying to capture her family were finally brought to justice.
* SmugSuper: Her normal personality has minor shades of this, though in later appearances it turns more into general pushiness.
* SuperReflexes: Her other main ability. She moves like a gymnast across the rooftops of Dakota.
* SuperSoldier: What she was supposed to be, before her "parents" had a change of heart.
* SuperStrength: One of her main abilities.

!!Antagonists

[[folder:Ebon (Ivan Evans)]]
[[quoteright:242:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ebon.png]]
-->'''Voiced By:''' Gary Sturgis

The head of a large group of Bang Babies called "The Meta-Breed" and the series' main villain. Ebon is an unusually powerful and strong meta-human; a living shadow and inter-dimensional portal able to hide within, control and manipulate pure darkness and shadows, as well as transport others to various locations of his choice.
----
* ArchEnemy: Arguably the closest of any of the villains in the series to being Static's. [[http://dcanimated.wikia.com/wiki/Ebon The DCAU wiki]] explicitly states this in his article.
* BigBad: By virtue of being the leader of most Gang Baby criminals.
* BigBrotherInstinct: Ebon wants to look out for his younger brother Adam, but his definition of protection is for him to join up with his gang of metahuman criminals. Unfortunately, Adam isn't looking to go bad again.
* CastingAShadow: His powers allow him to slide along solid surfaces, extend his body to great lengths, and even open portals to different locations.
* CatchPhrase:"He-ro"
* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: Is smart enough to realize that he's seen Richie in the same area as Static too many times for it to be a coincidence and captures him to try and force Static out multiple times. Is also smart enough to notice the visual similarities between Static and Virgil and captures Virgil, though the latter time Static and Gear manage to fool him by changing security camera footage.
* DarkIsEvil: His power literally is to turn into a LivingShadow, and he is a gang leader trying to take advantage on Gang Babies to accumulate power.
* DiabolicalMastermind: Relative to the other villains.
* DoNotCallMePaul: He hates being called "Ivan".
* EvilCounterpart: Ebon is this to Adam in episodes where they both feature. Ebon is his brother, and while their powers are very different they tend to use them in similar ways (Ebon, for example, often stretches himself using shadows in a way that mirrors Adam's rubber powers).
* FromNobodyToNightmare: Ivan was just some nobody desperate to break into big crime. Then the Big Bang happened and he became Ebon, one Static's most reoccurring foes and the closest to being his ArchEnemy. Talon even points this out in the finale after [[spoiler:a cure is found and he loses his powers. He doesn't want to be a nobody again.]]
* LivingShadow: His mutation literally turned him into one.
* ObviouslyEvil: [[DarkIsEvil Shadow-based powers]], [[EvilSoundsDeep deep echoing voice]] and a gang leader. Yeah, definitely not a good guy.
* PersonalityPowers: A deceptive, manipulative gang leader trying to expand his influence over Dakota, who ended up with shadow-based powers.
* ScaryBlackMan: In addition to being literally made of shadow after his mutation, it's revealed in the finale that he indeed was black as a regular human. However, given the fact that he and Adam are brothers it should have been obvious.
* WeakenedByTheLight: Though he can come outside in the day and be just fine, focused beams of light are what really hurt him.
* WeaksauceWeakness: Considering that his main enemy manipulates electromagnetism, he goes down in seconds whenever electric lights can be found.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Hotstreak (Francis Stone)]]
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sunspots.png]]
-->'''Voiced By:''' Danny Cooksey

Hotstreak (Francis Stone/F-Stop) was one of the gang members at the docks when the Big Bang occurred. After being exposed to the gas, Francis Stone became Hotstreak. His powers added to his hotheadedness by giving him the ability to create and shoot blasts of fire.
----
* AdaptationNameChange: In the comics, his real name is Martin Scaponi and his nickname is "Biz Money B".
* AdaptationPersonalityChange: The comic Hotstreak was a racist, this Hotstreak isn't.
* AdaptationDyeJob: He was red hair with yellow streaks instead of being blond.
* TheBully: And Virgil was one of his favorite targets.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: In one episode, he and Static are trapped on an island together. Static proposes an EnemyMine, but Hotstreak is more interested in fighting it out until Static points out to him that his fire powers wouldn't stand a chance against Static's electrical powers on account of them being surrounded by water.
* DoNotCallMePaul: He does ''not'' like being referred to as "Francis".
* EvilIsPetty: Well, he started out as a school bully, so this is to be expected. Mot memorably, he once [[DisproportionateRetribution wrecked a cinema because he had just seen a bad movie]].
* EvilRedhead: Also has blond highlights to keep with his fire motif.
* FieryRedhead: His hair even has blond streaks to mimic his powers.
* HotBlooded: No kidding. Pun aside, he's got an awful temper.
* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: He helps Static out when they're chained together and even helps [[spoiler: de-petrify Alva Jr.]], but it never even puts a dent in his villainous persona. In fact, he's arguably worse in both of his subsequent appearances.
* PersonalityPowers: Hotstreak has anger issues, so it's only fitting that he got fire powers.
* PlayingWithFire: He becomes pyrokinetic after surviving the Big Bang.
* StarterVillain: He's the first serious threat that Static ever faces. He even beats Static in their first battle because Virgil is still afraid of him. Once he gets past the mental block, Static is able to beat him on a pretty regular basis.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: For unknown reasons, he was in a hospital for ''two years'' as a kid, and gets nervous when he's in one.
* WreathedInFlames: He eventually learned how to fly by surrounding himself with a flaming aura.

[[folder:Talon (Teresa)]]
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/talon.png]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Tia Texada

A teenage girl, Talon is a metahuman whose exposure to the Big Bang transformed her into a humanoid avian bird, a fact which she was really bitter about throughout the series. As a metahuman, Talon had claw-like digits on her hands and talon-like digits on her feet; she was covered in yellow feathers, but retained her red hair color. The most notable attribute of her transformation was a set of feathered patagia extending from her scapula to her forearms which enabled her to fly by flapping her arms. As an offensive aspect bestowed upon her by her exposure to the Big Bang, Talon could emit incredibly strong, large, visible lavender-colored hypersonic shrieks from her mouth and vocal cords
----
* [[BeastMan Beast Girl]]: Part girl, part bird.
* FeatheredFiend: Part of the reason she joins the Ebon is because her bird form is quite shocking to the rest of Dakota.
* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:At the end of the series, after losing her powers.]]
* HiddenDepths: She appears to be bitter all the time. [[spoiler:It's because of becoming a freak.]]
* IJustWantToBeNormal: [[spoiler:Having spent the entire series angry over her bird-like appearance, Talon is more than happy to lose her powers to look like her old self]].
* KnownOnlyByTheirNickname: Until she [[spoiler:loses her powers]] in the finale. [[spoiler:Though Ebon still prefers to call her Talon when he tries to force her back into his gang]].
* MakeMeWannaShout: She can emit sonic waves from her mouth.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Shiv]]
[[quoteright:210:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/char_8849.jpg]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Brian Tochi

Getting his 'nom-de-crime' from a shiv (a kind of bladed weapon), Shiv is the immature jokester of the Meta-Breed.
----
* AxCrazy: Big fan of SeldDemonstrating/TheJoker.
* KnownOnlyByTheirNickname: Unlike Ebon and Talon, we never learn what his real name is.
* GreenLanternRing / SwissArmySuperpower: Has the ability to form all kinds of solid weapons out of HardLight.
* SlasherSmile: Most of the time, it's his only expression.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Shiv's hair is purple--it's implied that it's dyed.

[[folder:Puff]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Kimberly Brooks

A female Bang Baby with the power to breathe various (usually corrosive) gases.

[[folder:Onyx]]

Puff's partner in crime, he's a purple giant with super-strength.

[[folder:Kangorr]]
[[quoteright:210:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/char_8834.jpg]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Kevin Michael Richardson

Kangorr is an original character to the animated series who has never appeared in the comic books. Kangorr's real name is never mentioned, and much of his backstory is never brought up in the series—-which puts Kangorr across as just another juvenile delinquent gangbanger, but with some common sense, making him into one of the more formidable Bang-Babies in the series. Kangorr was another of the victims of the Bang Baby gas incident at the docks.
----
* CanonForeigner: He's a bit villain created for the show. Naturally, this also means he rarely appears and we know next to nothing about him.
* ExtremityExtremist: Fights only with his feet. Justified, as that's where all his superpowers are.
* MisplacedAccent: Kangorr speaks with a Jamaican accent, although there's nothing to suggest that he's from Jamaica. However, it should be noted that the only thing known about his past is that he went to Juvie with Ebon and the rest.
* NiceHat: A blue beanie.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Ferret]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Chick Vennera

A wimpy crook with the power of... super-smelling?

[[folder:Permafrost (Maureen Connors)]]
[[quoteright:344:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/2425489_permafrost.jpg]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/HyndenWalch

Following her mother's death, Maureen Conner became homeless, and developed psychiatric problems from the sheer rejection and loneliness. After the Big Bang, her hair turned white and her skin light blue, and she became an incredibly strong cryokinetic, able to create manipulate and control frost, sleet, flurries, snow and ice, and create massive blizzards, hailstorms, and snowstorms.
----
* AntiVillain: Permafrost isn't really a villain, just a mentally scarred, confused young girl--and while not perfectly innocent, she isn't psychotically evil. It's even said by a fellow homeless person that she's not a bad person, she's just got a lot of mental problems.
* BrokenBird: Her stepfather left her and her mother literally just moments before her mother died when she was just a little kid...and that's not even adding the Big Bang into the equation.
* CooldownHug: Static pulls one off to calm her down. Not only does it work, but her skin actually changes color from blue to her old tone.
* FingerlessGloves: A blue pair.
* AnIcePerson: As her name suggest, she controls ice.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: {{Justified}}. Her hair turned white after being exposed by the Big Bang.

[[folder:Madelyn Spaulding]]
[[quoteright:226:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/madelyn_spaulding.png]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Kimberly Brooks

Once attending Dakota Union High School, Madelyn Spaulding was a self-centered and controlling girl. The Big Bang gave her telepathy and mind-control powers; but after Static electrocuted her into a coma, she later wakes up and her powers are replaced by telekinesis and levitation.
----
* AcademicAlphaBitch: She tries to be. Madelyn's not very well liked because of her prissy attitude.
* AndYourLittleDogToo: "Get that superhero, and his little tape too!"
* BroughtDownToNormal: For a while. She thought she lost her powers permanently until she discovered she could move things with her mind.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: She's one of the few Bang Babies who didn't make an appearance during the series finale.
* ControlFreak: The whole point of her character. In her first appearance, developing mind control abilities caused her to go insane and try to control everyone into obeying her, eventually leading to her snapping when Static still won't. In her second appearance, she spent most of the episode trying to take the group's control away from Ebon.
* DudeWheresMyRespect: She goes on a rampage all to gain the title of student council president, but also gives off a rant about how she's very under appreciated despite all her hard work.

* SuperOCD: She's a perfectionist.
* VillainousBreakdown: In her first appearance; Static refusing to obey her when she is controlling everyone else is what causes her to snap.
[[/folder]]

* IAmNotShazam: It's ''Static'', not "Static Shock." It doesn't help that the 3rd Season theme song goes on and on about "Superhero Static Shock!" [[CallAndResponseSong (whoop-whoop!)]]

* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: Is smart enough to realize that he's seen Richie in the same area as Static too many times for it to be a coincidence and captures him to try and force Static out. Is also smart enough to notice the visual similarities between Static and Virgil and captures Virgil, though the latter time Static and Gear manage to fool him by changing security camera footage.

[[folder:Richard "Richie" Foley/Gear]]
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gear.png]]
-->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/JasonMarsden

Virgil's best friend and confidant. At first, he merely provides support for his friend, making gadgets for him and helping to cover for Virgil to protect his secret identity. In the third season, it is revealed Richie's passive exposure to the Bang Gas gave him enhanced intelligence, which enabled him to easily invent rocket-powered boots and "Backpack", a highly intelligent multipurpose device worn on the back capable of surveillance and other semi-independent activity. With this equipment, he adopted the superhero identity "Gear" and becomes Static's full-time partner in crime-fighting.

* {{Adorkable}}: Is a Fanboy of comics, superheroes, zombie movies, and video games, and heavily interested in the sciences.
* BigEater: This ends up catching up to him. The ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond'' crossover shows that he eventually becomes overweight, though given Static's comment, this might not be the case.
* ClarkKenting: His helmet has a transparent visor that we can see right though, yet no one recognizes him.
* ContagiousPowers: Possibly due to Virgil not changing his clothes from the previous night and being hit by the Bang Baby gas, Richie, who came into close contact with him the very next day likely inhaled the residue of the gas from Virgil's clothing and slowly developed powers of his own.
* DeadpanSnarker: Engages in witty banter with Virgil a lot.
* DistressedDude: Prone to getting kidnapped a lot, even after becoming Gear.
* FoodAsBribe: Accidentally revealed AJ's whereabouts once bribed with a burger with grilled onions.
* GadgeteerGenius: Even before he develops his powers, he's pretty handy with the tech, inventing Static's flying disk, his Zap Caps, and a bunch of other tools. When he gets his powers, he goes from mechanical whizz to full blown Super Genius. He initially thought his power was [[WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway rather lame]]: "How am I supposed to fight supervillains, ''think'' them into submission? All I can be is your Mega-Mechanic." Which turns out to be a great way to fight supervillains.
* HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday: This was the creators' way of implying he was gay. It went no further than this.
* IJustWantToBeSpecial: A couple of early episodes focus on his jealousy towards Static and his powers. By the time he gets over it, he's got powers of his own.
* LateArrivalSpoiler: Anyone familiar with the series by now knows that he eventually becomes a Bang Baby and becomes Static's sidekick. [[SpoilerOpening The 3rd opening even has scenes of him as Gear]], even though it doesn't actually happen until two or three episodes into the season.
* OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent: Unlike Virgil, he stays this way until the 3rd Season, where he develops a delayed mutation and becomes Gear.
* RollerbladeGood: Invents rocket skates that can fly.
* SecretKeeper: He's the first person Virgil tells about his powers and serves as his confidant for two seasons.
* StraightGay: Let's face it, you wouldn't know he was without both WordOfGod confirming it along with his "HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday" moments.
* SuperIntelligence: Got this power, manifesting as GadgeteerGenius.
* {{Technopath}}: As Gear, he employed a variety of high-tech devices and weapons, including:
** Back-Pack, a robot unit usable as a probe and portable computer assistance system.
** Jet-Blades, vectored thruster-equipped jet boots, from modified roller blades.
** Jet-Board, a hoverboard.
** A sensor and neural interface control helmet.
** Zap Caps, Mark I, grenade-like explosive balls
** Zap Caps, Mark II, grenade-like balls with metal bands for restraining purposes.

-->'''Voiced by:''' Rosslyn Talor-Jordan

She-Bang, whose real name is Shanice Vale, is a girl with superhuman strength, stamina, agility, reflexes, and endurance. Although she seems like a meta-human she actually was not exposed to the gas; she is really a science project made by her parents, Jonathon and Dolores, who made her chromosome by chromosome. They fell in love with her and went into hiding from a group of people who want to clone her, so she had to act like a shy, normal person till she moved to Dakota trying to blend in with the other Bang-Babies. When all the people who were after her were captured, she and her parents moved back to Dakota.

* ArtificialHuman: She was made in a lab as the perfect SuperSoldier, but the scientists who made her grew to care for Shenice and adopted her.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: In her last appearance she returned to Dakota and joined Virgil and Richie. She is never seen after that.
* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ixdv1yO352I She's So Fly]].
* SassyBlackWoman: Her normal self in her She-Bang persona and civilian one after TheMenInBlack weren't after her family anymore. Though her friends were a little surprised by her sudden attitude change, and not in a good way.
* SendInTheClones: What the company that was after her intended to do if Static and Gear hadn't rescued her.
* ShrinkingViolet: What she pretended to be in her civilian identity before the people trying to capture her family were finally brought to justice.
* SmugSuper: Her normal personality has minor shades of this, though in later appearances it turns more into general pushiness.
* SuperReflexes: Her other main ability. She moves like a gymnast across the rooftops of Dakota.
* SuperSoldier: What she was supposed to be, before her "parents" had a change of heart.
* SuperStrength: One of her main abilities.

[[folder:Adam Evans/Rubberband Man]]
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/1643127_12.jpg]]
-->'''Voiced By:''' Kadeem Hardison

A meta-human whose body structure consists of shapeable rubber. He is the younger brother of Static's archenemy, Ebon. Rubber-Band Man first appears a tragic villain when he goes after an opportunistic record producer who stole one of his songs. He subsequently breaks out of prison but decides not to pursue a criminal career, however; he begins dating Virgil's sister Sharon, and although he initially clashes with Static, he reforms and becomes one of his allies in crime-fighting.

* AdaptationalHeroism: Comic book Rubberband Man was just a thug. This one has a legitimate FreudianExcuse when introduced, and ends up pulling a HeelFaceTurn.
* AdaptationNameChange: His real name in the comics is Karmon Stringer.
* AntiVillain: Before his HeelFaceTurn. He was pissed when a record company stole his song, and settled for getting some cash from producer, only for the guy to lock him in a safe with no air. In his second appearance, he tried to live a normal life as a rapper, only for Static to accidentally expose him.
* TheAtoner: After his HeelFaceTurn, he makes genuine effort to atone for his crimes by helping the cops.
* CainAndAbel: The Abel to Ebon's Cain.
* ChronicVillainy: At first; after being a supervillain in his first episode, he tries to return to a honest life as a rapper in his civilian identity, but an accident causes his first concert to go wrong and Static exposes him, forcing him to return to villainy. Fortunately, he eventually is allowed to reform.
* CostumeEvolution: Just like Static, he gets a sleeker, darker-colored costume in the third season. He also loses the "helmet" he always wore, giving him more of a Mr. Fantastic type of look.
* HeelFaceTurn: Starts out as a rapper trying to get revenge on his old record company. Eventually evolves into a true hero.
* LIsForDyslexia: He is functionally illiterate because of it, and therefore never reads his reviews, fan mail, or even restaurant menus. It is the subject of a surprisingly plot-important VerySpecialEpisode, which unfortunately gets some of its facts wrong.[[note]]It perpetuates the myth that dyslexics see jumbled words and that Thomas Edison, George Washington, and Albert Einstein had dyslexia.[[/note]]
* MundaneUtility: Quite awesomely figures out how to use his stretching powers to overcome some of his dyslexia. This is done in other ways, as well.
* OfficialCouple: With Sharon Hawkins.
* RubberMan: His power.
* SecretIdentityIdentity: In his second appearance, he has discarded his Adam Evans identity to live as a rapper known as Stringer. He goes back to his normal identity after his reform.

!!Villains

[[folder:Ivan Evans/Ebon]]
[[quoteright:242:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ebon.png]]
-->'''Voiced By:''' Gary Sturgis

The head of a large group of Bang Babies called "The Meta-Breed" and the series' main villain. Ebon is an unusually powerful and strong meta-human; a living shadow and inter-dimensional portal able to hide within, control and manipulate pure darkness and shadows, as well as transport others to various locations of his choice.

* ArchEnemy: Arguably the closest of any of the villains in the series to being Static's. [[http://dcanimated.wikia.com/wiki/Ebon The DCAU wiki]] explicitly states this in his article.
* BigBad: By virtue of being the leader of most Gang Baby criminals.
* BigBrotherInstinct: Ebon wants to look out for his younger brother Adam, but his definition of protection is for him to join up with his gang of metahuman criminals. Unfortunately, Adam isn't looking to go bad again.
* CastingAShadow: His powers allow him to slide along solid surfaces, extend his body to great lengths, and even open portals to different locations.
* DarkIsEvil: His power literally is to turn into a LivingShadow, and he is a gang leader trying to take advantage on Gang Babies to accumulate power.
* DiabolicalMastermind: Relative to the other villains.
* DoNotCallMePaul: He hates being called "Ivan".
* EvilCounterpart: Ebon is this to Adam in episodes where they both feature. Ebon is his brother, and while their powers are very different they tend to use them in similar ways (Ebon, for example, often stretches himself using shadows in a way that mirrors Adam's rubber powers).
* FromNobodyToNightmare: Ivan was just some nobody desperate to break into big crime. Then the Big Bang happened and he became Ebon, one Static's most reoccurring foes and the closest to being his ArchEnemy. Talon even points this out in the finale after [[spoiler:a cure is found and he loses his powers. He doesn't want to be a nobody again.]]
* LivingShadow: His mutation literally turned him into one.
* ObviouslyEvil: [[DarkIsEvil Shadow-based powers]], [[EvilSoundsDeep deep echoing voice]] and a gang leader. Yeah, definitely not a good guy.
* PersonalityPowers: A deceptive, manipulative gang leader trying to expand his influence over Dakota, who ended up with shadow-based powers.
* ScaryBlackMan: In addition to being literally made of shadow after his mutation, it's revealed in the finale that he indeed was black as a regular human. However, given the fact that he and Adam are brothers it should have been obvious.
* WeakenedByTheLight: Though he can come outside in the day and be just fine, focused beams of light are what really hurt him.
* WeaksauceWeakness: Considering that his main enemy manipulates electromagnetism, he goes down in seconds whenever electric lights can be found.

[[folder:Francis Stone/Hotstreak]]
[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sunspots.png]]
-->'''Voiced By:''' Danny Cooksey

Hotstreak (Francis Stone/F-Stop) was one of the gang members at the docks when the Big Bang occurred. After being exposed to the gas, Francis Stone became Hotstreak. His powers added to his hotheadedness by giving him the ability to create and shoot blasts of fire.

* AdaptationNameChange: In the comics, his real name is Martin Scaponi and his nickname is "Biz Money B".
* AdaptationPersonalityChange: The comic Hotstreak was a racist, this Hotstreak isn't.
* AdaptationDyeJob: He was red hair with yellow streaks instead of being blond.
* TheBully: And Virgil was one of his favorite targets.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: In one episode, he and Static are trapped on an island together. Static proposes an EnemyMine, but Hotstreak is more interested in fighting it out until Static points out to him that his fire powers wouldn't stand a chance against Static's electrical powers on account of them being surrounded by water.
* DoNotCallMePaul: He does ''not'' like being referred to as "Francis".
* EvilIsPetty: Well, he started out as a school bully, so this is to be expected. Mot memorably, he once [[DisproportionateRetribution wrecked a cinema because he had just seen a bad movie]].
* EvilRedhead: Also has blond highlights to keep with his fire motif.
* FieryRedhead: His hair even has blond streaks to mimic his powers.
* HotBlooded: No kidding. Pun aside, he's got an awful temper.
* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: He helps Static out when they're chained together and even helps [[spoiler: de-petrify Alva Jr.]], but it never even puts a dent in his villainous persona. In fact, he's arguably worse in both of his subsequent appearances.
* PersonalityPowers: Hotstreak has anger issues, so it's only fitting that he got fire powers.
* PlayingWithFire: He becomes pyrokinetic after surviving the Big Bang.
* StarterVillain: He's the first serious threat that Static ever faces. He even beats Static in their first battle because Virgil is still afraid of him. Once he gets past the mental block, Static is able to beat him on a pretty regular basis.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: For unknown reasons, he was in a hospital for ''two years'' as a kid, and gets nervous when he's in one.
* WreathedInFlames: He eventually learned how to fly by surrounding himself with a flaming aura.

-->'''Voiced by:''' Tia Texada

A teenage girl, Talon is a metahuman whose exposure to the Big Bang transformed her into a humanoid avian bird, a fact which she was really bitter about throughout the series. As a metahuman, Talon had claw-like digits on her hands and talon-like digits on her feet; she was covered in yellow feathers, but retained her red hair color. The most notable attribute of her transformation was a set of feathered patagia extending from her scapula to her forearms which enabled her to fly by flapping her arms. As an offensive aspect bestowed upon her by her exposure to the Big Bang, Talon could emit incredibly strong, large, visible lavender-colored hypersonic shrieks from her mouth and vocal cords

* [[BeastMan Beast Girl]]: Part girl, part bird.
* FeatheredFiend: Part of the reason she joins the Ebon is because her bird form is quite shocking to the rest of Dakota.
* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:At the end of the series, after losing her powers.]]
* HiddenDepths: She appears to be bitter all the time. [[spoiler:It's because of becoming a freak.]]
* IJustWantToBeNormal: [[spoiler:Having spent the entire series angry over her bird-like appearance, Talon is more than happy to lose her powers to look like her old self]].
* KnownOnlyByTheirNickname: Until she [[spoiler:loses her powers]] in the finale. [[spoiler:Though Ebon still prefers to call her Talon when she tries to force her back into his gang]].

-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/HyndenWalch

Following her mother's death, Maureen Conner became homeless, and developed psychiatric problems from the sheer rejection and loneliness. After the Big Bang, her hair turned white and her skin light blue, and she became an incredibly strong cryokinetic, able to create manipulate and control frost, sleet, flurries, snow and ice, and create massive blizzards, hailstorms, and snowstorms.

* AntiVillain: Permafrost isn't really a villain, just a mentally scarred, confused young girl--and while not perfectly innocent, she isn't psychotically evil. It's even said by a fellow homeless person that she's not a bad person, she's just got a lot of mental problems.
* BrokenBird: Her stepfather left her and her mother literally just moments before her mother died when she was just a little kid...and that's not even adding the Big Bang into the equation.
* CooldownHug: Static pulls one off to calm her down. Not only does it work, but her skin actually changes color from blue to her old tone.
* FingerlessGloves: A blue pair.
* AnIcePerson: As her name suggest, she controls ice.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: {{Justified}}. her hair turned white after being exposed by the Big Bang.

* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: She's one of the few Bang Babies who didn't make an appearance during the series finale.
* ControlFreak: The whole point of her character.

-->'''Voiced By:''' Kevin Michael Richardson

Kangorr is an original character to the animated series who has never appeared in the comic books. Kangorr's real name is never mentioned, and much of his backstory is never brought up in the series—-which puts Kangorr across as just another juvenile delinquent gangbanger, but with some common sense, making him into one of the more formidable Bang-Babies in the series. Kangorr was another of the victims of the Bang Baby gas incident at the docks.

* CanonForeigner: He's a bit villain created for the show. Naturally, this also means he rarely appears and we know next to nothing about him.
* ExtremityExtremist: Fights only with his feet. Justified, as that's where all his superpowers are.
* MisplacedAccent: Kangorr speaks with a Jamaican accent, although there's nothing to suggest that he's from Jamaica. However, it should be noted that the only thing known about his past is that he went to Juvie with Ebon and the rest.

* {{Fanboy}}: As a kid, Robert was a big admirer of the superhero Soul Power and bought the hero's comic book. He greatly regretted the day his mother made him throw them away.
