Dwayne McDuffie was an American comic book writer, known mostly for his creation of the African-American superhero
Static. Although originating in McDuffie's indie
Milestone Comics label, Static eventually moved to the
DC Comics Universe, and his creator followed suit. McDuffie wrote for DC Comics, and contributed to various animated DC spin-offs, including
Static Shock,
Justice League and several
Direct-to-Video movies. He was the main writer and editor for the
Ben 10 Alien Force and
Ben 10: Ultimate Alien animated series.
Before Milestone, McDuffie also worked at
Marvel Comics, where he created
Damage Control, a series about the people who clean up the mess after superhero-supervillain battles. Much later, he returned to Marvel temporarily to write
Fantastic Four, which had fallen into the hands of an editor who remembered McDuffie's love of the characters from the days when they were both lowly Marvel minions together.
Sadly and shockingly to his fans, McDuffie passed away suddenly on February 22nd, 2011 due to complications during a surgical procedure he had the day before. His last work was the script for
Justice League: Doom, the animated version of
JLA: Tower of Babel. He was 49, having just recently had a birthday
a day before his death.
