Recap / Static Shock S 4 E 5 Army Of Darkness

Go To

Static and Gear deal with a gang of meta humans who can’t survive in sunlight who Ebon has recruited as a new version of the Meta-Breed, the "Night-Breed".


Tropes for this episode include:

  • Achilles' Heel: The titular "Army" can’t stand sunlight, with Ebon's scheme being to block out the sun so he can exploit them further.
  • Anti-Villain: Nightingale is the most reluctant of the trio to commit robberies, rather than trying to cure their conditions.
  • Bat Deduction: Static and Gear discussing Batman leads the latter to realize that the former knows Batman's secret identity.
  • Dramatic Irony: Ebon carries out his plan at the Abandoned Gas Station of Solitude.
  • I'm Standing Right Here: When explaining the Night-Breed's backstory to Static and Gear, Nightingale says that the Big Bang turned Tech into the smartest person in Dakota. Gear, who also possesses Bang Baby-given intelligence, is naturally miffed at this.
  • Token Evil Teammate: Fade is the only one loyal to Ebon genuinely, as opposed to Nightingale's reluctance and Brickhouse and Tech being more neutral.
