!! Virgil Hawkins/Static
-->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/PhilLaMarr
* {{Adorkable}}: Is a Fanboy of comics, superheroes, zombie movies, and video games, and heavily interested in the sciences.
* 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 ''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'', Vergil is still as great a hero as before. He credits modern medicine in his time. "65's the new 30."
* BadassLongcoat
* 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).
* CatchPhrase: "I put a shock to your system!"
* CoolLoser
* DeadpanSnarker: Much like Franchise/SpiderMan.
* DoesntLikeGuns: Something he and Batman have in common, given that their parents were both killed by gunfire.
* ElectricBlackGuy
* 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}}.
* [[IronicNickname Ironic Superhero Name]]: 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.]]
* LightningGlare: When he's either really charged up or really mad, his eyes glow with electricity.
* MissingMom: His mother was killed in a riot. Several episodes highlight how major this is to him.
* 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.
* 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.
** 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.
* 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."
* TookALevelInBadass: Canonically becomes one of the most powerful heroes as a mature adult.
* WouldHitAGirl
* YouFightLikeACow: Static's near Franchise/SpiderMan levels when it comes to taunting opponents.
!!Richard "Richie" Foley/Gear
-->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/JasonMarsden
* {{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.
* CoolLoser
* 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: 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.
* GenreSavvy
* HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday: This was the creators' way of implying he was gay. It went no further than this.
* OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent
* 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.
* SuperIntelligence: Got this power, manifesting as GadgeteerGenius.
* {{Technopath}}
* TokenWhite: The only white member of the principal cast
* WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway: Richie felt this way when they first realized he was getting smarter.
!!Shenice Vale /She-Bang
-->'''Voiced by: Rosslyn Talor-Jordan'''
* 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.
* SassyBlackWoman: Her normal self in her She-Bang persona and civilian one after TheMenInBlack wern'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
* SuperStrength: One of her main abilities.
!!Adam Evans/Rubberband Man
-->'''Voiced By:''' Kadeem Hardison
* CainAndAbel: The Abel to Ebon's Cain.
* EvilCounterpart: Ebon is this to him 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).
* HeelFaceTurn: Starts out as a rapper trying to get revenge on his old record company. Eventually evolves into a true hero.
* 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.
* RubberMan

!! Ivan Evans/Ebon
-->'''Voiced By:''' Gary Sturgis
* 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
* 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
* DiabolicalMastermind: Relative to the other villains.
* [[DoNotCallMePaul Do Not Call Me Ivan]]
* 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.]]
* GenreSavvy: He's smart enough to realize he's seen Richie around Static far too many times for it to be normal, and goes after him to find out where Static is. Another time, he finds out Richie is commonly with Virgil and suspects him of being Static, which he is. Ebon captures Virgil and waits for him to try and save himself, but is tricked in the end by bogus camera feeds.
* LivingShadow
* ObviouslyEvil

!! Permafrost/Maureen Conners
-->'''Voiced by Creator/HyndenWalch
* AnIcePerson
* AntiVillain: Permafrost isn't really a villain, just a mentally scarred, confused young girl. And while not perfectly innocent, she isn't psychotically evil.
* BrokenBird: Her stepfather left her mother just moments before she died when she was only a little girl... 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.

* AcademicAlphaBitch: She tries to be. Madelyn's not very well liked because of her prissy attitude.

[[folder:[[color:black:Heroes]]]]
!! Virgil Hawkins/Static
-->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/PhilLaMarr
* {{Adorkable}}: Is a Fanboy of comics, superheroes, zombie movies, and video games, and heavily interested in the sciences.
* 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 ''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'', Vergil is still as great a hero as before. He credits modern medicine in his time. "65's the new 30."
* BadassLongcoat
* 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).
* CatchPhrase: "I put a shock to your system!"
* CoolLoser
* DeadpanSnarker: Much like Franchise/SpiderMan.
* DoesntLikeGuns: Something he and Batman have in common, given that their parents were both killed by gunfire.
* ElectricBlackGuy
* 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}}.
* [[IronicNickname Ironic Superhero Name]]: 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.]]
* LightningGlare: When he's either really charged up or really mad, his eyes glow with electricity.
* MissingMom: His mother was killed in a riot. Several episodes highlight how major this is to him.
* 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.
* 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.
** 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.
* 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."
* TookALevelInBadass: Canonically becomes one of the most powerful heroes as a mature adult.
* WouldHitAGirl
* YouFightLikeACow: Static's near Franchise/SpiderMan levels when it comes to taunting opponents.
!!Richard "Richie" Foley/Gear
-->'''Voiced By:''' Creator/JasonMarsden
* {{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.
* CoolLoser
* 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: 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.
* GenreSavvy
* HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday: This was the creators' way of implying he was gay. It went no further than this.
* OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent
* 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.
* SuperIntelligence: Got this power, manifesting as GadgeteerGenius.
* {{Technopath}}
* TokenWhite: The only white member of the principal cast
* WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway: Richie felt this way when they first realized he was getting smarter.
!!Shenice Vale /She-Bang
-->'''Voiced by: Rosslyn Talor-Jordan'''
* 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.
* SassyBlackWoman: Her normal self in her She-Bang persona and civilian one after TheMenInBlack wern'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
* SuperStrength: One of her main abilities.
!!Adam Evans/Rubberband Man
-->'''Voiced By:''' Kadeem Hardison
* CainAndAbel: The Abel to Ebon's Cain.
* EvilCounterpart: Ebon is this to him 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).
* HeelFaceTurn: Starts out as a rapper trying to get revenge on his old record company. Eventually evolves into a true hero.
* 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.
* RubberMan

[[folder:[[color:black:Villains]]]]
!! Ivan Evans/Ebon
-->'''Voiced By:''' Gary Sturgis
* 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
* 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
* DiabolicalMastermind: Relative to the other villains.
* [[DoNotCallMePaul Do Not Call Me Ivan]]
* 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.]]
* GenreSavvy: He's smart enough to realize he's seen Richie around Static far too many times for it to be normal, and goes after him to find out where Static is. Another time, he finds out Richie is commonly with Virgil and suspects him of being Static, which he is. Ebon captures Virgil and waits for him to try and save himself, but is tricked in the end by bogus camera feeds.
* LivingShadow
* ObviouslyEvil
* ScaryBlackMan
* WeakenedByTheLight: Though he can come outside in the day and be just fine, focused beams of light are what really hurt him.
