Line #10 WMG/StaticShock


1	WildMassGuessing for ''WesternAnimation/StaticShock''.
2
3	[[WMG:[[WesternAnimation/SupermanTheAnimatedSeries Lex Corp]] and Alva Industries are business partners.]]
4	Both of them seem to be {{mega corp}}orations involved in creating advanced and futuristic technology, and they both happen to be run by rather [[CorruptCorporateExecutive unscrupulous businessmen]]; although Lex Luthor is far more evil than Edwin Alva, who just seems to be a bit amoral. It would make sense that these two companies are sharing some resources with each other.

6	[[WMG: Sharon eventually finds out that Virgil and Richie are Static and Gear, shortly after "Power Outage".]]
7	Or, Robert revealed the secret to Sharon sometime ''during'' the events of the finale.
8	* Only when she's in the ''right'' mood to take it all in.
9
10	[[WMG: Richie eventually finds a cure for Dr. Todd's Bang Baby cure.]]
11	He's got superhuman intelligence, it was bound to happen eventually.
12	* But isn't making a "cure for the cure" redundant, when they could just re-inhale the Quantum Vapor again?
13	** There's no guarantee that Quantum Vapor has consistency between batches, meaning that exposure to one batch might yield different results than the last. Nor is there a guarantee that it would always be available should re-exposure be necessary in the future. Richie's idea of "a cure for the cure" would basically mean immunizing himself and Static against the antidote so they retain their powers. Think like a flu vaccine.

15	[[WMG: Ebon-Streak survived and are still lurking around somewhere.]]
16	* Even Static and Gear expressed doubts that they died in the explosion.
17
18	[[WMG: Virgil knows Richie is gay.]]
19	* He’s obviously cool with it, he just wants Richie to come out when he’s ready.
20	** Dwayne [=McDuffie=] stated [[http://forums.delphiforums.com/Milestone/messages?msg=425.232 here]] that Virgil didn't know yet in the cartoon.

22	[[WMG: Jimmy Osgood's motive had something to do with gang violence]]
23	There are several hints to suggest this such as his journal literally being called "the battle journal", being obsessed with the idea of protection hence him trying to show off his father's gun that he bought to protect his family (it's even implied that he did that at least once before he met Virgil & Richie) well those two things on the surface just imply that he's just a terrorist who may or may not have anything against gangs think again because he has his own {{Motive Rant}} "lots of things aren't funny gang violence destroying this city isn't funny, the authorities doing nothing about it isn't funny" why would he state that if that wasn't his motive for doing what he did and if that is the case then why was he so willing to use a gun? Well it really comes down to circumstances the gang violence that he experienced that lead him up to that point had little to nothing to do with guns since not all gang violence involves guns and it comes in many forms so we honestly have no idea what form Jimmy's experience with gangs was so that combined with his dad probably installing the idea in him that guns can be used to protect people you get someone who is willing to murder people so that Dakota City can finally be free from gang violence once and for all. Am I saying what he did is right? No [[Main/WellIntentionedExtremist well he may have a good motive]] him trying to murder all gang members without stepping in their shoes first or even considering the idea that he may accidentally harm [[Main/InnocentBystander an innocent bystander]] beforehand pretty much confirms he is [[Main/WellIntentionedExtremist an extremist]] so that is what he meant by "they had to hurt me humiliate me" but after he accidentally shot Richie he suddenly realized that his way of dealing with gang violence [[Main/InnocentBystander may harm people that that had nothing to do with gangs in the first place]] and tries to find a better way to stop it.

25	[[WMG: Genetics Has A Noticable Influence In Bang Baby Effects.]]
26	While it's entirely possible for siblings to get different power sets, two Bang Babies with similar power sets means it's very likely they're closely related by blood. [[Recap/StaticShockS2E6BadStretch The pair with the most similarity to each other are brothers after all.]]
27
28	[[WMG: Shaquille O'Neal was a former member of the Hoop Squad.]]
29	In the Hoop Squad's titular episode, the NBA players already seem to know Static's identity. While it's possible Virgil revealed it to them offscreen, another possible explanation comes from Season 2's "Static Shaq", in which Shaq winds up becoming a SecretKeeper to Virgil's identity. Assuming the Hoop Squad already existed at that point, it's likely that O'Neal, being one of the NBA's biggest names at the time, was a founding member of the group and entrusted his teammates with the secret in the event that they and Static ever wound up teaming up with each other.

31	[[WMG: Nick Connor is [[WesternAnimation/NASCARRacers Lyle "The Collector" Owens]].]]
32	Shortly after the incident with Jimmy, and losing his popularity he decided to start a racing career to reclaim his popularity, after the show ended.
33
34	[[WMG: Johnny Morrow, [[Series/HowIMetYourMother Barney Stinson]], [[WebVideo/DoctorHorriblesSingAlongBlog Doctor Horrible]], [[WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold The Music Meister]], [[Series/ASeriesOfUnfortunateEvents2017 Count Olaf]] and [[Series/DoctorWho The Celestial Toymaker]] are all the same person.]]
