Ya know its funny, growing up Static was always a huge part of my life.

It wasn't until I was older that I realsed Static is indeed African American.

The thought just never occurred to me. I never saw color just a kid growing up,

dealing with life, and learning how to use the gifts he had to help others. In a lot of ways,

Static is a better peter parker because he didn't become a jerkwad with powers, need an uncle to die,

then realise... "OH I shouldn't be a jerk!" Sure, Static's mom did die do to hang violence,

but that's something I think worked in Static's favor is that he didn't need to be humbled by life because

he was a jerk, but rather he was a victim to one of life's unfortunate cruelties and it strengthened his character.



Static is a great character, an ideal hero for younger audience and I wish they'd do right by him and give him another cartoon.

He easily could have and should have been part of a reimagined Titans line up. I got no idea where he is at DC right now,

frankly I don't care, he certainly is one of the better underappreciated properties the company has to offer and it is unfortunate they don't use him to better potential.
