Static’s origin started out pretty simple. His real name was Virgil Hawkins, a 15-year-old black kid, who lived in Dakota. He lived with his parents and older sister, Sharon. He attended Ernest Hemingway High School. His friends were Larry Wade, Frieda Goren and Rick Stone. His bully or rival was Hotstreak, a white kid that would give most bullies a nightmare. Virgil’s problems with Hotstreak lead to Virgil becoming Static. Hotstreak was named Biz Money B and was trying to hit on Frieda when Virgil was making jokes. Biz Money B beat him up in the hallway of the school. It seemed that Virgil had a problem with bullies.
Larry suggest that Virgil get a gun to kill Biz Money B. Virgil got a gun and headed to where Biz Money B (among others) would be hanging out at night. Paris Island. Virgil was set to shoot Biz Money B, but chickened out when a gas started floating around Paris Island. It was his powers that allowed him to escape and over the past few months, he learned to use his powers.
