He lived with his father and sister. He was among over a hundred teenagers exposed to an unknown gas, in what was later called by the media the "Big Bang". A large number of those teenagers later expressed metahuman powers, and Virgil was no exception. Virgil decided to don a mask and costume and took the name Static Shock to protect his identity. He's fought a number of other metahumans created in the same explosion, which have come to be called "Bang Babies", and has so far been successful in protecting his secret identity from all except his best friend Richie Foley. When one of Virgil's old rivals became the metahuman known as Hotstreak he successfully defeated him. When Adam Evans used his metahuman powers as Rubberband Man to take revenge on a record company that stole his money, Virgil stopped him, and saved Rubberband Man's life. The record executive and Rubberband Man both went to jail. Although Adam attempted to served his time in prison, he discovered life wasn't easy for a metahuman there. Eventually he escaped and started a new life under the identity of a musician called Stringer. After hitting it big he met and started dating Sharon Hawkins, who unknown to him was the sister to Static Shock aka Virgil Hawkins. Things seems to go well for Stringer until a pyrotechnic accident at a show he was giving and that Sharon and Virgil were attending. During the fire Virgil changed to the identity of Static to save people. After the fire he confronted Stringer about his carelessness in starting the fire and Static discovered Stringer was really Rubberband Man. Adam then vowed to uncover Static's secret identity as payback. During a later confrontation between Static and Rubberband Man they were attacked by the metahuman bounty hunters Puff and Onyx. Adam evaded them. Although Sharon talked Adam into turning himself in to the police and serving his time, Puff and Onyx were determined to collect his bounty and attacked him anyway. Static helped Rubberband Man defeat the pair and then Adam turned himself in (Bent Out Of Shape). Powers: Virgil has enormous control over various aspects of electricity and magnetism. He can move objects at will, use them to fly, make bright flashes of static electricity and a number of more subtle tricks. He has been able to intercept radio broadcasts and use his powers simulate electronic equipment, such as a CD player or shotgun microphone. The use of his powers is accompanied by a yellow electric aura and the sound of static electricity. By focusing his power Virgil can create a wall of electromagnetic force. Probably his most impressive ability is the ability to summon an electromagnetic pulse that can destroy any electronic item in his area. He can only do this once a day and it leaves him exhausted.
