Virgil Hawkins was exposed to a mutagenic gas that swept his city of Dakota, which gave him and other 'bang babies" superpowers. With the ability to control electromagnetism, Static joined the Teen Titans and continues to protect his city while serving on the team.
True. In fact, his most recent appearance was reduced to that of a background character in the movie Justice League: War. He was right behind Billy Batson at a football game featuring Victor Stone. He was in the Young Justice cartoon as well, but wasn't officially a named hero until the very end.
They gave Static a lazily done comic in the new 52 where they were on some total BS with changing his city and villains. And they wonder why no one read that sh**.
I actually made a thread on should Static join the Teen Titans again should check it out. Me I really wish any of the Milestone characters would appear in New 52.
