Virgil Ovid Hawkins: Static Appreciation Thread 2021

[Rac7d*]

Remember that show had battle with the network.

First the network wanted a white Static.
Then Static with no father.
It is interesting Frieda took a backseat on the show and Richie was the sidekick. It was reversed in the comic.

I believe it
Sounds like the same behind the scene mess that Whitney Huston and Brandy Cinderella had

Yeah we dodged a bullet . WatchTower on Twitter had small info about it. https://twitter.com/dcauwatchtower/s...072841220?s=20

Michael Davis said they wanted Static to be white at first. Now that Jonathan Taylor Thomas part is new and live action?

They could have just did a Richie series. However JTT would have been 19 years old playing a 14 year old. They could have gotten Frankie Muniz.

Yikes, that's a hell of a bullet(s) to dodge.

Will Friedle could have made a good live action Richie as well since they were already tapping him to play Batman Beyond and he was doing that at the same time as 'Boy Meets World'.

Maybe if Frankie Muniz played Gear he might have been more inclined to wear a helmet IRL.

Is there any villain from the regular DCU that you guys would like Static to tangle with?

Probably Black Manta because I think you can make a decent team-up with Static and Aqualad

Livewire, maybe?

I love the idea of a Static/Aqualad team up. There is a lot of potential with their interactions and their powers compliment each other perfectly.

Livewire, maybe?

The banter would be off the charts.

[Rac7d*]

I think he and duke would get along

[Jabare]

The banter would be off the charts.

remember Black Lightning and Live Wire from Young Justice

[Besouro]

I actually think Jaime is better paired with Jason, who debuted around the same time and has a similar power level.

Been waiting years to see Virgil team up with Cisco for a while now though. Seems like an easy fit in the Dakotaverse.



Beastboy would also be interesting.

Agreed.....I will add Vixen, Bumblebee, Blue Beetle,

So who do you think will make for a better love interest for Virgil in this incarnation? Frieda or Daisy?

[Vordan]

Oliver Copiel variant for issue 1 of the new series.

I'll need a few more issues before I decide.
