Static

Static's powers and abilities

Powers

Bang Baby Static's physiology was altered by a mutant-genetic explosion which caused him to adapt unusual powers. Static's body itself can generate raw electromagnetic energy, which he has learned to manipulate, control and enhance.

Super-Conductive Electromagnetism Static can sense sources of electromagnetic energy or objects that can be affected by it such as underground water pipes. He can magnetize and demagnetize metals.

• Electromagnetic Fields Static generates an electromagnetic field just like the earth and the sun generate their own Electromagnetic fields. Static can also create barriers and shields that he can use to block, repel, hold back attacks and defend himself in battle.
  
  
• Mechanokinesis Static can capable of fixing or operating electronic devices through his electromagnetic manipulation. He can operate most devices just by touching, even if they are not plugged.
  
  
• Electromagnetic Levitation Static can cause objects to fly (metal is the easiest material to manipulate and wood is the most difficult).
  
  
• Wavelength Tuning Static can hear radio waves meaning he can listen in on the police broadband and music stations, as well as tapping into the phone lines so he can make calls.
  
  
• Mental Resistance As the human brain is an electromagnetic organ, and due to his status as a metahuman amplifying his brain's capacities, Static has demonstrated considerable opposition to virtually all forms of hypnosis or mind control. He has overcome the telepathic assaults of The Swarm, avoided mental detection from Miss Martian, and, most notably, eventually even broke free of the Anti-Life Equation, a feat originally considered to be impossible.
  
  

Electrokinesis Static can generate electricity from his body and administer it in a range of different attacks and uses. He can charge devices, drain devices and project his electricity in a variety of controlled ways.

• Electrical Displays Static is able to project his electromagnetic energies in the form of energy-based constructs, such as disks, orbs, bursts, shields, platforms, force fields, and other projectiles or constructions.
  
  
• Electromagnetic Force Bolts Static can project powerful blasts and/or bursts of electromagnetic energy from his hands for uses allowing him to hit, push/pull or blow away his targets, and potentially exerting enough force to destroy them.
  
  
• Ball Lightning Named after Ball Lightning, the weather phenomenon. Electromagnetic Energy compressed into a large ball and thrown at targets; an offensive maneuver in a combat situation.
  
  
• Static Cling Static can adhere most objects or people to surfaces and other objects, plus Static can magnetize surfaces.
  
  
• Electrical Transformation Due to Static's power to generate electromagnetic energy, He is able to transform his entire body into pure electrical energy.
  
  

Healing Factor Virgil can recover from injuries faster than normal humans, having healed from a multitude of full-body stings from The Swarm in less than a day when they very well would've killed a regular person. Even so, he has been hurt severely enough to where either a nurse had to see him or Frieda had to care for him.

Abilities

Science Virgil is a highly gifted student with a particular interest in the maths and sciences. He is also a talented inventor, as he was able to design the cape and wing apparatus of Red Robin's costume while at S.T.A.R. Labs and was also able to create a robot raptor using spare parts from a quantum accelerator. Robin states that Virgil's understanding of molecular structure rivals the Flash's, which was later proved when Virgil provided Kid Flash with a new costume that contained materials that realigned his molecules while stabilizing his powers after discovering that the latter's cells were rapidly deteriorating as a result of an alteration of his powers. Virgil also possesses an almost fanboyish knowledge of comic books, role playing games, pop culture, and science fiction.
