Black Superhero Spotlight

Every month I’m going to spotlight a black superhero (although this is more for May/June). If you can’t hear about black superheroes from a blerd…then where are you going to  hear it from? This Month’s Superhero is…. STATIC


Static's creator: Dwayne McDuffie



Static's History





Static's Origin






Statics' Powers



I think my favorite thing about Static is that he’s a fanboy. He collects comics, is a gamer, and uses a lot of pop culture references.

STATIC as a HEROCLIX

This figure isn’t a game changer, but seeing it for the first time almost give me a nerdgasm. Allow me to elaborate. Comics in general have a lack of strong major black characters. For instance, there was a time that the X-Men featured more BLUE characters in its membership than BLACK ones. So when Heroclix gives me one of my favorite black characters...oh believe me I'm UBER excited; regardless of stats. Speaking of which, let’s take a look:
