Talk:Static (DC Comics)

message: Someone (I'm guessing from the repetition of his previous activity that it's User:Mare-Silverus) has been inserting quotes at the top of this article and two others about Static.  As I've explained to him, they do not belong there; this is an encyclopedia, not a fan site, and there are standards for how articles should be structured and what they should contain.  This is why I keep removing those quotes, and will continue to remove them as often as necessary.  If the person who keeps adding them would like to act like an adult and discuss it, that would be very welcome. Tverbeek 18:00, 6 May 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Inappropriate additions

message: I've renamed this page from Static (comics) to Static (superhero) to reflect the fact that the character is well-established in both comics and television.  In this context, the Static Shock page can focus on the television series itself, and this page can focus on the character in both media, including coverage of the comics series of the same name.  The Static (Static Shock) page will be merged into this page and the main Static Shock page, and redirected here. Tverbeek 23:35, 8 May 2005 (UTC)

message: I've changed the heading back to just "Trivia" again.  Since the page is about Static, then the trivia is by default assumed to be about Static.  Saying "Trivia about Static/Virgil Hawkins" is redundant. Pitr 19:20, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Trivia section heading 

message: RE the last item in the trivia section
"In the animated series, Virgil has harboured a powerful dislike of guns, since his mother, an emergency call doctor and ambulance paramedic, was killed by stray gang-fire during the Dakota City Riots, twelve years before the Big-Bang. His fear and hatred for guns has been illustrated more than once in the series."
It's not that I don't think that this is relevent or important, I just don't recall guns ever being a real issue in the animated series except maybe as his dislike of being shot at.
For my own reference, could somebody please drop some examples (series and espisode number + scene or quote) into the discussion section.
There is no need to edit the main article. This is just for my curiosity.

It looks as if someone has removed/swapped the pic of Static #1 with some automobiles.  Does anyone know what that's about? It's in the Fictional character biography section.

message: I think the ultra-detailed Powers section could be replaced with something much simpler, a sentence or two saying that Static is capable of performing many electrical-based feats. Lots42 16:32, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Is the use of the term Gang Banger throughout the begining Bio section accurate? It seems unlikely that as well as being part of a gang war, all the individuals present were group rapists. - 86.143.10.122 (talk) 10:12, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: WikiProject Comics B-Class Assesment required

message: With Static now fully intergrated into the DC Universe (he's made his first official appearance in Terror Titans #3), I suppose it's time to clean up the page. His powers section is too in-universe with the cartoon series and it be cool if we could create a reception section. PrinceLionheart (talk) 22:51, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: C-Class rated for Comics Project

message: "A self-professed geek, Virgil is an avid comic book and video game fan, something that was retained for his DCAU incarnation. In the comics, Virgil regularly visits the local comic store, in addition to creating fan comics with his friends, and participates in HeroClix-style RPG games. In addition to that, he has been shown to be an avid video gamer at several points in both his series and the Teen Titans.Static Shock: Rebirth of the Cool"
Is this formal? It seems more like an opinion based off of what was read.Starman IX (talk) 12:52, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
