Static

Virgil Hawkins, also known as Static, is a superhero from DC Comics. He appeared in the 120th episode and Season 7 Premiere of Death Battle, Miles Morales VS Static, where he fought against Miles Morales from Marvel Comics.
==History==
Virgil Hawkins was once an ordinary high school student living in Dakota City. As a child, Virgil lost his mother to gang violence, and his father vowed to help the community and set up the Freeman Community Center, which became a second home for Virgil. He grew up to be an honor roll student with a quick tongue, which caused him to be the target of a notorious bully and gang member, Francis Stone. Virgil's friend, Larry Wade, suggested the only solution to Virgil's problems was to kill the bully at a gathering of all the gangs of the city in the docks. It did not come to pass, as police arrived on the scene to squelch the battle. Virgil managed to avoid injury or hurting others, but an explosion of newly-developed and untested mutative gases encompassed the gang war's battleground. Virgil escaped seemingly unscathed, but was exposed to the gas's effects, waking up the next day with bizarre electrical powers. Inspired by the superhero comics he read, Virgil took up a costume and put his powers to good use as the new superhero, "Static".
