Virgil is high school student in Dakota City. As a result of accidental exposure to an experimental mutagen in an event known as the Big Bang, he gained the ability to control and manipulate electromagnetism, and uses these powers to become a superhero named "Static." Countless others who were also exposed also gained a wide variety of mutations and abilities, and Static spends much of his time dealing with these "Bang Babies", many of whom use their abilities in selfish, harmful, and even criminal ways.
Virgil is a kindhearted and intelligent young man with a snarky sense of humor. His amicable personality has allowed him to attract a diverse friend group — namely Frieda, Daisy, and Richie. He can, however, be a bit excessive with his humor at times, annoying his friends with his sarcastic quips. Virgil is often grating with his older sister Sharon (and vice versa), but has been shown to apologize when her feelings were genuinely hurt. He occasionally exhibits negative traits in the form of insensitivity, unchecked rage, and boastfulness for his fans (as Static). His struggle to balance his regular life with his hero life makes him sometimes come off as wishy-washy to his friends and family. Despite this, Virgil always comes through for his loved ones and does what he can to correct his mistakes.
As a superhero, Static has a very strong sense of right and wrong, being the first to help anyone in trouble. He is almost always fearless in the face of danger and often goes about fighting crime with a confident smile. Static values his reputation as a hero and dislikes being shown up or given a bad name, but he also knows when to admit when he is wrong and knows when to tone down his ego. Static also knows when to be serious in his battles, but often uses his sense of humor on the job. He also has a compassionate heart for some of his opponents, such as when he comforted Permafrost and wanted to help her, when he convinced Aquamaria to be the test subject for a cure for the Big Bang's after-effects, and when he expressed gratefulness to Talon when she said she was glad to be normal again. Static also acts wisely in many situations and often provides advice to those who need it. Over the years and into adulthood, Static becomes more mature and responsible as a superhero, though he still retains his sense of humor.
