00:00Hey! Stop!
00:06And in local news, police report finding three men literally stuck to the ceiling of a warehouse they were trying
00:12to rob.
00:13But the adhesive wasn't glue or paste, it was static electricity.
00:17According to the frightened thieves, they were caught by a young masked man who had mutant electromagnetic powers and called
00:23himself static.
00:24Mutant? That's degrading.
00:26You got a better word? I kinda like metahuman. Catchy.
00:31For a related story, we go live to Shelley Sandoval.
00:35Thanks, Jim. Victims are still arriving here at County General following the gas explosion that's come to be known as
00:40the Big Bang.
00:42Here is just the latest arrival.
00:49According to doctors, this young man's road to recovery could be rather long.
00:53Police say there may be hundreds more of these unfortunate young people still on the streets.
00:58Hundreds?
00:59Yo, V, did you hear the...
01:01Urge?
01:09Lucky. He doesn't even have to buy the stuff.
01:15Urge?
01:16Not now, Rich.
01:17I'm vibing.
01:18Huh?
01:19I'm a human CD player.
01:20He even got surround sound.
01:23Hey!
01:25Virg, civilian at 12 o'clock.
01:27Why the look, Frida?
01:29They all out of Britney?
01:30There's this kid over in the corner.
01:32It's like he's sick or something.
01:36That explains where the Britney CDs went.
01:38Virgil!
01:39Ha ha!
01:40Ha ha!
01:42Ha ha!
01:44Ha ha!
01:47It's a bang, baby!
01:50Ha ha!
01:59Ha ha ha ha!
02:07Virgil, the tough guy.
02:09Bad timing, Francis.
02:10What's the rush?
02:12That, that's what the rush is.
02:19See, a bang baby.
02:21Don't tell me you're scared of a baby.
02:23Me? No, I'm just running for the exercise.
02:25But you might want to show a little concern here.
02:28Stay put.
02:30You still got business with me.
02:32With what's lefty, you mean?
02:34He's certifiable.
02:36We knew that back in second grade.
02:54You're a bang baby, too.
02:56Fresh born and ready to play.
02:58Even got a new name.
03:00Hot Stook.
03:06One Charbro Geek Kabob coming up.
03:19You know, Frida, you've always been real cold to me.
03:22How about we change all that?
03:24Step off, Francis.
03:28Oh!
03:30Getting warm out here, isn't it?
03:32So what about it, Frida?
03:35That wasn't nice.
03:37Neither is this.
03:40Yeah!
03:42Yes!
03:43Tell me that doesn't give chest pain a new meaning.
03:46Are you all right?
03:47Yeah, but look out!
03:49Look out!
03:57Look out!
03:58Newton's laws are catching up with you, hot streak.
04:01Or should I start calling you burn out?
04:06See, gravity's my friend now.
04:28If you think this is a standoff, you're wrong.
04:46I don't even know your name.
04:48But in about a minute, it's not going to matter.
05:03What happened, Verge?
05:05You had him down for the count, man.
05:06A choked, Verge.
05:16Everywhere you look, there's another bang baby.
05:18Setting fires, wrecking buildings, scaring everybody.
05:22And no one's doing anything about it.
05:23Well, what about that kid they were talking about on the news?
05:26What's his name?
05:27Static.
05:28He's doing something, isn't he?
05:30Didn't you hear what happened today?
05:31He got beat.
05:32Bad.
05:33What do you think about these metahumans?
05:35Now, what if Static keeps changing?
05:37What if he turns into some kind of monster?
05:40Nobody knows.
05:41Not even Static himself.
05:45That's a shame.
05:49Loose, that's another story.
05:51Okay, Mr. Deaf Comedy Jam.
05:53Just give me the slide with your blood.
06:03Looks the same as mine.
06:05Make you feel any better?
06:07Not really.
06:09Be sure.
06:11You're looking pretty healthy, Virgil.
06:13So why are you here?
06:14Can't be too careful, you know.
06:16That's true, but what are you trying to be so careful about?
06:19Well, I've been going through these changes.
06:23That's normal for a boy your age.
06:25This isn't normal.
06:26Believe me.
06:27Virgil, these changes you're talking about,
06:29do they involve another person?
06:32A lot of them.
06:33Does your father know what you've been doing?
06:35No, and he can't.
06:37Hold up.
06:39Doc, we're talking about two different things here.
06:42That's a relief.
06:43Except now I'm back to having no idea what you're so worried about.
06:47Can't I just have the test, please?
06:49All right, Virgil.
06:50If it'll give you some peace of mind.
06:53You won't tell my pops, will you?
06:55We'll discuss that later if we need to.
06:58Now hold out your arm.
07:00Ow!
07:01You ever heard of painless needles, Doc?
07:04Ha!
07:08Madam Mayor, my name is Robert Hawkins.
07:10I came here to ask what the city's doing about these bang babies.
07:14Mr. Hawkins, the subject of today's meeting is budget appropriations.
07:18But there will be a general meeting next month and...
07:20This can't wait a month.
07:22Mr. Hawkins, please.
07:23You're our leader.
07:25We put our faith and trust in you when we elected you.
07:27But you seem to be forgetting that you serve us.
07:29We don't serve you.
07:30That's right.
07:34Sounds like your pops took some public speaking classes.
07:37No, he just gets lots of practice talking to me that way.
07:40All right, all right.
07:46We all know the police have what's left of the tanks the gas was in.
07:49So why haven't they been able to trace the owner?
07:52That's a good question, Mr. Hawkins.
07:54And I assure you the investigation is going ahead at full speed.
07:57The minute I have a definitive answer, it'll be reported in the media.
08:01Now, if there are any questions about the budget...
08:04I smell a cover-up.
08:05If they're going to investigate something, it ought to be her.
08:18How'd the meeting go?
08:19You're keeping the pressure on, but I'm not pointing my finger at anyone.
08:22Not until I have all the facts.
08:24I appreciate your caution.
08:27This is so cool.
08:29Yo, you think you can pick up pay-per-view?
08:30This is better.
08:32You know who that guy is?
08:33Edwin Alva.
08:34Edwin Alva.
08:36Dude's got big bank.
08:37Makes Bill Gates look like he's homeless.
08:39What's he doing out here with the mayor?
08:41Not a date, that's for sure.
08:42Micah.
08:43I knew he looked evil for a reason.
08:45You can't even spell his name without the word evil.
08:48And he would welcome an investigation.
08:51Really?
08:51We'll see about that.
08:59V, what are you doing?
09:01Time to get back to business.
09:13Yorke, the mayor's going to cave.
09:15Go to the lab and erase everything on the hard drives about our mutagen formulas and the shipping records.
09:21But don't forget, when all this blows over, I'll be starting up again.
09:25So save everything on disk.
09:48I'll be right back.
10:06You caught you.
10:07Bet a lot of people would like to see what's on this disk.
10:10You.
10:11You're that freak.
10:12You say freak, I say unique.
10:15The name's static.
10:17I put a shock to your sister.
10:19Oh yeah?
10:19Well, so do I.
10:22Oh!
10:22Where's the clean gun?
10:23Where's the clean gun?
10:24Ah!
10:25I clean.
10:25Ah!
10:26Ah!
10:27Ah!
10:31Ah!
10:31Ah!
10:32Ah!
10:32Ah!
10:56You think you can keep me in here?
11:04Uh, scratch that.
11:08What else can go wrong?
11:11Really?
11:16I had to ask.
11:27Nothing.
11:31Ow!
11:32Air pressure's going up in here.
11:34Just what I needed.
11:36If the gas doesn't kill me, the pressure will.
11:38Ah!
11:39Ah!
11:40Ah!
11:40What if I added to it?
11:44Pull it on, bird.
11:46Pull it off!
11:54Yeah!
11:56That's it!
11:59Ah!
12:00You were so tough when he was in that, uh, glass tube.
12:14Where's the guy get a recharge around here?
12:25Hey!
12:26Excuse me, gentlemen, but I'm out.
12:42Yeah, you're in trouble.
12:50Buzz off.
12:53Take your medicine.
12:55No!
12:56No!
12:57No!
13:10Yeah, you should know that one.
13:15It's all right here, Rich.
13:17Everything the cops need to put Alva on lockdown.
13:19Too bad there's no reward.
13:21Oh, yes, there is.
13:22Once the doctors see this thing, they'll know exactly what was in that gas I sniffed,
13:25and I can stop worrying.
13:27Or start.
13:28As the case may be.
13:29Thanks, glass half-empty man.
13:32Oh, what now?
13:33Came from the square.
13:35Verged the bus.
13:36We'll get the next one.
13:37Come on!
13:41Come on!
13:55Come on!
13:57What was that, gosh!
13:58What is that?
14:02You know, next bus should be here in a couple of minutes.
14:05Really?
14:06the bus. Are you crazy? After what he did to you last time? Got to. At least wait for
14:15the fireman then. Can't. Yo, Virgil, don't let your history with him get in the way.
14:23You're not just Virgil anymore. You're static. Remember that. I'll keep it in mind.
14:37How come nobody's eating? Afraid of heartburn? Maybe it's your lousy cooking.
14:49Smart.
15:23No! Lose something?
15:29Hot streak.
15:31Hot streak.
15:31Hot streak.
15:44Hot streak.
15:47Hot streak.
15:50Let's go.
16:28Let's go.
16:50Let's go.
16:57Let's go.
17:04Let's go.
17:10Let's go.
17:16You did it.
17:17Yeah.
17:18Lucky that water main was there.
17:20Uh, Virge, that wasn't a water main.
17:22It was a sewer line.
17:25I think static's work here is done.
17:50Ah, Virge, don't go thinkin' that way.
17:52You stopped out of a cold.
17:53All the evidence got burned up, and he's still walking around free.
17:59Hello?
17:59Virge, Dr. Harris.
18:01Dr. Harris, did you...
18:03Is everything...
18:04I got your blood tests back, and everything's fine.
18:07I got your blood tests back, and everything's fine.
18:08Except for one thing.
18:10What?
18:11Your electrolytes.
18:12They're a little high.
18:13My...
18:13My electrolytes?
18:15You know about electrolytes.
18:17Yeah.
18:17Uh, no, no.
18:17Why would I know?
18:19Why would I know anything about electricity?
18:21Electrolytes.
18:21They get high when you eat too much salty food.
18:24Fries, pizza.
18:26Fries?
18:27Pizza?
18:27You cut down on that stuff, and you'll be perfectly normal.
18:31Thank you, doctor.
18:33Did you hear that?
18:34I'm okay.
18:35I'm normal.
18:37Woo-hoo!
18:40Perfectly normal.
18:42Yeah, right.
18:44Yeah, I didn't care about that.
