Description: "Like any awkward teenager, Virgil Hawkins worries about girls, pocket money, girls and getting beaten up. But recently, he's had even more on his mind: his newfound super-powers, his secret identity-- and girls. On a night of terror dubbed 'The Big Bang,' Virgil Hawkins received incredible electromagnetic powers...so his swashbucking alter ego, Statis was born. A wisecracking crusader in a city infested with superhuman crime, Static is about to learn the hard way, that as much fun as it is playing the hero, it's no game"--P. [4] of cover.
