No. 3

Static [Teen Titans 045]

WHY I WANTED HIM IN THE FIRST PLACE: He’s really the foremost and best Milestone Comics character, the one to hit it big and cross over first to the DC universe proper. I’m an old-school Static fan from when his comic was new. (It still bugs me a little bit inside when folks call him “Static Shock.”)

I WANT TO RUN HIM EVERY WEEK BECAUSE: He’s just a classically F.U.N. fig. Friendly with not too overwhelming stats or powers. Useful with Enhancement, double-target EE, Running Shot and HSS just a push away. Nifty with his nutty Trash Can trait and, of course, just for being Static.

I DON’T PLAY HIM EACH WEEK BECAUSE: No keywords just kills his place on many teams, especially at his price point and with the emergence of Precision Strike making him less survivable.

I’LL FIELD HIM NEXT: On a Trenchcoat Brigade team, and DEFINITELY a Breakfast Club scenario (where no characters can share keywords).

Next: Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos
