STATIC SHOCK (2000-2004) was such a great series. I have great memories watching it growing up. While in some ways it was pretty typical in terms of hero stories, there's still a lot of entertainment value. Static Shock is still a very cool show and certainly worth watching.
"In the city of Dakota, a teenage boy, Virgil Hawkins, with electricity based powers, with the help of his inventive friend, fights crime as a superhero."
Not sure of there was any "blaxpoitation" going on, as some have previously said or just early attempts of representation, but either way this Superhero series was a really cool show, and one of the earlier series that had a black superhero lead characters (Blade, Spawn, Storm, Bishop, Black Panther etc.), especially in time when there were very few of them. So that should count for something. Static Shock was a fun show, regardless of race and definitely worth notice. It shouldn't have been cancelled.
