I put a shock to your system.

Static Shock!

The gods are nice, the alarm shut off,

everything's covered.

Huh What the heck is up with

that?

You mean, what up with that?Either you

slang properlyDon't use it at all.

It's a kid on a flying manhole. I don't

care if it's Aladdin on his magic carpet.

Get him.

Metal weapons and dumb thugs. How easy

does it get?

Like turning on lights in a roach motel.

That's my taser punch. Shocking, isn't

it?I got him, Duke. I get caught. Okay,

you caught me off guard. I'm new at this,

so sue me.

Not that I have a curfew or anything, but

I really gotta wrap this up.

Stick around, fellas. You've got company.

Piece of cake with frosting and

sprinkles. My first bad guy beat down and

I hardly broke a sweat. Hard to believe

that just two days ago, I was the last

person you call hero material.

Check me out now, will ya?I got the looks

that thrill ya. If you're down, I'll feel

ya. Yeah.

Coming up like weeds. Hey, Puff Daddy,

you're taking a long time for a guy with

only five whiskers. At least I'm growing

mine on purpose. Just hurry up and give

you a little weak rap and a rest. Aw,

don't forget your dog collar.

Sisters.

Ah Dang static electricity. Isn't it time

we got some hardwood floors, people?

Sorry, son. I'm in a hurry this morning.

I feel you, Pops. Got a big day in front

of me myself. Big. Big, big.

I'm taking my friendship with Frida to

another level. Gonna ask her to

homecoming. What'd she ever do to you?

What's this?An egg smoothie?You know

that's just the way Mama made 'em. Funny.

I don't recall ever needing a straw to

eat hers. Come on, Virgil. Your sister

went to all this trouble. The least you

can do is give 'em a try.

HuhMama, if you're listening,

I could use some help here.

Hello?Hey,

Teddy. Yeah, I really liked

that lecture last night. Tonight?You mean

a real day?

Umm Let me check my schedule. Of course I

have a schedule. No, I don't have a

little black book. It's Paisley.

Good looking out, moms.

Fluffy egg goodness.

V-Man. Richie. Is today

gonna be that day or what?If you mean me

and Frida?Of course, today's the day.

Man, it's on. Hey.

Oh, yo-yo, here's your chance, bro. Let

me hear that strong rap you're going to

drop on her. Well, Frida, we've known

each other for a long time now, and I was

kind of wondering if you would do me the

honor. Snore. Do me

the honor. Man, you sound like a form

letter. That's not going to cut it with--

hey, Frida. Hey, guys.

Guess what?Mr. McDonald said we could put

up the decorations early this year. Cool.

Hey, look at me. I got to go. Good luck

with your test.

You're worried this weekend, Virgil. I've

been dying to talk to you about

homecoming. Oh, really?Yeah, I need your

advice. You know Eddie the quarterback?I

heard he wants to take me to the dance.

But Dave also left a message, and Cleo

said that Seth Gray wanted my phone

number. Isn't it wild?I'm juggling

3 hotties. You know, Frida, hotties and

everything. In some circles, wit and

offbeat charm still count for a lot.

I was wondering if you would do me the

honor... Hey, Frida, looking

good.

You smell good, too.

F-stop, you need to brush up on Body

Language 101. Hers says, Not in this

lifetime.

Let's see if your face can understand

what my fist is saying. Ah

Yo, I know you're not sweating my man,

Virgil, Francis. Nah, Wade,

we were just playing. Here,

Virge.

Catch you later, Virgil.

Tangling with F-stop?Are you crazy?That

dude makes Norman Bates look like Mr.

Rogers. Tell me something I don't know.

If it wasn't for Wade, I'd be looking for

a good plastic surgeon right about now.

Yeah, straight up, V. Hey, if any more

static breaks out between you and F-stop,

you know I got your back. Thanks, man.

Peace and out.

If only you knew kung fu.

Hey,

I'm picking up where I left off. Jump.

Come on, guys.

Oh, gee, can't we do this later, fellas?A

beatdown just doesn't feel right without

lockers and dim school lighting. Virgil

the jokester. Laugh your way out of

this funny man.

Epstop, Wade and his homie headed ourway.

You'll be seeing more of me, Verge.

Believe that.

Ah, wait. I had 'em just where I wanted

'em, man. Meet me under the stone

bridge in a half. A half hour?But

I-- I gotta meet my pops in a half hour.

I-- In a half?

Say, son, where were you this afternoon?

Well, Dad, the nice gang bangers invited

me for tea and cookies. Son, don't you

know that bangers are dangerous?With all

due respect, Dad. Well, duh

Gee, it's so nice out. It's a shame to be

indoors.

Welcome to our crib, Virgil. Cosy,

this place should be on that show, This

Old Warehouse. I like you, Virgil.

You're funny and you're smart, but

keeping Francis off your butt takes too

much of my time. I... I never asked you

to do that, Wade. Hear that?Dissing,

Wade. You must be crazy. Word. That punk

Francis is looking for street cred, young

brother. One day, he's gonna catch you

out there, and I won't be around. Sick

dudelike him. Who knows what he'll do

then?Gee, I was kind of hoping he'd get

bored of me and go terrorize a tank. This

is no joke, Virgil. There's only one way

you're going to save your skin. Roll with

my crew. Me?You don't want me.

I'm only 14, and I'm too stringy to be a

banger. Don't front, Virgil. I'm offering

you life insurance. You join up, and F

Stopp will back off quick. He ain't

looking to tangle with this posse.

I feel what you're saying,

but it's my pops. He's got alittle

problem with gangs, and I'm too young to

be homeless. Your pop's gonna watch your

back all day?He gonna beat on F-stop for

you?Always said you were smart, Virgil.

Don't prove me wrong now.

Football injury, huhYes, sir. Two

things. One, since when do you play

football without a helmet?And two, since

when does your narrow behind play

football at all?Who asked you, Miss Nosey?

Pops, can I be excused?I'm really sore.

Sure, son.

Come on, Dad. Football?He'll talk about

it when he's ready.

Ah

Hello?Tell me it's not true. Tell me you

did not join Wade's crew. Where'd you

hear that?Word's all over, Virg. It's

like they want everyone to know. But I

didn't. Not exactly. I mean, I didn't

say yes. I just sort of nodded like I was

thinking on it. Geez, Virgil, your mom

died from gang fire. Don't you think I

know that?What am I going to do?

I got the F problem. Big time. Yeah.

Well, now you got the Wade problem, too.

He's going to expect favors, man. OK, OK,

I'll squash this. Tell him there's been a

misunderstanding. Maybe I could be a

banger water boy or something. Hold on, I

got incoming. Hello?Meet us at the

docks, now. Gate 10. We're taking care of

your problem tonight. Wade,

Wade! Terrific.

Hello?

Keep your mouth shut.

What's going on?There's gonna be a major

throwdown tonight with all the crews in

the city. Wait, we gotta talk. Shh.

Look.

Time to go the permanent route, little

bro. This way.

Oh, man. I stepped into it big this time.

Virgil,

this is gonna be fun.

Freeze.

You are in a restricted area. Drop all

weapons and step into the open.

What's going on?Grab your mask.

I'm home. I'm alive.

Dang static electricity.

Down, boy.

Phew. Don't slam the doors. Yes,

Sir.

Huh

Whoa! Dad's razor! It's

possessed!

I'm a human fuse box!

I got it! I got it! Hello?

Virgil, what happened?You are gonna trip.

Meet me in the auto junkyard ASAP. Bye.

Say what?

Virgil! Yo, Virgil!

I'm worrying about his butt and he's

rushing me off the phone and...

Whoa! Tell me that's not cool. How

the heck did you... There was an

explosion last night. There was this gas.

It changed me, Richie. Check it out.

Double whoa. Yeah.

No more asking my pops to borrow his car,

dude. Uh, you

don't even drive yet, V. Whatever.

Oh, and I rather like this.

Talk about your static cling. V, man,

you could so be a superhero.

I could, couldn't

I?

Come on, V. We gotta get you some gear.

Not your best look, chicken legs.

All right, now this is just embarrassing.

Yeah, you look like a battery commercial.

Next.

We've got ourselves a winner.

And that's pretty much how it all began.

We need a ladder. Guess I should

ground him.

The new lab computers.

Those lights go over there. Hey, I

thought Virgil was coming. Oh, well, he

had to get his VCR fixed. Yeah, you know

how it flashes?12:00, 12:00. That. Check

it out. What is it?What is it?Oh,

it's over

here. Let's go. Special

delivery.

I had business at the warehouse, and look

what I found. Who are you?

The name's Static. I

put a shock to your system. Good one.

I see you still got some work to do.

Fortunately, I'm what you call one of

your all-purpose superheroes.

It's beautiful.

Not as beautiful as the sight I see, my

Cherie.

Why isn't it this easy for Virgil?See ya!

He's a natural.

It's getting worse. They keep mutating.

Is the hazmat team here yet?He's

burning up.

What a trip.

This is gonna be fun. Gotta get

'em, gotta go, get 'em

I put a shock to your system.

Static shock!
