From awkward teenager to having electromagnetic powers, Virgil Hawkins will have anything but an ordinary life.

High school student Virgil Hawkins was just like any other awkward teenager worrying about girls, looking cool, and not getting bullied. When an act of desperation brought him to Paris Island on the night of an event called "The Big Bang," his life afterword was anything but ordinary.

After being doused in an experimental gas, Virgil soon discovered that he had electromagnetic powers. Donning a sweet costume and wisecracking attitude like his favorite comic book characters, Virgil became Static, Dakota City's newest and coolest superhero, loved and respected by all... that is, if only he could tell people about his secret identity.

This DC Finest volume contains Static's electrifying origin plus issues from the "Worlds Collide" crossover. Collects Static #1-15, Superman- The Man of Steel #36, Superboy #7, and Worlds Collide #1.
