Static

A minor but memorable piece of the Marvel mutant tapestry, Static debuted in 1999's X-Men: Magneto War #1 — a high-stakes Modern Age event crafted by the talented trio of Fabian Nicieza, Alan Davis, and Lee Weeks. This character moves through the margins of the X-Men's world, sharing pages with the likes of Projector, Barnacle, and the Kleinstock brothers across stories tied to Magneto's most dramatic machinations. With appearances in Magneto: Dark Seduction and a nod in Marvel's exhaustive All-New Official Handbook, Static occupies that fascinating niche of characters who color the edges of landmark storylines — small in count, but part of the rich ensemble that made Marvel's mutant corner so densely populated and endlessly explorable.
