Overview: In the city of Dakota, a teenage boy with electricity based powers, with the help of his inventive friend, fights crime as a superhero!

Blu ray Verdict: 'Static Shock’s third season arrives dynamically double-charged as a new hero joins Static in his fight to protect Dakota, while the rookie hero demonstrates big-league-level experience.

Virgil’s journey to the hero elites begins with a Bat-bang as Static travels to Gotham City in pursuit of a Bang Baby that’s fallen in with some seductively sinister “big sisters” – the Gotham City sirens Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn.

But a Batman (and Alfred) assist is waiting in the wings. Then, Richie’s knack for invention is revealed to be a Bang Baby by-product, and Richie becomes the high-tech hero Gear. But that’s just the start to a season that sees Static in Africa alongside African super hero Anansi, plus our hero battling Brainiac alongside the Justice League and tackling Toyman with Big Blue himself, Superman.

Also, this season’s end sees the inspiring African-American hero/role model shaken to the core as he travels to the recent past to revisit the night he lost his mother. And with that in mind, one of the best things about this show is how real life topics such as school shootings and gangs are easily worked into the plot without feeling fake.

The stories feel relatable. Other topics include racism, judging by appearance, the loss of a family member, and more. Virgil and Richie make the best friends duo work without coming across as cheesy or unreal, and they both deal with the problems they face maturely.

As with this 13 episode third season of the DC animated series and the two that have gone before it, what I absolutely love the most about this show is the crossover episodes they have with other DC characters like Batman, Robin, the Justice League, and even Batman Beyond.

Simply put, 'Static Shock' is good stuff and as much as I know the series only ran for one more season, I had hoped that one day he crosses over into other media forms; outside the comics or the animated series. But, he never did, of course.

In closing, 'Static Shock - Season Three' (as an animated series) has all kind of cool Meta-humans that us comic fans can't get enough of, and Phil Lamar's voice work is genius! These are all Widescreen Presentations (1.37:1) enhanced for 16x9 TVs and comes with the Special Feature of “Superman: The Animated Series: Obsession” (Bonus Episode).
