[hawkgirlz]

do you ever think about how in the static shock show, there was a sequence where this girl named madelyn used her powers to get into richie's mind and literally all richie had was virgil in his head which lead to virgil's secret identity being exposed? and richie hated it when virgil would hang out with his girls? and richie was wearing an earring? like ik they confirmed it + richie was gay in comics but this had more gay subtext than 90% of modern cartoons nowadays IDCCC

this is quite possibly the funniest way I’ve ever seen a cartoon “subtly” hint at a character being gay to beat network censorship bc oh my fucking god

Tucker hadn't heard from his cousin, Richie, in a while. It wasn't the biggest deal, Tucker has lots of cousins he doesn't necessarily talk to. But, well, when he sees someone who looks a lot like Richie in the news. Well, it was concerning.

Since when did Richie have superpowers?

I can't be the only one who thought that in "A League Of Their Own" (Static Shock S03, E06 & E07) the show insinuated that Richie is, at least partly, like a computer, right? Or that he is partly a computer.

After the fight at the Watchtower, Brainiac infects Backpack and then Richie. Except, I'm not sure if Brainiac actually used Richie as a host. In order to defeat him, Static had to shut down Backpack, which also freed Gear, so that meant he was in the Backpack. Brainiac used thought controlling discs on the League members, but not on Richie. His controlling device was different and seemed to be integrated with him, like if the virus infected him, not just controlled his thoughts.

Later on, Brainiac basically fuses with Richie, turning him temporarily into, em, this. Some cyborg looking form. I'm not sure what purpose was this supposed to serve.

And then there's this. Not only is he describing Richie similarly to how he described himself, it's also interesting how he is still using Richie as his host. He could use backpack or just download itself into the robotic body, but no, he choses to say inside the body of the super smart teenager.

It does make sense for Brainiac to do that. After all, Gear's meta abilities basically turned him into a living computer. I just think it's fun to think about it more literally.

Do you know this queer character?

Richie is Gay and uses he/him pronouns!

In "Tantrum", Thomas Kim is dismayed to receive a 99 on a returned essay, much to Virgil's amusement as he is pleased with his 95. Interestingly, particularly given later developments in the show, Richie didn't get as good of a grade although the specifics go unsaid.

After school, a Bang Baby attacks a teacher in the parking lot. Virgil hears the racket from the library, leading to Static intervening.

While the Doylist reason is clear, I suspect at this point in the episode, Virgil is avoiding home because that's where Robert and Sharon are watching VHS tapes that feature Jean.

Richie checks out the parking lot after the fight, finding Thomas' essay. He theorizes that Thomas must be the Bang Baby, as it would explain the situation. They decide to directly ask him about it.

At the Kims' house, Mr. Kim is quizzing his son relentlessly on history facts. Mrs. Kim interrupts due to Virgil and Richie arriving, pleased to see her son have friends over so she insists on a break.

The discussion doesn't go well, with Thomas being genuinely bewildered by Richie having found his essay.

In large part thanks to having seen a video with Richie where Jean successfully deals with a small Virgil having a tantrum of his own, Static later just lets the Bang Baby tire himself out and revert to Thomas. And yes, the episode does make a Jekyll and Hyde reference. It is mentioned that now that all three Kims know what's happening, they're getting help for Thomas. The specifics aren't given, but I'm choosing to be hopeful it'll be successful. It is unclear how Thomas became a Bang Baby in the first place- maybe the gas was further-spreading than initially assumed?

This was a great first season finale that showcases Virgil's growth as a person and a superhero, as well as emphasizing how while his mother is gone, she's still a positive influence for him.
