who came first black lightning or static shock
Static (DC Comics) The character drew much inspiration and was in fact designed to represent a modern-era Spider-Man archetype. After the closing of Milestone Comics, Static was incorporated into the DC Universe and became a member of the Teen Titans team. A common misconception is that Hawkins is the son of fellow DC Comics superhero Black Lightning, who debuted much earlier and possesses similar abilities. Black Lightning addresses the coincidence once in a Justice League narrative.[citation needed]
