If he just used socks as weapons, he could be “laundry lord”. Unfortunately, that makes him sound like a D-list Batman villain, of about the same caliber as Condiment King and Calendar Man.
I don’t know, Static had some pretty cool powers, and he just had static electricity for a power. It was kind of supercharged static, though, so I guess you could get low amounts of static powers and just be a really bad version of Static.
I actually have this super power and it’s annoying as hell. I’ve grounded myself via a potted plant several times. Not metal, a houseplant. I went for Halloween last year as Captain Capacitor. I wore a cape, an LED headband and had the capacitor symbol on my shirt.
IIRC Electro in one of the, now older, spider man shows got out of jail and was seeking out Spidey for revenge. Spidey, as is his wont, sassed Electro to no end with Eltro’s reply being something about not giving him any static. Eureka moment by Electro. Spidey falls off wall and Electro leaves town on a rail singing I-beat-Spidey-I-beat-Spidey with Spidey slowly picking himself up off the pavement with various ows and such.
“static king”……..
il leave now

Interestingly you can buy grip pads now that let you pick things up with static by utilizing capacitance. Make a glove!
cooooool……

Well, the pessimistic side of me assumes I’ll be struck by lightning _without_ there being any thunderstorm.
Maybe, if you happened to be walking by a window with a huge Tesla coil experiment going wrong on the other side…?
Then you should sign up to wave that baton thing in front of an orchestra because it sounds like you would be a great conductor.

Such is the Power of Static!
Adam, you already did a comic about getting struck by lightning and getting powers.
You say that like it’s a bad thing. I like the variations on a theme.
Was that the one about farting sparks?
Actually I think I did more than one. Charles Schulz also did a few strips about Lucy pulling the football away from Charlie Brown.
That is the best shutdown of criticism I’ve ever seen.
Which side assumes that you will be used a power source for an electrical generator?

Bug der Graaf needs a three-picture deal.

Well. If it isn’t my archenemy Dr. Victor Von Downy.
