Raven Vs Static

You're right it's not Raven vs. Dr. Light, this is Raven vs. Static. Static's powers are based around static electricity, yes, but that means that he can use the electricity he produces, even though it is static electricity, to power electronic devices. He has done this countless times. He has used his powers to illuminate light bulbs, standard and flourescent, recharge and drain the power core of the Watchtower, and numerous other things.

When he has used his powers to make lightbulbs light up, he has been able to make them put out more light than they should, meaning he increases their wattage. He can therefore use street lambs to shine extremely bright light on Raven, either by pulling the bulb out of a steet lamp with his powers, or just by lighting up all the street lamps on a street. He can also create extremely bright flashes of light, what he calls a nova burst, with a piece of wire. Essentially the wire becomes a fillament, and he turns it into a very short lived light bulb by heating it with his electric based powers and getting it to put off light. He carries pieces of wire in his coat just in case he needs to use his nova burst. This would more or less duplicate the effects of one of Dr. Light's light based weapons.

So while it isn't Raven vs. Dr. Light, it is Raven vs. someone who can do very similar things to Dr. Light, and thereby probably get the same reaction out of Raven as Dr. Light did. Also, Static isn't a gansta wanna be. He's a rather intelligent student, with super powers. A teenager who looked up to the Super Heroes in his world all his life, and upon receiving powers of his own, decided to follow their example, and become a super hero himself. Just because he's black doesn't mean he's a gansta wanna-be, and I find it highly offensive that you would think such a thing, let alone state it outright.

I'M black. Chill. I can say it.

So? Why reinforce racial stereo-types, especially on a character to which that particular stereo-type does not apply? Seems like a strange thing to do to me.

I think that raven would win hands down. She has fighting expierence and her force fields are more powerful than statics. She also has a lot of magic on her side and I don't think that static could handle that. Has he ever expierenced magic?

I'm a Bill Cosbyian. You wouldn't understand. 🙄

the thing with dr light is his power is basically he creates objects out of hard light. static uses electricity. big difference. the thing about staitc is he's total NARC and thats why i hate him. i think he's lame and thats why i hate him. i just totally despise the way he alwys want to talk things out. also he is a very condescending SOB. why? cuz everytime someone seems to be going thru some stuff he alwys want to go over to thier house un invited and talk to them or talk to thier parents. acting like he's better than they are

to name a few epsodes.

the one where that girl had iceman like powers
the one with she-bang
the one with the asian kid who turned into a hulk like crature
the one where ritchie got powers from that old guy
the one where that track star had turned into that ionic monster and joined Ebon
the one where that kid was getting picked on and he brought a gun to school
the one where that other kid could create hard light objects psionically, and his step brother was getting him to steal.

its always the same BS about telling them how much their mom misses them or think about the ppl thier hurting and blah blah blah.

raven doesnt play around. she is the only one of the titans that has a killer instcint and she's willing to act on it. she doesnt even have to lose it completely. she would cream static

I totally agree with you manjaro. static is a loser in my opinion

Its not that I don't like Static, but I just don't like his show, because seriously... the things he does... Do they EVER surprise you?

I get confused by his powers sometimes.

me too, how can he listen to cd's just with his hand??

Aparently, static has the power to digitally read (like the laser on your cd). I believe magneto can do it too. But I have never seen him do it. Joseph (magneto's clone) did something similiar. Anyway he must be able to then change the electrons/atomic particles to sound much like a telephone or cd player does.

I don't think the writers of the show thought of it that much. I think they were just being idiots, although what you said makes alot of sense.

If static can do that then can't storm do it too?? Techinaclly she should be able to

Everything is energy in some format. So he may be able to control a wide array. Or better yet all energy may have the same basic building blocks. I am not sure, my physics a little rusty. I do know that all energy comes from sunlight. Oh and of course the show seems lame. What? a show that tries to solve problems without violence. What were they thinking.

ps draco, i am an afro-american. I come from a poor urban background, and I take offense to what you said. the stereotyping, I mean is it really neccessary? Oh and I don't use that n-word either. You know who use those words? afro-americans who never stop being slaves, and caucasians who feel inferior.

The n-word? Where the heck did you get that from? The real slaves are afro-americans who don't recognize the faults in their culture. It wasn't an attack on African-Americans as a whole but rather the inherent sexism and self-racism that many African-Americans support through the NAACP. Discussion of race is a necessity. Crying "racist" at every person who brings up race in a somewhat negative light is the byproduct of an insecure young man.

Well, I'm sticking to my earlier view. I think Static could hold his own.

Personally, I like a compassionate hero who tries to find a peaceful solution to a problem.

If y'all wanna talk race, then take it to the Off-Topic Forum, or anywhere else that's not here.

im black and i dint think it was offensive 😉

Now I've thought about it, I'd say Raven would win.
