 WITH THE RECENT NEWS ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE STATIC SHOCK ONLINE LIVE

 SERIES, WE HERE AT BLOODSYNDICATE.COM DECIDED TO MAKE SURE 

THAT ALL THE FUTURE STATIC SHOCK FANS 

DON'T THINK THAT STATIC'S ORIGIN STORY IS A COPY OFF OF THE TV FLASH

ORIGIN STORY.  BASED ON A SERIES OF VARIOUS SIMILARITIES BETWEEN THE TWO DC

 TV SHOWS I FELT THE NEED TO DO THIS BLOG AND ASK THE QUESTION:

               

    WHY THE HELL DID THE FLASH TV SERIES 

 COPY FROM THE STATIC SHOCK CARTOON?!? 

  
                                               
                                                              
            THE FLASH TV SERIES HAS BECOME A HIT TELEVISION SERIES AND IS             DEFINITELY MUST SEE TV. TRUST ME. I'VE WATCHED EVERY EPISODE SO FAR...AND IT'S GOOD. BUT I DID NOTICE A LOT OF SIMILARITIES TO ANOTHER DC COMICS TELEVISION SERIES THAT ALSO BECAME AN INSTANT HIT AFTER IT'S DEBUT EARNING VARIOUS AWARDS & VARIOUS NOMINATIONS. THAT SERIES IS THE ONE & ONLY:

IF YOU REMEMBER THE CARTOON STATIC SHOCK THEN YOU WOULD KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT IF NOT THEN I WILL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO SHOW YOU WHAT I'M TALKING..OR RATHER WRITING/TYPING/BLOGGING ABOUT.









EXHIBIT A:



ACCELERATING  BIG BANG ORIGINS


THE MAIN THING THAT CAUGHT MY EYE AFTER I WATCHED CW'S THE FLASH TV SERIES IS THAT IT REMINDED ME OF ANOTHER DC CHARACTER, SPECIFICALLY A CARTOON THAT CAME OUT ALMOST TWO DECADES AGO. THAT CARTOON OF COURSE IS STATIC SHOCK. NOW THE ORIGINS OF BOTH HEROES AND THE POWERS THAT THEY GAINED DUE TO BOTH UNPREDICTABLE EVENTS ARE DIFFERENT BUT THE SIMILARITIES CAN'T BE IGNORED. INSTEAD OF THE TEAR GAS WITH Q-JUICE USED IN THE STATIC SHOCK SERIES THAT ACCIDENTALLY CREATED HIM AND SEVERAL OF HIS ENEMIES, THE FLASH SERIES USED THE PARTICLE ACCELERATOR MACHINE THAT "ACCIDENTALLY" EXPLODED AND CREATED THE FLASH AS WELL AS SEVERAL OF HIS ENEMIES.

AFTER GAINING THEIR POWERS, THE TWO GOOD HEARTEN YOUNG MEN, BEGAN TO PROTECT THEIR CITIES AS COSTUMED HEROES FROM OTHERS WHO ALSO GAINED POWERS DUE TO THE ACCIDENT (BIG BANG/PARTICLE ACCELERATOR) WITH INTENTIONS TO COMMIT EVIL/CRIMINAL ACTS. THATS BASICALLY WHAT HAPPENED IN STATIC IN 2000 AND WAS BASICALLY DONE AGAIN IN THE FLASH 14 YEARS LATER. STILL NEED PROOF...

BELOW IS A SHORT DESCRIPTION OF BOTH SHOWS SO YOU CAN SEE THE SIMILARITIES:

 In The Static Shock series, During the dispute
 between the gangs and police, a shot was fired
 releasing gas with an unknown mutagen known as
 Q-juice which caused mutations among the people
 in the vicinity. Virgil inhaled some of the gas and
 discovers that he has the ability to create, 
generate, absorb, and control electricity and
 magnetism. Virgil soon discovers that the gas also
 gave others in the area their own powers, and 

unfortunately, it also led several of them to 

become supervillains.Virgil vows to use his gifts to

 protect Dakota City as a super hero known as 

"Static".











In the Flash TV series, an advanced particle
 
accelerator malfunctions during its public 

unveiling, bathing the city center with a
 
previously unknown form of radiation and 

creating a severe thunderstorm. Allen is struck

 by lightning from the storm, doused with 

chemicals in his lab and discovers he has the

 ability to move at superhuman speeds. Allen 

soon discovers that he is not the only one who

 was changed by the radiation. Allen vows to 

use his gifts to protect Central City from the 

escalating violence of metahuman criminals.





 AS YOU CAN SEE, THE BASIC CONCEPT/PLOT OF THE CARTOON STATIC SHOCK WAS BASICALLY RIPPED OFFED BY THE FLASH TV SERIES. INSTEAD OF THE BIG BANG CREATING THE MAIN HERO AND A LONG LIST OF SUPER VILLAINS, THE ACCELERATOR CREATED THE FLASH AND ALL HIS ENEMIES. WHO NOW THREATEN THE CENTRAL CITY LIKE THE BANG BABIES DID DAKOTA CITY.



EXHIBIT B:


FWB: FRIENDS WITH BRAINS


...& POWERS




 DURING BOTH SERIES, EACH HERO HAD HELP WITH THEIR FIGHT AGAINST CRIME. STATIC HAD RICHIE FOLEY AND THE FLASH HAD CISO RAMON (& A FEW OTHERS). RICHIE IS A POP CULTURE GREEK, GAME PLAYING, COMIC BOOK NERD WHO ALSO HAPPENS TO BE VERY INTELLIGENT. RICHIE IS THE ONE THAT HELPED STATIC MAKE UP HIS COSTUME AND DESIGNED/CREATED A LOT OF STATICS TECH AND ENCOURAGED HIM TO BECOME A SUPER HERO. RICHIE, OVER THE YEARS WOULD BECOME A HERO IN HIS OWN RIGHT. DURING THE 3RD SEASON OF STATIC SHOCK, IT WAS REVEALED THAT RICHIE WAS EXPOSED TO THE QUANTUM RESIDUE THAT WAS ON STATIC MINUTES AFTER THE BIG BANG. THIS BOOSTED RICHIES BRAIN CAPACITY AND MADE HIM A TECHNOPATH KNOWN AS GEAR.



THE FLASH, AS I STATED BEFORE, ALSO HAS A BUDDY THAT HELPED HIM OUT IN EVERY EPISODE. THAT FRIEND IS FRANCISCO RAMON. CISCO IS EXTREMELY INTELLECT AND IS PROBABLY THE SMARTEST CHARACTER ON THE FLASH. CISCO IS A MECHANICAL ENGINEERING GENIUS WHO JUST HAPPENS TO BE A POP CULTURE, MOVIES, & COMIC BOOK GREEK...LIKE RICHIE. CISCO HELPED THE FLASH LEARN HOW TO CONTROL HIS POWERS, DESIGNED THE FLASH'S COSTUME, AND BUILT TECH FOR FLASH TO USE. DURING THE END OF THE 1ST SEASON OF THE FLASH, IT WAS REVEALED THAT CISCO WAS ALSO EXPOSED BY THE PARTICLE ACCELERATOR BLAST. THIS ALLOWED CISCO TO DETECT AND REMEMBER ALTERNATE TIMELINES BY FEELING AND CONTROLLING VIBRATIONS.






EXHIBIT C:


GOING BACK IN TIME . . .


TO SEE MY DEAD MOM.



IN STATIC CARTOON SERIES, NOT THE COMIC, STATIC'S MOTHER HAD DIED DUE TO GANG VIOLENCE. THIS HAPPENED YEARS BEFORE VIRGIL BECAME STATIC. DOING AN EPISODE OF STATIC SHOCK WHEN HE HAD WENT BACK IN TIME, STATIC WAS ABLE TO SEE HIS MOTHER MINUTED BEFORE HER UNTIMELY DEATH. STATIC REVEALED TO HIS MOTHER THAT HE WAS AN OLDER VERSION OF HER SON AND SHOWED HER HIS LOVE BEFORE GOING BACK INTO THE PRESENT TIME. YOU CAN CHECK OUT THE VIDEO OF IT BELOW...


 

SIMILAR TO WHAT HAPPENED IN STATIC CARTOON SERIES, THE FLASHS' MOTHER ALSO WAS KILLED, BUT INSTEAD OF GANG VIOLENCE, IT WAS HIS ARCH NEMESIS: THE REVERSE FLASH. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL YEARS BEFORE BARRY BECAME FLASH. AT THE TIME, THIS STORYLINE OF THE FLASH'S MOTHER DYING NEVER TOOK PLACE IN THE COMIC BOOK UNTIL 2008...EIGHT YEARS AFTER STATIC ALREADY DONE IT. ANYHOW...DURING THE SEASON FINALE, THE FLASH DETERMINED TO FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENED TO HIS MOTHER, GOES BACK INTO  TIME TO SAVE HIM FROM THE REVERSE FLASH. THOUGH HE ALLOWED THE EVENTS TO PLAY OUT AND HIS MOTHER GETS KILLED...AGAIN. THE FLASH WAS ABLE TO SEE & TALK TO HIS MOTHER MINUTES BEFORE HER UNTIMELY DEATH. FLASH REVEALED TO HIS MOTHER THAT HE WAS AN OLDER VERSION OF HER SON AND SHOWED HER HIS LOVE BEFORE GOING BACK INTO THE PRESENT TIME. HMM...SOUNDS VERY FAMILIAR TO WHAT I JUST WROTE ABOUT STATIC. YOU CAN CHECK OUT THE VIDEO OF IT BELOW...







EXHIBIT D :



STATIC'S FLASHING BOLT



Image result for STATIC SYMBOLImage result for original flash superhero symbol

IN STATIC CARTOON SERIES (AND LATER IN THE COMIC) STATIC'S SYMBOL WAS OR RATHER APPEARS TO BE A MOVING LIGHTENING BOLT. SOME ARTIST DRAWS HIM WITH A BOLT VERY SIMILAR TO THE FLASH ICONIC SYMBOL. BUT UNLIKE ALL THE OTHER FACTS THAT PROVED THE FLASH SERIES STOLE FROM STATIC SHOCK CARTOON...I DECIDED TO BE NICE AND SHOW THAT STATIC HAS ALSO..SOMEWHAT...HAS SOMETHING THAT THE FLASH HAD FIRST AND THAT'S THE LIGHTNING BOLT SYMBOL. EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE VERY DIFFERENT...THEY'RE ALSO VERY SIMILAR. JUST LIKE SEVERAL PARTS OF THEIR RESPECTIVE TV/CARTOON SERIES.

Currently DC entertainment is working on a live action web series called Static Shock. Hopefully it's as good as the live action Flash series. With all the super hero team up going on in DCU's TV land. Maybe we might get to see a live action fight between to two which will of course lead to an eventually team up between Static and The Flash. 


Speaking of DC characters fighting each other....


NEXT:WHO WOULD WIN IN A FIGHT:

THE BLOOD SYNDICATE VS TEEN TITANS(TV ROSTER) ?!



 

 

BloodyPic Of The Week:


Illustrated by KENT WILLIAMS (Blood Syndicate # 30)

The Blood Syndicate is a multicultural gang street gang of superpowered metahumans operating out of Paris Island, in Dakota City. Most of its members received their powers in the "Big Bang", when a tear-gas laced with Quantum Juice was used to dispel a massive gang riot, killing many and unlocking the metagene in an elite and surviving few. Its members are compiled from the remnants of several other street gangs, including the Paris Island Bloods and the Force Syndicate, hence their title being a compilation of both names. The team has been through several changes since first coming together. Originally, the leader was now deceased member Tech-9, followed by Wise Son, then Holocaust, and finally Wise Son regains his status as HNIC of The Syndicate.

The Blood Syndicate is created by Dwayne McDuffie, Denys Cowan & Ivan velez jr.

The Blood Syndicate is a Milestone Media property and published by DC Comic

PLAYING WIT' FIRE - CHAPTER TWO - "HOT LIKE FIRE"


 Dakota City, Midwestern USA

DMZ flies towards Holocaust to attack as Holocaust turns around and fires two blast at DMZ. Who dodges both blasts easily and manages to catch Holly with an uppercut sending him hurling into the nearby building. Holocaust braces the walls impact and begins to fire @ DMZ who once again avoids the blast but not a punch from Holly putting DMZ on a one way trip to the concrete. Boogie attempted to catch the falling hero but struggles with the momentum. Fade, seeing that Flashback is still a little shaken from being Holocaust hostage, attends to the needs of his sister. Fade as well as Boogie informs the other Syndicate members about the villains apparent upgrade. The team with Dogg, prepares to stop Holly as he flies towards the 10th Avenue Bridge. Dogg with his heighten senses smells the villain scent minutes before he’s in sight. Dogg tell Aqua Maria to splash him…"splash him good.". Holly see the huge wave coming towards him but is unable to avoid it. The water blast douses Holocaust; knocks him out of flight, and onto the bridge. Holly burns himself dry and smiles as he see members of the Syndicate approach him.


Holocaust: So it’s like that now? A man can’t peacefully fly over his hometown without getting ambushed?!? Trust me when I tell you this..That sh*t wouldn’t go down in Metropolis.


Dogg: U kidnapped one of our own and threaten to kill us. What the f**k you thought we were going to do?!


Holocaust: I don’t know anymore. I remember the Syndicate being the most feared and dangerous beings alive. I took this gang and made them into the top criminal organization in all of Dakota. Hell...in the whole mid-west. Now you’re suppose to be...Heroes...fighting for justice?!? Get the F**k out of here with that.


Third: Grow the hell up Holly and cut the crap. We do sh*t our way and we don’t mind playing the hero role.


Holocaust: Haha. Wise sure have made you guys soft.


Kwai: This is the evolution of the Blood Syndicate.


Holly laugh after Kwai's comment, looks her in the face, makes eye contact and says: "No B*tch!! This right here is evolution." Holly begins to change into a man made of fire and yells: "This is the Evolution of Holocaust Muthaf**kers!" Hahaha." Aqua tries to douse Holly again but he burns to the point that he begins to make her evaporate.


Aqua: ARGHH!!


Holly: Ha-ha. Too Hot for you?!?


Third: OK. That’s enough of that.


Third jumps at Holly who begins to shoot pyro blasts at Third, who absorbs the blast on impact and grows in size while getting burned in the process. Kwai attacks Holly by the feet knocking him over as a Giant sized Third begins to punch him repeatedly. Dogg begins to bark when he smells the other members scent. As Third continues to punch Holly, Holly begins to then grow into a giant flame as he absorbs the heat being generated by the kinetic energy. Holly grabs hold of Third and begins to return punches that have Third screaming in agony. Kwai kicks Holly off of Third and begins to attack Holly with a series of moves blocking all his blast with her staff back into him.


Holly is then punched off the bridge and into the river by Third. Aqua Maria attempts to freeze the river with Holly in it but he quickly recovers and burns Aqua making her boil. Holly takes control of Aqua body being that it’s hot water and projects it at Third and Kwai knocking them both off the bridge and into the river. They’re then saved by Flashback who warns Third and Kwai to “Duck” as the wave of boiling water goes over them. Holly surprised that Flashback survived that booby trap, doesn’t notice DMZ flying fast towards him as he gets tackled while still in the sky.


The two begin to go blow for blow in the air, Fade attacks Holly too but to no affect. Fade then attempts to solidify his hand into Hollys chest but can’t take the heat. Oro shows up and blast Holly onto the floor by Kwai. The solar blast had little affect on Holocaust who quickly recovers from it and begins to fight with Kwai and Dmz whom he knocks into Flash which renders her unconscious. Aqua is no help as she is still recovering from being boiled by Holly. With Flashback out of conscious, Fade begins to weaken as well. DMz grabs and throw Holly into the hands of Brick House who smashes Holly into the ground. Holly breaks from beneath her hands, flies towards her face, and punches the sh*t out of Brick House.


While Dmz and Kwai attempts to catch the falling Brick, Oro fires another solar blast at Holly but misses. Holly then shoots Third into an abandon building and then blasts the building down on Third. It is then…that he sees Wise Son standing below. Holly still remembers the battle with Wise in which; if not for his ability to turn to living flame and become whole again,he would have died. As Holly flies towards Wise, he’s blasted by Oro. Unfortunately Oro’s powers which are based on solar energy, which is basically from the sun, which is basically a big@ss ball of Fire, and when you think about it Holocaust is basically a man of Fire. Soooo there may be a conflict of interest here.


Oro: What the Hell?! My blasts aren’t doing sh*t to him.


Dogg: Hmm...He’s immune to the heat.


Oro: Oh really let’s see about that.


Oro attempts another blast which Holly controls and redirects back to him. Holly is then attacked by the non-bang babies’ tandem of Kwai & DMZ who fights Holly in the sky. Holly seems to be more powerful as the blows have little affect on him.


Kwai: You will not survive this battle monster. The Syndicate will prevail.


Holly looks at her, laughs, grabs her by the legs and throws her into DMz. The two fall onto the floor. As they attempt to fly back up to fight him again, Wise tells them to “Wait.”. Holly watches from the sky as Wise is joined by Third Rail, Brick (who helped Third get from under the building),Boogie, Kwai, Oro, and DMZ. Aqua is still recovering from Holocaust attack, Dogg is trying to wake up Flash, and Fade is going in and out of existence (time).


Wise: I was really hoping I would never have to see your punk@ss again Leo.


Holly: Trust. After today you will never see me or anything else again.


Wise: Come and say it to my face…p*ssy.


Holly: Oh I will, As soon as I finish draining more heat from the sun. Hmm… six against one?! I like them odds. Thou it's hardly fair…for you guys that is. Hahaha.


Holly flies towards the team firing a series of pyro shots. As the Syndicate scatters, Oro flies toward Wise-Son, grabs him, and flies away leaving his teammates on the battle field. Wise is understandably upset and ask Oro: "What the Hell are you doing man ?!?" Who looks down at Wise and confidently states "Don't worry about a thing Wise. I got a plan."..
