Static is a fictional comic book hero created and owned by writer-artist Steve Ditko.

The series was collected by Robin Snyder as the two-volume Steve Ditko's Static in 1988 and 1989, later merged as a single volume in 2000.

They together create a powered armor that Stac must use to defend the innocent as Static, battling various super-villains such as the Polluter and the Exploder.

The main conflict comes from the perceived danger of the suit itself, and Serch's daughter Fera fears for Stac and makes him promise not to use it again.

Rae must battle with the ethical choice of keeping his promise to Fera or defending the innocent.
