Hey, I can't believe he ditched me.

- Where are you? - 'Wouldn't you like to know?'
[dramatic music]
Ah-ha!
- Alright, I give. - 'Peekaboo.'
Aah!
(Richie) Oh, no! Don't!
He's a scouting robot.
I can control him with this.
I can see whatever he sees.
'And I can broadcast my voice through him.'
Uh, yeah. I figured that part out by myself.
I call him Backpack.
Backpack?
Backpack, heel!
[chuckling] Cool.
I wonder if I can get my pops to spring for one.
I didn't buy it. I made it.
Get out!
Oh, on the other hand, you have been on kind
of an inventing tear lately.
- Look at this place. - I know.
I got so many ideas. It's like my brain's on fire.
[sniffs] I thought it smelled smoky.
I improved the range of the tracers
and I figured out how to make your flying disk
fold up smaller.
- What do these do? - Aah!
Zap caps, the next generation. Ha ha!
It's a Bang Baby restraint device.
[grunting]
Well, they work.
[device beeping]
What's with the police scanner?
I programmed it to do that if it picked up
the word "Metahuman."

Yeah? Well, how would you feel

(Virgil on phone) 'Why was he messing with you, anyway?'
He must've wanted to use me to get to you again.
You want me to sneak over and hang out?
No, I'm cool. I got Backpack on lookout mode.
And I also brought a bunch of new zap caps home with me.
- Just in case Ebon.. Hey! - What?

No way anybody would look for us

Spent a lot of time here back in the day.
We were inmates then.
Now we run the place.
I always ran the place.
Anything wrong?
Yeah. That kid.
His name was Foley.
Every time I see him, Static's right there.
I shouldn't have let him slip away the first time.
So let's find him.
Just what I was thinkin'.
Start with the high school closest to the jail.
Dakota Union High?
Whatever. Just find him.
I want us on that kid like a shadow.

And today we're going to learn about

'But first I have a little problem for you.'
- Richie? - Uh-huh.
What you working on?
Well, I was fixing my rollerblades last night
while watching the Military Channel special on Harrier jets
you know, the ones that can make vertical take-offs
and landings and I was thinking, wouldn't it be super cool
to integrate that technology into my skates?
Okay.
Alright. Now the first step in solving this..
'Uh, Mr. Foley.'
Mr. Foley.
[sternly] Mr. Foley?
- Huh? - The problem?
Four over pi.
Perhaps, Mr. Foley, if you paid atten..
- What? - The answer is 4 over pi.
Y-yes, but, how did you know?
Lucky guess.
Come on, Richie, how did you know?
Beats me.
Sometimes your head figures out stuff
when you don't even know it's doing it.
Paper clip.
Circuit board.
Opticon scolometer.
Opticon what?-what?
Ah, just clowning ya. We're all done.
- Done? With what? - Jet blades.
Whoo-hoo!
Let's see what they can really do.
Uh, Richie?
[screaming]
(both) Whoa!
[zapping]
[gasping]
Richie, this is too much.
You're right. The rear boosters must be overpowered.
No, man, not the skates. You!
What do you mean?
The robot, the zap caps. All this stuff.
I mean, all of a sudden, you're braniac the maniac.
So, I'm a little smarter than most people.
- What's the big deal? - "A little?"
The department of defense couldn't think up
most of this stuff.
Well, they don't have to.
I already thought it up for 'em.
Focus, Richie.
Remember when you said your head felt like it was on fire?
Well, maybe you were right 'cause something's
really cookin' up there.
I do feel different lately.
I think faster, a lot faster.
Sometimes I can't stop thinking.
Sometimes it's like my thoughts are thinking thoughts.
See? I just thought that. It's like
ideas are exploding in my head.
Does it look bigger? It does, doesn't it?
Cranial perimeter is definitely expanding.
- Oh, no! - You look fine.
Fine? I'm having some kind of strain on the brain breakdown.
I could be going crazy. I..
Rich! You know what I think?
I think maybe you're becoming a Bang Baby.
[instrumental music]
That doesn't make any sense.
- Why am I changing now? - I don't know.
Late bloomer maybe, I mean, other bangers
had delayed reactions.
But I wasn't even at the Big Bang.
Yeah, but you were with me right after I got gassed.
And my clothes reeked of the stuff.
Maybe that's how you got infected
and it's been dormant in you all this time.
What do you think?
It's as good a theory as we got right now.

When he's not at school, he mostly hangs around
comic shops and an old gas station.
That's his running buddy, Virgil Hawkins.
Hair style look familiar?
Lot of dawgs wear their hair that way.
Not a lot of dawgs who hang out with Foley.
He's about the right size.
You think this guy could be Static?
Let's find out for sure.
- Hey, Virg. - Hey, Daise.
Listen, do you think Richie would tutor me in chemistry?
What about me? I'm the chemistry kid.
Yeah, but you didn't ace the final like Richie.
He did? Sweet!
You'd think.
But he didn't seem very happy about it.
Yo, bro. What's that?
Plans for a particle accelerator?
[sighs] Yeah.
I was kiddin'. Hey, man, why so down?
Isn't it fun being a super brain?
I guess. It's just..
