Specs and Trapper

Specs and Trapper

Specs and Trapper are two villains Static encounters in Static Shock. They are upperclassmen in the Vanmoor Institude of Science. Patton Oswalt voices Specs and Michael Rosenbaum voices Trapper. In "The New Kid", Specs and Trapper, on the orders of Edwin Alva, tell the students to build an electronic eye to track static electricity; in actuality, they plan to use these devices to track Static down, using a giant robot they control. However, they are defeated.

As a consequence, they seek revenge on Static. On one occasion, Specs and Trapper adopt super-villain personas: Specs becomes Spectral and Trapper becomes Speedtrap. After they capture Static, Alva fires them, because he does not want to capture his enemy. So, Specs and Trapper had a new plan: destroy Edwin Alva's son. At the end, Static saves Alva's son, and Specs and Trapper are both taken to jail.

Sometimes, they work by themselves, as in "Where the Rubber Meets the Road", in which Specs and Trapper pay a Bang-Baby called Tarmack to steal a state-of-the-art fusion engine, which they had stolen from Alva Industries. They planned to hold the city for ransom:

Specs: "The fusion engine that you secured for us, will power our brainchild - The Disaster Matrix."

Trapper: "I named it."

Specs: "’We can use it to channel enormous energies to any section of the city, reducing it to rubble."

Trapper: "Or we can de-rail trains, crack airport runways."

Specs: "We’ll hold all of Dakota for ransom."

Trapper: "We’ll make millions."

They turn on Tarmack out of greed, and in the middle of a fight with Static, Gear and Rubber-Band Man, Tarmack makes off with the fusion engine. In the end, Static and Gear defeat Specs and Trapper by disabling their gadgets, and Rubber-Band Man subdues Tarmack and disables the unstable fusion engine.
