She was broken out of jail by Ebon, but Static stopped her using electrolysis. Aquamaria later teamed up with Hot-Streak, but was frozen by Static and Gear.

After both of their parents died and they were taken in by their grandmother, brother and sister, Boom and Mirage, were exposed to a spill of the Big Bang gas. Boom was able to generate large amounts of sound waves from a loudspeaker on his chest, causing massive amounts of damage. Mirage's powers are of illusion casting. While it's implied that Boom's aggressive personality was affected by the Big Bang (Mirage tells Static that her brother never acted like that before), Mirage keeps her own personality and becomes increasingly disturbed by Boom's actions. She finally helps Static trap her brother and creates an illusion of Static flying away (to mislead Sharon, who was starting to suspect that Virgil and Static were the same person).

Jealous of the success and fame of his football career, Chainlink threatened Dule into giving him 90% of all his earnings. After Dule attempted to kill Chainlink, but failed, the two had a finale showdown at the football stadium, where Chainlink was eventually defeated and taken away by the police.

Static eventually discovers what’s going on and tells Dwayne to stop listening to his brother. After not believing what Static is saying, Static plays a tape of himself (as Virgil) and Aron talking.

Ebon

* Voice Actor: Gary Sturgis

Biography

The head of a group of Bang Babies including Shiv and Talon, Ebon is a transmorph; a living shadow and inter-dimentional portal able to hide and become one shadows, as well as transport others to locations of his choice.

When Dr. Todd’s Bang Baby cure was transforming them back into humans, Ebon staged a plan to get the last vial of Bang Baby gas and stage another "Big Bang"," one that would potentially create more Bang Babies than the first one.

Ebon and Hotstreak fought over the final vial of gas and eventually became one giant bang baby—throwing shadows and fire all over Dakota’s docks. With Static and Gear being the only two remaining Bang Babies, they were able to take down Ebon and Hot-Streak—but whether they’re still lurking somewhere in Dakota’s waters is unknown.

Madelyn was later released from the hospital, but wasn't allowed back in school so she was forced to work at a comic book store. She was only able to remember a few moments from her encounter with Static. But with the loss of her original powers Madelyn gained new powers that enabled her to move things with her mind, which were triggered from her anger caused by thinking Virgil and Richie were laughing at her.

Jump can practically jump through space instantly - an ability preferably referred to as teleportation. And Push can generate purple energy (usually from the hands) to fend or blast away objects (hence the name); Push can also use this power defensively by generating a protective sphere around himself, capable of holding outside forces at bay, at least for as long as he still has power in him. He could also use his powers to exercise a form of levitation where he channels his power to the ground to act as propulsion, propelling him high into the air.

“Push” is really Richie Foley, friend of Static. When Ragtag gave him his powers, he wouldn’t tell Static where they came from; but when Richie was forced to steal for Ragtag, he turned on Run and Jump and sounded the alarm. Static showed up and together they took Run and Jump down.
