Who is Static's biggest villian?


I definitely think it's Hotstreak but after that I can't think of anyone that stands out from the tv show or the coimc books. Any thoughts.

Hotstreak was the biggest for the beginning. But then his greatest foe was Rubberbandman and that shadowy guy. He was just weird. Hotstreak just got lamer throughout the series.

I think it's a tie between Hotstreak and Ebon

since ebon was the leader of the meta-breed, i'd have to go with him. then there was alva and/or specs and trapper. they showed up often enough to make trouble for static that they count i think.

Ebon had the power(and statics opposite by being darkness) and was intelligent enough to match static. Hotstreak was just a thug who could throw fire.

I still pick Hotstreak simply because of the history he and Virgil/Static had with each other. Ebon never really had Static on the ropes the way that Hotstreak did.

Here I am, stuck in the middle with you!

I think Static has a Spider-Man-esqe rouges gallery, where it's kind of hardd to pick the biggest villian.

Still if I had to pick it would be Hotstreak. He picked on Virgil from the beginning and speaking as someone who has gotten bullied, I think Virgil won't forget that.

Man! Talking about this really makes me miss this series! I wish the whole series was out on DVD!

Ebon was Static's nemesis because he had the smarts to match him. It was the whole "light vs. dark" situation. He reallly gave Static a serious final battle at the docks in the series finale once he fused with Hotstreak. He was the master planner behind getting the remaining gas so he could use it as leverage to control all the gangs in Dakota. Static was the one who gave Ebon the biggest problem when it came to him trying to take over the city, so it makes sense that while Hotstreak was Virgil's arch nemesis, it was Ebon who was "Lucifer" to Static's "God". Anyone agree?
P.S. Any ideas on a live-action/3-D Static movie?

Yeah Ebon was the biggest villain Static faced

Seems like it would be Ebon. He seems very close to X-Men's Magneto. What better way to strike back at society of being outcasted than menacing it. The guy manage to frame his own brother. He manage to gather up a number of outcasted bang babies, and has succeeded as being a successful leader.
Hotstreak is a minacious maniac but he's to hotheaded to be anything more than that. Just a super power thug.
