manipulate subatomic particles, in particular electrons. In at least one instance, he has used this ability to knock out a villain with their own electrons. In another instance, Static made an intangible enemy tangible. Along with releasing surges of electromagnetic energy, which he can do from any part of his body, Static can also drain sources of electricity, such as power lines, batteries and fuse boxes to recharge/replenish his own energy. He has also displayed the ability to regenerate his powers after being completely drained by energy-draining villains. Whenever Static has used his powers to a high degree, or experiences other such significant energy drains, he will also experience a sudden, acute sense of fatigue, as his electromagnetic powers are tied to his own bioelectric energy levels. In the Static Shock episode "Aftershock", an analysis of his blood shows that Static's electrolytes/blood-salt levels are higher than normal, highlighting that Static needs higher blood-salt levels to support the use of his powers, but the higher sodium levels seem to have no effect on his health. Static can also use a form electroreception to sense sources of electromagnetic energy, enabling him to tell if a seemingly abandoned area is actually hot or not and if metal objects are present. Static also possesses a form of technokinesis that allows him to manipulate electronics' electrical signals, such as turning them on or off, connecting multiple electronic devices, hear radio waves, tap into phone lines, mimic other electronic devices, and detonate them. In both the animated series and comic book, he is shown using his powers like an electric arc, which allows him to create plasma and mimicking blowtorches or plasma torches to cut and weld metal together. In Static Shock, Static's powers grant him resistance or immunity to forms of mind control since the human brain is an electromagnetic organ. In the episode "Attack of the Living Brain Puppets", his best friend Richie Foley speculates that Static is immune to Madelyn Spaulding's psionic powers because his bioelectric field grants his brainwaves electromagnetic shielding. This ability would save Static again in the two-part episode "A League of Their Own", when one of Brainiac's mind control devices shorts out within seconds of being placed on Static. This ability was adapted into the comic book mythos, with Miss Martian being unable to track him and Static proving immune to Darkseid's Anti-Life Equation. Static has repeatedly displayed the
