Dakota City breathes corruption. Corporations harvest the poor for experiments, cyber-mercs police the streets, and neon rain washes away the blood. The Big Bang should have killed Virgil Hawkins. Instead, it transformed him into Static, a weapon of unrelenting electric fury. He begins as a symbol of resistance, striking down syndicates and tearing apart corporate war machines. But he isn’t alone. Hundreds of metahuman misfits now stalk the streets, fueling endless gang wars that drown the city in blood and fire. Justice rots into obsession, and soon Virgil’s war leaves nothing but smoking ruins and mass graves. The boy who wanted to be a hero becomes the city’s executioner, the final light flickering in the storm. In a world already broken, maybe the only way forward is to let it all burn.
