Static Shock - Gear's Gadgets

Gear's Gadgets

  • Static Saucer - A small piece of mylar that folds out to become a disk that Static rides on to fly through town.
  • Rocket Boots - Gear uses these boots as his method of transportation through town, like how Static uses his disc.
  • Shock Box - Walkie Talkies used between Virgil/Static and Richie/Gear to contact each other. The Shock boxes have been used also as voice recorders and as intercoms. In the episode "Future Shock," Static learns that Gear made a newer model that has holographic projection, and can store holographic video recordings.
  • Tracking devices - Static can attach these to people and track them as long as he is within a 2-mile radius.
  • Zap Caps, 1st Edition - Small grenades that, after being charged by Static, can create an explosion of electricity when thrown.
  • Zap Caps, 2nd Edition - Similar in appearance to the 1st edition, this version releases metal coils that wrap around the target on impact.
  • Other Zap Caps - These zap caps were specifically designed for certain meta-humans that Static and Gear have dealt with. Some had been used on Hot Streak and Aquamaria. One was used to give Aquamaria an antidote to turn her back to normal.
  • Backpack - Richie's/Gear's robot. Backpack is a super-computer, with a camera & tracking device, as well as a meta-human radar. Although Backpack can be controlled with a remote, it is linked with Gear, as it is Gear's intelligence and thoughts it can read and respond to.
  • Time belt - A belt created for Nina Crocker, who became a hero named Time-Zone. Unable to fully control her time-controlling/traveling abilities and powers, Gear created the belt to make sure that her ability would not randomly go off. Using a special remote that Gear programmed (originally a VCR remote,) the time of when to travel can be chosen, allowing much greater control over her time-controlling ability.

Famous quotes containing the words gear and/or gadgets:

    But Lord, remember me and mine
    Wi’ mercies temporal and divine!
    That I for grace and gear may shine,
    Excelled by nane!
    And a’ the glory shall be thine!
    Amen! Amen!
    Robert Burns (1759–1796)

    Modern man, if he dared to be articulate about his concept of heaven, would describe a vision which would look like the biggest department store in the world, showing new things and gadgets, and himself having plenty of money with which to buy them. He would wander around open-mouthed in this heaven of gadgets and commodities, provided only that there were ever more and newer things to buy, and perhaps that his neighbors were just a little less privileged than he.
    Erich Fromm (1900–1980)
