No, Black Falcon and Static Shock are very similar to eachother with the same color schemes and similar powers.

In fact if you look at the composition of the kids you will see that they were the other characters who were part of the Justice Friends where Static Shock is stepping in for Black Falcon.

Oddly enough Samurai is now a woman.

You mean Black Vulcan and the Super Friends.  :P

But er, eh I don't really think of Static taking the juice can as an indicator of him being portrayed with a criminal personality given their situation prevented them from having any form of money and they were in that "what it takes to survive" state that series with teenagers on the run always seem to have.

It is just a huge step away from his personality in Static Shock where he would have easily understood the point of Star and would have left more to get his life back then because "ohh man these guys are such meanies!".

In fact that is probably what kinda hurts it. They keep talking about how "mean" star is but they never really demonstrate it. In fact by all means their tests are rather simple and lax. The only indication is that their breaks are only 15 minutes long and they have to wake up at 5am.

Something they probably more then could have negotiated, especially since... they can't force them to take the tests and they are only being held there for protection. Protection that they can actually refuse because there is no parent or guardian forcing them there.

Actually that is something... Why didn't they just ban together to refuse the testing? Ohh yes that is right... because forced antagonism.

Honestly British Glenn Beck was right!

 The fact that except for Static all of them were runaways means that they probably don't consider the idea that authority can be reasoned with and are inclined to dislike it in the first place. Also they're teenagers, so I have doubts about their decision making abilities.

They are teens not mental patients.

As well the Runaways mostly did so because their families were abusive (actually... only one of them had an abusive parent, the other just wanted to meet his father who was far away from home, Static was just taking a train/bus, and the Japanese girl has absolutely no backstory or personality whatsoever).

Come to think of it... you are finding more plotholes then I am. Admittingly not on purpose but still.

I thought static shock seemed about right to me.  He just wanted to get back to his family after being abducted and tortured by aliens.

Which frankly brings up the excellent question of: Why couldn't he?

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

Saw the latest episode of Young Justice

It was pretty good but I can't help feeling that they are rushing events to get to where they need to at the end.

I don't know, I guess I was expecting something more grand or subtle.

Anyone else watched Avatar: The Last Airbender or The Legend of Korra? I've seen every episode of the Last Airbender, and all but the last few episodes of the Legend of Korra. Amon has some pretty sweet yet creepy phrases when said in his voice, like

Honestly Avatar has always been fuzzy on what exactly allows people to bend.

The only thing I know about this topic is that people weren't born with the ability to bend. It actually had to be learned.

It begs the question as to why people without bending cannot be initiated into bending.
