About
Hello! I'm Richie Folley, it's a pleasure to meet you
smile My best friend is Virgil Hawkins, the notorious super hero, Static Shock! But many people don't know that, which is a good thing for the both of us. What I mean is, if people knew of his secret identity, he could not live both lives, one as the widely popular superhero and the other as the goofy teenager that he is. I'm confident that everything will be fine, for after all, I'm his sidekick, Gear. I don't have special powers like Virgil has but I've built a robotic backpack that helps me to fly and rocket-like roller skates that I can skate around on. I've also created shock boxes, so that we can talk to each other on missions. As a special bonus, I pack a dozen of my shock caps in V's cape, just as a precautionary weapon just incase he runs out of juice. I'm also the repair man but I don't mind. I have a knack for technology anyways, so it's always fun to tear apart equipment and invent something completely different from the pieces of metal scraps I can find in the junk yard next to our headquarters.
In our spare time, Virgil and I play videos games, eat pizza, listen to music and do other stuff. I love to hang out at Virg's house and just crash on their couch infront of the tv with a big bucket of popcorn. It's also pretty fun to mess with Sharon, Virgil's older sister. She's some what of a pain and can't cook for beans but I love her anyways, she's like the big sister I've never had. Besides hanging out downtown or at each other's houses, me and Virigl also go to the park or help out at the community center run by Mr. Hawkins. I feel so great being there; playing basketball or helping the students with their homework. I also volunteer at the church sometimes, normally when I'm dragged along with Virgil and his family. Sometimes I don't want to go but in the end, it's enjoyable and I'm glad I can make a difference in this world. It's a pleasure because it gives me hope that I can maintain my humanity, by being able to make the world a better place even though I'm just a normal kid with no special abilities. It shows that even though you might not be a super hero, you can always do something spectacular and end up being pretty super.
