Ebon represents the "crabs in a bucket" mentality of the inner city - dragging others down to compensate for his own sense of hopelessness. He is (literally) the darkness that swallows people the moment they become vulnerable.

Couldn't have said it better myself! Yeah, in a few episodes, they mention that too. Something like "you're nothing without your powers" I think? I think Talon and Hotstreak both said it to him in the last episode. The only time he didn't have his shadowy look too!

Not really. Magneto, even as a villain, did what he did for what he believed was the benefit of mutant kind. He deeply cared for the mutants he recruited and hated fighting "one of his own" because, in his mind, humans were the real enemy. Meanwhile, Ebon only gives a damn about himself. Even before he had powers, all he wanted was to make it big in crime. Anyone he recruits are only there to help make his name known as someone to be feared. He wasn't even above framing his own brother (who was trying to change his ways). Without his powers or his crew, Ebon goes back to being what he fears most: a talentless nobody.
@seinenwax94jr93 жыл бұрын
@@megamarsonic Very good points. For me that's where the comparisons stop. But I think like Magneto is portrayed a lot in movies, he's like the final boss of Static Shock. What makes him deadlier is like Magneto, his recruits are down for anything for his cause. I will still stand by my statement of a "street smart" version of him just because to strive in that environment not by leaving it, making it big by being a selfish snake is the way to go. Think about street gangs. They recruit people from broken homes and kids who just want to belong.(Pretty similar to the mutants in X-Men who's parents thought they were abominations or just weren't around that long before Xavier or Magneto approached them) The O.G's were just like them when they were kids so it's easy for them to use the recruits. I feel if Magneto's origin story involved him being from the streets, he would do many things Ebon did.

Man, when Ebon's with Adam, you see he's ALSO a victim of the streets, but one who might be too far gone to save. But at the same time, maybe he couldn't ever be saved at all. He's selfish, he enjoys the violence and the intimidation factor, he expects loyalty from everyone without giving much in return, and with powers he is now unchecked. Ebon was a fantastic villain, one who broke the mold.

It's interesting to see the crux of Ebon's character when you ask a simple question: "What are you without your powers?" Ebon--Ivan Evans--is a nobody without his Metahuman abilities. He doesn't want to go back to being a normal, nobody. He stocks all that he is in his power and the influence gained from having those powers. Take that away, and what does Ebon have? It may be cliché to quote Tony Stark, but if Ivan sees himself as nothing without his powers, it's proof that he shouldn't have them.

Agreed. The first movie's post-credit scene can have Talon and Shiv watching footage of Static stopping the main villain of part 1. They begin talking about how Static could be a big problem if they don't eliminate him right away. Then you hear a voice from the shadows say "Now hold on. Maybe we can convince him to join us. Make the Meta-Breed stronger. We just have to make sure he sees things... our way." As soon as he finishes that sentence, two glowing, menacing white eyes open up in the shadows. Cut to black.
