Episode Summary

While saving some workmen, Static and Gear get a little help from a new superhero who calls herself Shebang. Gear wants to recruit her to the team but Static says no. Daisy and Frieda introduce a new girl at school named Shenice. They have a bowling match between the boys and the girls, and thanks to Shenice, the girls are winning. When her parents show up, Shenice misses the strike, and Virgil thinks her parents wanted her to fail. Later, Hotstreak goes on a rampage again, beating Static and Gear. Shebang defeats him with no trouble, however leaves when the news reporters arrive. At home, Shenice's parents tell her she can't be the superhero Shebang, but she tells them she can't be a quiet girl and not use her powers. An agent tracking Shebang trails Static, who leads them to her. They use sleeping gas to knock out Shebang and Static, proceeding to kidnapping Shebang. Static and Gear talk to her parents and learn that they created Shenice in a lab, giving her superhuman abilities. They fell in love with her and decided to escape instead of handing her over. The agency who wanted her made wants her back to clone her. When the agents try to kidnap her parents, Static and Gear stop them and track them down to an airport. Static manages to get on the plane and saves Shenice. At the end, she tells them that her family will be going underground until all the people involved in wanting her made can be found and caught. After that, she hopes to return to Dakota and help them fight crime.moreless

Trivia
ADD TRIVIA
- After Shenice breaks out of the harness, she jumps at the guy with the gun. When she does, she's wearing the fire-proof gloves she used against Hotstreak, although she lost one of them earlier. To make it worse, they vanish after that shot. Edit
- When Shebang throws Hotstreak into the fountain, he lands head-first with his chest pointed towards the ground. When we see him after the splash finishes, he's turned over onto his back. Edit
- Every single showing at the theater was Space Battles. Edit
Notes
ADD NOTES
- Shebang is the only one on Static's team that's not a bang baby. Edit
- Shebang is a reference to Static's sidekick Dusk from the comics. There were several differences in the two characters, such as the fact that Dusk was a murderer on the run, as well as the fact that Dusk was white. Edit
Quotes
ADD QUOTES
- Static: Alright, you've got two cranky super-powered teenagers back here. We've run out of peanuts and there's no in-flight movie. Any thoughts? Pilot: (looking horrified) I'm already heading back. Static: Good thinking. Edit
- Shebang: What? Afraid I'm gonna show you up again, shock jockey? Well, you can relax. Static: I am relaxed. You're the one jumpin' around like a demented cheerleader. Edit
- Daisy: We're all in the same P.E. class. Frieda: In fact, we were talking at the soccer tryouts when your names came up. Virgil: Oh, ok, you twisted my arm. I will coach girls' soccer. Richie: And I'll hand out the towels. Edit
Allusions
ADD ALLUSIONS
- n/a: Shebang
  Shebang's name sounds like a reference to a Ricky Martin song with the title, "She Bangs". Edit
- Gear: Static has left the building. Thank you very much.
  An obvious reference to the late Elvis Presley. Edit
- n/a: "Space Battles: Episode 9"
  The billboard Hotstreak was attacking looked a lot like Star Wars. The title was the first tip-off, but the picture on the board confirms it. Edit
