10 Best Static Shock Episodes

10. Where The Rubber Meets The Road

Static Shock was known for being aimed at much younger kids than most of the other DC animated shows of the time. So it was more likely to get educational. Static went one step further, imparting lessons on things that most other kids shows were too scared to discuss.

Case in point, Where The Rubber Meets The Road. In this episode, we learn that Static's enemy turned ally Rubberband Man is dyslexic. For most kids watching this show, this was the very first time we learned what dyslexia was and how it can inhibit those affected by it.

The episode is respectful towards the subject matter and the audience. We're shown in a very clever and natural way how Rubberband Man's dyslexia affects his life, such as him never opening his fan mail and having little to no reading material in his home. But it also shows clearly how one lives with dyslexia, and that it can be overcome through practice and classes.

A very well thought out episode touching on subjects none of its peers thought to tackle. A trend you can expect to repeat throughout this list.
