Jefferson Pierce (Earth-8920)

"‎I don't know if you've ever let someone down, got your ass kicked or straight up failed. But those are the moments that define us. They push you further than you've ever thought possible, and force you to make choices. No matter what the cost."

Jefferson Hawkins "Jeff" Pierce is a former scientist at S.T.AR. Labs at Empire City who worked on the Particle Accelator program alongside Doctor Edward Thawne. However, what was a scientific breakthrough eventually became a nightmare when the accelerate exploded, starting the Big Bang Incident which not only left the west side of city in ruins, but gave birth to numerous Metahumans. Jeff was one of the its victims, finding he was able to control electricity. Unwillingly becoming a hero, Pierce became known as Static Shock, and was one of the founding Ultimates.
