"Child's Play" is the seventh episode of Static Shock. It first aired on December 3, 2000.
Plot
Dwayne looked up to his step brother, Aron, who just got out of juvenile hall and moved back in with them. Virgil knows Aron hadn't changed his thieving ways, and wished Dwayne didn't admire him so much.
When a water fountain suddenly gave cherry soda, and a video game character came to life, Aron and Virgil figured out that Dwayne was a bang baby. Aron tricked Dwayne into stealing things for him.
After fighting off Dwayne's bad guys as Static, Virgil tricked Aron into saying how he really felt about his little brother, and Dwayne stopped using his powers for his brother's pleasure.
