Junior.Edwin Alva Jr., does whatever he can to earn his father's respect, even going so far as to discover a method to control the effects of the Big Bang fluid. However, Alva completely dismisses his son, causing him to become angry and become Omnifarius, (a villain who can control his powers of the gas by having them inserted into bubblewrap bubbles, and breaking them one at a time to get a different power) destroying everything his father holds dear with extremely dangerous and catastrophic results. Static attacks Omnifarius, who recognizes him as Alva's son. Omnifarius, using a bubble to give him X-Ray vision, figures out that Virgil is Static, and threatens to reveal his secret. When he sees him working with his father against him, he becomes angry, and breaks multiple bubbles, causing him to turn to stone.
