Ebon (Static Shock)

Ebon (real name Ivan Evans) is a fictional character in the Static Shock animated series. Ebon is probably Static's greatest enemy. He was always serious and continuously tried to get numerous other Bang Babies to join his gang. He has even tried to recruit Static. Ebon is all about control, during the years before the Big-Bang when his father died, Ivan believed himself to now be "The Man of the Family" - when Ivan Evens was in Juvenile Hall he was in charge of his fellow inmates (Ivan knows Talon, Shiv & Kangorr from time spent in Juvenile Hall before the Big-Bang) - and now as leader of the Meta-Breed, Ivan, now Ebon, wants to control the City of Dakota.

Ebon has special umbrakinetic powers, labeling him the "Master of shadows and darkness." is a villain against the title character Static; a mass of living shadow, with the ability to use shadows to his liking: he can slide on wall surfaces, go under doors, through cracks; he can also become an inter-dimensional portal, able to take others with him; he can also make shadow portals to teleport things through (a reference to the Shadow Cabinet's Shadow-slide, which only works in total darkness). Furthermore Ebon's powers are a referance to Obsidian's and Shadow Thief's.

The leader of the Meta-Breed, he has a personal grudge against Static for having foiled so many of his plans. He got his powers from the Bang Baby incident, that gave Static his powers as well. Ebon's real name is Ivan Evans, and he is the older brother of the Rubber-Band Man, aka Adam Evans.

Ebon has been a recurring character on the show since season one, and is the leader of the always-changing Meta-Human group called the Meta-Breed. Ebon is weakened by intense bright light, similar to how Superman is weakened by Kryptonite.

Ebon has also worked with Hot-Streak and with Madelyn Spaulding in She-Back, when she broke Ebon, Talon and Hot-Streak out of jail and announced herself as the new leader of the Meta-Breed.

Ebon has tried to get his brother, the Rubber-Band Man, to join up with the Meta-Breed - going as far as to frame him for a prison-break. Ebon has tried to learn Static's secret identity. He was once able to go back in time to try and cause an earlier, larger Big Bang, which would turn Dakota City's entire population into Meta-Humans. Static, Gear, and Time-Zone thwarted this plan. He later recruited a group of underground Bang-Babies (called the Night-breed) to help him take over the city. This plan was also thwarted when the Night-breed turned on him.

When the cure was spread throughout the city, Ebon stole the last of the Big-Bang gas and used it with Hot-Streak. They then fused together and began causing havoc.
