Talk:Gear (Static Shock)

Richie and Virgil
Does anyone know how long Richie and Virgil have been friends?:

In Aftershock, right before Richie, Virgil and Freida learn that F-Stop is a Bang-Baby, Richie comments: "He's certifiable!" and Frieda respondes: "We knew that back in second grade."

This would indicate that Richie and Virgil and Freida have known each other at least since second grade.

But later it's implied Richie never knew Virgil's mother, who died five years before the series.

Richie's sexuality
Where is the interview where it says Richie isn't gay located? Because Dwayne McDuffie has said in the forums (here: http://forums.delphiforums.com/n/main.asp?webtag=Milestone&nav=messages&msg=425.232&prettyurl=%2FMilestone%2Fmessages%3Fmsg%3D425%2E232) that he is gay. I know forums aren't as reliable a source as an actual interview, though, so if the interview can be found, I'm sure it's more accurate.

I don't know about the backing for this, but I'm aware of this much: Dwayne McDuffie considers Richie to be gay. The rest of the show's producers do not. The interview in this article refers to the rest of the producers, while McDuffie himself has an opposing view. Gear-Richie (talk) 02:49, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Richie's full name?
Does anyone know where in the series it's revealed that his full name is Richard Osgood Foley? I'm rewatching all of the episodes right now and I'm up to #29 but there hasn't been any mention of it. However, there is another character in the series named Jimmy Osgood, and I'm wondering if maybe there was some sort of mix-up. Does anyone know? 70.139.76.145 (talk) 07:10, 17 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Now, it was a long time ago, so there's always a chance I'm not recalling this correctly, but I think Richie did say to Jimmy at one point of that same episode that the latter's last name is also the former's middle name. Don't quote me on that, in case I'm wrong. --DanMat6288 (talk) 04:39, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
