Read more about Gear at: Wikipedia Official Site: Warner Bros. Gear (real name Richard "Richie" Osgood Foley) is a fictional character in the animated series Static Shock. He is the best friend and confidant of Virgil Hawkins. He was the first person to learn of Virgil's powers, and the one to suggest that Virgil should become a superhero. Richard "Richie" Foley/Gear was voiced by Jason Marsden. Richie Foley did not appear in the Milestone comic book "Static", but is based on two of Virgil's best friends, Frieda and Rick. Superficially, Richard "Richie" Foley is identical to Richard "Rick" Stone, who had very long blond hair and a similar first name. Richie also takes on the role of Freida, becoming Virgil's best friend and being privy to the secret of his powers. In the comic series, Rick Stone played an important role in the arc "Between a Rick and a Hard Place", when he comes out as gay and subsequently deals with homophobic slurs and attacks.
