Tired of his father's treatment of him, Edwin Jr. decides to use his father's materials to become a Bang Baby. There is some exposition via a prerecorded message about it being Quantum Vapor, but Edwin is confident he can predict it. Using the capsules, he can temporarily gain a superpower. Above, he's briefly gained super strength.
Omnifarious decides to target an Alva Industries cargo ship first, wanting to destroy the company so his father will pay attention to him instead.
Upon his arrival, Static tries to prevent the ship from sinking. When that fails, he quickly refocuses on getting the employees to shore. Static is not amused by the new supervillain, between him explaining his alias' meaning and the threat to the people. There's also a remark about how Latin is an elective in public schools.
Partway through the fight, Static recognizes him. So Omnifarious uses a capsule to gain x-ray vision and learn Static's face even if he doesn't (yet) know his identity.
Matters continue to be tense at both the Alva and Hawkins households. In between targeting his father's ships, Omnifarious figures out Static's secret identity and calls the Hawkins household to threaten him into staying out of his way.
I'm not sure if Virgil is being flippant about the possibility that Sharon wants a call from Reginald (who he thought the call was originally was from) or if this episode was originally meant to air prior to the events of "Bent Out of Shape". Although everything about it being a landline with call waiting really does highlight this show was made at the turn of the millennium. All three teens are using cordless phones, though.
Richie tries to upgrade Static's mask, but Virgil points out that aluminum foil won't stop x-ray vision and that it's a bit late to be trying to prevent Omnifarious from learning his secret identity. While it could be helpful to find a way to prevent others from doing so, I completely get why Virgil doesn't want lead on his face.
Virgil decides that he'll be the one to tell their fathers about both of their superpowered activities, so that night he interrupts Edwin Alva Sr.'s sleep to let him know Omnifarious' secret identity, telling him to look at his labs if he doesn't believe him before leaving.
