I understand that you think that it's unlikely, but it's still possible, and the fact that he was using his powers so adeptly in the trailers makes me think that he had some practice with them before he went into stasis. And from the trailers, it seems that the bad guys were keeping him and the other meta-teens in stasis until they were rescued by the Team. Besides, to me at least, Static not getting his powers from the Big Bang would be like Spider-Man not getting his powers from a spider bite. Now, I know that Beast Boy had his origins changed for the show, but Static is a very prominent Milestone character and I think it would be a big disrespect to Dwayne McDuffie if Rocket and Icon's origins were kept intact for this show, but Static's origins weren't.
