Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any way, using the rules as written, to make a single-target dispel ability from Static without using Area-Effect and Selective Area - that's pretty pricey, particularly if you're tacking on Ranged as well to be able to dispel at a distance.

And all of this is without moving away from the raw.

However, I feel it's rather more expensive that strictly justified. When building a dispel power, I wanted several things:
a) A resistable advantage - I dislike automatic dispels, they're hard on players.
b) An advantage capable of targeting others - that way, you don't have to pay for a further enhancement to make it capable of affecting other targets.
c) An advantage with a duration - paying extra to make the cancelation effect last longer is also annoying.
For these reasons, Neutralize was a better choice for my purposes than Static.
