Narrative:
I was the captain of the flight. We left the gate at iad. We started taxiing with 1 marshaller and 2 wing walkers under the right wing. A second marshaller appeared, who also began to marshall the plane, but with conflicting hand signals. At that point I stopped the aircraft and requested a single marshaller. The second marshaller left and I began to follow the signal of the remaining marshaller. I continued slowly ahead following the marshaller's instructions until my first officer (not the marshaller) instructed me to stop. I did so immediately. My first officer then informed me we struck a static wick on the DC9 and we shut down the engines and unloaded all the passenger.
