Static Shock was an animated series that revived several Milestone Media characters. Originally set in its own universe, it was absorbed into the DCAU after Season Two. The series proved pivotal in the introduction of many Dakotaverse characters into the Mainstream Continuity; Static's current costume is based on his Season 4 digs rather than any of his costumes from Static. The series itself delved little into known Dakotaverse; other than Static and Hotstreak, all characters were changed in appearance, name and/or nature, and many new Bang Babies were introduced.
