** While Static does have a mask, his rather noticeable hairstyle is not covered up by his attire. While this wouldn't normally be an issue, he says things (particularly in the early installments) that, combined with the visible similarities between him and Virgil, would probably give away his identity to anyone paying attention but no one calls him out on it despite that.
** At one point, Ebon sees Virgil outside his costume. Talon points out that they have [[LampshadeHanging similar hairstyles]]. Ebon replies that [[HandWave lots of kids have that hairstyle]].

However, when Ebon initially sees Virgil outside his costume. Talon points out costume, Ebon waves off Talon's remark that they Virgil and Static have [[LampshadeHanging similar hairstyles]]. Ebon replies that the same hair by stating [[HandWave lots of kids have that hairstyle]].hairstyle]]. It's only when Talon points out that Virgil is the only person with that hair that associates with Richie, a known associate of Static's, that Ebon begins taking investigating Virgil seriously.

** In "Now You See Him...", a villain named Speedwrap, who can travel through hyper time, then unmasks Gear and recognizes him as Richie Foley, he deduces that Static is Virgil Hawkins due the fact the former is best friends with the latter, and threatens to reveal their identities if they continue to get in his way. Fortunately, Speedwarp's current condition at the end of the episode, where he is left moving at slower than normal pace, [[DeathBySecretIdentity stop him from revealing their identities]].

* DeducingTheSecretIdentity:
** In "Brother-Sister Act", Sharon recognizes her brother's mannerisms and hairstyle during a television interview with Static and starts to deduce that they might be the same person. It takes an IdentityImpersonator to throw her off track.
** {{Parodied|Trope}} in "Hard as Nails", after Batman calls Static "Virgil".
--->'''Static:''' You know? I guess you really ''are'' the world's greatest detective!\\
'''Batman:''' ''[hands Static his student ID card]'' It fell out of your pocket. You probably shouldn't carry that while you're in uniform.\\
'''Static:''' ''[embarrassed]'' Uh, right.
*** At the end of the episode, when Virgil meets up with Bruce Wayne, he remembers seeing Alfred in the Batcave, though Bruce suggests he meant this to be a hint.
** In "Gear", Ebon recognizes that where [[SecretKeeper Richie Foley]] is, Static tends to show up. This leads Ebon and his crew to look at whom Richie runs with at school and notice his best friend Virgil wears his hair similarly to Static's. They kidnap Virgil in the hopes that they can get him to reveal his powers. However, Richie manages to save Virgil and uses CameraSpoofing to trick the crew into thinking Virgil is still imprisoned when Static shows up, keeping the secret from being revealed for real.
** In "Kidnapped", Robert easily figures out that his son Virgil is Static, as he points out the obvious logic in why someone would go through the trouble of abducting social worker Robert as leverage against Static. He further admits that, deep down, he always subconsciously knew the truth, but was in denial. From there, he deduces Gear must be Richie and asks Virgil if that's the case. While Richie is quick deny to this, Virgil confirms his deduction.

* AnAesop: One episode, "Jimmy", focuses around the title character, who's being bullied and brings a gun to school in a misguided effort to defend himself, though Richie tries to talk him down, Jimmy is unfortunately charged by two of the bullies, and Richie ends up being accidentally shot and wounded in the leg. After the episode ends, Virgil narrates a PSA about gun safety, especially with regards to not bringing them to school. The kicker? It begins with the aforementioned bullied kid being led out of the school gym (where the climactic scene took place) in handcuffs by police. Much of the first season had these. The troubles and realities of runaways and the homeless, the dangers of gang activities, and dealing with the loss of loved ones among other things.

* RewatchBonus: Ritchie's growth to becoming "Gear" can be seen throughout the first two seasons, starting from Virgil noticing how their blood looks the same under a microscope ''from the second episode'', him tring to fight against a Bang Baby using makeshift weapons, and how he was capable of making all of Static's tech despite having limited resources.

* AdaptationalBadass: This continuity's Rubberband Man is considerably more formidable than his original Milestone Comics counterpart, who was such a wuss that Static quickly beat him in their first encounter ''just by making an insulting joke'' and he didn't fare much better in his second battle with the young hero when he teamed up with Static's other enemies the Sinister Botanist, the Swarm, Prometheus, Jump and Dr. Kilgore.
