Technically, Static is a Milestone character. Milestone Media's comics were published by DC, but that doesn't make him a DC character. They didn't merge; Milestone Comics had always been a part of DC Comics, even though its stories took place outside the DC Universe. The universes were merged after Infinite Crisis.

You're not completely incorrect on Static being a Marvel character; Marvel is also the name of several of their characters. Just like there was a Static published by Charlton Comics.
