It didn't help that in his appearances in Teen Titans, he was occasionally called "Static Shock" (the opening page of #75, for example). Also, every comic that's published since the show is called Static Shock to milk the attention the TV series gave to the character - Static Shock: Rebirth of the Cool, Static Shock Special, and now, as part of the New 52, Static Shock. It's one of those kind of things where people remember the title of the show and think it's the name of the main character. Shazam! is another example, and Justice League Unlimited.
