Jump later resurfaces and appears he has left Capers, Inc. to join Dr. Kilgore‘s newly formed team of supervillains consisting of The Swarm, The Botanist, Rubberband Man, and Prometheus to seek revenge Static and drain his blood. Their attempt failed when Swarm betrays the team after some persuasion from Frieda Goren by freeing Static and gets stunned by Swarm along with Botanist. Was last seen being heavily guarded by the police at a local hospital to recuperate from his injuries

Jump in Static Shock

Jump appears along with Run in an episode of Static Shock (Season 2 Episode 2 – “Powerplay”). In this version, he is not Caucasian like his comic book counterpart and is changed into an African-American instead. He and Run are minions to a Bang Baby named Ragtag. Unlike his powers from the comics, Ragtag gave Jump the power of teleportation, thus making him human with limited abilities (and making his moniker more meaningful). He and Run persuade Richie to join Ragtag and commit crimes to keep their powers. Eventually, Richie, as Push, refuse to be a criminal and helps Static defeat Ragtag and his minions. He was voiced by Kenny Blank.
