Overview[]
Dakota is an American city and the home base of Static. Despite its urban set-up, it has multiple dilapidated/abandoned areas, many of which are squatted in by the homeless, runaways and gang members. Consequently, the city is prone to social unrest and gang-related violence. Things escalated twice, first in the riots and later with the Big Bang. The latter event gave the city countless metahumans, which caused crime rates to spike.
The Dakota Destroyers were the city's professional basketball team.
