I have a soft spot for Static Shock for one specific scene: when Virgil and Riche meet Clark Kent after they'd met Superman as Static and Gear while fighting a giant robot monkey (it's a superhero cartoon, I'm willing to go with it).

To summarize if you don't want to watch (fair enough): hearing that a big-shot reporter is going to be writing a story about them, they naturally wanted to brag about how well Static and Gear did...and then Clark got a notebook out and innocently asked:

"So, you two saw the fight?"
"Yeah, we saw it!"
"Where were you when it happened?"

Virgil and Riche hadn't thought through any sort of cover story and have no idea what to say to keep their identities secret; Richie ends up saying that the answer depends on the definitions of 'it' and 'is', while Virgil tells Clark that asking hard-hitting questions like that is what makes him a good reporter. And Clark laughs with them.

It's a great scene because it's the exact opposite of the typical crossover "figure out some contrived reason to make the two heroes fight each other" plotline. Clark gives them a hard time and reminds them that keeping a secret identity is hard work, but is clearly on their side and rooting for them. Virgil and Richie are a bit too full of themselves, but it's clearly the normal exuberance of youth and something they'll get better at.

A thirty-second character interaction develops all three characters and is reasonably funny to boot. The writing was good in a lot of places in that show.
