- In Justice League Unlimited, the Absorbascon featured in the continuity of the DC Animated Universe where it appeared in the episode "Shadow of the Hawk". It was revealed that a Thanagarian ship crash landed in ancient Egypt where Katar Hol and Shayera Hol survived. The device later stored their memories after their death where it was uncovered a Human archaeologist. After touching the machine, the mind of Katar Hol was imprinted in his mind whilst his darker nature became a shadow entity called the Shadow Thief. Katar in his civilian guise attempted to get Hawkgirl to use the Absorbacon as he believed she was his reincarnated lover and secretly assisted by Shadow Thief.
