DC
Current without alternation
DC most commonly refers to the District of Columbia—the federal district coextensive with Washington, the U.S. capital: I'm flying into DC tomorrow.
DC also stands for direct current, electrical flow in one constant direction, as opposed to alternating current (AC): The device runs on DC power.
DC Comics is the publisher of Batman and Superman. (Lowercase dc is a Unix calculator utility.)
