Black Vulcan is a superhero with the ability to control lightning. He can also travel at the speed of light and beyond, allowing him to break the time barrier, and travel through time. He's also a member of the Justice League of America.
Earth-1A History
Nothing is know about Black Vulcan's origin.
Continuity from the William Street Universe
In the William Street Universe, a counterpart of Black Vulcan exists.
In this universe, the Black Vulcan is a former Superfriend who also has the power to control electricity. He says his power is "Pure electricity... in my pants." He was fired from the Super Friends for budgeting reasons, but he thinks it's because they were always pairing him with a white Super Friend, like he was going to start super looting the minute they weren't watching (which isn't true as he does it in the first episode.) He also says that he used to go by "Supervolt" and the name "Black Vulcan" was Aquaman's idea, to which he said "Maybe we should call you 'White Fish'!"
Black Vulcan soon joins Harvey Birdman, and together with a group of other minor heroes (as well as Jesse Jackson) they decide to form the "Multi-Culture Pals."

- The character of Black Vulcan was created by Hanna-Barbera Productions and is unique to the continuity of the Super Friends television series.

Other Versions
Black LightningBlack Vulcan was a take off on Black Lightning, a character who already existed in the DC Comics Universe. Apparently there were challenges with the creator of Black Lightning, so Black Vulcan was invented. When Black Lightning wasn't generating electricity through his body, he was a high school teacher and former Olympic decathlete. Jefferson Pierce returned to his old neighborhood in the Southside (Suicide Slum) of the city of Metropolis, with his wife Lynn Stewart and his daughter Anissa to become the principal of Garfield High School. Black Lightning debuted in Black Lightning vol.1, #1[2] (April 1977), and was created by Tony Isabella and Trevor Von Eeden. |
