Black Vulcan is an African-American superhero on the animated series Super Friends and Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law by Hanna-Barbera, voiced in the former by Buster Jones and the latter by Phil LaMarr.

Comic book artist and Super Friends fan Alex Ross intended to create a modernized version of Black Vulcan for his rejected Captain Marvel series.

[2] Black Vulcan makes a cameo appearance in the DC One Million 80-Page Giant special as a member of an alternate universe Justice League.

[citation needed] This version describes his powers as "pure electricity... in my pants", which becomes a running gag throughout the series, and originally went by the codename "Supervolt" before calling himself Black Vulcan at Aquaman's suggestion.

On a few occasions, he exhibited capabilities such as converting his physical form into pure energy and traveling through light speed (in an unsuccessful attempt to escape a black hole).
