Black Vulcan was a fictional character on the animated series Super Friends.

Along with Apache Chief, he was introduced in an effort to make the show more multicultural, an attempt that was not generally regarded as successful.

His superhuman powers included the ability to fire electricity from his body, fashion cages for enemies out of electricity, and use electricity to fly.

Unlike most of the Super Friends, Black Vulcan was not a pre-existing DC Comics character. This is particularly notable since DC Comics' roster did include an African-American superhero with electricity-based powers (Black Lightning. Black Lightning could not be used in the show, however, due to disputes between DC Comics and Tony Isabella, the creator and owner of the character.

Black Vulcan has made several appearences on the show "Harvey Birdman, Attorney At Law", debuting in the season 1 episode, "A Very Personal Injury".

The character "Juice" from the Justice League Unlimited episode was also directly based on him.
