Disagreements with Black Lightning creator Tony Isabella had left him out of the animated cartoons, leading to the creation of Black Vulcan instead. While lacking an origin story or identity, Black Vulcan remained the least stereotypical African-American superhero of the 1970s (on TV or in print).
Other members of the diversified Super Friends cartoon should have been so lucky. Case in point ...

Origin and Background: (American) Religion/Mysticism. As a young man, he received a pouch of magic dust as part of a bravery test. Gaining size-change powers as a result, he later became a member of the animated Justice League. It is unclear if the hero is now a tribal chief himself or if he uses the title simply as a codename.
