He's Static. In powers, in character, in backstory (from the little glimpses we've caught). But, because of his teammates, he's also partly Black Vulcan. How can you not understand it?

If they used Static, Bombshell, Kid Devil and Hot Spot (for example), instead of the other Super Friends heroes, then he obviously wouldn't be associated with Black Vulcan.
