That's because Black Vulcan was just an African-American with electrokinesis. Jamie Foxx's Electro in the upcoming Amazing Spider-Man sequel is as much Black Vulcan as Virgil is here.

Tye is Apache Chief. Ed is El Dorado. Sam is Samurai. How can Virgil then not be Black Vulcan? Just because he's the only one whose name is not made up for the show, doesn't make him any less Black Vulcan.
