Fictional character biography
Miguel Devante is the latest member of a lineage of metahumans who hunt White Martians and were empowered by a virus they created. After becoming a superhero, Miguel battles Vulcan's enemies, the Coalition of Crime, consisting of Witchazel, Dino-Mite, Monkey-in-the-Middle, Charliehorse, Little B.U.D.D.Y., Flex, Scramjet, and Fishmonger. He also meets the human-Martian hybrid children Sapling, Buster, Silhouette, Quaker, and Blur.
Vulcan appears in JSA Classified #19 (January 2007) as an unwilling participant in Roulette's metahuman brawls. He joins Titans East before being injured and rendered comatose in a battle with Trigon.
Vulcan is seen pursuing El Diablo in the pages of Suicide Squad as the latter escapes in a commandeered ambulance to Gotham before his Justi-Flyer is disabled by Deadshot.

Thanks to the unique Vulcan Metavirus, Miguel can generate intense heat from any part of his body. Miguel wears a special suit of body armor created by previous Vulcans, with gauntlets capable of generating forcefields. All Vulcans carry a special sword with a monomolecular blade.
The Vulcans have access to the Encyclopedae Vulcanis, containing the collective knowledge of previous mantle holders.
