Trivia[]
- Vulcanus shares his name with Vulcan, the god of metallugy and blacksmiths, and the Roman counterpart of the Greek god Hephaestus. Ironically, although the character Vulcanus serves Mars in the Omega series, in mythology Vulcan plotted, and succeeded, to publicly humiliate Mars after he caught Mars having an affair with his wife, Venus.
- Vulcanus's attack, Valse des Flammes, in French means "Waltz of Flames". This is in keeping with his namesake, Vulcan, who, according to legend, worked at the heart of a volcano, in a blacksmith shop filled with fire, ashes and soot.
- In a slight twist, although his attack has the word Valse (waltz) in it, the mythological Vulcan was born with crippled legs and could not walk without help, let alone dance a waltz.
