Nuclear Man (portrayed by Mark Pillow but voiced by Gene Hackman) is the supervillain from the film Superman IV: The Quest For Peace. He was created by Lex Luthor with the DNA of Superman. Despite his name, he is actually solar powered. He succeeded Evil Superman as the evil movie clone of Superman.

Not to be confused with Firestorm whose nickname was "The Nuclear Man" prior to the release of Superman IV.

Character history

The first Nuclear Man.

If one goes into the history of Superman IV The Quest for Peace, there is a long history of deleted scenes. Deleted scenes from the film show a prototype Nuclear Man (played by British actor Clive Mantle), who was quickly defeated. This Nuclear Man also seemed to resemble Bizarro. This Nuclear Man was made in the laboratory of Lex Luthor. The only time he battled the Man of Steel was when Superman (in the form of Clark Kent) and Lacy Warfeild went to the club to dance. Nuclear man entered the club with the intention of killing superman until a woman began hitting on him. After getting her off, Nuclear Man battled using cars, garbage cans, and other objects. Ultimately, Superman kicked him into a power transformer and the first nuclear man was destroyed. Later, Lex Luthor's nephew Lenny salvaged the remains to make Nuclear Man 2.

Trivia

  • Nuclear Man is listed as #1 in Wizard Magazine's "10 Villains We'd Like to Forget." The text reads: "Ya know what? Clones may just be worse than robots. Especially when they've got lame electric powers, 'evil nails' and only have their powers while exposed to sunlight."[citation needed]
  • There was a very limited run of action figures of nuclear man
  • This is one of the very few Superman villains to successfully defeat Superman.
