In the 1980s, Troy McClure starred as Radioactive Man in a film trilogy, consisting of:

Fictional history

Although it varies slightly in different comics, when Claude Kane III was caught up in a nuclear explosion, he gained super powers and became Radioactive Man. The explosion lodged a lightning bolt-shaped piece of metal in his head, which helped him survive.

Radioactive Man first met Fallout Boy in issue #9.

In Radioactive Man #72, he marries one of his enemies, Larva Girl. However, this story is just an imaginary tale.
