History

Rod Runtledge was an average bookworm, until one day he met billionaire playboy Claude Kane III (Radioactive Man) at a radioactivity convention. A tall piece of machinery fell towards them. Claude grabbed Rod and jumped over the rail, Claude holding onto the machine. The machine came to life, and as the ray passed through Claude, it hit Rod. Rod received a pint-sized version of RM's powers, and became Fallout Boy.

Radioactive Man: The Movie

In the Radioactive Man film, Rod Runtledge/Fallout Boy was played by Milhouse Van Houten. Rod was on the U.S.S. Serendipity with his mother, when his mother was held hostage by thugs looking to steal the payroll. Radioactive Man then came to the rescue and saved her, although Rod's mother later claimed that Radioactive Man didn't really exist. Later, as Rod was cycling, he got crushed by an X-Ray truck, driven by Otto Mann. The truck gave him powers and turned him into Fallout Boy.

Radioactive Man ran some tests on Fallout Boy and decided to train him as his sidekick. The two of them worked together fighting crime until one day Gloria Grand was kidnapped by Silly Sailor. Radioactive Man and Fallout Boy went to rescue her only to have their powers taken from them. They were then left hanging upside down in a cage but Fallout Boy managed to escape, without his powers still. He was then found by his mother and taken home again, punished for skipping dinner. Fallout Boy later saved Radioactive Man and revealed to him that they gained their powers back hours ago, Radioactive Man just didn't know.

Radioactive Man and Fallout Boy then go back to WZEN Tower to stop Dr. Swartzwelder broadcasting information harming Radioactive Man's reputation. They reveal that Dr. Swartzwelder is actually Dr. Clownius in disguise. After Dr. Clownius is arrested, Radioactive Man and Fallout Boy go back to fighting crime together.

Future

In the future, Rod Runtledge takes up the mantle of Radioactive Man. When Fallout Boy of the past calls him to ask if Radioactive Man from his time is there, the future Radioactive Man panicks about speaking to his younger self.

Radioactive Woman

A female reboot of Radioactive Man, called Radioactive Woman was in production, with Sherri and Terri Mackleberry playing the role of Fallout Girl, a female version of Fallout Boy. The movie never got finished.

Behind the Laughter

When a pop punk band from Chicago, who are now known as Fall Out Boy, was playing at a local concert, they asked the audience for a suggestion for a band name. Somebody screamed Fallout Boy. The band chose the name and stuck with it. In many interviews, the band says how the name "Fallout Boy" was an idea from a fan and is a superhero sidekick from The Simpsons.
