Radioactive Man with Fallout Boy in the 1970's television series.

Radioactive Man made his début in "Radioactive Man" #1 in 1952 and alongside comic books, he stared in a black-and-white serial sponsored by Laramie Cigarettes. The serials featured Dirk Richter as Radioactive Man and Buddy Hodges as Fallout Boy. Richter was later killed in a bordello. In the 1980s, Troy McClure starred as Radioactive Man in a film trilogy, consisting of:

• "Radioactive Man"
• "Radioactive Man II: Bring On The Sequel"
• "Radioactive Man III:Oh God, Not Again"

Radioactive Man III starred Krusty the Clown as the main villain Krusto the Evil Clown and original Fallout Boy, Buddy Hodges as Fallout Boy's great grandfather.

In the seventies, a TV series based on Radioactive Man was shown, notable for being more camp than previous portrayals. It also starred Dirk Richter. One of the villains in this series was The Scoutmaster.

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.
