Nuclear Man -- Superman IV

[megowgsh]

This week I present for your viewing pleasure Nuclear Man from the last of the Christopher Reeve Superman movies.

I took a few liberties with his costume design because images on the net are not all that clear (kind of like Superman IV itself).

The head is a Flash Gordon head from Black Knight; boots from CTVT; LJN swivel arm body to give him a more "buff" look; paints and suit by yours truly.





I hope you enjoy this obscure villain as mush as I do and, as always, thanks for looking.

Peace, Love and Megos!

Nice! You know, IV gets a lot of crap (and it deserves it), but Lex making Nucelar Man is closer to the old comics than him trying to make a land grab. Nucelar Man has that Silver Age "villain of the month" look about him, and you captured it well here.

I was thinking of IV when I was reading Red Son Friday and Lex made Bizarro.

Looks better than the movie version Nice! Do you have a Reeve custom to pose with him?

[thunderbolt]

I agree with the Silver Age vibe that the plot of the movie gave me, too. Good one, Austin.

Great work. I've kind of always wanted this guy despite the movie's quality.
