Radioactive Man, within the world of the animated television series
The Simpsons, is a
comic book character who acquired superpowers after surviving an
atomic bomb explosion. He looks and sounds suspiciously like
Homer Simpson. A
campy TV series suspiciously resembling
Batman boasted the appearance of a villain called "The Scoutmaster," who sounded like
Paul Lynde.
Bart Simpson is a Radioactive Man fan and tried out for the part of the sidekick "Fallout Boy" in the Radioactive Man film, which went instead to his pal,
Milhouse van Houten. The film was to star Ranier Wolfcastle, Springfield's answer to
Arnold Schwarzenegger, but was never completed.
