Awful

This episode was created in 1988 and pitched to television stations in 1989. No station picked up the pilot. Eventually, the episode aired as a special on Fox Kids on October 24, 1992. This is exactly what happens when Marvel creates a cartoon character instead of a comic book character, total garbage. The entire idea of this character is just stupid and the writing was even worse. They even gave him a stupid little robot(FF rip-off) so all the kiddies would love him. When he turns into Solarman the first time he says "Outta sight, I've become a..a hunk. Fantabulous!" I guarantee that super creepy line sealed this terrible show's fate.
