Radioactive Man
Claude Kane III was a wealthy layabout socialite and playboy from Zenith City. He gained superhuman strength, speed, senses, near-invulnerability, flight, and nuclear-based abilities after exposure to an atomic bomb, but a shrapnel piece embedded in his head requires concealment with a fedora. As Radioactive Man, he protects Zenith City from evil and leftism, aided by sidekick Fallout Boy and the Superior Squad.
