The world has seen its fair share of poor superheroes, I mean come on we had Captain Planet (1990) and many of them didn't last all too long.
Solarman was the pilot episode of a proposed television series which never came into fruition. Had I been on a board watching this deciding whether I wanted to invest into such a show I'd have turned it down to.
Solarman has a very similar origin story to Green Lantern, it's kind of Green Lantern meets Shazam in fact.
A boy finds a wounded alien who tells him he is earths last hope before handing him a bracelet that turns him into *Dun dun dun* Solarman.
Solarman powered by the sun (Original) and has an unspecified cluster of powers and must face off against a generic villain who looks like he's straight off the He-Man boat.
Generic, clichéd, and not even remotely original this is one series that I'm very glad died before birth.
The Good:
Nope
The Bad:
Tacky as hell
Entirely unoriginal
Things I Learnt From This Show:
A villain who threatens to make people "Feel his touch" should have worn a white collar
