Solarman (1992 TV Movie)

Solarman: All kinds of bad
7 December 2017
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
