Always good to see Solarman got work after being in SupermanIV

that's the good idea I mean Solarman can help Superman defeat The Nuclear Man But Solarman has the same weakness just like The Nuclear Man So he turns back to Ben Tucker so that Superman can beat The Nuclear Man

If this had gone to series it could've been one of the greatest cartoons that 1985 had to offer. It's too bad it was made in 1991.

Cartoon logic, man, plus Solarman reminds me of Birdman in how he can run out of power without direct sunlight.

Solarman looks a lot like Firelord from Marvel Comics. 🤔

As someone else on here said...The dude looks like Firelord from marvel comics.Firelord was one of Galactus's Heralds back in the day for those who didn't know.Spider-man also knocked him the fuck out when they fought in Manhattan.

If it released 6 years earlier and got a full season, this could've become a beloved cult classic of 20th century animation. As it is, it's not terrible, but it definitely pales in comparison to it's more creative and memorable contemporaries.

Mague And the shocking thing was a studio had interested in making it a series until one of their advisors warned that Saturday Morning Cartoons with superheroes would be a dead trend (which ended up being a lie, especially since Fox Kids had cartoons based on Batman, X-Men, and even Spider-Man).

I remember this. Fox had promised to air the first episode of the X-Men cartoon that Saturday morning, but this crap aired instead. I was so mad! I found out years later that the X-Men premiere was delayed because some of the animation wasn't finished.

Sounds like Defenders of the Earth.

Wow! I've never seen this before and I watched all cartoons as a kid..ah..1991...was a bit older by then :-)

Firelord called, and he wants his swag back!

I can see why this never got picked up...the baby chick was the most entertaining part

this was on the week before the XMen premier

Eh, it's messed up they gave him the 70' s vibe in 91....however it has potential,

coulda been a cool cartoon from back 80s-90s

apparently it was produced in ''86 but only aired in ''92...makes sense.

so many cartoons i never seen

"I wish Mom was still alive"...

The intro & the theme song is pretty cool....the only thing that ruins it for me is the excessive explosion sound effects. (Personally, I blame Michael Bay for this.)

He was in Superman 4 minus the watch Superman put him in a elevator and sealed him in it on the moon Before replanting the American flag. Remember.

I never heard of this cartoon

Cool. : )

Was this in the Fall of '91 ?

i still have some of the solarman comics from marvel

The lead voice was the priest in The enforcer (1976)

Founded this on an old vhs my dad found while thrifting it always felt weird but incomplete I have always wonder what happed and what was it

If Marvel make solar man it beat and I wish I directed solar man

Some of music q's reused in pretty much every comic series in early 90s.

Does anyhave have the Ghostwriter pilot from Fox as part of Fox Kids Network on October 3, 1992? The special was hosted by Gabrielle Carteris and Austin Green of Fox's “Beverly Hills, 90210.”

So tell me if you've heard this a dying alien GREEN LANTERN...that's the Green Lantern Okay how about a kid Captain Marvel Well how about a Solar Fucking Superman But he has LUKE SKYWALKER!!!

Welp, that potential ally and the only person who is somewhat informed on what's going on is dead... ha-ha, no time for mourning, here's my new friend - the bucket of bolts!

Solarman can!

Wow, this is the most quotable cartoon ever! It's the animated Anchorman! "Out of sight! I've become a...a hunk! Fantabulous! I can even fly!"

I can't believe I'd never even heard of this until today. I would definitely have thought this was from the mid-1980s rather than 1991, though.

In 1991, Marvel Productions was still a NEW WORLD company.

Miss Foxstar is a heroine who is Abigail "Abby" Star. She can fly, survive in the vacuum of space, she has superhuman strength and she can also control light and heat and other forms of Energy

If this episode was redone, I think this could have some promise.

The best part of this (besides that awesome theme-song, of course) is Beepie! No, just kidding, he's an abomination... -It's really when Solarman is attacked by Daleks: "THE CIRCLET! THE CIRCLET!"

This looks like it could have made an EPIC series.

And just to add a little more: Solarman was created by a guy named David Oliphant for Pendulum Press way back in 1979, and he's also the Executive Producer for this cartoon (as well as having a "Solarman Character Created by" credit) And, despite his dalliance with Marvel, David still owns the character. He just had a redesigned version of the character published in Scout Comics last year. (Gone is the bright yellow hair, for one thing - Ben Tucker is now an African-American teen hacker rather than a white comic book geek, and he appears to not have a separate "super" form) So far, it's also only made it to two issues.

If only it had lasted.

that was great! some of the lines were corny but it was a fun adventure! they should bring Solarman back and do a trilogy

Yea it actually was released on VHS in 1989 to accompany the Solarman comic book from Marvel Comics which I think only lasted 2 issues. The one episode/movie only lasts around 22 minutes but must have had a few extras thrown in because it gets listed as 38 minutes long. This pilot was actually done in 1986 but the series never happened & Fox Kids block only showed it one time I think back in 1992.

I still have some of the comics made from this show (on Marvel), they were pretty decent.
