    Anyone else think that Radioactive Man is one of the most underrated heroes around? He's been around for a long time, he's really powerful, he was one of the founding members of the Thunderbolts, and he's just about the only current Thunderbolts member I actually trust.

    I personally love the guy and think that he could probably take out nearly every hero I can think of. Radiation is quite an awesome power, so I am surprised he had not been doing more damage in his appearances. It can disorient, poison, and of course, cause more...permanent conditions such as cancer and death. As a villain he was feared, and rightfully so. He is still powerful as a good guy, but I don't know. Might have just been the way he's been written, but he seems sort of weak for one with his move set.

    Bad news if you have read X-Sanction then you know what I'm talking about. If not then let's just say they made Radioactive Man a villain again with no reason behind the shift other then to give Rulk a joke that wasn't even funny.
