Absolutely the worst movie.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

This episode was created in 1988 and pitched to television stations in 1989. No station picked up the pilot. Eventually, the episode aired as a special on Fox Kids on October 24, 1992. This is exactly what happens when Marvel creates a cartoon character instead of a comic book character, total garbage. The entire idea of this character is just stupid and the writing was even worse. They even gave him a stupid little robot(FF rip-off) so all the kiddies would love him. When he turns into Solarman the first time he says "Outta sight, I've become a..a hunk. Fantabulous!" I guarantee that super creepy line sealed this terrible show's fate.

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

SPOILER: Ever heard of Solarman? Of course not because his comic only ran for two issues or so before being cancelled and his cartoon only ran for one episode; this one. Gormagga Kraal is an alien warlord who is planning to drain the sun of all its power so he can convert it into energy for his super-laser. The scientist who developed the super-laser decides he doesn't like this at all and so he fires a strange bracelet device to Earth where it is discovered by a boy named Benjamin Tucker. The scientist explain that if Benjamin Tucker presses the button on the bracelet while it's out in the sunlight then it will turn him into a fully grown superhero named Solarman. If you're a fan of the cheesy then you owe it to yourself to see this film; it's short so it's not too much of your life gone and it manages to pack a lot of 'what the flying hell?' into its runtime. This movie is technically solid for its time and action is incredibly entertaining.
