A biting satire of superheroes comics from artist Don Simpson.
* Captain Ersatz: Magaton Man himself is a combination of Captain Marvel (He has a "magic word", though his is "Overkill" instead of "Shazam"), Superman (Reporter alter ego with a pathetically transparent disguise) and basically every single over-muscled strongman hero, dialed Up to Eleven.
* Catch Phrase: "WOO!"
* Crossover: With The Savage Dragon, as well as Normalman (the latter crossover also featured appearances by everyone from Bone to Madman to Flaming Carrot to Groo the Wanderer).
* Dueling Comic Series: Even though Megaton Man came first, he was often compared to The Tick: big, blue, dumb, lantern jawed superhero parody with a cult following.
* Paper-Thin Disguise: In this case, the paper is onionskin

| - Trent Phloog lives in Megatropolis, a futuristic city in Michigan, United States, and makes his living as superhero Megaton Man, otherwise known as "The Man of Molecules". Whenever he says the magic word "Overkill", he explodes. Megaton Mans' costume is metallic blue, with yellow gloves and boots. His allies include X-Ray Boy and Yarn Man, who both assist Megaton Man in battles against his arch foes, Bad Guy and Bulky Guy. The origins of Megaton Mans' powers remain unknown, but the comic names two possibilities. He was either bitten by a radioactive frog, a hint towards Spider-Man, or he was the result of a military megasoldier program, a nod towards Captain America. When he first gained his powers, Megaton Man was known as Megaton Lad and had a sidekick called Plutonium Pup, a reference to Krypto the Superdog. When Plutonium Pup died on his 21st birthday, Trent Phloog became Megaton Man. Trent Phloog is married to Stella Starlight, who is known as the superheroine Earth Mother (see below), and the two also had a child together.In recent times, Megaton Man has discovered both previous and present incarnations of himself. In particular, Golden Age Megaton Man, Silver-Age Megaton Man, and a Russian Megaton Man, whose costume is red.Outside Megatropolis, Megaton Man is allied to The Phantom Jungle Girl. Villains outside Megatropolis include Irving the Living Cactus, and the Tomb Team, a band of supernatural villains including the Bride of Frankenstein and Dracula's Daughter.
