[edit] Golden-Age Megaton Man

Golden-Age Megaton Man was the incarnation of Megaton Man during the 1950s', considered to be the Golden Age of comic-books. During World War Two, he fought with The Bombastic Brigade (A tribute to Liberty Legion), that included Hawk Head (Similar to Blue Falcon), Tight Rope Boy and Pin-Up Girl.

As time passed, Farley gre old and fat to a state where he looked remarkably similar to Uncle Marvel. However, his old sidekick Liquid Man (Rex Rigid), used hypnosis and a special belt to get Farley back into shape and to make him think it was still 1941 in an effort to get rid of the existing Megaton Man.

Rigid underestimated his hypnosis on Farley, who had created The Replace Men to replace the Brigade (The Replace Men included Clothes Line Kid, The Bag Lady and Garbage Can Lid Guy). Soon the hypnosis wore off, and Golden-Age Megaton Man and Megaton Man together defeated Bad Guy.

Golden-Age Megaton Man was Farley Phoog, and retired when Silver-Age Megaton Man took over from him. Farley later became the uncle of Trent Phloog, the existing Megaton Man. The only difference between the two is their costumes, where Golden-Age Megaton Man wears a similar suit, but with a yellow cape and a large "M" imprinted on his shirt.

Golden-Age Megaton Man has performed solo since his return, and has assisted a superhero team called The X-Thems (A parody of X-Men) in their battles.

[edit] Silver-Age Megaton Man

Silver-Age Megaton Man became the incarnation of Megaton Man during the Silver Age of comics (The 1960 - 1970).

Silver-Age Megaton Man took over from Farley Phoog (Golden Age Megaton Man) and remained as a superhero until the existing Megaton Man replaced him.

Silver-Age Megaton Man also has a daughter, Miss Megaton Man, who assists the existing Megaton Man whenever needed. The only clue to Silver-Age Megaton Mans' identity is his daughter, Miss Megaton Man, who implies that her fathers' surname is James. Silver-Age Megaton Man was also the first incarnation of Megaton Man to be black.

[edit] Miss Megaton Man

The female persona of Megaton Man, Clarissa James was the daughter of Silver-Age Megaton Man.

While Golden-Age Megaton Man began work with the X-Thems, Clarissa James married Trent when he briefly retired as Megaton Man (before Megaton Man divorced and married Earth Mother). Clarissa gained Trents' "megapowers" when they both made love. His powers were sexually transmitted into Clarissa, and thus Miss Megaton Man was born. The two, however, later divorced for unknown reasons.

She is now a part-time affiliate to Megaton Man, but works closely with Earth Mother (Megaton Mans' wife).

[edit] The Russian Megaton Man

It is unclear who the Russian Megaton Man is, but he too has superpowers like Megaton Man, but wears a red costume (pointing out his upbringing in the Soviet Union) and is based in Russia. The two had a showdown, but eventually realized that a fight between two superheroes was pointless, and so agreed to make a truce.

[edit] The Next Megaton Man

The Next Megaton Man is the future incarnation of Megaton Man, but his identity is a mystery. It is predicted that The Next Megaton Man will be the future hero of Megatropolis. His sidekick is a Robin (comics)-like boy named Britomart.
