I am not opposed to some fictional characters appearing in wikipedia (Sherlock Holmes / Yossarian etc.), but this is an article about a fictional character within a fictional television programme. It is not anywhere near being notable enough for inclusion in any encyclopaedia. Please Delete. Bucephalus 13:34, 9 Jan 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep. Recurrent Simpsons character/theme, not just a ephemeral 1-episode joke like many others.--Centauri 14:33, 9 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep there are loads of articles on Simpsons characters, including many more obscure than this one. Radioactive Man has been part of the show pretty much since the very beginning and has been referenced countless times. He's also had action figures and a real-life comic book series since 1994. Notable enough. Starblind 14:50, Jan 9, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Notable character, even beyond the TV series. 23skidoo 16:03, 9 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Besides which, I've seen Radioactive Man comics - it's made the transition from fictional fiction to just plain fiction. Bryan 18:13, 9 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, notable character, precedent already set by allowing other Simpsons characters. Megan1967 00:10, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, notable charactor within The Simpsons. Needs a cleanup though. Somebody in the WWW 00:46, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Samaritan 06:35, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. This character is a running recurrent character in the most successful animated series of all time, and features in computer games and merchandising. Therefore, it achieves some level of notability. If this were a one-off character, it would only be appropriate to feature in the relevant season guide section. Google gives 47,000 hits for Radioactive Man, indicating that the name has wider use than a one-off minor joke. Average Earthman 11:17, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep Radioactive man comics have been printed for more than 10 years now. See here The Steve 08:35, Jan 11, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, pretty much what most people said. Radioactive Man is a very strong recurring character that existed from the early seasons. --Deathphoenix 19:15, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep passes 'Bajoran wormhole test' Pedant
  • Keep Popular (science) fiction characters form an important part of our cultural heritage. A valuable historical asset with reference to one of the longest running animations in history.

Debuted in 1950's?

Odd that he debuted in the 1950's. Most of the long-running character who debuted them were revamps of older characters (the Flash, Green Lantnern, etc.) ````Enda80

bongo comics?

wtf is this bongo comics shit? if there's a knock-off of the simpsons with its own universe, it should be in its own article.

Bongo Comics, for this anonymous user, is a licensed user of the Simpsons Intellectual property. It was founded by Matt Groening and a couple of other folks, and one of their products is a comic series about well, Radioactive Man. Probably a bit too late, but just in case somebody else wonders what's going on. Mister.Manticore 22:46, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Up and Atom

Should someone put that up and Atom is also Atom Ant's catchphrase? Treynate2 22:56, 30 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It says in the link that Atom's catchphrase and battle cry was: 'Up and At 'em, Atom Ant!' so no --Rubber cat 07:04, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

They do sound similar, though so... Treynate2 17:06, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
