The original plan was for Christopher Reeve to play Nuclear Man, but this idea was ultimately scrapped due to budgetary limitations and time constraints. Had this idea gone ahead, the parallels between Nuclear Man and the Bizarro clone would have been even stronger.Nuclear Man is actually Luthor's second attempt at cloning Superman. There is a deleted sequence from the film depicting the creation and death of the first imperfect clone. And this clone bore a notable resemblance to John Byrne's version of Bizarro.Another comic character that may have influenced Nuclear Man is the sand creature Superman that appeared during a story arc in 1971. This entity debuted in 'Superman Breaks Loose' (Superman #233, January 1971), in which Superman was caught in the blast from a nuclear reactor meltdown. The resultant bombardment of k-radiation created a sand copy of Superman that would return to haunt the Man of Steel in numerous subsequent issues.The first time Superman encountered the sand creature was in Superman #234 (February 1971). Superman was trying to tame an erupting volcano. Then the sandman Superman showed up and entered the volcano.The fight scenes between Superman and Nuclear Man visually recall the Superman vs. Bizarro fight in Superman: The Man of Steel.
