Simpsons Comics 37

Everyone is shocked to see Claude Kane/Radioactive Man alive and well and Gloria questions how he is alive after he was confirmed to be the "Atomic Avenger" and was slain in battle. Claude states that he has in fact been out of town for the last few months on a seal clubbing expidition, much to Gloria's shock (though it is revealed that Claude merely fabricated the story as to protect his identity.) Meanwhile, Eczema, who has seen this on TV is convinced that whoever this man (Claude) is, he cannot possibly be Radioactive Man as he is dead which is "all that matters right now". She then declares that with the city's mightest superhero disposed of, they can proceed with their plans for domination and the destruction of all who stand in their way.

In the meantime, Fallout Boy is contacted by Superior Squad member Bug Boy to arrive at their HQ. Bug Boy explains that the Eczema have threatened an "all-out attack" on the Superior Squad and with Fallout Boy's experience in battling them (alongside Radioactive Man) they were hoping to gain a little insight a their foes. Before anything further can be done, they are contacted by fellow member, Plasmo, who has managed to establish a temporary link with the spirit world, making it possible to contact Radioactive Man one last time. The Squad and Fallout Boy head over to Plasmo (though Squad member Captain Squid is suspicious of why they are not meeting at Plasmo's HQ). Meanwhie, Gloria, seeking a big story follows discreetly.

Plasmo welcomes the fellow heroes and explains that he has had his HQ cleaned for unkown reasons. He then orders the Heroes to link hands and concentrate around the magical crystal ball. Plasmo asks for the Lord of the Nether Realm to 'be a sport and fetch us the one called Radioactive Man!".  At that point, an apparition of Radioactive Man appears just Gloria peeks through the curtains in disbelief. Fallout Boy is shocked to see the ghost of his mentor, to which Radioactive Man sarcastically replies: "You were expecting maybe Hugh Hefner?".
