* NighInvulnerable: King Cybernoid, Solar's archfoe in the Gold Key comics, is made out of a seemingly impervious titanium alloy. Cybernoid had tested his new body by having large-scale ultratech weapons blast it in his lab and satisfied with the results, he went after Solar. The titanium armor proved effective even against Solar, as he NoSell Solar's energy blast. It took Solar generating a massive nuclear explosion to finally destroy King Cybernoid.

Doctor Solar is a comic book superhero originally published by Creator/GoldKeyComics starting in 1962. A physicist whose name was actually "Solar", Philip Solar was trapped in a nuclear reactor by saboteurs. He survived and found that he gained enormous power and could turn into and produce energy. He was created by Paul S. Newman and Matt Murphy.

In 2010, Shooter restarted this title, as well as ''Turok'' and ''Magnus, Robot Fighter'', for Creator/DarkHorseComics, who licensed the characters directly from Gold Key using stories based on Gold Key elements (for instance, he's named Phil Solar again). The series quickly ended after a combination of unpopular art and ScheduleSlip.

* StevenUlyssesPerhero: It's a good thing he didn't get, say, [[AnIcePerson ice powers]].
* SuperpowerLottery: Something later lampshaded in the Valiant reboot as Seleski comments on how ridiculously bad the writing was to have a man with absolute control over energy being dangerously radioactive.
* TelephoneTeleport: Doctor Solar is capable of travelling like this.
* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: Subverted in the Dark Horse era; Shooter has written that power doesn't corrupt, power ''magnifies'' and a good man with power would have more opportunity to do good.
