The series (and its sister title, ''Bizarre Heroes'') has been published by several companies over the years, including KitchenSinkPress, Creator/ImageComics, Simpson's own company Fiasco, and had a stint as a webcomic and even appeared in ''Asylum'', an anthology comic published by Creator/RobLiefeld. Some old strips, plus a [[UsefulNotes/TheWarOnTerror post-9-11]]-related storyline that Simpson completed and then sat on for over a decade can be found at [[http://megatonman.blogspot.com/ the official blog]]. |

| 8 | * CaptainErsatz: Magaton Man himself is a combination of [[ComicBook/{{Shazam}} Captain Marvel]] (He has a "magic word", though his is "Overkill" instead of "Shazam"), ''Franchise/{{Superman}}'' (Reporter alter ego with a pathetically transparent disguise) and basically every single over-muscled strongman hero, dialed up to eleven. |
| 9 | * CharacterCatchphrase: "WOO!". |
| 10 | * {{Crossover}}: With ''ComicBook/TheSavageDragon'', as well as ''ComicBook/{{Normalman}}'' (the latter crossover also featured appearances by everyone from ''ComicBook/{{Bone}}'' to [[ComicBook/{{TalesofTheBeanworld}} Mr. Spook]] to ''Comicbook/{{Madman}}'' to ''ComicBook/FlamingCarrot'' to ''ComicBook/GrooTheWanderer''). [[Webcomic/SupernaturalLaw Wolff and Byrd]], Counselors of the Macabre, also made a guest appearance in the webcomic incarnation of Megaton Man. |
| 11 | * DistaffCounterpart: Ms. Megaton Man. |
| 12 | * HeroicBuild: Exaggerated to the point of parody. |
