Brice Rogers was driven mad by radiation and by the power of the moon, become the super-strong Moonman.

History

Brice Rogers was a pilot who volunteered for a mission to the moon organized by the military. Rogers was placed inside a rocketship and the vehicle was tossed towards the moon by Superman. As he was circling the moon, a Kryptonite asteroid passed by near his ship and he was exposed to the radiation. Upon returning to Earth, Rogers realized his body could transform into a super-human with magnetic abilities when exposed to moonlight. This condition also included a different personality, who called himself Moonman and started a crime spree using his powers. Superman was unable to stop him because he was weakened by the Kryptonite radiation coming from Roger's body and the Dynamic Duo of Batman and Robin were not worthy opponents for such a strong foe. When some crooks learned of Roger's powers, they kidnapped the pilot at daylight and forced the man to commit crimes at night. Fortunately, Moonman's powers were not permanent and he helped the heroes round up the criminals, clearing his own name.

Astronaut Stacy Macklin was exposed to similar radiation and gained the same powers, becoming Lady Lunar.
