Most of you know I write the Ask 411 Movies column for 411 Mania. I recieved an email from a reader wanting to know the name of a t.v. movie from the 80's. The funny thing is, from his brief description, I remember just about everything about the damn movie aside from the title and who was in it. If my memory serves, this astronaut gets caught outside his space capsule during a solar burst or something like that. He is knocked uncoscious from the blast, but his teammates pull him in and they return to earth. Back on earth, he finds that he gains super powers when he looks directly into the sun. If he just glances at the sun his vision turns blue and he gains increased intelligence and deductive reasoning. I also think he gained the ability to see in the other areas of the light sprectrum. Like he could tap into x-rays and see through objects. If he stared longer into the sun, everything would turn yellow and he would gain super strength and speed among other possible powers. If he continued to stare into the sun, his vision would go red and his powers would go into hyperdrive, fizzle out and then his brain would explode if his exposure to the sun continued. I think this was on ABC and meant to be a pilot for a show that never happened. I remember it coming across like Super MacGyver. Any ideas on what this might have been would be very appreciative. Thanks.

who continued the awesome by wearing a skirt and having sex with mops. Although, I probably would have choosen the mop over TERRI who the hots for him at the time.

I have to give some love to the SCTV cast who have all gone on to have at least pretty decent careers and all considered to be great comedic actors. That being Eugene Levy, Joe Flaherty, Rick Moranis, Dave Thomas, Martin Short, Andrea Martin, Catherine O'Hara, John Candy and Harold Ramis (not a member of the main cast, but he did work on the show and played minor characters).

See, I told you this was obscure. I'm giving this a last bump, just in case. I hold out hope for help.

hometown of JOHN KRONUS.

or how about the Rock promo at Wrestlemania XIV where he gets interviewed by JENNIFER FLOWERS who used to boink Bill?

and after the Sheik left the WWF, Nikolai tagged with BORIS ZUKOV.

You've Got to Hide Your Love Away Helter Skelter Paperback Writer And Your Bird Can Sing Come Together Ticket to Ride And I don't get the love for All Across the Universe. A toddler with a playskool guitar could have written that. It's terrible.

who would feud with HULK HOGAN if his ass ever shows up in a TNA ring.

and he trained in Sully's Gym in Toronto with JOE E. LEGEND.

Ole Anderson is an ex-con and Dave Meltzer is his parole officer. Ole is killed by his old gang and now haunts Dave as a ghost and aides him in bringing the gang to justice and righting other wrongs of the legal system. Call it "Ghost of a Chance."

who did an awesome announcer job during THE CRUISERWEIGHT TITLE BATTLE ROYALE.

I think the deal with Roma and Wright was that Roma was just a prima donna who was pissed that he had to go out there and make this green kid look like a million bucks while he was toiling as a low carder after having gotten a big push as a horsemen. With Duggan, I think it was that Jim was offended by the Berlyn character and didn't want to job to Wright based on that. I don't think anyone really had personal issues with Wright outside of the fact that he was getting a push beyond what his talents at the time warranted, but it's not like that doesn't happend all the time.

who once won the belt in a triple threat match involving RALPHUS.

Yeah, the Russian Assasins were Jack Victory and the Angel of Death and Jack would often do double duty as several masked guys or even as himself on the same card. I'm pretty sure he's the guy from the tower of doom match too.

you want to link hair? how about A-TRAIN who has more hair on his back than on his head

he dropped the WCW Light Heavyweight title to BRAD ARMSTRONG.

because VINNIE VEGAS said it was, so there.

and there deathmatch title was once held by WIFEBEATER.

who also jobbed to Barry due to interference from BRET HART.

and the current dude is king of the jobbers BARRY HOROWITZ.

who was trained in the WCW Power Plant like the tag team of HIGH VOLTAGE, who were decidedly uncool.

I liked Reverend D-Von. I think a fire and brimstone preacher could get over. It's an opportunity for a lot of high energy mic work and the gimmick lends itself to a lot of different move names and such.

For me, Vampiro was just a ripoff of the Brood and to a greater extent 'Taker. Berlyn was a great gimmick, but Alex Wright being a douchetard killed it out of the gate when Hacksaw totally no sold his ass in his debut match. It was an updating and edgier take on the foreign menace. I always marked out for the Repo Man. I think he came off a bit too cartoony, but Darsow was able to play him to the hilt that way.

who would actually be better off with BILVIS WESLEY as a running buddy than an often injured 'roid monster.
