Identify obscure 80's sci-fi film

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.

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

Pretty sure that's not it, but thanks for the try.
