Trivia

  • Originally there were two Nuclear Men in Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1987). Mark played the second Nuclear Man, while the original Nuclear Man was played by British actor Clive Mantle, who proved to be ineffective and was quickly destroyed by Superman (Christopher Reeve), with Mark being the improved version reforged from the remains of the first Nuclear Man. All of Mantle's footage and virtually all references to him were cut from the theatrical version of the film, leaving Mark as the only Nuclear Man. The original Nuclear Man was also infatuated with Lacy Warfield (Mariel Hemingway) and the second Nuclear Man remembered her, which is why he goes after her in the film's climax.
  • Is now a Sales Representative at Southern Glazers Wine and Spirits in Houston, Texas. His Facebook page confirms this. (2009).
  • He was born in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England, to an American father, from Baytown, Texas, and an English mother, from Hessle, Yorkshire. The family settled in Spring, Texas.
  • Was a Chippendale's Dancer in Los Angeles.
  • Mark sustained a broken foot in one of the takes, during the moon fight climax in Superman IV.

Quotes

  • [on the troubled production of 'Superman IV']: I believe the shoot was quite difficult, but I only really felt it through Sidney (Furie), who was obviously having a tough time. There was a sense that things weren't going well. A lot of my scenes didn't make the final cut, but the wonderful thing about the Internet is you can find all these things now!
