The laughable villain in Superman IV: Quest for Peace was Nuclear Man, a clone created by Lex Luthor to fight Superman. Ridiculously accessorized with silver Press-On Nails, he was easily one of the more insane elements of an insane film.
However, in the original cut of the film, there was another Nuclear Man, one even more ridiculous than the one who made it into the film.
Looking like a glammed up zombie Joe Pesci, Nuclear Man 1.0 was no match for Superman. He gets vaporized and provides the genetic gloop that spawns Nuclear Man 2.0. To try to salvage this mess of a film, all references to 1.0 were removed from the U.S. theatrical release, though they were included on some foreign versions of the film. Bizarrely, one of the syndicated versions of the film that appears from time to time features the original Nuclear Man in it and the scenes were included as bonus features on the DVD.
