He intends to remove all nuclear weapons from the earth, and goes about to do so. Unbeknownst to Superman, though, Lex Luthor (Gene Hackman) has stolen a piece of Superman's hair and used it to create a genetic marker. When he attaches this to one of the nuclear missiles that Superman is collecting and Superman tosses all of the missiles in to the sun a strange being that comes to be known as Nuclear Man (Mark Pillow) is created by the explosion and the genetic marker.
