Bolt from the blue debuts a useless character, Resplendent Man

6.5

"Fair"

By sporkman5353, Jul 12, 2007

While Bolt from the blue did have its moments some of the content in this episode was kind of disturbing and ridiculous. I don't know why Resplendent Man was so perverted. It really didn't add to his character of a greedy and selfish old man in my opinion. Also I thought it was stupid that they had him have the opposite clothing of Superman. Since he's been on the bottom of the barrel in life I can only half understand why he charged those who he saved money. I am glad, however, that he did not use his owers for evil. That would be stupid. I also liked that the Lex plot started to build up again. This episode gets my reccomendation for big Lois and Clark fans only.moreless
