Who is Nat Tryon?

Nat Tryon is Neutron, a Superman villain whose body was transformed into living nuclear energy, making him a potent radioactive threat capable of devastating destruction. He operates as a dangerous antagonist in the Man of Steel's rogues gallery.

Nat Tryon stepped onto the DC stage in 1981's Action Comics #526, a Bronze Age creation from the sharp minds of Marv Wolfman and Joe Staton β€” a debut pedigree that speaks for itself. Over a publishing history stretching all the way to 2022, this character has proven surprisingly durable for someone with a modest appearance count, earning a spot in Who's Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe β€” the ultimate stamp of DC canonicity. Tryon moves in rarefied air, sharing pages with heavy-hitters like Superman, Batman, Green Lantern, The Flash, and Supergirl, placing this figure squarely at the heart of the DC universe's rich tapestry. For collectors and continuity enthusiasts who love unearthing the corners of DC's Bronze Age, Nat Tryon is exactly the kind of find worth chasing down.
