Brad Wilson

Brad Wilson is a small antagonist in the 1978 film Superman, he was played by Brad Flock. He had a bigger role in the 1983 sequel film Superman III, he was played by Gavan O'Herlihy.

Bradley Wilson was a star player on the football team for Smallville High School. He and his teammates often ridiculed Clark Kent, who was the coach's manager and responsible for equipment. Brad also dated a cheerleader named Lana Lang, whom Clark also held a candle for.

The adult lives of both Lana and Brad had been far different from the prestigious status they enjoyed in high school. Their relationship had also ended, with Lana marrying (and later divorcing) another man, and being left a single mother to a boy named Ricky, and had a hard time getting a job in Smallville. Brad had found employment as a security guard in a Smallville company called Wheat King, which was a subsidiary of Webscoe Industries. Brad did not particularly excel at his job, having been plagued by alcoholism, which was a vulnerability exploited by Gus Gorman, who had been ordered to hack into the Vulcan weather satellite's guidance system.

Brad was last seen at a hotel in Metropolis. He had been stalking Lana for some time in an attempt to get her to rekindle their high school relationship, which Lana had no interest in doing so. When he learned she moved to Metropolis and that Clark Kent had gotten her a job at the Daily Planet, a drunken Brad attempted to attack Clark. However, a fight proved unnecessary, as Brad was so tipsy when he attempted to tackle Clark he mistakingly tackled a maid's dolly cart instead, then was taken for a ride down the hallway screaming.
