not strictly speaking the FATEFUL MOMENT (since he does it every episode) but here is a beloved character from UK comic THE SPARKY deploying his "black light torch"
(which must by science by a KIND of radiation)

the character, ilx will be pleased to learn, is called INVISIBLE DICK

See also DANNY'S TRANNY, which again likely has radioactive properties. Can't find his origin story online to confirm - strip first appeared in The Topper in 1973, the example shown is from the 1980s, when the phrase 'transistor radio' was already quite old-fashioned?

It doesn't count, but I always loved the images of flaming Alec Holland running for the water in Swamp Thing.

I think as long as it's a FATEFUL MOMENT where a character undergoes a STRANGE TRANSFORMATION it's fine for the thread even if it doesn't technically include RADIOACTIVITY
