On "The Simpsons", who does Radioactive Man marry in issue #72?

The story behind the answer

In issue #72 of the fictional “Radioactive Man” comic, Radioactive Man marries Larva Girl. The story presents Larva Girl as both a dangerous enemy and a romantic interest, turning the superhero’s usual battle against villains into an exaggerated comic-book melodrama.

Larva Girl lures Radioactive Man into falling in love with her after he arrives at her hideout in Zenith City Dump. Their relationship is not a straightforward happy ending: she has ulterior motives, and the marriage becomes part of a scheme to defeat or kill him. Radioactive Man eventually breaks off the wedding after the deception is exposed.

The story is a parody of the bizarre continuity often found in superhero comics, where romance, villainy, radiation, and sudden reversals can coexist in a single issue. “Radioactive Man” is a comic-within-the-comic from “The Simpsons,” with its own deliberately overdramatic history and recurring characters such as Fallout Boy and Larva Girl.
