Three astronauts go on a mission to Saturn and two are burned up while the third is just severely burned. At no point do we get any explanation as to how the ship makes it back to Earth but he's here now and he's mostly okay . . . until he wakes up, rips off his bandages, and freaks out at the sight that is. He goes on a killing spree while slowly losing a lot of gooey mucus and the occasional body part. He takes out a nurse, a fisherman, an older couple who stopped to steal some lemons, and, tangentally, unintentionally stops a sexual assault. He's basically a zombie who needs to feed in order to sustain life. There's a whole main plot surrounding the melting man's scientist friend who is incapable of showing sincere emotions and some truely irrelevant subplot going on regarding his wife's propensity for miscarriages. The scientist tries to track down his drippy friend and manages to prove that Melt Man still has some human in him before the scientist is gunned down by incompetent police. After lots of hardcore melting action and apparently not enough manflesh, Melty goes into an alley and reaches his inevitable state of sticky puddle. A janitor cleans him up off the street but will never clean up our souls after seeing this.
Quotes: "He seems to be getting stronger as he melts!"
