According to Unsold TV Pilots written by Lee Goldberg the film was intended as a pilot for a continuing series. Goldberg claims the film was not accepted for series production due to lack of merchandising potential, despite relatively successful viewing numbers.[5]
Plot
A professor, who has been paralyzed in an attack by mob hit men, builds an armored suit that enables him to walk and fight crime.
The show has gained a negative criticism since it aired from Io9 and Topless Robot.[3] The latter writes, "A series that was bold in its vision of screwing Stan Lee out of a check, Exo Man is an Iron Man clone of the highest order."[2]
