Captain Atom

Biography
Decades ago, court-martialed Air Force Captain Nathaniel Adams volunteered for the top-secret Captain Atom Project in order to prove his innocence to charges of murder and treason. Adams’ superiors, headed by General Wade Eiling, theorized that a strange alien alloy would protect him from an atomic blast, a disastrous experiment that melded the alloy to Adams’ body and catapulted him 18 years into the future. When the quantum-powered Adams reappeared, he was pardoned in exchange for service as the U.S.-sanctioned superhero, Captain Atom, a federally mandated member of the Justice League.
