History

Nathaniel Adam was a captain in the United States Air Force until he was framed for a crime he didn't commit. Rather than a death sentence, he agreed to an experiment involving alien metal. As a nuclear device was set off to test the metal's durability, it merged with Adam's skin and displaced him two decades into the future. There, he became a superhero under the codename Captain Atom.
