HISTORY

The Atom is a heroic member of the Justice Legion A in the 853rd century. Originally, he was a scientist from another dimension who gained the ability to atomise his structure after encountering a so-called 'singularity', an anomaly in the laws of physics. However, the singularity also threatened to destroy his universe. The scientist tried to prevent that from happening but instead ended up in the universe of Justice Legion A, while his own universe seemingly collapsed behind him. The super-powered scientist took the name of the Atom and dedicated his life to searching for remnants of his own world. He later encountered the Justice Legion A and joined their ranks.

POWERS AND WEAPONS

The Atom has the ability to split into multiple duplicates that together retain the total mass of his original body. On a sub-molecular level, he can arrange his microscopic selves into an atomic arrangement and thus mimic various elements.
