Origin story

Dr. Adam Mann was experimenting with uranium-235 after the first atomic bomb was used. During the experiment he suffered a side effect from the uranium changing him into the superhuman being known as the Atomic-Man. His superpowers include "Atomic Blasts", flight, invulnerability, and super strength, as well as the ability to shoot energy blasts from his right hand.[4]
