ACTIVE
Hero Identity: Captain Atom
Last Name: Adam
First Name: Nathaniel
Middle/Nickname: Christopher
Hair: (deactivate) Blonde (activate) Gold
Eyes: (deactivate) Blue (activate) Gold and glows Red with use of power.
Height: 6'4''
Weight: 200lbs
Current Residence: San Francisco
Occupation: Former U.S. Air Force Major, Full Time Superhero
Outfit: Looks like a golden muscle man with chaotic red markings.
Marital Status: Single
Powers:
Dilustel Armor: Captain Atom's metallic shell, or "skin", is composed of a portion of the alien being known as Silver Shield, and is called Dilustel. Pieces of the aliens metal body were used in the Captain Atom Project. Nathaniel is able to coat himself with the metal, either partially or totally. Atom's symbiosis with the metal is such that even partially armored he is able to access the Quantum Field.
* Quantum Field Manipulation: Captain Atom's metal skin is tied into the Quantum Field, which enables him to absorb and manipulate theoretically infinite amounts of energy, the amount of which he can use is, of course, limited by his will power. Captain Atom energy absorption power is second to none in the DCU, he is able to absorb just about any form of energy and store it in his person. Captain Atom can fire and control energy of any form. He commonly manipulates his energy into force field bubbles, or explosive 'bombs', but the most common form is a simple blast. Over the years, Captain Atom has become an expert at his energy manipulation and he can fire from any point on his body, although he usually uses his hands for ease of aiming. He can fire in multiple directions at once or from every point of his body at once. Several times he has "detonated", releasing a massive amount of energy at once, destroying objects within an certain radius. On more than one occasion he has used his ability to manipulate all forms of energy to prevent a foe using their own powers such as the Ray and Firestorm.
* Flight: This energy can be used for flight which is generally half-light speed
* Superhuman Strength: Has uncharted strength
* Self-Sustenance: Life support allowing him to live and even speak in space
* Matter Generation: Captain Atom can also create matter in the same manner he creates energy.
* Enhance Abilities: With focus and effort, Captain Atom can increase any of his abilities to the match the amount of will power he uses to gain it.
* Atomic Transmutation: Captain Atom has demonstrated minor atomic transmutation powers, he must be able to concentrate in order to use this power.
* Techno Interface: He has also shown the ability to telepathically interface with computer networks in addition to those listed above.
* Quantum Jumping: Captain Atom has shown time-travelling capabilities without quantum jumping. Captain Atom states that through concentration, he can briefly travel ahead in time ("about a week or so"). The process is exhausting and the period he can interact in the future appears to be limited to a few minutes before he returns to the present.
* Invulnerability: The metal is almost total invulnerable, resistant to various degrees of damage from energy, physical, heat, lasers, etc.
Limitations: If Atom absorbs too much energy at once, he is sent hurling through time. Depending on the type of energy absorbed, he either goes forward or backward in time
Bio/History: This modern captain's name was established as Nathaniel Christopher Adam, a United States Air Force soldier in the Vietnam War framed for a crime he didn't commit and sentenced to death under the watch of Col. Wade Eiling in 1968. As an alternative to execution, he was invited to participate in a military experiment with little chance of survival, in exchange for a presidential pardon. The experiment involved testing the hull of a crashed alien ship's durability by exploding a super nuclear bomb under it. Adam survived as the metal melted into his body, the excess energy threw him forward in time nearly forty years and only to wake up remembering nothing that happened in his past life.
Regaining coherence in 2007, Adam found himself a man without any memory of his past life and in the hands of Eiling, now a general and the second husband of Adam's now-deceased wife. Everyone had assumed that Nathaniel Adam had died on the day of the experiment, so his presidential pardon was never issued and the current government refused to acknowledge the previous administration's promised pardon. Seizing the opportunity at hand, the government used the outstanding murder/treason charges against Adam to blackmail him into being a government-controlled superhero (codenamed Captain Atom).
