WITNESS THE DEFEATS OF CAPTAIN ATOM !!!

Air Force Captain Allen (aka Nathaniel) Adam was the victim of a freak nuclear accident, but instead of being disintegrated by the deadly radiation, he was transformed into a being of pure energy, Captain Atom.

Captain Atom's origin was reprinted in the second volume of Space Adventures #9.

  
Captain Atom debuted in Charlton’s Space Adventures #33, an early entry into the Silver Age super-hero revival. Despite lean and gutsy art by Steve Ditko, However, the comic book could not survive Charlton’s mediocre scripting and so sank into obscurity. The strip was reprinted in Strange Suspense Stories and later revived in this series under the editorship of Dick Giordano, who brought back Steve Ditko, along with Denny O’Neil and Jim Aparo.
