| Origin |
| Grandson of Terry Curtis
(the villain known as Cyclotron) and godson of the golden-age
Atom, Al
Rothstein is quite literally, a living legacy. Inheriting
super-human strength as a result of his grandfather's atomic-powered
physiology, Rothstein took the alias of Nuklon as a founding member the
second-generation super-hero team Infinity, Inc. Subsequent exposure to thorium radiation gave Rothstein limited control
over his molecular structure, Manifesting itself in an ability to modulate
the size and density of his body.
Abandoning the Nuklon identity, Rothstein has now
adopted a name that pays homage to his predecessors Cyclotron and the Atom
by calling himself Atom Smasher. |
