Captain Atom

The best magazine ever
When Captain Adam changes his name by two letters, he becomes Captain Atom, the superhero with powers equal to that of God.....except he has no idea how to use them!.
Well not exactly....

Captain Atom is basically Dr. Manhattan with pants and no idea what he's doing. His story starts when he is found guilty of treason, and in exchange for freedom, Captain Adam volunteers to undergo a scientific experiment.  He disappears and leaves his wife and kids behind him. This all happens in the sixties.
Dude's kids look messed up
Now that Captain Adam is out of the picture, General Eiling marries Adam's wife and raises his kids. Why because that man is a terrible person. Here is a picture of him shooting a cardboard cutout of a Muslim 
This is America! We don't need geographically correct maps
The Blue Beetle is such a tool

Is this really necessary Eiling? 
But this isn't the last we've heard Captain Adam. In the year 1986, Captain Adam reappears out of nowhere and the military secures him.
Everybody is dead. Poor guy
After regaining his senses, Captain Atom escapes and meets up with the man behind the Captain Atom project, Dr. Megala, who is now basically a robot in a sick wheelchair and his muscly assistant Babylon
You missed Footloose


Babylon, what are you doing?


After he goes through a training montage, Captain Adam is found by the government, and General Eiling offers him a chance to serve his nation as a secret agent. 
Don't forget your fudgesicles when you go a-spying 
 And that's how Captain Atom starts, time jumps and jerk military commanders. This series, while it really amounts to nothing, is a bit interesting, considering the fact that Captain Atom gets to fight a whole bunch of nifty villains. 
Those French Canadians, they crazy
Well that's it for Captain Atom, comment or share if you liked this and tune in next time
