Allen Adam (New Earth-Forty Seven)

Origin
Allen Adam was normal test pilot for the United States government who tested experimental planes in Florida. He was considered one of the best and was one of the most sought out pilots in the country.

Allen's life would change however, when he tested a new atomic jet. During the test the jet malfunctioned and began to causes the atomic engine to overheat. Knowing the jet would explode, Allen decided to fly straight upward towards the atmosphere to minimizes the damage of the explosion. Upon reaching the atmosphere, the jet exploded, apparently killing Allen.

Shortly after his death, a strange energy began appearing around the military base in Florida, where Allen last departed. The energy quickly began to change, becoming at first look a glowing skeleton. A few days afterwards the skeleton transformed into a golden man. The scientist brought in to examine the man discovered that he was in fact Allen, who somehow reconstructed himself into the new golden more durable form.

After his sudden resurrection, Allen was tested and studied by the government. They discovered that he somehow went through a molecular change, most likely caused by the atomic engine's explosion that turned his body into physical atomic energy without giving off radioactivity. The quickly learned that Allen's new form gave Allen super strength, speed, and reflexes, as well as being able harness his own atomic energy into atomic blasts that can be either strengthened or weaken by Allen's output. They also discovered that Allen was capable of flying faster then any jet in the world, as well as being able to survive in space and learned he didn't even need food or water anymore.

After concluding the study, Allen was ordered to stay at the base to avoid scaring people and to be ready if needed.
