Atomic Thunderbolt

Golden Age Origin
After the WWII, Professor Josiah Rhonne was looking for a way to end the threat of nuclear annihilation. So, he came up with the idea to transform people, by changing their atomic structure, to make them immune to radioactivity and able to survive a nuclear explosion. He needs a human test subject, so chooses one who was brain damaged by a Nazi torpedo,William "Willy the Wharf Rat" Burns. However, an explosion in the lab accidentally transforms Willy into the Atomic Thunderbolt. He fights crime with his new powers. His powers include flight and projecting "atomic energy" blasts.
