[edit] Character History
A genius engineer and the father of Valerie Perez, he has faced multiple incarnations of the Flash, and each time he has used a new moniker, but similar powers.
Using his knowledge as a nuclear engineer, Mota creats a suit to give him an atomic-power punch. On his first appearance as the Atom Smasher, Mota is defeated by Jay Garrick.
In prison, Mota plots revenge and when the new Flash, Barry Allen, appears, Mota believes him to be Jay. Released from prison, Mota holds Central City hostage as Professor Fallout, secretly hiding a neutron bomb in a sculpture. He is quickly defeated by Barry and returned to prison.
Upon his release from prison, he became Professor Fallout, holding the city hostage with a neutron bomb hidden inside a giant sculpture of an atom. The somewhat confused Flash was able to defeat him, and returned him to prison.
During his second stint in prision, Mota begins to obsess over revenge, the Flash and safe nuclear power. Creating the identity of Fusionn, Mota steals equipment from a nuclear power plant and crafts a suit that allows him to shoot blasts of energy. Mota manages to unmask the third Flash, Wally West, in the fight, only to learn that Wally is not Jay, and his identity is publicly known. Enraged, Mota attemps to melt the entire city, but Wally throws a stone through one of Mota's cooling tanks, melting the suit into radioactive rock.
One Year Later after Infinite Crisis, Mota's daughter, Valarie, has began a romance with the fourth Flash, Bart Allen. Mota has been stalking his daughter and somehow has been transformed into an energy being, and kidnapped her with Bart's clone Thaddeus Thawne (Inertia)
The future Flash, John Fox, faces Mota when he returns as a monster made of living Plutonium in 2645. Fox managed to send Mota into the future where he decayed into lead.
