Main article: Albert Rothstein

Godson to Al Pratt (the Golden Age Atom), Albert Rothstein acquired his powers of super-strength and control over his molecular structure from his grandfather, a reluctant supervillain known as Cyclotron, allowing him to fight crime first as Nuklon, and later as Atom Smasher.

As Nuklon, Albert was a charter member of Infinity Inc. and subsequently served in the Justice League. He took the Atom Smasher identity shortly before the re-founding of the Justice Society of America, of which he was a charter member.

[edit] Gerome McKenna

Luthor's project grants super-powers to McKenna, who is given the codename Nuklon after Luthor buys the rights to Infinity Inc. from the Pemberton Estate.
