He became a superhero, but kept his existence and actions secret for years in order to protect his identity. After those years, his powers gradually develop that gave him his current appearance. He was also married to a woman named Eve until she died from a terminal illness. On her deathbed, Eve requested her husband to continue working as Captain Atom where he was spurred to coming out to the public.
