POWERS & ABILITIES
(*=Linked)
Being Thrown Through Time
The one disadvantage to Captain Atom's abilities is his connection to the "quantum field" from which he draws his energy. If he absorbs a tremendous amount of energy of any sort, he will open the "quantum field" and be sent forward in time. For this reason, Atom is very careful about absorbing energy, but on occasion, he has little choice but to do it.
When Captain Atom absorbed the energy from Monarch's neutron bomb, they were both hurtled backward in time, rather than forward. The reason for this is unclear, but it appears to be an isolated incident, possibly related to the massive quantity and type of energy Atom absorbed.
Atom's Energy Absorption Power works for every form of energy attack and actually has no limits. However, if he absorbs more than 13 APs of Energy at any one time, he will be sent forward in time the number of APs absorbed. If, for instance, Captain Atom absorbs 19 APs of energy (far beyond his limit of 13) he is sent hurtling through the "quantum field" and will reappear in the same spot over seven days later.
ROLE-PLAYING NOTES
Nathanial Adam is a man torn from his own time (the 1960s) and has a number of beliefs and behaviors modern society labels “old-fashioned.” He is a loyal soldier who resents what was done to him by corrupt and misguided individuals in the name of his country, yet has very little place outside of the military.

Exusiai's Notes When this comic first came out, the cover of issue #1 blew my mind. I devoured this series and loved every second of it. In a mixed world I see him and Captain America bonding over their shared "Time Loss"
