another superhero alongside Dwayne Johnson’s titular protagonist — but, for the majority of people, it’s hard to deny that Noah Centineo's Atom Smasher is as far from a known quantity as it’s possible to get. WhoAtom Smasher — real name Al Rothstein — first appeared, under the name Nuklon, in 1983’sNo. 25 as a member of Infinity Inc., a group made up of the super-powered children of WWII superheroes the Justice Society of America.
To say the two were a poor fit for each other is an understatement; after Atom Smasher was responsible for the death of the supervillain Extant — the man who had killed his father — he and Black Adam increasingly chafed against what they saw as unnecessary moral boundaries that prevented them from preventing civilian casualties.
The two eventually left the team and, along with other anti-heroes, overthrew the government of Black Adam’s home country of Khandaq, installing Black Adam as the country’s leader.
In the aftermath of his rebirth, Atom Smasher serves as an uneasy go-between in communications between the U.S. and Khandaq, due to his relationships with the Justice Society and Black Adam; he’s more willing to forgive Black Adam’s particularly violent and isolationist actions than most U.S. heroes, and also more likely to be heard when arguing the point of view of the U.S. to Adam as a result of their shared history.
Why that actor?
Correction to your article... Atom Smasher was NOT the son of the Atom...he was the godson... very significant difference.
