Biography
Pre-Crisis
Walter Pratt
Atom busted up some racketeers trying to get protection money from his friend Mr. Murphy. Murphy was grateful, and asked if there was anything he could do to repay Atom. Atom’s friend Jack needed a job because he’d become the family bread-winner after his father died. Jack was thrilled to learn he could earn some money, telling his mother he wouldn’t have to pawn the watch his father left him. Jack made a grocery delivery to the Green Walk night club, and overheard the owners talking about their criminal racket. They heavily advertised the night club’s opening, and planned to rob whoever showed up before fleeing town. They realized Jack overheard them and trussed him up in the stock room. Atom spotted Jack’s abandoned delivery cart, and decided to investigate. One of the Green Walk staffers spotted him and knocked him out with a frying pan. Atom woke up next to Jack in the stock room, and although it broke Jack’s heart he shattered his father’s watch to cut his restraints and free Atom. The Green Walk floor show started and Atom and Jack trounced the criminals trying to rob the clientele. The police chief said Atom had earned an award for their arrest, but Atom insisted it go to Jack. Jack was thrilled that he had enough money to go back to school and support his mother, and Atom paid to have a new case made for his father’s watch. (Flash Comics v1 #80)
