Known Background Information

Jonas Thompson enlisted in the U.S. Army at a young age. A dedicated soldier, the man listened to every order he was given and made sure to carry it out to the best of his ability. He was a remarkable soldier, earning the respect and admiration of his peers and commanders. After returning from duty, he lived peacefully in his home in Paragon City. Unfortunately, soon afterward the Rikti began their first invasion in 2002. He grabbed a weapon and hit the streets, doing everything he could to help control the massive and panicked crowds. When coming face to face with the alien invaders, however, his combat skills were for naught, as he was nearly killed had it not been for a hero of the city stepping in to save him.

Years had passed, and yet Jonas still felt useless to his city and his nation. He needed to become something greater to fight these growing threats. He need to become a superhuman. Through one of his contacts, he caught wind of an experimental procedure by Crey Industries. They were attempting to find a way to grant someone the ability to generate perpetual energy at will. Jonas jumped at the opportunity that had been presented to him. He finally had his chance to become a superhero.

The operation was considered a partial success. Seeing the results, Jonas discovered that he no longer had a physical body. He had become living radioactive energy. After a series of tests, Crey constructed a suit for him and used him to boost their image. Thompson happily took on the name Atom Cannon and fought as a hero of his city, with Crey sponsoring him. But the experiment affected more than his body. Over time, his mind degraded as well. The lines between good and evil have completely blurred for him, causing him to become an extreme vigilante. In the name of protecting his nation, he will fight his nation himself.

Powers and Weaknesses

Atom Cannon is living, sentient radiation contained within a special carbon alloy suit. He is able to project blasts of pure radiation from long distances, while also being able to wrap himself in it, using the radiation for close range combat as well as a shield.

Atom Cannon's suit is not resistant to all forms of attack. If he experiences enough damage, his suit will crack and theoretically explode. The force of the explosion is unknown, but should be avoided at all costs. Most materials and substances that can reduce radiation have been known to weaken him.

Known ways to properly thwart Atom Cannon include, but are not limited to:

- Overpowering him

- Using massive amounts of water
