Axel Manning

Axel Manning is the main protagonist of the English-language French action animated series, A.T.O.M. He is the eighteen-year-old leader of A.T.O.M., and a master of the Jo-Lan martial art. Jo-Lan combines the body and mind, allowing each punch, kick, etc. to land with a burst of energy. When Axel was 8, his father, Sebastian Manning, was supposedly killed in an explosion by who was assumed to be Paine, but later found to be someone else. Axel still searches for the truth on what really happened.
He was voiced by James Arnold Taylor. 
== Personality ==
Axel enjoys adventure and will push his body to its limits. Just like the rest of the team he likes extreme sports. Possibly the team's most level-headed member, Axel feels bad when he feels he put someone in danger and for a long time, blamed himself for his father's death. He and King become close friends and he also seems to have feelings for Lioness, as she is the only one who can get through to him when he is brooding about the past or enranged with his enemies.
During Season 1, Axel hated Paine for (he first assumed) betraying and killing his father. This and Paine's attempts to take over Landmark City, lead to many battles between the two before Paine was imprisoned again. In Season 2, when Mr. Lee's true intentions were revealed, Axel felt betrayed and angrily promised that he'd do everything in his power to stop him.
== Appearance ==
Axel has brown hair and gray eyes, just like his father. His Alpha Team uniform is black and orange. His personalized equipment include the Turboboard and the Thunderbike 3000.
