Captain Atom (DC Animated Universe)

Captain Atom is the supporting character who first appeared on Justice League during the team expansion that followed the Thanagarian invasion of Earth. 
He was voiced by George Eads for the episode "Initiation" and Chris Cox for the remainder of the character's appearances.
==Bio==
Captain Atom first appeared on the Justice League during the team expansion that followed the Thanagarian invasion of Earth. During his first mission he helped Green Arrow, Green Lantern and Supergirl stop an atomic-powered juggernaut during a rampage through the Chong-Mai region of China, though it caused his containment suit to rupture. He was also part of an orbital defense team that was set up by the Justice League to prevent the evolved Amazo from reaching Earth, to no avail. Later, he was re-commissioned by the U.S. military for the purpose of protecting Project Cadmus and attempted to use his powers to stop Superman and Huntress from taking The Question out of the facility during an interrogation, but was defeated by Superman and brought to the Watchtower for repairs on his containment suit. During that time, Captain Atom helped defend the team from hordes of Ultimen clones that were sent by Project Cadmus to board the satellite and attack them.
== Powers and Abilities ==
Captain Atom was composed of living, nuclear energy and had to be confined to his containment suit in order to interact with others.
The Captain possessed the abilities of flight up to speeds approaching Mach 2, super-strength, energy absorption, and energy manipulation on a level sufficient to put up a decent fight against Superman himself, but Atom was ultimately beaten into unconsciousness by the Man of Steel. Captain Atom was highly resistant to injury, though he did seem to have physical limits. There was also a limit to the amount of energy he was able to absorb. It was occasionally difficult for Captain Atom to absorb large amounts of energy, and if he was unable to safely regulate his energy form or discharge the absorbed energies, he risked rupturing his containment suit and exploding. A serious rupture could cause fatalities and property damage within a fairly large radius if Captain Atom did not move to a safe distance.
Captain Atom seems to be able to feel some level of pain and fatigue despite his apparent lack of a human body. Superman was able to defeat him using pure physical force, in spite of the fact that Captain Atom was using his ability to generate red sun radiation as a weapon against the Man of Steel.
