#### **Abilities:**

* Powers and Abilities
* Resistance
Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Genius Intelligence, Quantum Manipulation (Connected to the Quantum Field which is one of the primal forces of the cosmos that binds everything. Quantum Manipulation is the main power and ability of Captain Atom), Self-Sustenance (Captain Atom has no need for oxygen, food, water, or sleep), Immortality (Type 1, 3, and 4. Captain Atom will perhaps outlive the entire universe and he will become nothing but energy, energy that will end the entire space-time continuum), Regeneration (Low-Godly; He constructed himself a new body from nothing, albeit it took a month since he was extremely new to his powers. Later on, he easily managed to come back from lone molecules in a short period of time), Light Manipulation, Enhanced Senses and Extrasensory Perception (Can see beyond the human spectrum. Can pick up energy signals, as well as data and transmissions and radiowaves. Can see the molecular structure of anyone and anything. Can see energy transmissions. Can feel Flash's molecules. Can feel radiation from a far distance), Cosmic Awareness (He was able to peer into the timestream and see his past. In addition, he was able to somewhat connect with his future self through this), Radiation Manipulation (While he is connected to the Quantum Field, he also taps into the Strong Nuclear Force. He leaks radiation. He gives off passive radiation, which can give people cancer), Disease Manipulation (Gave someone cancer after they touched his skin), Absorption and Statistics Amplification (Quantum powered individuals can absorb energy and radiation to strengthen themselves, sometimes passively. However, too much absorption can have bad side effects. Absorbed a bomb, which gave off a lot of radiation. Can absorb people if he tries. Absorbed a Quantum powered rat, who had just absorbed massive amounts of radiation. Absorbed his future selves to become powerful to fight his universe-destroying self. Quantum Field manipulators can amplify their power levels by tapping deeper into the Field), Energy Manipulation and Energy Projection (Can manipulate and project various forms of energy, but mainly the infinite energies of the Quantum field in varying forms. For example, he created a large dome of energy to protect his comrades and destroy his enemies), Heat Manipulation (Gives off passive heat tthat can easily burn a human's skin), Inorganic Physiology (His physiology has been fundamentally changed. Beneath the physical shell, he is nothing but energy), Explosion Manipulation, Self-Destruction (He can self-destruct), Transformation (Absorption sometimes causes him to transform physically.), Adaptation (Due to being an energy being, he was able to easily adapt to varying external environments), Flight, Limited Vibration Manipulation (Can perform a thunderclap), Matter Manipulation, Transmutation and Deconstruction (Can transmute matter on a sub-atomic level. Holds his molecular form together with his thoughts, or else his physical form will cease existing), Time Travel (When he absorbs too much, he either gets sent to the past or the future. Quantum and energy overload shunts him into the timestream. Subconsciously reversed time), Data Manipulation and Technology Manipulation (Can see the entire data stream, including phones, radio and TV of the planet. Can see and interact with the planet's data stream. Can remotely scan computer records. His body messes with nearby technology), Teleportation (Can teleport to various parts of the planet), Invisibility, Space-Time Manipulation (Can bend time and space on a quantum level), Size Manipulation, Small Size and Large Size (Can grow as small as an atom or as large as a small building), Forcefield Creation, Intangibility, Telepathy (Was able to read the mind of a Quantum-powered rat. Projected his thoughts into a rat's mind.), Telekinesis, Life Manipulation (From a sliver of his subconsious, he was able to create his former self as a human. However, by doing so, he got rid of his humanity. His future self created life out of nothing), Fusionism (Merged with his human form), Subjective Reality and Illusion Creation (Captain Atom picked up bits and pieces from the minds of those around him and twisted reality to make them relive their worst nightmares or achieve their greatest desires), Astral Projection, Fire Manipulation (Caused a toy to combust. And when a man caught it, the fire wouldn't go out until Captain Atom willed it), Power Bestowal (Gave other people powers. Temporarily gave Dr Megala the ability to astral project), Vehicular Mastery (Was an airforce Captain. And can fly a helicopter)

Heat Manipulation (Went inside of a radiated lava), Radiation Manipulation (He simply absorbs radiation and empowers himself with it. Went inside of a radiated lava.. Absorbed a bomb, which gave off a lot of radiation.), Matter Manipulation (His physiology is in constant flux, which makes it harder to manipulate, if not nigh-impossible), Mind Manipulation (Resisted his future self from taking control of him)

**Attack Potency:** **Varies** (Captain Atom's power levels vary greatly, and he has complete control over the output of his power levels. He can power himself down and up at will. In addition, he is mentally and emotionally somewhat unstable, which also tend to mess with his powers. Furthermore, his unstable physical form causes fluctuations in his power levels from time to time. And he can control how much power to draw from the Quantum Field). up to at least **Universe level+**, likely **Multiverse level+**, **higher** at his peak (Absorbed his future selves, who were far more potent than him, and fought his universe-destroying self for a brief period of time, before the latter was erased from history. If he were to stop holding back, give up on his humanity, and embrace his true power, he can become a space-time eating energy monster. Fought Chrono Mato who exists in the Timestream, which is a place far beyond time and space, and which contains the collective field of all time. Can destroy an entire space-time. Was going to become maybe a threat to all of existence)

**Speed:** **Massively FTL+** usually **Immeasurable** at his peak (Caught up to Dr Megala's astral form who crossed interstellar distances in an extremely short period of time. Outpaced the expansion of energy and matter from the big bang. Kept up with the Big Bang as the universe was being created. Can keep up with the Flash and had a long conversation in a fraction of a microsecond where everything was frozen. Perceives time at a much slower rate, Kept up with Chrono Mato)

**Striking Strength:** **Varies**, up to at least **Universe level+**, likely **Multiverse level+**, **higher** at his peak

**Durability:** **Varies**, up to at least **Universe level+**, likely **Multiverse level+**, **higher** at his peak

**Stamina:** Infinite. Never seems to run out of stamina. In addition, he is very closely connected to the Quantum Field, so he can draw upon its infinite energies.

**Range:** Up to Planetary with energy attacks, interdimensional with dimensional travel

**Standard Equipment:** None notable

**Intelligence:** Genius. Nathaniel was never a smart person, but after acquiring his power, he had no choice but to learn more about the field of science, otherwise he would have not been able to use his powers in a proper manner. He needed to learn how matter and energy works so he can use his powers efficiently. When healing the cancer of Ratina, he followed the instructions of Dr Megala perfectly to the point where he was able to create tissues and proteins. Was able to outsmart an angry Dr. Megala, albeit in a very small way. Was able to deduce how Megala was controlling Firestorm in a matter of seconds.

**Weakness:** Constantly shifting energies and molecules can weaken him momentarily as he cannot adjust to the ever-changing pattern. However, he was able to overcome these obstacles very quickly. Absorbing too much energy or radiation has bad side-effects on his body. In addition, absorbing too much leaves him weak for a short period of time. Captain Atom has too much power, so he tried to help people by being a miracle worker, however, that created a chain reaction which led him to reaching his full potential and was going to destroy the entirety of the time-space continuum. Therefore, he avoids helping people and using too much power in fear of becoming a God again. Radiated bullets can temporarily nullify his Quantum aura.

**Notable Attacks/Techniques**

* **Hold back:** Captain Atom holds back for a variety of reasons, be it his internal conflict, or his fear of becoming a God again. In addition, if he doesn't hold back, he could bring about the death of countless people.
* **Matter and energy over fists:** Captain Atom rarely ever fights physically, as he has no need for it. Instead, he fights by using his energy and matter-related powers as they do the job much better.
* **Absorption:** When faced with attacks, Captain Atom will try to absorb as much as of it as he can, so the damage to the people and environment around him is minimized. In addition, he can draw upon those powers to enhance his own abilities.
