History and Origin
Ralph Matheson spent much of his young life in the shadow of his father's accomplishments as an important scientist. While the father always pushed his son to do well in school, especially in technical and scientific fields, the young man never really wanted to take part in that world-- opting instead for soccer practices and spare-time video games.
All the same, having connections to a well-funded company as his father's was had its perks: Ralph was invited to the unveiling of the design for a new prototype quantum ray handheld device they were working on. The event was attended by dozens of intellectuals from across the globe, and would have been a complete success if it weren't for one crucial mix up-- an assistant brought out the real device instead of the model!
The ray was given to Ralph for a photo opportunity, and at that moment, his finger slipped over the "on" switch for a brief second and he was blasted with concentrated quantum energy. The only sign that anything was amiss was the sudden shiver coming from the boy, during which he switched the device off.
The next morning, however, was very different. When he woke up in his bed the next morning, Ralph found himself smothered by his own sheets and his pillow nowhere to be found: he had shrunken down to miniature size as he slept! Upon realizing this, he began to panic-- which seemed to have the effect of causing him to grow back to his own size... except he ended up even larger than he started out! It was in this state that his father discovered his distress, and quickly deduced the events of the previous night.
(To be continued?)
Information
Physical Attributes
Ralph has an average build for someone his age that undergoes a semi-regular physical regimen.
Atomac's smallest and largest heights have been recorded at 5 inches and 32 feet, respectively.
Powers and Abilities
- Energy Generation: Atomac's physiological state is able to produce quantum energy on its own, which he then uses for various other abilities. Any excess energy can be projected as concussive blasts.
- Size Shifting: The power for which he is best known, Atomac is able to alter his own size, mass and density at will.
- Super Strength and Durability: Atomac's strength is usually proportionate to his size, but can be augmented by focusing extra quantum energy into his muscles and bones.
- Flight: While capable of taking to the air at any size, Atomac typically does this at normal height or below. Initially, this power was a crude form of super leaping involving the constant use of his growth, shrinking and density-altering powers.

- Lightmare
- Sirius
- Allies
- Astral Avenger - When Ralph met Viola, she was apparently just in from the "Alone Sun State". As it turns out, there was more to her than she initially revealed.
- Blitzer - A brash young man gifted with the blessing of Lugh, a fey "deity of skills" that claimed to possibly know an Atomac from another dimension. Weird?
- Particle Man - Pretty much instant friends with everyone: Atomac, in particular due to his ability to shrink down to his level.
- Slick - Weird. (He says it a lot!)
- Taranis - An alien from the planet Tellur, considered as a mutant of his species with the ability to temporarily grow at will.
- Thundrax - Atomac looks up to Thundrax like an idol.
- Vespula Sting - Atomac is unsure of what to think of the "Inspector Detector" from the few times the two have met. If anything, he's quite eccentric.
- Enemies
- Borborygm - Like a fly to a toad, Atomac first encountered this changed man in much the same way: by ending up inside his stomach. While his actions were initially manipulated by a force beyond his control, the nature of Borborygm's abilities may lure him again to villainy.
RP Prompts
- Atomac enjoys hanging out with other heroes, no matter their age or origin. Usually, he'll end up actively showing off his powers during the get-together at some point.
- He can be seen in Carl's Gym as either his heroic or civilian identity.

Trivia
- Ralph is still a big fan of soccer, though it doesn't come up much in conversation.
