The Original Doctor Solar, Man of the Atom #1

In "Solar's Secret," Doctor Solar finds his life forever changed when a sabotage attempt during a high-stakes energy experiment leaves him exposed to a deadly radiation overdose—instead of dying, he becomes a living source of atomic power. With the help of Project director Clarkson, Solar must conceal his new, volatile nature while the team at Atom Valley pushes forward with their groundbreaking work.

In "The New Man of the Atom," Doctor Solar, his hair turned white by his own radiation, finally shares his secret with Gail. With her and Clarkson’s help, he designs a masked uniform to conceal his identity and steps into the public spotlight as the Man of the Atom. When Nuro’s men set fire to the prairie in a bid to expose the mysterious hero, Solar answers the call—revealing himself in a moment that will define his new role.
