Doctor Solar, Man of the Atom

Jim Shooter revived the classic Gold Key hero for an ambitious eight-issue Dark Horse run from 2010 to 2011. With art by Roger Robinson, Dennis Calero, and Michael Komarck, this modern take explores a nuclear physicist who gains staggering energy-manipulating powers after a lab accident. It’s a thoughtful, science-grounded superhero saga that respects the character’s Silver Age roots while pushing into darker, more complex territory.
