What we know is that he is powerful and/or cool enough to be wanted by a ten-year-old with a short attention span. That said, his name conjures up images of atomic power - the most powerful and devastating facet of which is undoubtedly the atomic bomb. Such weapons have extreme explosive force and also generate a lot of heat, with the additional nasty side effect of radiation. A single one can level a city.

Is that actually what he does? No telling. The name could refer to atoms in a different sense. One theory is that he can manipulate individual atoms. This would theoretically give him the ability to create objects out of raw materials by assembling atoms, or create different elements by rearranging the protons within atoms. If he could split atoms, he could generate the effect described above. And that's just the beginning.

There is no telling what he looks like. There is a pretty good fan-made image that is used on some fan sites, if you're into that kind of thing.
