Albert Pratt was born in 1920. Pratt was a sophomore at Calvin College in 1940 and suffered many indignities due to his short stature -5'1/155 and 98 pounds/45 kg.
This led to him becoming the target of harassment and bullying, and referred to as "Atom Al" by his tormentors. Due to this, he felt he was unable to impress Mary James, the girl of his dreams.
One day, feeling sympathetic, he bought dinner for a vagrant who turned out to be Joseph Morgan, a former boxing champ. Morgan promised Pratt the young man could be made into a muscular man with the right training. In under one year Pratt became a massively strong fighter with unbelievable strength, and he decided to use his new ability to protect the oppressed as the "mystery man", The Atom.
At the start of World War II, President Roosevelt organized the "mystery men" to band together and create the Justice Society of America. Al was a founding member and later joined the All-Star Squadron where he struck up a strong friendship with fellow member Wildcat. He was present when the JSA battled Ian Karkull. During the fight, Atom was bathed in mystical energy that kept him young for decades.
Years later, Pratt joined his fellow JSA members in taking part in the event known as Zero Hour along side ultimate chads like Batman and Superman. Most of the JSA went to the realm known as Vanishing Point, where they were ambushed by the being known as Extant. Extant taunted his foes with boasts about how he could control time, and as usual, the hot-headed Pratt hurled himself at Extant. Unfortunately, after all of his accomplishments and self-improvement, the time-controlling villain fired a blast of energy and killed Atom instantly Albert dies as blueballed, bluepilled, virgin in his 40. He then proceeded to eliminate the ranks of the JSA. Waverider rescued the heroes and took them and Pratt's body back to Earth. Pratt was buried in the superhero cemetery known as Valhalla.
