Powers and Abilities:

Atom M* has the ability to atomize his physical structure, meaning that he can split into two half sized duplicates, four quarter sized duplicates or even a billion billionth sized duplicates. On a larger scale this lets his create a swarm of miniature identical Atom M*'s but on a smaller scale his can arrange his microscopic selves into a pseudo-atomic arrangement allowing himself to mimic particular elements or materials. For example he can rearrange his atom sized duplicates to that he forms a lattice giving the properties of a solid block of material.

Background:

Singularities are bizarre structures that do not follow the laws of physics as we know them. They lie at the centre of black holes and it is postulated that can potentially be gateways to other universes or entire universes of their own. In one reality an unknown scientist studying the effects of superstrings accidentally caused such a singularity to appear and was able to catch it in a temporary suppresser field for study. The strange radiation altered him granting him the ability to atomize his physical structure. Unfortunately the suppresser field and the singularity were unstable and threatened to expand and destroy the entire universe unless the team of scientists acted. The plan was to send the scientist into the singularity in the form of a stable element to investigate it and possibly neutralize it. However once pass the suppresser field he found himself on an interdimensional bridge between universes and could do nothing as his dimension collapsed behind him.

The scientist was met at the other end of the dimensional bridge by Superman Prime who apologized that even he wasn't quick enough to save the other universe. Now stranded in the universe of the Justice Legion A the super powered scientist took the name Atom M* and dedicated his life to searching for the remnants of his own universe (which he suspected had been quietly absorbed into our universe) and the woman he loved. On his adventures he met the Justice Legion A and helped them battle the Bizarro-Legion. Those actions won him a nomination into the ranks of the Justice Legion A.
