Background:
Movie series. The Atomic Skull was a science fiction movie series produced by National Film Studios. The main storyline was of how the hero Joe Martin, the Atomic Skull, fought his enemy Dr Electron. The Atomic Skull would fight the Rocket Man who was a minion of Electron and the fiancée of the Skull's love interest (Zelda). The series would have remained a hidden classic if it had not been for the tragic events that followed.

Background:
A student called Joseph Martin became enamored with the hero whom he shared a name. When the Dominators detonated their Gene Bomb it showed Martin had the metagene. When he was on the receiving end of a massive energy discharge it activated the metagene transforming him into a likeness of his hero (transparent flesh and skin). Mentally unhinged he now believes himself to be the Atomic Skull from the movie series. He relives the series by fixating on an element and playing out the story (e.g. he once saw Lois Lane as Zelda and battled Superman thinking that he was Rocket Man).
