Powers and Abilities
During his early days of crime fighting, Pratt possessed no superhuman qualities, instead being a particularly adept combatant with a strength level disproportionate to his size. After being exposed to Cyclotron's energies, Al Pratt gained superhuman strength, being able to focus radioactive energy into a punch. Atom possessed superhuman stamina, enhanced speed, and enhanced durability in addition to being invulnerable to forms of radiation. He also gained incredible youth and vitality after the battle with Ian Karkull.
The current version of Al Pratt has gained size-changing powers similar to Atom Smasher and also manifests atomic fields round his hands similar to the original Al.

Famous quotes containing the words powers and/or abilities:
“I have come slowly into possession of such powers as I have ... I receive the opinions of my day. I do not conceive them. But I receive them into a vivid mind.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“Your friends praise your abilities to the skies, submit to you in argument, and seem to have the greatest deference for you; but, though they may ask it, you never find them following your advice upon their own affairs; nor allowing you to manage your own, without thinking that you should follow theirs. Thus, in fact, they all think themselves wiser than you, whatever they may say.”
—William Lamb Melbourne, 2nd Viscount (1779–1848)
