History: Alice Pratt was a scrawny nerd until she bumped into former boxing champ Joe Morgan, now a tramp living in the street. Taking pity on the man, she bought him his first hot meal he had in a while. While the two chatted, a friendship was born and soon Alice was training under Morgan.
Alice had a ulterior motive for the training, however; inspired by the growing mystery men and women scene, Alice donned a makeshift outfit and started fighting crime first around Calvin College. It was there she also encountered the reluctant villain Cyclotron and the Ultra-Humanite. During the fight, Alice was exposed to a massive amount of radiation, which somehow granted her superhuman strength.
During her career she became a founding member of the Justice Society of America. At the request of President Franklin Roosevelt, the Mighty Mite and other JSA members formed the All-Star Squadron. After the teams were forces to disband in the 1950's, Alice retired from super heroics and became a teacher. She now only dons the costume on special occasions, confident to let others carry the mantle (see Atom II and Atom III)
Powers: Super strength, incredible agility, and professional level boxing skills are the Atom's main skills. She is also a genius in the field of nuclear energy. Even after decades of activity her powers have not diminished.
Based on character and concepts created by Bill O'Connor and Ben Flinton
Only a slight change to the main character. I decided to keep the boxing angle, as it does explain how she can fight, but no, Joe Morgan doesn't become a super villain or train half the Golden Age. I decided to streamline her deal a little bit, so she gets powers earlier than in canon. Plus the idea of a short guy who can just punch people always seemed a bit silly when compared the rest of the JSA (powerhouses and the Wrath of God make for strange bedfellows). There will still be a few street level heroes on the JSA, so don't worry about that.
Also, Calvin College here on Earth-25 is a school in Ivy Town, not a separate city.
