History: Jack was one of a group of street beatniks who stumbled across an alien spore left behind by Zenelle, an alien female looking to find a mate. The spore caused all of them to mutate, giving them a warty, pustulent appearance. At first they were extremely unhappy with this disfigurement, and blamed their exposure on the hero known as Madman, but eventually Jack discovered the change hadn't ended with their initial appearance alterations. He discovered that his body had become malleable, able to stretch and distort into any shape; in addition, activation of this new power rid him of his lumpy looks. Calling himself Mister Gum (though the press preferred "The Booger"), he decided to become a superhero, and convinced the rest of the mutated beatniks to try activating their powers too. Thus was born the Atomics.
