As the DCU continues to rumble on with Supergirl, Man of Tomorrow and Clayface all on their way, it looks like another big player in the DC universe is set to debut on the small screen.
We’ve known for almost exactly a year now that Creature Commandos season 2 was coming, and now it seems it will feature a host of new characters, including Captain Atom in a regular role… though what that role is, is unknown as of right now.
According to Nexuspoint News: The version that will appear in the series is Nathaniel Adam iteration of the character which debuted in Captain Atom #1 in 1987 and was created by Cary Bates and Pat Broderick… This iteration of the character is a member of the Air Force and Vietnam War veteran who, after gaining his powers, is sent decades into the future. In the present day, he serves as a hero for the US government. Captain Atom’s body is coated in a metallic substance and is given nuclear powers.
TIDBIT:
While still finding its feet, the DCU, according to Peter Safran, will eventually have an annual output of: 2 live-action films, 1 animated film, 2 live-action series and 2 animated series for HBO Max per year.
The character is no stranger to appearing on the small screen, especially in animated form, as he’s been in Justice League Unlimited, Young Justice and Superman/Batman: Public Enemies.
It will be interesting to see who voices the character because, as James Gunn has said in the past, they will try to hire the same actors to do animation, live-action, and games, so whoever voices him may well appear as the character in live action too.
I’ll keep you up-to-date with news as and when I get it, Nerds and Nerdettes.
Thoughts? I know you have them and I wanna hear ’em all.
You wanted monsters?
You got motherf*ckin’ monsters. From James Gunn, comes the new DC Studios and Max Original Series
Creature Commandos season 2 is currently in production for HBO Max.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
