Joseph Martin was caught in the blast of the Dominators' Gene Bomb. The subsequent radiation endowed him with super strength and radiation-based energy blasts, while also rendering his skin transparent, so that his bones were visible. Martin wandered the streets of Metropolis, where he was set upon by a group of thugs who were unsettled by his appearance. Unable to defend himself, Martin sustained brain damage in the struggle. This damage caused him to begin hallucinating, and he became the Atomic Skull. Under this misapprehension he began fighting Superman, who he perceived as the villain of the film. Superman was able to defeat him, and he was sent to Stryker's Island.
