Biography
After Noisy Boy was destroyed, Charlie Kenton needed a new robot, so he and Max Kenton went to a junkyard to salvage parts to create a new robot. After Max fell off a hill and got snagged on a robot arm, he discovered that it was an entire robot. Max used a hook connected to their cart to hoist up Atom out of the ditch. Later, Max cleaned off Atom to discover his name written on his chest. After lots of begging from Max, Charlie agreed to take Atom to The Zoo to fight. Max got Atom a fight with Metro, and after taking a pounding in the first round, Atom dodged his previous downfall, and with a quick double uppercut, Atom gave Metro a system malfunction, and won $2,000.
A bystander invited the two to a fight, and Atom went on a winning streak. After defeating robots such as Black Top, Six Shooter and more, they finally got invited to an official WRB fight with Twin Cities. Despite the fact that the opponent's technology was much more advanced, Atom won yet again, and Max challenged Zeus to a fight.
At the fight, despite suffering an initial disavantage, Atom mananged, round after round, to effectively fight back and even almost knocking him out. However, at the end of Round 4, Zeus damaged Atom's vocal control, and Max convinces his father to use his Shadow Mode, allowing Atom to use the moves of whoever controls him. At the start of the final Round, Charlie puts himself on the defensive and lets himself be beaten by Zeus, but once the latter runs out of energy, he easily turns on the tables and even managed to knock down the King of the Robots. Yet, the ring bells and Zeus still stands, and the judges vote for a close victory for the latter, yet Atom is the moral winner of the match, and he's nominated the People's Champion.
