HISTORY 

Thin and short in stature, the young Peter Blake made the ironclad decision never to be humiliated again because of his poor physical condition and that is why he trained tirelessly for years, becoming the living representation of human physical perfection. However, defeating his abusers and his own inner demons was not enough. Fighting those who abuse the weakest was the most logical next step. Blake became a mystery man, whom the newspapers nicknamed "The Cyclone", for his frenetic way of taking on entire gangs of evildoers and defeating them. Cyclone was part of the Crime Busters and also the Battle Squadron. 

POWERS & WEAPONS 

The Cyclone may be short, but he makes up for it with his peak human strength, speed and agility. As if his supreme physical condition were not enough, Peter is also an exceptional fighter, trained primarily in Jiu-Jitsu, and an unparalleled acrobat.

HISTORY 

Drew Lane was the son of Professor Winthrop Lane and Geraldine 'Jerry' Kennedy, the daughter of Arlene Louchran and Raymond Kennedy Jr., better known as the former super-villain Radior the X-Ray Powerman. Jerry Kennedy lost her parents and was raised by Peter Blake, aka Cyclone. She studied science in college and it was there, in college, where she met Wint Lane, who would be her husband and father of Drew. When Drew was still a little boy he lost his mother in strange circumstances, so he was raised by his father alone, with a little help from "Uncle" Pete. The boy grew up and developed special abilities, due to the genetic inheritance of his grandfather. One day, while his father was conducting tests on him, the laboratory was raided by agents of a foreign nation. Davens, Drew's father's lab assistant, had sold them. The assailants intended to kidnap the young man. To avoid his son being taken away, Wint activated an explosive, killing himself and the criminals, but leaving his son alive. Drew was found by a woman, Myrna, who offered herself to help him, even though she was actually another agent. Myrna led Drew to her leader, the commander of a rogue submarine. They planned to use the atomic power that Drew possessed to take over the world. Drew was forced to use that power to destroy the submarine and thus neutralize the threat. In the wake of these events, Drew made the decision to become the Atom Wizard to honor the memory of his father, fighting the forces of evil. Drew joined other sons and descendants of members of the Crime Busters to form the Young Heroes Alliance. 

He and his teammate Alana Silversides, aka She-Wolf, began dating shortly after joining the team. 

POWERS & WEAPONS 

Drew possesses most of his grandfather's powers (superhuman strength, invulnerable to damage, energy projection and X-ray vision) with the exception of the ability to fly.
