Rip Regan gained superhuman powers by wearing the power jacket created by his friend Dr. Austin. Austin's inspiration for creating the power jacket was Atoma's combat suit, Austin's associate at Atoma Solutions, Barbara 'Bobbi' Powell. Without a secret identity to protect her, enemies often sought to steal the source of Atoma's powers and that's where Regan came in as Atoma's bodyguard. But Rip not only protected the interests of Atoma Solutions, he also used the powers of the jacket to fight evil and uphold justice.
