Season 2 of the DC Universe\u2019s first project, Creature Commandos, is currently in production and set to introduce several new characters. Sources tell Nexus Point News that one major character that will be featured in this upcoming season is Captain Atom.<\/p>\n

The nature of his role is currently unknown, but he is set to be a recurring character in this upcoming season. The version that will appear in the series is Nathaniel Adam iteration of the character which debuted in Captain Atom #1<\/a> in 1987 and was created by Cary Bates and Pat Broderick. The character originally was known as Allen Adam and was created for Charlton Comics in 1967 by Joe Gill and Steve Ditko. After Charlton was purchased by DC Comics and its characters were integrated into the universe following Crisis on Infinite Earths, DC introduced Nathaniel. 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\u2019s body is coated in a metallic substance and is given nuclear powers.<\/p>\n

Captain Atom has appeared in several animated films and shows over the years, most notably in Justice League Unlimited, Young Justice, and Superman\/Batman: Public Enemies. It is currently unknown who will voice the character in Creature Commandos, but the casting may determine if Captain Atom reappears in live action down the line, a first for the character.<\/p>\n

Creature Commandos was created and written by James Gunn as a passion project prior to the creation of the DCU and was greenlit by him and Peter Safran after they were appointed heads of the newly formed DC Studios. Gunn will remain an executive producer on the series but the series will now feature Dean Lorey (Harley Quinn) as writer and showrunner for season 2. The series debuted on December 5, 2024 on HBO Max.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The titular team is made up of the Bride (Indira Varma), G.I. Robot (Sean Gunn), Weasel (Sean Gunn), Doctor Phosphorus (Alan Tudyk), Nina Mazursky (Zoe Chao), and Rick Flag Sr. (Frank Grillo). The series also features Frankenstein (David Harbour), Amanda Waller (Viola Davis), and Anya Chalotra (Circe). Season 2 of the series will feature King Shark, Nosferata, and Khalis as members of the team. Creature Commandos\u00a0follows the events of season 1 of Peacemaker\u00a0where Waller\u2019s crimes are exposed and Task Force X has been shut down, so her work around is using nonhuman inmates to carry out black ops missions for ARGUS.\u00a0<\/p>\n
