HISTORY

An agent of the criminal Council (III), Ben Krullen's atomic powers were triggered while serving in Vietnam alongside Joshua Clay. As the powerful Reactron, he fought Power Girl and the Doom Patrol on various occasions. Reactron has been believed dead three times (once after a battle with Power Girl, once after he tried to absorb the Negative Man's Energy Being, and still later during a mission with the Suicide Squad (III) battling the Covenant). Recently, he reappeared once again as a member of the Society of supervillains, and their sub-group, The Nuclear Legion. This time, he was apparently killed by Major Victory (II). Whether Reactron has any regenerative powers and will return to life a fourth time, remains to be seen.

[Note: Pre-Crisis, it was Supergirl, not Power Girl, who fought Reactron.]
