History
Little is known of Captain Adam. He is probably linked to the Captain Atom of his home universe. However, he is also described as a "Quantum Superman", and he is considered by the Monitors to be his world's equivalent of Superman.
During the events of Final Crisis, he was recruited by Monitor Zillo Valla to fight Mandrakk the Dark Monitor; however, he was on board her ship when it was attacked by the destroyer Echo of Midnight, and only his use of the infinite navigation computer was enough to save the rest of the group by crash-landing on Earth-51. There he shrugged off the insults of Ultraman, and investigated the damage to the ship.
Powers and Abilities
Powers
Powers are mostly unknown, but he has the ability to change his own size and levitate
Abilities
He possesses amazing mental abilities; on one occasion, he interfaced with a computer built by a Monitor and reading 100 yottabytes (one septillion or 1024 bytes) of information in a short time. He also possesses "quantum-sense", making him capable of knowing potentially everything.
A second facet of the quantum-sense is that he possesses no natural divisions in his perception of time, perceiving the past and the present while rambling in the present.
Strength level
Unknown
Weaknesses
His quantum-senses are overpowering, and to talk to linear beings he takes an unknown drug which suppresses them; however, when the drug wears off his system reasserts itself. Tachyon energy fields may affect his senses in the same way.

Transportation: None, but can levitate; is possibly capable of teleportation or flight under his own power
