Justice Society[edit | hide]
At some point, Al Pratt joined the Justice Society of America as Atom Smasher, and worked alongside other heroes like Carter Hall and Kent Nelson. Pratt eventually retired from vigilantism, but remained in contact with his teammates.[1][2]
Aspiring Hero[edit | hide]
In 2022, Pratt's nephew, Al Rothstein, aspired to take on the mantle of Atom Smasher and called Pratt for guidance. Pratt was reluctant to let his nephew out to the field, though was convinced otherwise when Rothstein proved himself to be determined. Pratt later gifted Rothstein his original costume and gave him his blessing to be the second Atom Smasher.[1]
Rothstein was soon recruited by Hall to join the Justice Society's mission in Kahndaq. On his ride, Pratt called Rothstein and reminded him to take care of the vintage costume as well as his own safety, emphasizing on the importance of listening to Hall's leadership.[2]
