History

Gerome McKenna was originally from Los Angeles. He dreamed of being chosen to participate in Lex Luthor's Everyman Project. His family showed great support for his aspiration. His father sold his business, his brother dropped out of school, and his mother began working a second job to raise money. Their hard work paid off, and Gerome was selected for the project. This gave him superstrength. He became a member of Luthor's new incarnation of Infinity, Inc as Nuklon.

Powers and Abilities

Powers

• Bio-Fission: Gerome developed a latent metahuman ability to generate doppelgangers of himself through an act of will. Each doppelganger can function independently of the core host. As of yet, it is undetermined how many duplicates of himself Gerome can manifest. Gerome does not appear to suffer any ill effects if one of his duplicates is injured or even killed.

Notes

• In his first appearance, in 52 Week Nine, Gerome McKenna is referred to as "Herakles." This can be read as either an early code name that didn't stick or, as indicated by rough-sketch promotional materials, the original name that 52's writers assigned to him.
