Creature Commandos Season 2 reportedly to feature a new superhero 

Creature Commandos is gearing up for a thrilling return and it will reportedly introduce of a new superhero. According to reports Captain Atom will feature in a recurring role, marking one of the most high-profile additions to the series since its debut.

While not much is revealed about his character details, his inclusion suggests a broader expansion of the DC Universe’s first animated entry. The version of Captain Atom expected to appear is Nathaniel Adam, the DC Comics iteration introduced in Captain Atom #1 in 1987.

Creature Commandos Season 2 reportedly to feature a new superhero

The character is a brainchild of Cary Bates and Pat Broderick and differs from the character’s original incarnation. The superhero first emerged in 1967 as Allen Adam, a character created by Joe Gill and Steve Ditko for Charlton Comics.

After DC bought Charlton’s characters and folded them into its universe after Crisis on Infinite Earths, Nathaniel Adam became the main version of Captain Atom in DC canon.

In this, Nathaniel Adam is an Air Force officer and Vietnam War veteran who gains his powers after a government experiment went haywire, encasing his body in a metallic shell, and he develops immense nuclear-based abilities.

The incident also warps time sending him decades into the future. In the present timeline, Captain Atom often operates as a government-controlled superhero, a role that places him in morally grey realms and limited freedom.

That positioning fits naturally within the world of Creature Commandos, which centers on state-sanctioned black-ops missions and expendable operatives. Captain Atom has appeared in DC animation before. It has continued to feature in projects such as Justice League Unlimited, Young Justice, and Superman/Batman: Public Enemies. However, Creature Commandos could represent a turning point.

Casting details have not yet been revealed, but DC Studios has hinted that the voice actor may also walk on screen. If that approach is followed here, Captain Atom’s inclusion could quietly lay groundwork for his first live-action appearance in the DCU.

Creature Commando's show potential is important for DC’s current slate. The series was created and written by James Gunn as a passion project before he was appointed co-CEO of DC Studios alongside Peter Safran.

After taking over, Gunn and Safran greenlit the show as the first official installment in the rebooted DC Universe. For season 2, Gunn remains attached as an executive producer, while Dean Lorey, known for Harley Quinn, steps in as writer and showrunner.

The show will consist of a talented voice acting cast:

Main Voice Cast:

• Indira Varma as Bride of Frankenstein
• Frank Grillo as General Rick Flag, Sr.
• David Harbour as Eric Frankenstein
• Alan Tudyk as Doctor Phosphorus (and other roles)
• Zoë Chao as Nina Mazursky
• Sean Gunn as G.I. Robot / Weasel
