Atomic Mouse is a 1953 American talking-animal superhero created by Al Fago for Charlton Comics. In the comic backstory the mouse Cimota is shrunk by an evil wizard and given U-235 pills by Professor Invento, granting him unspecified superpowers which he uses to fight enemies such as Count Gatto.

Origin

According to the comic-book biography, Cimota Mouse (the name 'atomic' spelled backwards) was an ordinary mouse who was shrunk to the size of an atom by an evil wizard. In that circumstance Professor Invento gives him U-235 pills which grant him superpowers; with those powers Cimota (Atomic Mouse) fights for justice against villains such as Count Gatto. The origin is presented as a mid-20th-century comic narrative combining fantasy (the wizard) and pseudo-science (U-235 pills).

Appearance

Atomic Mouse is depicted as an anthropomorphic, talking mouse in a superhero costume on mid-20th-century comic covers. Sources describe him in cover imagery defeating foes (for example Count Gatto) and note visual references to atomic imagery and U-235 pills as part of his origin; specific costume colors or emblem details are not consistently documented in the cited texts. Later reprints and revivals exist but the provided sources do not give precise, consistent details of redesigned appearances.

Abilities

The comics state that Professor Invento's U-235 pills grant Cimota unspecified superpowers which he uses to fight evil. Sources describe him as a talking, reasoning anthropomorphic mouse who functions as a superhero protagonist. The provided materials do not enumerate specific powers (for example flight, invulnerability, or strength) beyond the general designation 'superpowers.'
