Synopsis: Atomicus, who is new to life on earth, takes a secret identity in order to learn more about life and to be near Irene. She misinterprets his intentions and endlessly tries to prove his secret identity, in the manner of the Silver Age relationship of Lois Lane and Superman. She finally drives the exasperated hero from earth, disgracing herself in the eyes of the public.
