Dr. Shanner is a scientist who opposed nuclear warfare and built a nuclear family to show the terrible effect of that power on ordinary people. During the demonstration to military officials, Shanner learned he built his androids too well. They absorbed the blast power of the nuclear bomb detonated and escaped. Professor Martin Stein was among those who attended the demonstration. Several years later, Professor Stein showed Firestorm his memory of the events while he was unconscious following their first encounter with the Nuclear Family.
