Roy Lincoln was a chemist who was helping his father develop super explosive 27-QRX. Enemy agents attacked the laboratory to steal the formula. Roy’s father was killed and Roy was forced to swallow the super explosive liquid. He began to glow, discovering that 27-QRX rendered him bulletproof and gave him an ability to detonate objects with his touch. He made a suit out of “fibro-wax,” which was immune to his explosion power. He wore this to fight crime as the Human Bomb. From his second appearance onward, he wore fibro-wax gloves in his civilian identity to contain his power. To anyone who asked, he said he burnt his hands in a lab accident. In his later adventures, he was assisted by Hustace Throckmorton a.k.a. Thunderfoot, and, later still, by the Bombardiers.
