"Let's just talk about this bomb. So, what do you know about that?"
"Nothing. Just that the slightest impact causes it to split the tiniest unit of matter in half, which makes a big noise."
Deke Shaw and Snowflake[src]

The Atom Bomb is an explosive that has enough power to destroy everything within a two hundred mile radius.

History[]

In an attempt to kill Izel and exterminate her Shrike, Sarge planned on detonating the Atom Bomb near the Shrike Tower, disregarding the collateral damage that it would cause. He hid the Atom Bomb in his truck, and waited for the Shrike to build their tower before launching his truck at full speed towards the tower, hoping that the impact of the vehicle would detonate the bomb and destroy the Shrike and Izel.

However, Sarge's plan was discovered by S.H.I.E.L.D., who had formed an uneasy alliance with him. Agents Daisy Johnson and Melinda May, as well as Deke Shaw, who had boarded his truck to help him fight Izel, discovered the existence of the bomb. Since they were unable to prevent Sarge from leaving his truck through the Spray Paint Transporter after locking the truck on auto-pilot towards the tower, the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, assisted by Snowflake who had been left behind by Sarge, were able to find the bomb and tasked Shaw with defusing it.[1]

However, despite his engineering abilities, Shaw found himself unable to disable the Atom Bomb. As the truck neared the Shrike Tower, Johnson got the idea of using her powers to protect the bomb from the impact, isolating it under a sphere of vibrations which prevented the bomb from detonating. The undetonated bomb was later reclaimed by Jaco, another member of Sarge's squad, and brought aboard the Lazy Comet through the Spray Paint Transporter, where it exploded, destroying the spacecraft while it was still in space as well as killing Jaco and several Shrike hosts.[2]

Capabilities[]

As an atomic device, the bomb had formidable destructive capabilities. S.H.I.E.L.D.'s investigation revealed that the detonation of the bomb would have left a 200-mile wide crater and would have killed hundreds of thousands of people living in a city located near the place where the Shrike Tower had been erected.
