Jason Aches, while on an air-plane, crashed in a jungle. He was the only survivior, and wandered off and accidentally found the Tomb of Darkallor. The spirit of Darkallor was finally free, and, in return, gave him the power to transform into the Bomb whenever he wants. He said bye to Darkallor's spirit as it passed on to the other side after all these years. Jason used his new powers to go back to Metropolis, his home-town, safely. But now, Bomb is getting harder to keep in, and every night, Jason becomes the legendary Bomb, and seeks to stop crime as the real Bomb promised Darkallor he would several centuries back.
