I see a lot of misinformation about this show going around. This show was originally pitched as a sequel to Astro Boy, but evolved into its own thing during development. Which I think is for the best, since Mars literally being a rebuilt version of Atom "but better" kind of puts him in a precarious position that I think fans wouldn't have liked. Especially since his personality was so different from Atom even as early as in the pitch.
