On an interesting note, Doctor Solar didn't get a superhero costume until the 5th issue of his comic. Furthermore, "Doctor Solar" was his 'real' or 'civilian' name. When he went into action, he was known as "The Man of the Atom". His costume was intended to shield others from his radiation. Also, when he went into action and 'powered up', his skin turned green.
