Stuart Goddard was born an only child, in Marylebone, London. Concern for oppressed minorities—one of the themes he used in his later work—was part of his heritage; he is of partial Romani descent. His maternal grandfather, Walter Albany Smith, was Romanichal. Home was two rooms in De Walden buildings, St John's Wood. He recalls: "There was no luxury, but there was always food on the table." His father, Leslie Goddard, had served in the Royal Air Force and worked as a chauffeur and his mother, Betty Kathleen Smith, was an embroiderer for Norman Hartnell.

Atom Ant (originally voiced by Howard Morris, then by Don Messick in later episodes) is a superhero ant who operated out of an anthill in the countryside, where he possessed such things as a mainframe computer and exercise equipment. His powers mostly consisted of the ability to fly, superspeed, incredible strength, and invulnerability. His catchphrase was "Up and at 'em, Atom Ant!" He was often contacted by the police, who sent him out on an assignment.
Some of these missions parodied the missions of Batman. The police force was constantly shown to be underfunded and inept, as they relied on Atom Ant to do all their police work. As seen in "Nobody's Fool," the only two police officers were the chief of police and deputy chief. The department only possessed one rusted patrol car. Atom Ant fights various villains including recurring ones like Ferocious Flea (voiced by Don Messick) and mad scientist Professor Von Gimmick.

He has a friend, Harlan Keyes (Frankie Faison), an old army friend of his father's, who is always there for him. Because of his condition, Adam has difficulty communicating with others and likes to escape into his love of space exploration. His fixation on detail, repetitive behaviors, and mind-blindness cost him his job at a toy manufacturing company and nearly get him arrested after he is mistaken for a pedophile. He does not want to leave the apartment he and his father had been living in, but the loss of his job leaves him with an uncertain future, including the problem of continuing to pay the mortgage. Although he has Asperger syndrome and likes to stick to his own routine, avoiding socializing with others, Adam is lonely and wishes things could be different.

Give me a hope
To be alone
I want arms around
I want arms around
It'll be all right
You can be sure
Don't crease that perfect cote d'azure
Soul Pirate, drifting in a sea of bliss (oh)
Soul Pirate, get your Headgear around this (wooawoo wooawoo wooawoo-oh)
Don't close the door
Into your heart
I want arms around
I want arms around
If what you want, aint what you get.. intoxicating silhouette
Soul Pirate, drifting in a sea of bliss (oh)
Soul Pirate, get your Headgear around this (wooawoo wooawoo wooawoo-oh)
So all you grieve, 'cause your own hope and exile
Will emphasise your livewire
Sophisticated, daring it balances what you're wearing
The likes of you, a Brummel, we will not see again
To polish the soles of your shoes with bouvac and champagne
You let her go three whole times
I want arms around
I want arms around
Just be yourself, embodied Empresses
Just wave that spangled wand of yours and glamour is!
Soul Pirate, drifting in a sea of bliss (oh)
Soul Pirate, get your Headgear around this (wooawoo wooawoo wooawoo-oh)
Get you headgear around this
Get you headgear around this
Get you headgear around this (wooawoo wooawoo wooawoo-oh)
