Palmer then adapted his shrinking technology to a costume, and used it to fight crime as The Atom. Much to his surprise, he discovered that he could safely use the beam on himself, complete with being able to easily resume his normal size, without any side effect. Palmer determined the beam was too unstable to be used, but he was compelled to use it on himself one time to rescue people trapped in a cave. However, he ascertained that the subject exposed to the beam would explode soon after being shrunk. Raymond Palmer was a physicist and university professor who devised a reducing ray using a fragment of white dwarf star matter. The Atom (DC / Injustice) BIO: Ryan Choi is the fourth super-hero to call himself the Atom, an Asian-American physics professor with the ability to shrink himself to subatomic levels. Warner Home Videos release of The Atom, The Flash, Green Lantern, Hawkman, Justice League of America and Teen Titans was called DC Super Heroes: The Filmation Adventures. The Atom (Ray Palmer) was created by Gardner Fox and Gil Kane, and first featured in Showcase #34 (Sep-Oct 1961). However, whilst he has shrunken himself, he retains all of his physical strength that he has at his normal size, making him seem surprisingly super strong. This ability is not restricted to him, as he is also capable of reducing the size of other people or objects he is in contact with. The Atom possessed a belt that can shrink and grow his body to varying degrees, including the subatomic level. The Atom was one of many Leaguers who leaped into action to combat Darkseid's second invasion of Earth. Unfortunately, he was incapacitated by Galatea, who was set on blowing up the reactor, and the Watchtower and the League with it. When the Watchtower was temporarily shut down by an accidental discharge of its Binary Fusion Generator, the Atom worked in the reactor room, trying to shorten the time needed to reboot the system. In the aftermath of Superman and Captain Marvel's titanic fight over Lexor City, the Atom examined a device that Superman had been suspicious of (since it incorporated Kryptonite), and reported that it appeared to be completely benign, as Lex Luthor had insisted it was. Instead, he interrupted its flow of liquified matter feeding its nano-assemblers with raw materials-much in the same way a blocked artery stops the flow of blood to the heart and induces a heart attack. The Nathaniel Adams Captain Atom was introduced in 1986 he would eventually join the Justice League and is a. ) When DC Comics acquired the Charlton characters in the 1980s, Captain Atom was slowly integrated into the DC Universe. After shrinking to microscopic size, he was able to enter the machine and discern its programming and purpose, but was unable to destroy its control center. Captain Atom is a DC Comics character who actually originated from rival Charlton Comics (like the Question. The Atom's expertise was of vital importance when the League was menaced by the Dark Heart, an alien war machine based on nanotechnology. He was created by Roy Thomas and Jerry Ordway and debuted in All-Star Squadron 25. He has the power of growth and immense super strength. When Amazo proved resistant to even that, the Atom shrunk both himself and Luthor down to the subatomic level as a last resort. Albert 'Al' Rothstein is a fictional superhero from DC Comics.

When Amazo returned to Earth, the Atom, using his expertise in nanotechnology, helped Lex Luthor build a nano-disassembler beam cannon that would stop the android. Īfter the Thanagarian invasion, the Atom joined the expanded Justice League. His scientific work into white dwarf star matter was known to Vandal Savage, who attempted to use it to build a superweapon. Ray Palmer was an an expert physicist at a prestigious Boston university.
