The thing is, Captain Atom is too powerful for most writers. Captain Atom is the "bigger fish". He can keep up with speed force Barry Allen, and even remove his speed force. He can out transmute Firestorm. Hit almost as hard as Superman. He is also resistant against magic. Even if you "kill" him, he'll eventually reform. Might take a millenia but he'll eventually be back. Because of this, writers usually just have him defeated early on to get him out of the story and to show how powerful the villain is. Lastly, for anyone wondering, it was recently stated that he is indeed more powerful than Superman.

[@SakuraiHikari15]

The main reason that the DC Comics era of Captain Atom is so underrated by people mostly boils down to the writers half the time forgetting the characterization they gave him. Originally he was a government agent with a fake cover story as a superhero to be used as a mole for the US government in the Justice League, in order to make sure the superheroes always acted in the country’s best interests. However the Good Captain was such a genuinely nice and helpful guy that he just became a superhero for real and made it perfectly clear he would side with the Justice League if it was the moral choice. Unfortunately half the writers of him at DC instead use him as a bootlicker of the government and resident strawman military hardass. Then the adaptations almost always just make him nuclear powered, when his comics version is instead quantum powered with the nuclear radiation just a byproduct. The adaptations also leave out the fact that even without his powers he is canonically equal to Batman in terms of fighting ability (plus he manages to go equal with Batman without fighting anywhere near as dirty as Bats does).

Blame the writers, they always want Superman to win

[@venicethehedgehog4122]

Thats not how that would work super mans got 40 years of solar energy built into him thats not gonna go away in the span of a few hours

[@AngieCarr]

I love that although Atom has went against the JL on orders from the Government he is still considered a JL member. Remember when Superman whooped his a$$ and then told the government goons, “Don’t touch him!!! He’s Justice League.”…

[@kermitgotthesickkicks4265]

Yo I'm watching that episode legit right now lol

[@gadafy8334]

Lol why did I think the Canada leaf symbol was on his chest

[@godsassassin3733]

When bro went in on Superman with only headbutts I both pitied and respected him at the same time.

[@mr.ashenfire2624]

Captain Atom deserves his own series. Could be interesting having a Military-Oriented supe on the screen who isnt Captain America.

[@bobbyavitia]

A reminder that Dr. Manhattan was inspired by Captain Atom.

[@pheonixsoldier]

Definitely loved him in JLU. Dude is literally a walking, talking nuke in a suit. Even after his fight with Superman, Supes said "Naw don't touch him. He's still with us."

[@Valiant06]

Batman had to resist the urge to use the "Captain Atom Suppression File" when he did the boom

[@PedroPerez-mh6hs]

Day 109 of asking: Have you seen the comic series 5 years later by the Ink Tank, and if so, what are your thoughts?

[@yeetthebeatout6906]

My favorite part was that after he lost his powers and was put in a simulation to make sure he can still fight, Batman would hit him him with the “Boom, you’re dead” line every time he failed

[@tjcolemanthewriter2486]

Same with Firestorm. He's one of the power houses of The Justice League. Also, he's majorly underrated and underused.

[@rastaatrethagoddon2172]

Captain Atom has all that power & damn near losing every fight he way to coccy that his problem always innna wrong until tha last min

[@kermitgotthesickkicks4265]

Then he always turns into a nuclear bomb in the end

[@user-mp8sj2iv9c]

Captain atom and major force are the most underrated duo in dc comics

[@disasterleo8883]

Forgot to show the part where Batman immediately doxxed him and in the same episode has a mental breakdown over not being able to open a jar of pickles

[@royalharris2980]

He is so underrated it’s sad that people don’t talk about him in debates

[@YoungStroker_TheBodySnatcher]

“Boom your dead, BOOM your dead again” 😂😂

[@samueljrhlorgbe6091]

The Batman who luaghs: no your place fool 😈🔥🔥👿

[@wesleywaddell959]

Hes one of the goats

[@SomeScruffian]

Not that time in Flashpoint Paradox where Capitan Atom was used as a literal atomic bomb. Bro was demoted from hero to plot device 💀

[@milutinstankovic4638]

"Well, except for Batman." "Say what?!" "Excuse me?"

[@HBstudios2005]

The "boom" part is why I never understood Batmans prep time since if Superman or the Flash turned evil, they could just kill Batman in seconds before he could do anything

[@guts1952]

I still like how Batman counter argument was basically doxxing bro told him his Ip address and everything

[@austinmccormick8952]

Another good justice league fight was when Superman thought Lex was hiding a bomb and Sups was searching like a mad dog, destroying stuff. So Shazam fights him. It was pretty even from what I recall

[@noir-214]

During that "boom" moment I was expecting batman to grab him by the arm and flip him upside-down but he didn't because he maybe act like he doesn't care about everyone around him he does

[@champloo9]

He definitely seems like an interesting character to me.
