Superhero Origins: The Atom

[@CaptainEggcellent]

Wait a God damn minute, the guy who played Superman plays The Atom?

[@maraudershields116]

It's... It's convoluted...

Marquis de Restam you don't say!

I've just finished Daredevil, are Arrow/Flash as good?

Might you recommend me some comics ? Atom caught my attention

[@Daniel-js2dk]

He's useless

[@SurgeCess]

I prefer Atom over Ant-Man (but I still like Ant-Man) and his stories with the Justice League were incredible. *Paul Hoben* is definitely my favorite incarnation of The Atom though, I loved the "Sword Of The Atom" comics back in the 80's.

[@preston4286]

in my opinion, i like ant man more, bc I think its cool he can talk to ants, and I like the MCU quantum realm better, but hey, your opinion is your opinion

The atom is really underrated, he's actually pretty cool. Super villain origin: Orichimaro(excuse my spelling

[@dynaguy3]

Really cool character. There’s still room for him to have his own movie despite Ant Man already having a trilogy. Atom can travel immensely fast in between data lines like the internet and cell phones. He can also enter the human body to fight infections as well as being one of the smartest people in the world

[@geralt7511]

Marvel fanboys: hahah this guy is a rip off of Ant man reality Atom came before him so that considers ant man= The atom Don´t even try marvel fanboys.

[@pheunithpsychic-watertype9881]

Diandra R he is also a major character in dc's legends of tomorrow.

[@Lem1697]

Atom > Ant-Man Ray Palmer < Hank Pym

[@PeterStellenberg]

Lem1697 I don't know, Hank Pym is a really likeable character but he's deranged and was beating his wife so... Ray on the other hand is witty, charming and uses his powers more interestingly.

[@3rdGenGuy]

Peter Stellenberg that's what makes him so interesting.

[@adrianpandia1934]

SANIC still prefer ray palmer over hank pym.

[@3rdGenGuy]

adrian pandia the ARROW TV show made him a little bitch so,

[@SuperSisby]

Peter Stellenberg He wasn't supposed to purposely hit his wife, I remember watching a video where they explained he was supposed to accidentally hit his wife because of his disorder going out of control (bipolar disorder) and he would look sad and remorseful after. But the artist mistook the notes or something and drew him wrong, leading to him looking like an abusive husband.

Wait wait wait just a second... Are you telling me that the Atom ISN'T just a boring iron man clone???? That he can actually shrink himself??? Are you telling me that Arrow completely fucked up this guy??? This is why I hate TV adaptations sometimes...

[@martin123239]

He can actually shrink in the tv show to, they just barely show him do that.

[@15thCrypt]

They already had the explosion that results in him shrinking, in the legends of tomorrow trailer they said he was presumed dead after the finale because he was too small to see

[@kabitaacharya6409]

He hadn't developed the technology yet. He was still working on it. He'll be back on Legends of Tomorrow and hopefully, he can shrink then.

[@xenocrimge6660]

The shrinking is confirmed for legends of tomorrow, He was still in development phases in Arrow.

[@Matthew-du1ef]

he shrunk himself in Arrow season 4

[@civilwildman]

Sounds like this video's focusing on the Silver Age version of the character, Ray Palmer. There have been a few (if not several) heroes who took that mantle, including one from the Golden Age beforehand.

[@MrXleprechaunx]

***** i'd like to make a correction, for some strange reason i confused the material with a neutron star, though i do think the material would still be dense and heavy, not sure if it's able to be picked up...but a fist-sized piece of neutron star would weigh hundreds of times more than the mass of humanity...SPOOOOKY LANGUAGE

Yup because they are mindless dumb fucks who do no research

[@treverp4938]

It does seem that Mavel 'ripped off' DC . Appearently they both orgininated in New York and had a lot of the same writers in the beggining. I think DC cool with Marvel ripping them off because of writers working together in the beggining. Don't you think DC would have sewed Marvel by now? or did they?

[@treverp4938]

Sued

[@ldiod4374]

+Trever P It doesn't work that way. Also, both companies rip each other off, but DC started it.

[@pheunithpsychic-watertype9881]

Aquaman right?

[@18lin86]

Trever P I'm A DC Fan but It's true DC started the ripoff contest so. if they sued marvel Marvel would have sued aquaman.

Legends of tomorrow ruined this character. The show made him a comedian who never uses his powers. Atom is a master of physics. Screw the TV version.

Wait, this normal quantum physicist just found a piece of white dwarf matter and just pick it up, do you know how heavy and dense the thing is. He already have super strength before he became the atom.

so he's basically antman that gets smaller and doesn't have a suit

No ant man is basically him that gets smaller with a suit, since atom came first
