this hero certainly proves the adage
that good things come in small packages
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we
will explore the comic book origins of
the Adam Adam project update gamma as
with most comic book characters they’re
often reimagining and different versions
to a character’s past we have chosen to
primarily follow the storyline which
unfolded in 1961 s showcase number 34
which was expanded upon in 2010’s
brightest day the Adam special and
2014’s Batman Superman number 10 the
Mighty Mite is known to modern readers
for his incredible ability to shrink
down to subatomic size which he first
began doing in 1961 figure the Android
can’t kill what he can’t see oh but I
can see
but master all going by the name of the
atom dates back to decades earlier the
first atom didn’t have superpowers you
know I’m an expert on nanotechnology he
was merely a short guy named Al prat who
is picked on because of his diminutive
size however after al was trained by a
former boxing champion he became a
muscle-bound crime fighter who packed a
serious punch I’m just gonna be direct
when DC revived the name they made this
version of the atom into a scientist by
the name of Ray Palmer Palmer had
discovered a chunk of a white dwarf star
that had fallen to earth fashioning a
special lens from the white dwarf mater
Palmer was able to shrink objects to a
tiny size unfortunately they all
exploded during the process Palmer took
a break from his experiments to go on a
nature Club hike with his fiance Jean
Loring unfortunately a sudden cave-in
threatened to trap and doom them all
Palmer located tiny hole using the
special lens which he had brought along
with him
he shrank himself so that he could
maneuver through the hole and then
enlarged it
he also reversed the shrinking process
before he met the explosive fate of his
earlier experiments after all had
escaped Palmer theorized that water that
dropped on the lens in the cave must
have somehow kept him from exploding but
when he tried shrinking other objects
with the same water on the lens
they also exploded Palmer decided that
there must be some mysterious force in
his own body that kept him from blowing
up soon after Palmer created a special
costume that would become invisible and
intangible when he was normal size but
that suddenly appeared around him when
he Trank he also created a special belt
to control the rate of his shrinkage as
well as to adjust his weight up and down
as he desired armed with these new tools
the atom began his heroic adventures I
know he’s down here somewhere
could be pretty small by now a bit more
background was injected into the
character in 2010 readers learned that
Palmer had a brother Danny who had
bullied him Ray’s firefighter father
favored Danny over the bookish ray but
Ray’s Uncle Dave encouraged his
scientific curiosity as an adult
Danny followed in his father’s footsteps
becoming a firefighter firefighting is
dangerous work however and Danny lost
his life in the line of duty at college
ray found a mentor in professor Hyatt
who was instrumental in ray locating the
white dwarf star that gave him his
powers also in this version Palmer
became the atom to rescue a firefighter
trapped in a cave-in
thus relating to his brother there have
been others who have assumed the role of
the atom as well a man named Adam Cray
took on the guise for a short time as
day
physics student Ryan Choi but when DC’s
new 52 restarted the Adams career it was
again as Ray Palmer in this version
Palmer is working for the secret
government organization known as shade
he makes his first appearance as the
atom when Superman enlists him to help
battle of microscopic threat in Batman’s
body Adam had a colossal brain at a
right hook to match the atom has been
proving for decades that size doesn’t
matter and the bigger they are the
harder they fall
I just inverted your exponential
integral does it hurt the Mighty Mite as
he is sometimes called might not always
stand very tall
but his actions make him a giant among
men and he has appeared alongside the
Justice League in 2004’s Justice League
Unlimited hello Superman what brings you
to Boston are you a fan of the atom for
more comic book origins be sure to
subscribe to watchmojo.com you have to
get me to the main ship I have to go
inside that thing and reprogram it
