The Atom

The Atom is a Legendary character in DC: Dark Legion. The Atom's role is Warrior. Faction: Justice League, Teen Titans.

On the combined DC: Dark Legion tier list The Atom is D tier, 30th of the 36 characters ranked, from where 2 community tier lists put The Atom.

A Warrior who goes out with a bang either way. His ultimate hits every enemy for 1100% plus 5000 flat damage and stuns them for 2 seconds, but he leaves the battle after casting it, and if he's defeated first he still blasts nearby enemies for 700% plus 2500 with another stun.

The Atom's full name is Ray Palmer.

Ray Palmer was a graduate student in physics at Ivy University when he discovered a white dwarf star fragment that had fallen to Earth.

Testing a theory, Ray ground a lens from the fragment and focused ultraviolet light through it to shrink objects to a tiny fraction of their size.

But the items were unstable and exploded soon after.

Days later, Ray and others were trapped in a cave-in.

Ray used the lens to shrink himself, thinking he'd have time to slip through small openings and save the others before he exploded.

Surprisingly, he didn't explode, even after using the lens to return to normal size.

He developed tech to control his mass as well as his size.

Theorizing a unique genetic quirk (the metagene) let him survive the process, Ray adopted the heroic identity of The Atom.

The Atom battled criminals, aliens, and other extranormal threats, at times working with the CIA.

The luck-manipulating villain Amos Fortune tried to use the Atom in a plot against the Justice League, but The Atom helped thwart the plan and became one of the earliest non-founding heroes to join the team.

The Atom also had several adventures involving time travel, including facing the villain Chronos and helping his colleague Professor Hyatt conduct experiments with the Time Pool, a tiny portal that provided access to other eras.

The Atom frequently teamed up with Hawkman and Hawkgirl, becoming good friends.

He also met the Golden Age Atom on a few occasions.

Ray became one of the first members of the Justice League to marry when his longtime girlfriend, lawyer Jean Loring, accepted his proposal.

After years of Ray and Jean growing apart due to him being on mission as The Atom and her being busy with work, Jean feel in love with a work colleague, Paul Hoben.

Before they could take steps to save their marriage, a research flight Ray was on in the Amazon jungle crashed.

Ray was presumed dead, but in reality, he had been trapped at a height of six inches (the size he shrank to trying to survive the crash) due to an electric jolt.

Ray was captured by tiny aliens, the Katarthans, who'd been trapped on Earth.

Ray allied with a resistance force against the cruel leader and developed romantic feelings for Princess Laethwen.

In a final battle for the palace, an ancient star-drive was activated and, because it was powered by a white dwarf star fragment, caused Ray to grow to his normal size.
