How? How doesn't he? I can't believe how horribly some writers make him look sometimes. *cough Loeb cough*

Are you freakin kidding me

Mary Marvel dropped Atom way back when and you think he is a match for Adam

rrriiigghhhtt

Yeah, that was a crap showing and Mary Marvel was bloodlusted while Captain Atom was mind controlled. Good example. 🙄

You also seemed to forget that Captain Atom took down Hal Jordan.

Yeah. BA will destroy him worse than Mary did, and that was brutal.

Mary and Nathan were both mind controlled. There's a reason he attacked her first, ya know.

And again it was an awful showing. A well written Captain Atom really shouldn't be getting beat by flying bricks like Captain Marvel/Black Adam/Superman.

Why is that? He isn't as fast as any of them nor as invulnerable.

And why exactly shouldn't a well written Captain Atom be as fast or as invulnerable considering his Quantum powers make him fast and invulnerable which is unlimited? Not to mention he's a bajillion of times more versatile than them.

A well written CA is kind of pipe dream for the reason stated by Soleran.

I don't really care what his powers mean. Unless he's shown the speed, he doesn't have it. Same goes for durability.

Well then writers aren't as smart as me I guess. smartass 😛 Why would they create a character like that and then have him job all the time? 🤨 It doesn't make sense I tells ya.

Btw, he showed his speed against Hal Jordan.

Atom just has one of those powersets thats hard to nail down to a certain level. That's evidenced in the fact that he's ranged from a punching bag for mid tier bruisers like Power Girl all the way up to universal level.

They need to find a happy median with him. 😬 That's why I was kinda glad when they made the Captain Atom: Armageddon series.

He just got a power-up in Battle for Bludhaven.

Captain Marvel is getting huge upgrade anyway
