In the past that could be the case but present Atom is not only capable
of absorbing massive amount of energy, but is also able to time jump at will..

Here his max out absorbtion ability that the excess source energy seeks other vessels, no time jumping.. Shows his able to control the amount of energy being transfered, but did not have the capacity to take it all..

He doesnt even need to absorb it unto himself but rather transfer it directly to the field.. This way he can absorb energy as quickly as he want without the danger of time jumping..
Even if the absorbtion is slow it still weakens the opponent and adding more power to him, therefore another points for him..
He is able to tap the quantum feild,track Jonn and prepare a counter-attack?maybe if Jonn were standing still for the exchange.All that has been shown is Atom has good travel speed,nowhere has he shown reflexes on the level to block a blitz from Jonn,as Jonn HAS shown the reflexes.
http://img345.imageshack.us/my.php?image=172mp.jpgHis able to enhance himself via quantum field, his shown to do these with strength, speed and hearing. Its only fair to assume thats his capable of doing this to his reflexes.. How else could he hang out to the likes of Magestic, Hal or this guy

Not only his able to assist the situation but act as well in half a second on that scan, its more than likely that he has enough reflex to block/parry/avoid blitzes from John..
Ever notice how when he stops to absorb energy he never moves or lets up?If he is absorbing Jonns psionmic energy he's going to have to be tracking Jonn,Absorbing energy and avoiding Jonns invisible physical attacks all at the same time.He will never manage that.
You mean like the scans i posted above, his able to do anything he wants while trying to absorbs.. Again tracking John wont be hard and avoiding physical attacks nothing a sphere shield could'nt handle..

You know Atom could also turn invisible, dont know how John could counter that?
he can't counter all things at once.He will be vulnerable in an area at all stages of the battle whilst Jonn will constantly be able to attack him from all angles probing and exploiting the weaknesses.This is simply a waiting game for Jonn who can press the attack till Atom falls,simple as that.
This will only happens if Atom fights idioticly, but at his best his far faster light speed and can see a lot farther.. Using that to his advantage he can turn the tide, stop countering and go on offensive..
John powers are impressive but its just not enough to put down someone with Captain Atoms powers.. Im not even counting his uber feats; reality/mater manipulation..
