I've actually read all of Capt. Atom solo appearance plus tie ins Capt. Atom regular struggles to absorb anything above a city level blast.
Hal once knocked him out by accident, he's absorbed nuclear reactors and been knocked out.
Major force someone who regularly beats atom got one shotted by Superman and got killed by a grenade meant to destroy a town by guy Gardner

So basically just ignore the time he absorbed a blast that was going to destroy every hero present (said blast made him quantum leap past the end of time to prehistoric time). Or the time he absorbed the nuclear warhead in the mountain base that became extrem Justice's headquarters (that one made him leap about 10 minutes forward because he absorbed it too fast). Or all his JL appearances, what he did on Wildstorm earth.
No instead lets focus on his solo series which was set when he was a neophyte NOOB without a complete understanding of his powers.

also Atom once fought the ray who was confirmed to have energy equal to destroying a planet and the ray beat him so bad he overloaded again and was sent to the quantum zone
Wait, being overloaded by the Ray is a low showing now??
The Ray who the JL after testing consider to have potentially LIMITLESS energy
The guy whos power was too much for a whole dimension and overpowered dimensional entities?
The guy who that dimensional entity called one of the league's most powerful and who needed him because only he could provide enough energy to help him escape the spell he had heen trapped in
Yeah thats not a low showing, at all.

lol i can show you a dozen of showings from Atom that's below planetary. It's HIGHLY debatable if he's "oine" of the strongest jl members
matter of fact, how about I make a thread with the showings?
