Atom

Atom (Ray Palmer) is a superhero gifted with the ability to shrink to a microscopic, and even subatomic size. He makes his first ever appearance in Teen Titans Go! To the Movies, a feature film for the Teen Titans Go! series.

History[]

The Silver Age Atom, Ray Palmer, was originally a physicist who specialized as a matter compression operator. While he was on an expedition, he found himself trapped in a cave. Ray resorted to using a lens made of a white dwarf star that shrunk him down to whatever size he wanted, but with a risk of spontaneous combustion. Luckily for him, he was able to shrink, escape, and revert back to his original size. From then on, he became the superhero Atom.

As for his appearance in Teen Titans Go! to the Movies, Atom can be seen reduced to the size of a couple inches and flying in a castle like building. He commands the Titans, who are driving a Cyborg-powered golf cart, to halt for him. However, Robin ignores him and runs right into him. Poor Atom is splattered onto their windshield, startling Beast Boy, Robin, and Starfire. With the stain blocking his view, Robin turns on the windshield wipers to try and scrape him off, but this only makes the smear larger.

Characteristics[]

Atom (2) — Atom can shrink himself to a nearly un-seeable size.

Dressed in a more traditional superhero suit, Atom wears a full-body blue jumpsuit. He has a crimson breast plate, boots, and gloves, and around his waste is a golden belt decorated with valence electron paths. Ray's face, similar to Batman's, is covered completely except for his mouth, eyes, and ears. His forehead is also adorned with the atomic logo. When engaged in drama, Atom's eyes glow purple because he's triggered.

Personality[]

Atom appears to be prideful of his superpowers, and doesn't like rejections or broken promises. He also gets very annoyed when people unknowingly step on him.
