Greatest DC Heroes of All Time

The Atom

Not many people are aware of the Atom, mainly because they haven’t read the comics or haven’t seen him in many issues, but he has been a valuable part of the DC universe. The Atom is originally known as Al Pratt during the Golden Age, a man with a smalle statue but with superhuman strength; he was a founding member of the Justice Society. Ray Palmer took the name during the Silver Age, a physics professor at Ivy University who developed equipment to shrink himself down to subatomic levels while maintaining regular mass.
