    Always enjoyed his appearances as a side character in the cartoons, but when you got the main justice league lineup you don’t really need another superman…firestorm…green lantern…martian man hunter … damn they got a lot of overpowered superheroes going on in that orbital cannon. Makes you wonder why they needed that space station armed, they could blow up the world easier than nukes.

      Agree, he works best as a subversion of a superman, imo. Right now there’s a Jenny Sparks mini written by Tom King about a rogue Captain Atom, and I’m liking it a lot. Issue #4 comes out this Wednesday! Link if interested
