Atom (Ray Palmer)

Main Article: Ray Palmer

Ray Palmer was a male human who had been graduate student and a fellowship research physicist at Ivy University. He came to conduct research into the theoretical ability to compress matter into a small space. Around 3 months ago, he came to witness a meteor fall to the surface near his location. Investigating the crash site, he came to find white dwarf staff matter which he took with him for study for his own research. He came to fashion the white dwarf star matter into a reduction lense that allowed him to compress an objects size. Thus, at the Ivy University campus, he conducted numerous experiments at his nuclear physics laboratory where he was able to shrink objects. A problem emerged though as when shrunk an object was shrunk they experienced an instability within the compressed atoms causing them to explode as a result. (Showcase v1 #34)

Atom (Ryan Choi)

Main Article: Ryan Choi

Ryan Choi was a human where as a child he was in regular correspondence with scientific minds around the world with one among them being Ray Palmer. He developed an academic record that was beyond reproach at a young age and became Dr. Ryan Choi. A year ago, it was said that his mother had wanted to come to America but had passed away. He had long wanted to go to Ivy Town University in America when he was invited to join the institution. After arriving on campus, he was given Ray Palmers position and office with him being Ivy University's new Professor of Nuclear Physics. Following moving into Palmers old home, he managed to discover clues left by Ray that led to a size-shrinking Bio-Belt. (All-New Atom v1 #1)

Atom (Atom One Million)

Main Article: Atom One Million

An unnamed scientist in the 853rd Century performed experiments in superstring theory that creates a singularity and whose radiation alters his physical make-up. When the singularity threatened to expand and destroy his universe, he enters it in an attempt to save the universe but instead finds himself on an interdimensional bridge to another universe as his own is wiped out, unable to stop it. At the end of the bridge, he finds Superman Prime who came to help but was too late. Stranded, he searches this universe for remnants of the one he lost, in time taking the name the Atom and joining the Justice Legion Alpha when he helped them defeat the Bizarro-Legion. This Atom's powers differ from his predecessors in that he doesn't shrink but breaks up into several smaller duplicates of himself divided amongst his mass. At atomic size, these duplicates can mimic elements such as gold and oxygen. (DC One Million 80-Page Giant v1 #1000000)
