So Captan Atom was depressed and decided to ascend to godhood by killing the world’s most powerful heroes? That’s so cool!!!! I was tired of him just exploding.
It seems like Atom basically underwent the same thing Deadpool did during Deadpool kills the marvel universe.
Basically gains a perspective or glimpse of the outside universe (whats past the 4th wall) and goes completely nuts.
@@thefallencog except that here is more realistic, he is more powerful that we might think.
Hahahahahaha “tired of him exploding” very true and still super cool
@@juliancamacho3837 yeah it’s cool but it has get tiresome, they are not exploiting (hehe) his potential.
@@francisconavarro4251 I don't really think Atom is more powerful in this story.
I think the key thing people forget about most super heroes (with the exception of superman or plastic man) is that they are significantly more powerful then they let on. They only hold back out of fear they'll hurt or kill anyone.
This is why i said its probably something similar to Deadpool kills the marvel universe. Atom goes nuts after seeing the world behind the pages and stop holding back. Atom's always been capable of doing the things hes done in this story. Hes just never done it because heroes don't kill.
Now he kills. So now he uses his power to the fullest extent of his imagination because hes no longer holding back, and possibly been revealed to by another party that he can do even more then he previously thought.
That broken nose superman gave him in this story? Superman could have easily torn his head off if it wasn't for him holding back. Superman holds back though because superman doesn't kill.
Atom effortlessly tore superman apart because he wasn't holding back (using his power to the fullest extent)
It’s always someone either kills ‘Justice League’ or ‘Avengers’ or ‘X-Men’ 😂
And never how are the Justice Leauge, Avengers and X-men 😔
@@Zzzodiackillerrr True 😢
Right
Yes, those groups are power “standards”. Similar to musical standards they are the ruler by which all others are measured.
because comics!
This is the nerfed version of Jenny Sparks. In fact DC had tô nerf a lot of characters from the Authority. So the other ones don't seems useless near them.
what could she do before
@@Youneedashower12 yea id like to know as well
This story also isn't canon, so she doesn't have to be nerfed to be at a different power level
She killed "God". Or more specifically a gigantic moon sized life form that kick started life on earth in the Wildstorm universe. And then she died.
There are some heroes in the DC universe so op, that the DC universe is fortunate they choose to be heroes. Firestorm, Swamp Thing, Metamorpho, Plastic Man, Constantine and Dr Fate just to name a few. Captain Atom is way up there with all of them. Easy.
Thats why they make him go boom in every story
Dr manhatten
Manhattan was different. Actually was an educated and well adjusted person who was then throw into something that he barely could conceive.. Time.
Atom is a soldier with superpowers with no basis of understanding them.
Breaking the neck of a shape shifter that has intangibility makes no sense lmao. Cool for elseworlds I guess
Matter manipulation rember? He can literally just stop his molecules from changing making it so he can breack his neck.
Mainstream Captain Atom could hold onto normally intangible beings, having grappled the Black Racer.
Two words, matter manipulation 😉.
J'onn controls literally every molecule in his body so on some level he has matter manipulation too. Also he is physically stronger than captain atom, so is superman.
@@OneofmanyASMR Except they didn't justify that at all so this is just cope
Everyone read ... Captain Atom Armageddon ... 2005-06. He is a Universe Killer threat. Awesome Story.
That was a good book, it empathised his humanity and morality while taking on 'edgier' heroes.
Let’s get a DC top 20 most powerful characters hierarchy!
This would be the video idea that drives him nuts 😂😂let’s dooo iiit
That would be such a headache because which versions of which characters do you include? Yes, all history is now canon, everyone's history was restored, but power levels still varied between eras.
Then are we going to include Vertigo? DC Black label? Wildstorm (pre-New 52 merger), Because there goes 99% of the list. Honestly no one in the main continuity JL (even full extended roster) makes it.
why does Jenny Sparks come off like a discount John Constantine when she quips
"I never realized how powerful Captain Atom was...."
I always assumed he was more or less equivalent to Dr. Manhattan. Because DC wouldn't let Morrison use pre-existing characters for Watchmen.
Naw, Atom is stupidly powerful. A lot of characters are. DC just chooses to give the Justice League stupid-level plot armor.
He is but also isn't. Atom could recreate a universe while Manhattan can do it on a muliversal scale.
I mean he’s strong but he’s never been written like this before.
Basically everyone has a story out there that makes them seem like the strongest to ever exist.. this is just that kind of story for CA
@kappadarwin9476 no he can't you're talking about the button right?
Dr Manhattan has already defeated Captain Atom and easily too. Why does no one remember this? 😂
Remember the military sending Captain Adam to stop Superman saving Question in Justice League Unlimited and giving Superman a hard time.
Captain Atom is criminally underused. He is a BEAST.
Preach
Yeah, he's a tank. Historically, he's DC's Adam Brashear if he weren't a genius, too.
I know this is turning out to portray him like Dr. Manhattan, but he's more often level headed and reserved.
Dr Manhattan already fought and beat captain atom easily.
Captain atom has been around long before Blue marvel and Dr Manhattan.
So they turned Captain Atom into his Watchdog equivalent of Doctor Manhattan. Fair enough.
Captain Atom is sooooo much more powerful than anyone else on the Justice League. Since Day One.
I bet he's going to bring them all back to life just to be like: "See? I killed all of you and brought you back. What am I if not a god?"
Reminds me of Dr Manhattan.
You are imagining things. 😁
@@derrickmaraisdr Manhattan is based on captain atom rorschach the question
Not surprising. Dr Manhattan is based on Captain Atom, and in the New 52 they made Atom look very similar to Manhattan.
Correct for the comments in this section.
I wish he ran up on Manhattan trying this bullshit, then he would understand what a real God is.
Jenny seems like the shit talking goat. Need more stories with her
You're a talented creator, no joke!
Hahaha
I've read a lot of stories because he introduced me to them with videos like this one.
'JUSTICE WILL BE SERVED' - CAPTAIN ATOM
This is a badass story so far, but I’m a little concerned that the ending will just be a hand wavy “he changed his mind and resurrected everyone!” I hope they find a more interesting way to end it.
Can't believe you slept on Adam for so long. He's always been nuts but held back because it would be broken otherwise.
He's sounding just like dr Manhattan 😂😂
captain atom has always been my favorite because of wat he can do. people just never give him the light cuz SUPERMAN
On todays edition of "just because you can..."
I love the random ones you do. This was great.
Could Scarlet Witch from MCU kills the whole Justice League from DC movies?
Why did you word that question like that.
Pretty much, she can just neutralize their powers and boom them.
Edit: I didn't realize you put MCU so I can't say
Yes. The MCU Wanda vs DCEU justice league. Yeah I would say because who inntje justice league could counter her. Maybe Batman with prep time 😂
@@Achiemeshe’s just as weak as a human generally so she can generally just get speedblitzed
She can only react at the speed of thought vs a being like flash who can react at the speed of light. Barry got this before it even starts!
Man I can't with the dialogue anymore. It's so preachy and just a medium for the writer to sh*tpost.
That's exactly what I was thinking
I'm early and ready to be made a comics expert 😂
*without watching video* You mean Batman doesn't have a contingency plan for Captain Atom?
Daaaamn, it reminds me Rob that how many times I was commenting on your channel loooong long time ago many years ago to do a video about Captain Atom
I'm glad people are recognising this Dope Hero
Thanks Rob
DC comics as always Undervalued the power captain atom has, he’s basically molecule Man and Superman in one person
4:19 "Nobody wants to be god anymore" is crazy lol
Hey Rob, when are you going to do The Witness (Destiny 2) vs Galactus?
DC really nerfed him so hard he is basically equal to Dr Manhattan
Your videos always bring so much positivity and good mood. Thank you for your humorous talent and bright energy!👽🧋✊
Finally some love for Captain Atom!! *Whispers: Be it a bastardized version of his character in terms of mentality/psychological 😅
Captain Adam Devine
Go on...
And yet Gotham Girl beat him up like nothing.
"Boom you're dead"
The dialogue between atom and spark was amazing. 😱 “every superhero thinks they’re the chosen one because they can fly” 😂🔥🔥🔥
Jenny Sparks is great and everyone should go back and read The Authority
Damn, Sparks died and got replaced with Quantum. I liked Quantum!
No, in physics, "intangible things" are not considered matter because matter is defined as anything that has mass and occupies space, and intangible things by definition lack a physical presence and cannot be measured in terms of mass or volume.
Frkn Boss. The Cap's gon Atomic 😂. Seriously can't wait for the follow up
Finally a Captain Atom story where he’s not just self destructing! Kingdom Come, Dceased, Injustice, Infinite Frontier, DC vs Vampires… probably more I’ve forgotten too 😂
Anybody been watching Young Justice recently? Does the energy drink, REACH, within the show remind you of a drink that the kids are drinking today? Within the show, it makes you docile and was purposely made so that people would not revolt. The show is over a decade old but totally mirrors what is going on post lockdown. Its pretty eerie
You're just making a connection that's not there, irl doesn't need reach when there's the internet and media
I've always wanted a Cpt Adam villain arc, this makes me happy!
Between Capt. Adam and Major Force....
Powerhouses!!
This is dope. I always wondered what a good story of home going off. Almost started sounding like how Carnage is trying to have believers in him being a god. I'm hype for the rest of this.
Finally some captain respect. Haven't watched the video yet but he can even travel in time and manipulate the speed force. He's scuffed Dr Manhattan.
It is about time Capt. Adam got some respect see. Nobody messes with the frog see ya.
Who hasn't killed the Justice League.
Gingivitis? Pretty sure they all brush.
Nathaniel Adams needs to be sent to the Phantom Zone, after placing a psychic suggestion that will compel him to explode once inside said zone
I always thought Dr. Manhattan was Captain Atom, just smarter. I'm glad there's a book that showcase his true limit of his powers.
dope story so far. Gave me this idea that instead of huge reboots every 5 - 15 years, I'd dig a sort regulation system (odd I know). Just that theoretically dudes like Cpt Atom are/can be all powerful, so every decade or so build to one/couple of these guys 'ascend' (some characters die, new ones introduced) this character dies or de-powered and thus a new hierarchy emerges good/bad/neutral that can very much still be titanic in scope.
He's the Blueprint to Dr Manhattan, he better be a powerhouse in his own right
Matter manipulation lets you control all the pieces on the board. Reality manipulation lets you control the board. I think that's how I'd differentiate them. If you control matter, whatever matter you manipulate all still must obey the laws of physics, but you don't even need to bother with matter if you can manipulate reality. You can just say "enough, I'm deleting dimension 3" and then everything's flatland.
I had super mixed feelings about this because I feel like Martian manhunter Superman would not go out that easy if at all I get it they have to Nerf everyone else and make Captain atom super powerful for this to be a fun story
This is a crazy storyline, my face the whole video :o the fact they brought the real power of atom to the pages. And I love it it! 😂😂what a beast
He did this with once before and brought them back
Hes basically the Sentry of Dc comics.
She's the SPIRIT of the 21 Century, ya dope!!!!! 😁
I've been totally digging this Jenny Sparks run. I kindof want MajorForce to show up, being Captain Atom's opposite and all ;p
"I didn’t know a matter manipulator was so powerful"
...duh
Not only did Capt. Atom defeat the Justice League, he did it in a bar fight! He should have said, 'hold my beer'.
She's lives to 100 years. Her replacement is Jenny Quantum before her was Jenny Fire.
Though this is DC black label this was still a good way to explain where captain atom stands on the power heiarchy of DC comics.
Two questions if I may?
1. Doesn’t firestorm do the exact same thing? Is Firestorm somehow less powerful?
2. Why did this comic bring me a sense of joy?
I guess that’s three questions…🤔
Firestorm isn't Superman level strong or invulnerable. Captain Atom can manipulate the quantum field allowing him to time travel, traverse the multiverse and alter things on an atomic level. There is a version of Captain Atom that merged with Firestorm in an alternate universe...but he was absorbed by Captain Atom's villainous persona named Monarch
This reminds of a Captain Marvel run. He was manipulated to go insane because of his cosmic awareness and goes around acting as god.
I've been interested in Captain Atom for a good while now. I read his New 52 run well he was very different and also very powerful. He wasn't a guy in an alien coating but a being of quantum energy. Then they changed him to where he could go back and forth between a human body and then the quantum skin could come on like a symbiote. Then as DC does all that was done and he was basically how he was Post Crisis.
I'm excited that he's going to be in Justice League Unlimited and one of the reasons I'm getting the book
Captain Atom is so freaking cool! DC should focus on many other good characters like him.
Peak DC right here, finally.
Oh. I always put him on the level of Wonderman or Firedude from the Legion.
After hearing the statement at the beginning of the video cam we just cut to the conclusion that every superhero in DC at this point is just.... Massively powerful🤷🏾♂️
I mean... In reality every DC heavy hotter as far as I'm concerned is just being modest and holding back at this point.
Poor Martian 😢. I love how they did CA justice tho
Flash saw flashpoint when he got sent flying 😂😂
We are always told how smart Superman is, but his solutions to things are typically punching them 🤣
12:36
Rob just said this a elseworlds so superman is nerfed
Captain Atom was the inspiration for Dr. Manhattan, so it makes sense for him to have some kind of God complex.
Bro folded to Question, i don't want to hear it
Im glad that they shin a stoplight on some of the lesser known characters. But do they always have to do by killing the other heroes.
Officially, in the regular comics, DC's version of Captain Atom NEVER had the power of matter-manipulation. That's normally Firestorm's gig.
I just checked and he definitely has matter manipulation.
But what if: Captain Atom vs Michael
Theres a HUGE difference between killing for a reason and killing for no reason.
At the end of Flashpoint DC merged the regular universe with vertigo (which is in the DC universe but not I guess even though they crossed over all the time) and the Wildstorm universe from Image Comics. That's where Wildcats, Stormwatch, Grifter, Midnigter and others came from to form the New 52 reboot. DC did the same with Mildstone Comics (Static, Icon). My point is GO READ THE AUTHORITY from Image Comics pre New 52. Oh my god bro YOU will freaking love it!! Because that's where Jenny Sparks first appeared (actually it was the original Stormwatch that lead into the Authority). But you want to see freaking Jenny Sparks at her absolutely bad ass best you have to read the original The Authority. This new Jenny is cool but it's a pale shadow of the original, that should enough for you to go, "Wait, what now?". The Wildstorm universe rocked!!!
Oh no. Did someone split Captain Atom? Again?
Is it a day ending in "y"?
Would love one'a these "× ends the JL/Avengers/etc." but instead a Hero (or Villain) takes out Only the villains w/o ending much to any of the Heroes. Like "All your jobs are [temporarily] done, whachu gonna do now?"
I love DC BLACK LABEL, dark twisted takes on characters with traditional values, great storytelling, what defines a god, great idea
Technically he's kinda not wrong about being sort of a god. As a matter manipulator, he could technically create life.
A body is an amalgam of chemical compounds. With enough raw material, he can make a heart pump and make electrons move to simulate brain activity. Technically... That's life.
Captain Atom is up there with Black Bolt.
jenny giving some real Constantine vibes with the British words and swearing
And the Constant Chain-Smoking.
Everyone acting like idiots
Choking a shapeshifter(????)
All the while the main characterof the story talks down the league
Yeah....there is a name for that kind of thing
Stories like this is what power scaler dream of to use as Anti Feats against Batman or Superman. They don't understand the simple concept that these stories are elseworld, not in continuity.
Always thought Cpt Atom was a complicated character but in his heart Always a good person and a tough individual with a hard shell of a heroic heart. His life was a little more than a hero his past shrouded in military security, I do recall his original origins though there is where it is complicated with timelines and his base origins in the golden age of comics and the nuclear age and other outside forces. His health of mind is the story that does have a connection to his powers and then there's his future selves all are him but one turns very evil and truly kills his destiny a darker Cpt Atom. This version turned to the darkside of his ego and tore his friends apart by destroying reality.
But it turns out there's another Captain Atom one I recall lost in time and was about 17 years lost time one that was a little older than the mainstream and when he eventually appeared the other versions vanished however it turns out they are all him I think Ammand Waller appears in these stories as well. Nathan does redeem himself here and there but this doesn't mean his destiny isn't going to be altered again. His mind is a time bubble of chaos and dreams of his heroic age fragmented and at it centre is the true hero a young man called Nathan. Captain Atom Returns ending his struggles with the power of timelines and a new power set of Absolutes Man Of Atom?
Captain atom made jis own multiverse w its own source he always been op
i think we all knew how powerful they were considering the flash point comic series.
This is the sort of thing I'd expect from Major Force
This sounds a lot less like Captain Atom and A LOT more like Dr. Manhattan.
Captain Atom is on a level people can't understand
Cap Atom kind of pulling a Miquella the way he’s trying to ascend. Seems he’s abandoning his heart love and attachments
Damn... they buffed him a lot. I guess this is the captain atom meta now XD.
