When Jean is kidnapped by the people of Jimberen a microscopic populace that believed she was the descendant of their ruler, Palmer and Hawkman team-up to rescue her. As time would go on, Ray would eventually get involved in less frequent solo adventures, often teaming up with either Hawkman or getting involved in many of the Justice League's cases.ĭuring an adventure, Jean finally accepts Palmer's proposal for marriage in fear that he would eventually become too absorbed in his work to ask her anymore. When preventing an alien invasion, Palmer teamed up with extraterrestrial lawman Hawkman and his partner Hawkgirl, forming a long lasting partnership between the trio. However, with the aid of the Atom, the team of heroes defeated Fortune and elected the Atom as a new member of their group.
who sent him overseas to rescue a Professor from foreign spies, and Palmer soon become involved in a plot by Amos Fortune and other villains to destroy the Justice League of America using a de-memorizor ray to pit the Atom against the League. His adventures soon escalated, however, after becoming a trusted hero in the community and establishing a great working relationship with the local police, Palmer's heroics made him an ally of the C.I.A. Deciding to use this effect to become a superhero, Palmer creates a belt to control his miniaturization, with an emergency backup mechanism in his gloves, and develops a costume that only becomes visible when he shrinks significantly.ĭubbing himself "The Atom", Palmer began a career of crime fighting in Ivy Town, where he often helps Jean win her cases by tracking clues and/or confronting suspects. Using a diamond engagement ring, Palmer enlarges the hole and, while trying to alert the others of the escape route, he finds himself able to return to normal size without the danger of exploding.Īfter subsequent experiments still resulted in objects exploding, Palmer concluded that some unknown force in his own body was what allowed him to safely size-shift. In desperation, Palmer uses the lens to shrink himself in order to climb through an opening in the rocks sealing the cave. Disillusioned with his failure, during a spelunking expedition some days later, Palmer, his students, and Jean, find themselves trapped in a cave. Theorizing that if he were to grind a lens from this fragment and focus ultraviolet light through it, he could shrink anything struck by the light down to a fraction of its original size, Palmer fashions the lens and is initially successful in his experiment, however, the compression destabilizes the object's molecular structure, causing it to explode moments after it is shrunk. Specializing in the study of matter compression as a means to fight overpopulation, famine and other world problems, Palmer discovers a tiny fragment of white dwarf star material that had fallen to Earth. After they both graduated and began working in their chosen professions (Jean as a lawyer and Palmer as a physics professor), Palmer would frequently ask Jean to marry him, but she would always decline wanting to establish herself as a lawyer before getting married and settling down. During his time at the university, he began dating law student Jean Loring and the pair eventually become exclusive.
