The hair in particular has just the right amount of swoopiness. His head sculpt is the one notable unique piece, of course, and it’s a nice recreation of McGuinness’s version of Atom. It does better with the arm posing than the other molds…you know, when the shoulder joints don’t shatter. It’s a good, basic mold, most of which wound up re-used for various other McGuinness-style characters, including Superman Blue and Red, whom I reviewed here a few years back. Captain Atom sported the most basic version of the McGuinness-styled body mold that was introduced for this assortment. This is why you shouldn’t make joints out of clear plastic, you guys. The figure stands 6 1/4 inches tall and he has 13 points of articulation…or at least he did before his shoulder joint crumbled when I pulled him out of storage for this review. Captain Atom is seen here in his one look from the story, which was also his one main look for his time at DC during his post-Crisis revival. A.T.O.M. TOY DC SERIESTHE FIGURE ITSELFĬaptain Atom was released in the first series of DC Direct’s Superman/Batman line, which, as previously noted, was entirely themed around the “Public Enemies” storyline. As I’ve mentioned before, the story’s not high art or anything, but it did give Captain Atom some nice focus, and also netted him his very first action figure in 2005. Surprising no one, the Captain realizes that, you know, Luthor’s, like, a villain and all, and aids our heroes. Heading this team is Captain Atom, a character that DC really seems to like pulling the Inspector Javert angle with. In the opening arc of Superman/Batman, after Lex Luthor makes the titular duo fugitives, he sends his own team of government-sponsored heroes after them.
