Emergence of the Atom


For those of you who are fans of the CW's Arrow and you are also a DC fan we have good news that has been dropped this week.  The minuscule micronaut the Atom will be making an appearance this season during episode 15 "Nanda Parbat".  Ever since the beginning of the season when Brandon Routh was announced to portrait Ray Palmer fans have been waiting patiently to see the Atom's debut.  Especially with Palmer buying the Queen Consolidated and since then has been slowing building a suit that will help him not only fight crime but also help advance science and medical studies.

However, first the Arrow needs to return to Starling City in order to save it from a thuggish brute named Brick who essentially wants to run the Glades without interference from the cops and other city officials.  And he's got his wish as the Mayor has now ordered all cops out of the Glades.  Damn, can the people of Starling city get a decent break?  With the Arrow presumed dead the job of protecting city has fallen onto the shoulders of Diggle, Arsenal, and the new Black Canary.  At this point and time having another hero around really would be a boon at this time.

Now my question is will the Atom's emergence help boost the popularity or intrigue about Marvel's Ant-man?  Me personally, I've found the Atom to be a more exciting character with interesting abilities.  Ant-man was only defined by his duality along with the Wasp.  They came as a set pair and they have remained entwined ever since.  Even when Hank Pym put the suit away and became the wife-beating Yellow-Jacket he was still tied to the Wasp.  Which made him all that more interesting than when he was the Ant-man.  So will the Atom be more popular and will he gain his own television series which ideas are being thrown around right now??  Or will the movie Marvel's Ant-man gain the high-ground and surprise us all.
