Talk:Captain Atom

message: Was Captain Atom realy voiced by American politician Charles Christopher Cox in the episode "The Greatest Story Never Told"? The link seems to suggest so
:No it isn't. Chris Cox to whom it refers is a cartoon and video game voice artist. I'll see what I can do. --Jason Kirk 05:48, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: So? Nightshade (comics) has it the normal way too. Same as Blue Beetle (Ted Kord), Peacemaker (comics), Judomaster, Peter Cannon, Thunderbolt. There is not enough information to warrant a splitting of the page. Fundamentally anyway, the two are the same character, and elements from the Charlton comics are still referenced (such as the relationship between Nightshade and Cap).

message: I read both articles and found that, with the exception of the History and "Project Atom" introduction, virtually everything in the "Modern Age" article was verbatim in the regular "Captain Atom" article already.  I merged this fresh text from the "Modern Age" into here and did some general clean-up.  I'm sure it can be improved further, but at least everything is ghkccccccccccffrdrjfcvg--68.34.113.247 (talk) 21:17, 17 December 2021 (UTC)

message: In <I>Infinite Crisis</I> #7 Captain Atom returned after Breach was blown up by Superboy-Prime. But in <I>Battle For Bludhaven</I> It is stated that he returned right after the Chemo disaster. Which is it? Bluecatcinema 10:36, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Okay, I'm confused... 

message: The sentence "Captain Atom's powers were similar to such other nuclear-powered superheroes as Gold Key's Doctor Solar and Dell Comics' Nukla. ..." gets an "original research?" tag.  Considering that Wikipedia's own Nukla page shows not only very similar powers but the exact same origin as the Charlton Captain Atom, and that Doctor Solar has nuclear-based powers derived from a massive dose of radiation (thus sharing a few points of both origin and power with Captain Atom), I move that the "original research?" tag be stricken.  Not only can the data in question be verified, but it's already right here on Wikipedia, with bibliographic citations and everything.  There's also the small matter that WP:NOR criteria also require that the passage cited as such be the basis for opinion.  The statement is that Captain Atom has powers similar to those of two other superheroes who in fact do have powers similar to his.  Nukla's, in fact, are almost identical, and so is his origin.  QED.
In fact, I also move that Watchmen's Dr. Manhattan be added to the passage, since he too has nuclear energy-oriented powers obtained as the result of a catastrophic radiation incident.

thread_title:  Refutation of Original Research Charge 

message: I had removed mass murderer earlier, as the destruction or Earth-51 was in the context of the Captain's containment suit rupturing.  Though the death of the planet was high in magnitude, it does not appear that it was intentionally brought upon by the Captain, merely collatoral damage due to the battle.  An unfortunate circumstance, but I do not believe that meets the criteria for mass murder. -66.109.248.114 (talk) 21:26, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Nice note, I stand corrected, thanks for clarifying. -66.109.248.114 (talk) 23:02, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Recently, I read through the series.  Nightshades family dies in issue #1, a note is that he feels death between multiversal versions as that of suicide or "fading away of shadows."  I interpret this as Monarch/Atom feeling the deaths while caring an emotional weight on the heroes, has no lasting implication, as those persons are still alive in the multiverse.  This is really sematics, but I'm interested to to see what other editors feel whether this has any affect on the mass murderer label. Personally, I'm rather drawn, and some consesnus of interpretation he might help to guide editorially the Countdown/OYL section.  -66.109.248.114 (talk) 22:10, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

message: While it is probably best that the infobox was swapped out for , there are some problems with the change.
#The character image: :File:Cap atom v2 01.jpg misses almost all of WP:CMOS#BOXIMAGE. This including swapping the "new" costume for the more recognized one.
#Setting up the auto catting.
#Generally we don't split and identify things by "re-boot" in the infobox.
#Splits are normally delineated by character name.
#Powers... wow... "Keep it short" is best. If it can't be, then "See: Powers and abilities" with link is appropriate.
#Volumes are an issues since the numbering tends to follow the title regardless of publisher. Volume 1 was a run published by Nation-Wide Publishing in 1950-1951 even though it featured a different character. Volume 2 was the Charlton run from 1965-1967. And the DC runs are volumes 3 and 4.
