I suspect he sees the highly gifted Jean as the only woman "worthy" of him, so his proposals are just another competition for him to win/challenge to overcome.<br /><br />Ray Palmer kicking the hell out of Al Pratt is one of the most *ahem* striking Atom images of all time. Ray has otherwise ignored all other members of the "family," leaving Atom Smasher to twist in the wind while Damage, Molecule and Adam Cray were allowed to die unaided. Ray has of course made time to fight some of their reanimated corpses/ghosts/etc. <br /><br />So basically, once Ray Palmer took up the Atom mantle, he <i>took</i> that thing, and he doesn't share.Diabolu Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685199809207954223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6399979678107201675.post-25527457966784375532010-05-25T22:46:33.869-05:002010-05-25T22:46:33.869-05:00I never realized the Atom "family" fough...I never realized the Atom "family" fought so much.<br /><br />#2...Damn, Ray! Beating up your Golden Age predecessor. That's just cold. I never knew he had such a mean streak. Is this how he deals with all that pent up frustration caused by Jean Loring?LissBirdshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17059648604602469375noreply@blogger.com
