I've been reading Action Heroes archive #1, featuring early 60s Captain Atom and Steve Ditko. They aren't the greatest comics in the world by any means, but it is interesting to read the pre-DC version of Captain Atom for the first time. I do prefer the silver containment suit to the original, I have to say.

the silver dilusteel skin is probably my favorite look for captain atom.



i would have preferred the golden wildstorm skin look but felt it was too busy.

found a custom sculpt online, and i have to say the chrome look on captain atom is amazing.

What is so sad to me is that DC seems determined to use every version of Cap's look except the one people actually like.

from what i gathered reading in the other threads, stubbornness is one of dc's endearing qualities.

btw, his nu 52 hair do isnt really working for me.

Noting about the Nu52 "Captain Manhattan" works for me.

Yeah I don't get why they're pushing Captain Manhattan these days, its a annoying version of the character and doesn't work in a monthly, even if it might in something like Pax Americana. Leave Dr. Manhattan alone. I don't want to read about an all-powerful autist. At least not in a monthly.

I think that silver skin look doesn't work anymore, dunno why. Gold skin is too busy. I would keep the gold dilusteel skin and dress Cap Atom is something militaristic (in a "we're the military and we've come to help you" way), futuristic and super-heroic. The colors would be deliberately bright for the same reason Superman having a bright costume is practical (it makes the bad guys focus on the invulnerable guy, not the fleshy civilians).

They should just use Convergence to wipe that stuff out and bring us a military man Captain Atom.

the gold skin can work, with lesser lines. although ill admit, i really like the look of t-1000 liquid metal look on captan atom.

somehow when i think of military i tend to imagine pouches, gears, and camouflage... that, or spartans 2 supersoldiers, whose armor is still colored green.

My favorite of all. Really wish they'd gone along with something akin to that interpretation.

Absolutely! Loved all the intrigue, twists and turns, and great characterization by Bates, as well as the kick ass art by Pat Broderick.

the cary bates/pat broderick captain atom is probably my most favorite interpretation of the character. the origin of nathaniel adam/cameron scott was really interesting. i remember as kid tracing pat's artwork of the captain on paper. ah good ol' days.
