In the DC comics, Albert Rothstein is the godson of the first Atom, Al Pratt, and later became the superhero known as Atom Smasher and Nuklon. Atom Smasher is known for his power of growth and super strength.
As previously mentioned, Atom Smasher isn't an original member of the JSA. However, he's connected to the legacy of one. Al Pratt, the original Atom, is his godfather.
DC's shrinking hero is a little different from Ant-Man, and the Atom's suit is much more functional. It boasts built-in computers, high-tech armor, and strength enhancers that function even when he's regular-sized.
Albert Rothstein / Atom Smasher appears in Black Adam, portrayed by Noah Centineo. This version is a member of the Justice Society who received his suit and mantle from his uncle Al Pratt.
In DC Comics proper, Albert Rothstein Atom Smasher is a hero from New Earth, not a villain from Earth-Two. In the JSLA comics, Atom Smasher's villainous turn is similar to his appearance on the Flash.
Ant-Man is the winner here and that's hugely due to the face behind the mask. If this was Scott Lang going up against Ray Palmer, Atom would have probably edged it. But Hank is someone who simply doesn't like to lose and his personality is very dark.
While Black Adam may have had a strong opening, it quickly hit a brick wall in terms of box office and crashed out at less than $400 million worldwide amid bad reviews. Not only is a Black Adam sequel not happening, but Henry Cavill's Superman return isn't either, as the role has been recast for Gunn's new vision.
Despite Black Adam's challenge, Superman's Kryptonian physiology ultimately makes him stronger, as confirmed in the issue. Fans eagerly anticipate a future showdown between Superman and Black Adam, with potential for an epic battle in various mediums.
However, a lot of comic book movie fans think that his costume looks a lot like the Merc With A Mouth. Atom Smasher shouldn't feel too bad as most heroes with a red bodysuit get compared to Deadpool.
Ant-Man is a powerful member of the Avengers, but his raw strength pales in comparison to Black Adam. He could grow to incredible sizes, but even his enhanced strength would not be enough to fend off Black Adam's magical power. Black Adam is already inherently strong, and Ant-Man would lose too much speed and agility.
The now-infamous mid-credits scene in 2022's Black Adam famously reintroduced Henry Cavill's Superman as a force capable of stopping the antihero, teeing up a showdown that will now never happen.
Saburo Arasaka died with 158 and was the oldest character. Looking at him didn't seem he had too many modifications. Adam Smasher has only 4% human/organic parts, his brain and some spinal / endocrine / pineal parts. It looks like it's possible to reach something like 200.
Hawkman lifting a car With the Nth metal of his suit, Carter Hall becames extremely strong, being able to send beings like Teth-Adam flying with just his fist and lift heavy objects with ease, as he demostrated when he threw a car at him or when he punched him against a building, as well as when he broke a pod from an ...
Seeing as he would have lost against Thanos without the upgrade of his new weapons, it's clear who the victor would be in a confrontation between the Mad Titan and Adam. A battle between the god-tier Thanos and Black Adam would be insane, but in the end, Thanos would walk away victorious.
For most of the fight, Shazam is winning without using the full extent of his powers because of his deep respect for Superman. While Superman ultimately wins, it's only because he's able to cover Batson's mouth.
By most accounts, Superman seemingly outclasses Thor in terms of raw strength, especially in earlier versions of the DC Universe. He's pulled planets, punched people into orbit, and performed all sorts of wild feats of strength.
Johnson announced in December that “Black Adam 2” was not moving forward for now. “'Black Adam' got caught in a vortex of new leadership,” Johnson said when Hart asked how it felt for franchise to be stopped. “It was so many changes in leadership.
However, when DC Studios welcomed new leadership in James Gunn and Peter Safran, the situation changed, and the "Black Adam" sequel was terminated. According to Variety, Johnson shared his opinion on why the film was canceled, saying, "'Black Adam' got caught in a vortex of new leadership."
“[It] got caught in a vortex of new leadership,” said Johnson. “Anytime you have a company, a publicly-traded company, and you have all those changes in leadership, you have people coming in who creatively, fiscally, are going to make decisions that you may not agree with, philosophically. [...]
Ant-Man is also pretty powerful, as his strength remains high in proportion to his size and he can pack a mean punch when no one sees it coming. However, at the end of the day, Scott Lang is still not that experienced, and that means that, even with a super-powered suit, he doesn't match up with most of the Avengers.
"Thanos could take a punch from the Hulk, we've seen that. And it stands to reason his whole body is at least as strong as that," Markus said. "If Ant-Man expanded, he would be simply crushed against the immovable walls of Thanos' mighty rectum."
