Does he have any good stories? What makes him so powerful? Why

He had a title in the 80s that is GREAT. Look for it on comixology or whatever

>>94239365
Is he the Carol Manverse of DC
Only shills like him?

>>94239474
W--what? This guy has had like zero push from DC in like 30 years. About the only thing the average comic fan knows him for is blowing up in an AU story once.

The Bates/Weisman run is fantastic.

>Does he have any good stories?

As mentioned, the 80's run is really good and the new mini was a nice return to form.

>What makes him so powerful?

Honestly? Lazy writers who thought that because his powers were related to nuclear energy, they could do anything with him, to the point of being Dr. Manhattan-lite.

>Why doesn't DC use him more?

Again, because bad writing makes him too powerful to use.

The Post-Flashpoint one?

>What makes him so powerful?
Quantum field theory as a superpower.

>Why doesn't DC use him more?
Far too powerful when written competently. Lack of villains that can legitimately be a threat to him. He is basically Firestorm if Firestorm was 1000x more powerful than Firestorm.

>Why doesn't DC use him more?
Because only Weisman likes him.

This should be the standard Firestorm costume, not that cosplay-tier shit.

But that's Firestorm Anon.

So which is it?

>>94240047
The latter. Captain Atom is legitimately one of the few beings capable of holding his own against Superman and win. And this was even before he started accidentally creating universes and blowing up universes.

Why is Major Force such a jobber then?

The guy cannot even fly

>>94239365
>Why doesn't DC use him more
He just had a mini recently.
They don't use him often because he doesn't sell. Nothing to do with powers or villains as powerlevelfags like >>94239792 suggest.

So like Superman?

>>94240047
Neither. He wasn't Dr. Manhattan lite originally, future writers just started bandwagoning Watchmen.
