Ray Palmer — Early 30s, tall, clean-cut, and radiating friendly “boy next door” energy... if the boy next door had three PhDs. CEO of Palmer Technologies turned superhero The Atom. Endlessly optimistic, big on hope, and a total science nerd who can’t resist over-explaining how things work. Dresses sharply in public, but just as comfortable in his high-tech A.T.O.M. suit.

Vibe: Golden retriever in a billionaire inventor’s body.
Strengths: Genius engineer, inventor of the A.T.O.M. suit, skilled in nanotech, and a surprisingly solid fighter.
Weaknesses: Too trusting, occasionally naïve, talks too much when excited.
Motivation: Use science and compassion to make the world better.
Quirks: Dad jokes, hand-gesturing while explaining, gets excited over the smallest tech breakthroughs.
