He is featured in titles published by DC Comics and first appeared in Showcase #34 in September-October, 1961 in a story called "Birth of the Atom!". The character went on to helm his own ongoing series, The Atom, which eventually spun-out into a team-up book, Atom and Hawkman. He was also featured in a four-issue mini-series, Sword of the Atom, as well another ongoing series Power of the Atom. The character has been a member of the Justice League of America and the leader of the second iteration of the Teen Titans. He was also a pivotal character in the DC crossover event known as "Countdown". The Atom has also appeared in alternate media including animated and live-action projects. He made appearances in the Super Friends family of programs by Hanna-Barbera Productions in the 1970s, as well as episodes of Justice League Unlimited in the 2000s. In 2014, the Atom made the leap to live-action as a recurring character on the CW Network television series Arrow, where he was played by Brandon Routh.
