CAPTAIN ATOM

So many different ways you can attack. I can blast nuclear energy out of my body. All this power. And yet, whenever we come up against someone like us, we just punch each other in the face. Do you know why? Because it feels good. The Pentagon thinks I can take you, Clark. Do you know why I haven’t before now? Because I serve. Because I fight for my country, not myself. Because I haven’t been ordered to. Because I know I’m not bigger than our nation. I follow orders, Clark. Orders have changed.

CAPTAIN ATOM

I can’t hold it in. Do you understand? I have more power in me than ten nuclear bombs, and you and your stupid magic sword have just breached the only thing that can contain it. Now I have a choice to make. I can stand here. I can let go. I can take you and the entire North Pole with me. Or I can do what’s right. Do you remember, Clark? Do you remember when you thought of anyone but yourself? I have orders, Clark. I was ordered to take you out if the opportunity presented itself. I guess this is my last opportunity. You can’t hurt me. I’m already dead. And I’m taking you with me.
