2010
Atom was considered for membership during the meeting of the Justice League. Captain Marvel questioned whether his size was a valuable addition to the League, but Batman spoke in the Atom's favor. It was eventually decided that Atom could join.

With the other inductees into the League, Atom was welcomed to the Hall of Justice and given an official membership pass along with Plastic Man, Doctor Fate, Icon and Red Arrow. Because the card was bigger than him at the time, Atom had some trouble holding it.

After being made a slave of the Light's mind control, Atom welcomed Vandal Savage aboard the Watchtower with a silent kneel of obedience.

Still under mind control, Atom was slicing the remaining piece of Starro with a laser scapel, when suddenly, a Starro slice floated. He changed his size to grab it, but in the process was tagged with cure-tech by Miss Martian, and went unconscious.

2011-2015
Atom took on Karen Beecher as his lab assistant.

December 2015
Atom was one of a number of Justice League members who responded to the emergency in Metropolis. Even at his minimum size, he was unable to get through the force field surrounding the city. He asked Red Tornado for the whereabouts of the other Leaguers.

The alien ship firing an apparently ineffectual beam of energy at the force field caused Atom to realize the field was probably generated from the inside. Nightwing communicated the information to the heroes trapped in the field.

Martian Manhunter, the Atom, and the Flash snuck aboard the alien vessel, and were soon approached by the Collector of Worlds. Atom made a futile attempt to attack The Collector while he was distracted, before immediately being spotted and dropped to the ground. The heroes were quickly defeated, and dropped, via a hatch, from the Collector's ship.

2016


After Gamma Squad saved hostages from the Kroloteans, Atom arrived on the scene with the rest of the Justice League members and the Team, riding on Flash's shoulder.

Dr. Palmer checked in on research from his assistant, Karen Beecher. He greeted Mal Duncan, before taking a look at Karen's work. To compare results against the white dwarf fragment, he committed to several hours of work with her. Mal dismally left without them noticing.
